Excellent balance between top range and mid range Sony Models
What a great TV. Not the best in the Sony range but it comes in with not as many ports as the V model and with slight lower spec in the bravia engine but supports 1080p. Connected to PS3 with GT 5 prologue playing is a sight to believe. Absolutely incredible. Standard TV can look grainy but this is down to the low resolution of the standard digital signal. Any HD output to the TV is outstanding. I noticed no damaged pixels on delivery and starting it up first time. Amount of connections is more than enough for most. For me it was just right.
Menu setup and installation was the easiest I've ever experienced with a TV. Even getting it out of the box has easy with a well thought out catch release system so the box parts around the TV allowing easy extraction. Delivery was prompt within 5 working days and the company keeping me up to date.
Only problem I found was not with the TV. The registration PC CD disk provided with the TV doesn't work. The site reports database error when using the disk to register. I manually went to the sony site and registered the TV to get around this.
I'd suggest this TV to anyone who'll be using HD content a lot. If your getting this for digital TV only then go for a HD Ready model instead (Sony S range are good value). The grain on standard digital (non HD) may put you off. For me it wasn't an issue. You have to be close to the TV to notice it to any real extent anyway.
Its a Sony what ealse do you want me to say.
Picture with standard t.v good.
Picture with Bluray films mind blowing.
Picture with games mind blowing.
Sound good all round.
Forget about the rest for the money this t.v is must i speak from experience as i had before this a Toshiba 37" and a Phillips 42", Toshiba good for the price an entry level lcd, Phillips poor on standard tv and rubbish sound.
Save yourself the hassle and get this tv first.
Fab!
This is a fantastic TV, we have been looking for a TV for 5 weeks and decided finally on this one, apart from only two ports it is the same as the V series. We switched ours on last night for the first time and it tuned itself in to a really good picture, better than the Samsung that a friend has. I was really impressed and value for money is fantastic. The only thing is that if you intend to watch DVD's with high levels of special effects and have not got an HD dvd player then you might want to buy an upscaler. A fantastic TV!!
