Sony KDL HDTV - Visual Master Piece Beauty

Advantages: Crystal clear graphics,Auto tuning,plenty of sockets,modern
Disadvantages: Pricey(paying for quality)-Competitive market

...Ok, so heres the scenario, ive baught myself an xbox 360, looking to take my gaming to the next level, and play with the most upto date crystal clear visuals i can afford. After a long and hard journey, travelling from shop to shop, comparing over 20 different TV's, the path has led me to choosing the Sony KDL20S2020. Firstly, its sony, and everyone knows that Sony intend to give the best possible service and products that they can. I was drawn to the TV mainly due to the name for starters, and it caught my attention in the shop as it was playing finding Nemo and Star wars Dvds, and the visuals where purely crystall clear, obviously the main aim for the shop but it drew me in. As you do, i asked questions, questions, and more questions being the 'noob' in the Television world. Most of the questions where is it compatible...

Review of Sony KDL-26P2530

Sony KDL-S 26 A 12 U LCD TV digital HD ready

Advantages: Brilliant picture and sound, easy setup,weight
Disadvantages: none attributable to the TV at this time

...Our existing widescreen 28" TV (which was seriously heavy, needed 2 of us to move it - still at risk of hernia - and seemed to occupy a large section of our room projecting backwards nearly 2 feet) expired recently and refused to have anything more to do with us. Some quick net searches revealed the vast range of LCD widescreen TV's available, but importantly brought us up to date with imminent technological changes : we decided that, to futureproof a little, the set for us needed to be 26", digital ( but with analogue capability for the time being) incorporate freeview, and be HD ready, and for my wife in particular elegant in design and silver! Half a day spent whizzing around the usual electrical stores locally helped a little, but our eventual choice and purchase was made at the local Sainsbury store. Their price, £699.99, we...

This pictures So nyce you'll be square eyed in no time

Advantages: crystal clear sound and picture, lightweight, good sized screen and much more
Disadvantages: none what so ever

...Televisions are something the majority of people have in there homes, (I mean, what else is all your furniture pointing at?) and with this digital switchover approaching faster than a whippet on steroids people are having to buy either a digital box for there old faithful television or a brand new television with built in digital. Anyway, I have had the pleasure of having a dig box which was plugged into the bedroom television, but when I recently saw a cracking offer on a Sony television with built in freeview I jumped at the chance to replace my old faithful television in the bedroom, (not a lot else happens in the bedroom these days anymore?) The television in question is the Sony KDL- 26S5500 with Bravia 2 and much more? ** THE SPECIFICATIONS IN BRIEF? * HD ready * 16 watt power output, 0.5 watts on standby * 26...

Sony KDL-46W5500 - awesome LCD TV with stunning pictures

Advantages: Stunning pictures, loaded with features, useful extra connection options
Disadvantages: Expensive - but it is a Sony

...Finally decided to upgrade my old Trintron CRT and spent the past 3 months or so looking at the various LCDs available out there. I initially settled on a Sony KDL46W4500 after seeing one in a store and was just about to part with my hard earned cash when I started reading reviews and read about the so-called dreaded 'backlight bleed'. Given the high cost of the Sony, this completely put me off, so it was back to the drawing board for me. I spent more time looking around but never quite found a set I fancied as much as the 46W4500, that was until the Sony KDL46W5500 came out. I couldn't find any reviews but found it online at a very competitive price so I decided to take a chance on it. All I can say is I'm glad I took the risk. The picture on this set is nothing short of stunning. I don't have HD installed yet but the SD picture is...

Review of Sony KDL46W5500U

Sony KDL-40W4500

Advantages: Class leading HD pictures, Well above average SD pictures, 100hz technology
Disadvantages: Even though this set is cheap at £850, £850 is still a lot of money.

...still produce good quality SD pictures. I considered the Sony KDL-40W4000 for quite some time. However even though this is towards the top end of Sony's range, (only the flagship X range is significantly better), it still doesn't produce a SD picture that I find good enough. On the other hand, the HD performance of the W4000 is amongst the best in it's class. In time I will be watching more and more HD, so it is also very important to me to get class leading HD pictures. Luckily Sony seem to agree. They have come up with this, the KDL-40W4500. It's basically the W4000 with some enhancements. The main ones being 100hz scanning and improved motion control. The HD picture is improved over the W4000, making it the equal of sets in the £2000-£3000 range. But more importantly for me, the SD picture is vastly improved over the W4000...

  Sony KDL32S2010 - Still a Sony Fan

Advantages: Good Picture and Excellent Sound. Easy to set up with lots of features
Disadvantages: Occasional picture freeze (see review) when TV tends to re-set itself (probably due to broadcast conditions though)

...I have been resisting switching over to digital television since it first appeared. And as far as I was concerned, the TFT televisions were to be avoided until all the niggling problems were ironed out. After getting back to (almost) normal after my heart attack, I decided it was time to "bite the bullet" and get a TFT. A 32-inch model would be about the best size for our lounge so that's what I opted for and, being a Sony fanatic, Sony it had to be. Our last Sony (CRT) television had been with us for 10 years or more and had never given any problems and the same can be said for our Sony video recorder. I was surprised to find out that receiving digital was not without it problems. Firstly, you cannot record one channel and watch another, but I am digressing here from the actual TV? Enter the Sony Bravia. KDL-32S2010. First...

Review of Sony KDL-32S2010E

Sony KDL-32U2000 Review

Advantages: It's a Sony, it's stylish, it's reasonably priced
Disadvantages: None really

...After a bit of research and specification comparisons I bought the KDL-32U2000 to replace a 15 year old Sony 25" Trinitron that had served me well but was beginning to show its age. The picture had gradually developed an orange/pink cast with fine horizontal streaks and a general loss of definition and brightness, so definitely the time had come for its retirement. I chose the KDL-32U2000 because it offered some degree of future-proofing being HD ready with built-in Freeview, NICAM stereo and all the required sockets for connecting external equipment. The price seemed reasonable compared to other makes of similar specification, and having confidence in Sony products, I took the plunge and ordered the set online from a well known e-tailer offering free 24 hour delivery. Installation was a breeze with the on-screen menus and after...

Review of Sony KDL-32U2000

Sony packs a punch

Advantages: Stunning when used with blu ray and high definition broadcasts
Disadvantages: easily smudged screen and initially confusing menu

...Sony are just about the top of the league when it comes to audovisual fare. The Sony KDL40W5500 accordingly costs a pretty penny although if you know where to go it can be had for a pretty reasonable cost compared to lesser rivals. The set may look pretty but there are prettier rivals. The picture, when used with your own digital service or DVD, is pretty good with sharp colours and clear images. The sound is clear and distinct. I would recommend that you hang this set well out of the way since the screen easily picks up smudges from little fingers and pens/pencils can easily damage the rather fragile screen. All well and good you say but is it worth the money? Well kind of. The set really comes into its own when its doing what it is supposed to do with high definition broadcasts and movies. This is when the super sharp pictures...

Advantages: 40" black cheapish, good brand, great picture, high spec
Disadvantages: overwelling features, loads to go wrong

...(such snobbery, not me my missus). I spent hours searching the interweb looking for TV's using Ciao, Kelkoo Price runner to no avail. Then I tripped across a not so well know site, how I got to it I don’t know but the site digitaldirect.co.uk seemed worth the Sherlock Holmes treatment. And it was £20 delivery for UK main land yea! And £855.01 for a black Sony TV Bobs your uncle, I order it on line and it was setup and working 3 days later. The TV is a thin slender and very light compared to the stogy brick we moved out, I had not bought a TV for years having had no need but my how things have changed. The spec list and techy gumf for this TV is out of this world so I'll start. The TV SONY.KDL-40S2530U 40" HD Ready IDTV Twin HDMI.
