The new 2006 S-Series and V-Series BRAVIA raise the bar even further, by combining the BRAVIA ENGINE and a unique next generation S-PVA panel.

    Even better Colour with Live Colour
    Creation on the V-Series BRAVIA
    BRAVIA is known for delivering colour like no other. And now even more so, with our unique new Live Colour Creation technology, within every V-Series BRAVIA. Live Colour Creation is a new Sony technology unique to BRAVIA, which delivers 30% wider colour than conventional LCD technology. This means BRAVIA can realise far deeper and more accurate tones, for absolutely stunning colour reproduction, exactly as nature intended.

    The BRAVIA ENGINE - generating
    incredible colour and clarity
    As you'd expect, remaining at the heart of every S-Series and V-Series BRAVIA LCD TV is the renowned BRAVIA ENGINE, our unique fully digital processor. Any signal you put into a BRAVIA, regardless of the source, goes through a pure digital perfecting process:

    Super Fast Response Time
    8 millisecond response time means fast-moving images such as sports or
    action sequences remain pin sharp, without any motion blur.

    Incredible High Contrast
    1300:1 super-enhanced contrast, delivers incredible depth,
    richness and picture detail, with blacks that are truly black.

    Ultra Wide Viewing Angle
    178° viewing angle means you can experience BRAVIA from almost any angle and there is no reduction in the colour and brightness of the image. This is particularly important when viewing larger television screens. Try it yourself in-store.

     

     

    The Complete BRAVIA LCD TV Experience
    With our unique new technologies, nothing delivers a combination of visual and audio in-home experience quite as stylishly as a BRAVIA.

    Colour like no other
    The BRAVIA ENGINE processor and the unique high spec S-PVA panel, in the new 2006 S-Series and V-Series BRAVIA LCD TVs deliver rich, deep colour, like no other. The V-Series also combines Live Colour Creation to produce the most natural colour yet.

    Sound like no other
    Trusurround XT technology delivers a virtual surround-sound experience from the front, with no additional speakers required. While the built-in digital amplification and BBE digital enhancement produces a pure `noise-free' clarity to any conceivable sound, be it a gently inhaled breath or a deep-space explosion.

    Style like no other
    Designed to look as good as the pictures they produce, the new S-Series and V-Series BRAVIA LCD TV are impressive
    even before you switch them on.

    Ultra slim, they feature VESA compliant mounting so they can be easily and safely hung on a wall, like a painting. Alternatively they remain just as stylish on their custom designed swivel stands. The space saving dynamic of LCD TV means you can replace a 32inch traditional box set with a 40inch BRAVIA LCD TV without it taking up any extra room.

    Superb picture and great value5
    I have this model and whilst I see the earlier reviewer has the 32 inch model, I don't think you can compare the 32 to 40inch set. The 40 inch is obviously a different screen, different internal motors and larger pixel display. When in service it appears brighter then the 32 inch set.

    I bought the television and within 10 minutes it was up and running. The manual is so easy to follow and once you turn the set on it directs you through setting up and locates the best signals for the channels. It's so easy.

    This is the first High Definition TV I have had and at first its a bit distracting to see the pixels on the screen from normal non HD TV, but when you sit back away from the set at a decent distance, you get a better picture, more life like feel to the programmes with enhanced colour.

    I have now connected up my Sky+ box and DVD and feel I am getting real value for money even before I get onto my HD services. Watching TV is a new ball game and I really can't understand how I kept my old 26 inch TV for so long. In fact I believe that even if you only watch non HD TV you will still see the full benefits of this set.

    I am very happy with the set and if you buy one I am sure you will be too.

    fantastic tv5
    just had the tv delivered.it is absolutley fantastic. i upgraded from a 24" to the 40", so a bit of jump. ou can never really appreciate the difference till it sits on your tv stand. just finished seeing a dvd on it. the colours are sharp,vivid and bright.there was never a choice of brand other than a sony. it was only which model of sony's willi buy.
    the set up is simple. good connectivity with two scarts, hdmi input, and a pc in as well for home multimedia.
    the change between av's in cycle is a bit slow and can be a bit irritating as you flick through the cycle but small price to pay for such a great buy. highly recommend it.

    5 Stars for TV -10 Stars for it breaking down....read below1
    I bought this TV back in March 2007 5 months later i had to send it off for repair. Now this is bad....A SONY for gods sake I wouldnt of minded if I had spent the money on a rubbish cheap TV from tescos but this was a grand that I spent on a well known manufacturer. I have just got it back after it being away for repair for one month the cost of repair!?!?!?-------£748--------(covered by warranty but this is NOT the point...)

    Man they might aswell of given us a new tv I think the only thing they didnt replace was the plastic surround and the remote!

    It IS a good tv with regards to picture xbox etc etc, but seriously people think hard when looking at a SONY...man is anything made well these days....

    I shall stop moaning now and go and sit in front of my ace(!) tv and wait for it to breakdown again...I just hope it lasts till I get to the end of Bioshock....

    Peace
