Sony KDL-40X3000

Advantages: Accurate Colours, Deep Blacks, Great HD picture
Disadvantages: Below-par video processing, expensive

...This television, for me, offers essentially everything - but at a price. Aesthetics wise, it is excellent, the glass surround adding an extra element of design often missing in new televisions. There are plenty of connections available for use on the X3000/X3500, including HDMIx3 and Componentx3, and a USB slot. Generally, I feel the Television offers very good image quality via SD Freeview, Sky or Virgin Media. During fast action scenes such as sports, the video processing of the Bravia Engine Pro lets the set down a bit - occasionally pixelated areas appear. This can be improved by activating the 'MotionFlow 100Hz' feature available, but it cannot be truely eliminated. However, HD is, as is most sets, where the Sony shines. The picture quality on Blu-Ray discs and the PlayStation 3 is excellent, with little to no motion blurring...

Review of Sony KDL-40X3000

Sony LCD TELEVISION

Advantages: : GOOD PICTURE QUALITY.
Disadvantages: QUITE EXPENSIVE.

...The Sony LCD television has numerous good features but let's start from the picture quality. This is the main thing that gives the television its unique name and other things. The LCD is capable of producing realistic pictures. The second aspect is the sound or the audio quality, which is marvelous too. The sound system has been made efficient due to the presence of loudspeakers and that has made the sound output very loud and extremely clear while in use. The picture quality is quite fantastic due to the HD ready presence and the picture projections are quite fantastic. THE LOOKS The LCD television is very slim and that gives it fragile looks. It comes in a black shiny polished colour and that gives it the beautiful attractive looks and on the other hand, does not pose much problems in carrying around because it is not...

Review of Sony KDL-32V4000

==Sony Have Done It Again!!==

Advantages: the most powerful console on the market, built in blu-ray player, internet capabilities, stylish
Disadvantages: none that i have yet found (owned for nearly 2 years)

...Let me start by saying, that despite the hefty rrp, despite the fact that its 3rd in the console race behind the nintendo wii and xbox 360 respectfully, the playstation 3 is in my honest opinion, the best out of the three without a doubt. When sony designed the playstation 3, it was intended to be a multimedia system that you could proudly place under your tv that dosn't look like it's ment to be in your teenagers bedroom and that they've comendeered your lcd tv because they can see more than they can on the portable in their room. i digress, they point i am trying to make is that this machine is as beautifull as it is powerful, and as practical as it is pricey (original rrp was £425) The playstation 3 is not just the best console (graphically nothing compares) it is also one of the best blu-ray players on the market and those...

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...

Sony 32" LCD WEGA Flat Panel HDTV

Advantages: great picture quality
Disadvantages: the TV may not be good for interior designing.

...Sony has a wide variety of Television to choose from. Flat TV is the most popular choice for buying a TV but have you consider buying a flat tv with HDTV? Well, if you are planing Sony 32" LCD WEGA Flat Panel HDTV is the best product to buy. Wtih many features in this product, you cannot ask for more. Actually, I always bought Sony products because they are always trusted when it comes to quality. My fist TV experience in this product is really awesome. This has a great picture quality that you always look in TV. And also, it is like you were on a cinema when you are watching because of it's amazing sound quality. You'll never ask for more. Lastly, this TV comes with a great low prices. Buy 32" because TV that are 40" to 50" wide have a poor picture quality....

Review of Sony 32" LCD WEGA Flat Panel HDTV - KDL-32XBR950

A Great System from Sony

Advantages: Nice Classy Design, Great Graphics, and a Good Online
Disadvantages: Small Gamelist Thus Far and Some Games Suffer From Framerate and Graphical Pop-Up Issues

...Sony's Playstation 3 is thier third go around in the Video Game business. My console reviews usually consist of reviews in the following categories Controller, Graphics, Multiplayer/Online, and Game Library. Much like the Xbox 360, i'll also be reviewing the Design of the PS3. The design of the PS3 is the more classy of the three new consoles. The PS3 is a black square system with a curved top. While the design is beautiful, this system is very big, matching the 360 in terms of size. The system also offers Blu-ray but, in my opinion, that should not be the only reason you should be spending $400-500 on this system. The PS3's controller is the classic Playstation controller once again and that shouldn't be a problem for any gamer. The original PS3 controller was the Sixaxis but is now Dualshock 3. For a company that created...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Sony is back with a bang!

Advantages: slick piece of hardware, great games, so much to do!
Disadvantages: not cheap!

...Having just recently won a competition to spend a night with the PS3 I figured it would be a smart idea to do a personal review of the console which everyone will be talking about (in the UK) in a few weeks to come. Please bear in mind that I have only had a chance to test this baby out for a few hours and so my review will not be as in-depth as you might expect. First Impressions The PS3 is indeed a slick looking machine, about the size of it's older brother (PS2) it seems as though finally Sony have caught on to the fact that the outer design of the console is as important to a gamer as the leather interior is to a 2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Gone is that ugly block-like design and in comes a smooth surfaced console with curved edges just begging you to caress them. Much like it's predecessor, the PS3 can be placed...

Sony LCD - A Sight to Behold

Advantages: Superb picture; Stylish design, Takes up soooo little space, Colours
Disadvantages: Pricey; Not the slimist

...Overview = The Sony KLV-26HG2 is a mid-size WEGA LCD TV. So many letters and numbers, so here goes an exaplanation ...... WEGA - basically a picture enhancing technology that makes the images seem stronger, sharper etc. LCD - liquid crystal display - better image quality than a Plasma display and less prone to 'image burn' 26 = 26 inches diagonally across screen. We purchased this some 6 months ago for a high £1500. Not the cheapest but it included a 5 year warranty (normally adds £300-£350 to the base price if you are comparing). The purpose - replace an old 28 inch Sony (cathode ray tube) TV which ,whilst working, was *huge*, and picture colours fading after all those years. I wanted to save the floor space and wall mount the TV. Whats with it? Comes in a heavy box. The stand is included (and...

Sony Official PS3 SIXAXIS Wireless Controller

Advantages: Great Design
Disadvantages: No Dual Shock

...This is a great controller jus like the classic ps1/ps2 the design stayed the same. This is the perfect controller i can not say anything about the slick design. As you may know this controller is wireless so you may use it from newere in the room so no messy wires hanging around. And the batttery lasts very long i dont have to charge it very often but i dont play hours every day either. Only bad this about this controller is that unlike the ps1/ps2 controllers this does not have dual shock so no rumble :(.This is because sony could not get rights for the technology. Sony what happened? Well good news this controller is being released again next year as Dual Shock 3 is comming out. So if you can wait i strongly urge you wait for it to come out as it is a great feature. The feeling for the game is lost without dual shock. Need...

Review of Sony Official PS3 SIXAXIS Wireless Controller

Have Sony rolled in the next gen with a bang??

Advantages: Excellent multimedia package ahead of its time
Disadvantages: Backward compatability probs, and some minor glitches

...Sony Playstation 3 (60 GB) At last the pinnacle of next generation gaming is finally upon us. Or is it? Maybe so, but have we not seen all this already? Sony's new games console the Playstation 3 or more commonly known as the PS3 was finally released across the European Union and Australia as well as the other PAL region 2 compatible countries on Friday 23rd March. With up to 300,000 units available at launch it was unlikely that the PS3, which had already been available in Japan and US from November last year, was going to be an overnight sell out. Even now as I write this review they are still available in the stores. Disappointed ebay sellers, who had hoped to make a bit of profit from pre-order sales riding on the launches of Microsoft's Xbox 360, Nintendo's Wii and Sony's PSP, are well and truly kicking themselves now...
