Quality and reliability with in built digital tuner
I was looking for a TV to go in the kitchen and nearly bought the Samsung as it looked great but the poor sound output let it down. My Sony is used for digital radio too and I already have a Sony digital box for my main TV. That has been 100% reliable (unlike the two Nokias I exchanged at John Lewis) and the TV looks as if it is made to the same standards. Very good sound in a large noisy kitchen, excellent picture quality, an electronic programme guide that list both radio and TV and allows easy switching between channels. Very easy to set up and takes up minimal space in the kitchen. Can’t see why it is worth bothering with non digital TV and having to buy a separate box. Digital picture quality and the extras all work intuitively. A real pleasure to own.

Excellent second TV
As with all Sony products, this one comes out on top for a small extra TV. So easy to set up,if you have Freeview already. Accepts analogue, so no problem in weak digital areas. Remote well set out with all controls easy to use even in the dark. Looks great too.

Now one thing about Sony Rolly is finally certain - it is a digital audio player. This information was published on the Official Sony Rolly Blog, which does not really leave room for doubt anymore. The blog also claims that Rolly will have only one button, which is used forplay/stop functions of the device.

Also, the reporters at the talked to some Sony high level executive, who told them, that Rolly is “a digital media player designed to extend the function of a Walkman-type device - to create a new category. Think of it as a music-focused Wii on wheels”

Great picture, great reception and great sound
I had a first generation analogue LCD (LG) for the kitchen/breakfast room and thought it was about time I updated for digital. My main TV is a large screen HD LCD with picture via V+ cable box, so I was expecting to be disappointed with this little Sony - but wow, it impressed straight out of the box. Set up was a doddle and the tuner seemed able to squeeze every last digital station out of the ether, which given the so so reception area I live in was quite remarkable. Its also very convenient to be able to switch from digital stations to analogue (so that I can watch ITV in analogue as they haven’t gone digital yet). The picture quality and sound are excellent and frankly there’s nothing I can fault on this splendid TV - it does exactly what is says it will and the price is quite reasonable given its a Sony.

I doubt you can buy it a cheaper price - given delivery is free - well done Amazon!

Yesterday Sony finally released a picture and a video displaying what Sony Rolly is all about (well, at least you see what the the cool stuff what Rolly does to beat of music). Rolly is a small flashing robot on two wheels, that “dances” to the rythm of music. What remains a mystery is, whether the Rolly actually plays the music itself, or if it only responses to it. My bet is, that it also plays the music itself through its built-in speakers. Also, would be interesting to know about the size of this grooving thing. Anyway you can see the tiny robot fella in action on the commercial video below.

What ever features the Rolly will eventually have, the little “guy” appears to be an extremely cool gadget as it is! As soon as we know more, we will also post it up here - so be sure to stay tuned! (If you want to be sure to stay up to date, you can always subscribe to the Rolly.tv RSS feed!)

I can’t wait!!!
Looked a bargain at Amazon’s price!!! Went onto Woolworths website and bought one for ?399 which was limited to 1 per customer. 10 minutes later and they have run out of stock, so I got there just in time.
Thank you Simpsonicman!

Buy This
If you want this TV then get it from WoolWorths only ?399!!! While Stocks Last

a disappointment
After reading all the other reviews below i was very dissapointed by the picture quality of the set - even to the point of returning it for a replacement.! the picture clarity compared to my old CRT is very poor with little definition, i’d wait till the technology improves before changing. though the unit looks the part on the wall and sound is excellent, if lacking depth.

The newest Sony LCD TV’s are the S-3000 series and D-3000 series.

The D-3000 range includes the fantastic one-touch Home Theatre control feature. Hook up all of your HD equipment, e.g. Blu-Ray Disc Player, HD DVD Player or Playstation 3 via the 3 HDMI connectors and operate them all in one go with a single press of the power button on the Bravia Theatre Sync remote. This will also turn down the TV sound and allow the Home Theatre audio take over.

The 24p True Cinema feature will display movies played through either a Blu-Ray player or HD DVD player, at the original 24 frames per second that they we originally captured in, resulting in the perfect image and sound you could possibly expect.

Another important factor in displaying the perfect image is the refresh rate and the D-3000 series doubles the standard refresh rate from 50Hz to 100Hz by using Motionflow +100 technology. This superbly intelligent image function allows the human eye to visualise image motion much smoother and more realistic than an image without the technology.

A new Sony range of HD LCD TV?s would not be complete without an enhanced colour reproduction system and with the D-3000 range a 10bit panel has been included compared to the 8bit panel that is usually offered. Thus resulting in 1024 shades of gradation so real life colours and textures really will show and therefore taking TV and Movie watching into a whole new level.

The S-3000 series releases a new range of high definition ready LCD TV?s which are to feature the ?Bravia? Theatre Sync system which send signals through the HDMI ports enabling the home entertainment to be controlled by a single button press. This also results in the LCD TV itself being switched on as well as audio equipment and the Blu-Ray Disc player, DVD player or HD DVD player that is connected. This new range has 3 HDMI connectors for the ultimate in connectivity and through these connectors signals will be sent via all hardware and will power them up or switch them off with one button on the Bravia Theatre Sync remote.

The BRAVIA S-3000 series will be available in 30, 40 and 46 inch models and the D-3000 series will be available in 46inch.

The Sony BRAVIA S-Series also uses fully digital amplification for a low-noise, hiss-free output through its integrated stereo speakers thanks to SRS TruSurround XT technology.

The Sony BRAVIA V-Series have a few extras not found in the S-Series, and hence costs a little more. The Sony V-Series uses Sony Live Colour Creation technology which gives a boosted spectrum of colour providing truer reds and greens.

It also has Wide Colour Gamut (WCG) CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) which as well as being a mouthful is an exclusive Sony design employing improved light-emitting phosphors which completely transforms the characteristics of the screen.

The Sony BRAVIA X-Series and BRAVIA W-Series use a BRAVIA ENGINE EX, an upgrade that increases the resolution by a factor of up to four, doubling the number of vertical lines and horizontal pixels. What this does is give an image with an unprecedented degree of detail and clarity, which raises SDTV to a completely new level. Sony calls this process ?Digital Reality Creation?.
