The Sony BRAVIA X Series and BRAVIA X-Series also come with twin HDMI inputs and integrated Digital tuner and three Scart and two Component interfaces and the sound quality has been improved on by using powerful integrated speakers and Dolby Pro Logic II Virtual Surround digital signal processing and BBE Digital technology.

Sony has also increased the size of screens with the introduction of the R2000 series. This is a huge 70 inch LCD with everything the X and W series has. And the A2000 series will again be similar but available in a 55 and 70 inch screen size.

Customer Review: Stunning LCD TV
Ordered this LCD TV on Saturday night and got delivery from Parcelforce in perfect condition at 10:30am on Monday (Amazing Service - Thanks Amazon). Have always stuck by Sony TVs with my last being a WEGA 32″ 100MHz CRT which is still awesome, but needed something more current for my XBox360 and this is just stunning! Played around with the settings (taking off most advanced features) and this baby just sings quality and clarity! An exceptional picture, both for games and DVD playback through the 360 (via component connection). Have not tried the Freeview yet, but can still wholeheartedly recommend this TV to anyone using an XBox360 (or those thinking of purchasing the Ninty Wii or PS3). At this price, this LCD TV is a steal!

October 30th, 2007

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.

How do I choose the right size wall mount bracket for my LCD/Plasma TV? First, check the back of your TV and find the four threaded holes (if there is no threaded holes or less then four holes, then the TV is not classified as wall-mountable); Secondly, measure the horizontal and vertical distances between them (in mm); Now select a wall mount bracket with dimensions 40mm or more longer in both horizonal and vertical directions. If you are still not sure what to do, try our BracketFinder (www.pickanoffer.co.uk)

Customer Review: Fantastic..
Was looking for a 2.1 system to get rid of all the cabling i had, Decided on this after reading the other reviews. Very pleased with it. Looks amazing. Sounds amazing. Recommended.
Customer Review: Sounds great; looks great.
I think Kevin’s review does a great job of explaining the technical issues regarding this product, so I won’t bother duplicating that here; suffice to say he’s absolutely correct in what he says. Instead, having had the unit for about 4 months at this point, I’ll add some more detail regarding what it’s like to live with. Firstly, it really does sound great and totally transforms your viewing experience. However I don’t like the fact that there’s no equalisation option built in. The sound is a little bright for my tastes and I’d really like the option of controlling that a little - but that’s not possible, which I was a little surprised about. I mean, how many hi-fi systems do you buy that don’t at least have “Bass and Treble” adjustment? C’mon Sony - I have a radio in the shower that has that much! Secondly, the “rear” speakers have a tendency to distort at higher volumes (anything above half). At first I thought this was just a fault with my unit, but Sony replaced what I originally believed were defective speakers (great service from Sony BTW) but this made no difference - it just seems to be a limitation of the device. I should point out that “half” volume on this thing is still pretty darn loud, and it’s only specific frequencies that cause the issue (particularly sustained female choirs and string sounds - think Lord of the Rings music just after Gandalf “dies” in Moria) so it doesn’t cause me any problems during day-to-day listening, but if you’re a hi-fi purist wanting to experience great movie sound at high volumes I’d urge caution. Thirdly, the difference this unit made to the general clutter of gadgets around my TV was enormous. It has some really simple but effective cable controls built in that make an amazing difference to the amount of wires running behind your TV system. My partner’s a stickler for neatness and even she was impressed! So if you’re constantly having to explain the tangle of wires to a loved one this is definitely the solution for you. I have a Sky box, a Nintendo Wii, an Xbox 360 and a PS3 all plugged in and it’s still very neat and tidy. Fourthly, it looks great. Everyone who comes in to the room comments on how cool the TV stand looks, and when they realise the sound system’s built in to it they’re amazed. Fifthly, (is that even a word?) a niggle. The display screen is on the top of the unit, under the glass top. On the plus side this looks fantastic and definitely adds to the sexy design. On the negative side it’s impossible to tell which sound source is selected from across the room or even, indeed, whether the unit is switched on or not. It gets tedious pretty quickly having to stand up and walk across the room just to find out if the unit is on. Sony, if you’re reading this, can you *please* put a tiny light on the front when you next upgrade it? That way at least I’d know it was definitely on when I’m trying to figure out why I can see my TV picture, but can’t hear anything. So, overall I’d highly recommend this unit to anyone, but particularly those who are a bit short of space and/or don’t have the option of running speaker cable round to the rear speakers. The negative points don’t spoil the experience enough to get in your way, but I’ll knock a star off the score just to give Sony something to aim for next time! Oh, and one last thing - make sure you have someone to help when you get it delivered. This thing weighs a ton. If you think this would be a good home cinema solution for your room then go ahead and buy it; you won’t be disappointed. Hope that helps! —

Plasma / LCD Wall Mount Bracket for Sony Bravia KDL46V2000 LCD HD Ready Digital Television, 46 Inch

October 29th, 2007

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?.

Customer Review: An Excellent TV.
After a long time I decided on the Sony 46″, the price was very good, It was ?400 more expensive on the Sony site and ?300 more from the larger out of town stores, plus Amazon were offering a DVD recorder for free, an amazing deal. It took Amazon only 3 days to deliver, phoned with a time 2 hour time slot, and the TV was delivered by two very professional carriers who were very friendly and very helpful and delevery was made in the two hour slot. I worked for one of the large out of town stores in a management position and never delivered that good a service. The TV is everything that you would expect from a Sony TV, Excellent picture, good features and it looks fantastic. A five star TV with a five star service, the best I have received from any company.
Customer Review: Who needs 1080p when your tv’s as good as this!!
So where to Start?? Wll i’d been researching tv’s looking at getting a great tv to compliment my collection of consoles and sky hd. I came across this one and at the price i thought what the hell give it a go. Honestly you will not be dissapointed in this set!! It is Excellent. only small niggle is SD Signal quality but that is still well above par or the Size of the tv. Also It’s the signals fault and not the Tv’s!! I also got the DVD recorder included in the price!! What a deal - the tv sells for over 1500 pounds in high street stores alone! I paid ?999 for the TV and DVD recorder. The price has gone up since but I would still reccomend you to buy this TV even at the higher price!! You Will Not Regret it!! especially if you have a PS3 or Xbox 360 they look absolutey brilliant!!.

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.

Customer Reviews
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!

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.

Customer Review: Excellent value for money
Having missed out on this tv when on offer with Woolworths, I still bought it at 480 through amazon and its well worth it and still a great deal. Excellent delivery, so easy to set up, best picture I have ever had and better than my old sony CRT (trinitron?). Sound is great. Very good deal on a Sony Bravia and the slate grey colour is perfect - not too shiny! Buy it !!!
Customer Review: Brilliant but….
Very happy overall with this TV. It looks great, is easy to set up and has nice onscreen menus with excellent sound. However I’ve noticed that slow moving or still images have portions move at times. You might expect LCDs to show problems with fast action but no problem there - it’s great for sports. I’d be interested to see if anyone else has noticed piecs of onscreen faces distort and then re-resolve? If I can sort that with a setting option I’d gladly rate it 5*

SONY HDMI High-Definition Multimedia Interface

October 23rd, 2007

This is a high-bandwidth video connection that carries digitized RGB picture information and can support copy-protection methods. The HDMI specification allows for the presentation device and display device to agree on an optimal picture size and resolution to ensure the highest quality picture automatically. The multi-pin HDMI interface transfers uncompressed digital video with copy protection and multichannel audio. Using an adapter, HDMI is backward-compatible with most current DVI connections.

And with HDMI your BRAVIA LCD TV can be linked to other future HD sources, such as Blu-Ray players, next generation games consoles and HD camcorders

How are you going to sell this item if theres no details about it. Im looking for a descent sized T.V that’s 60hz or more so i can use my xbox 360 on it because some of the games require 60hz T.V. But nooooo! just write down the weight of the product and everything will be fine

Customer Review: Sony KDL-40X3500
Fantastic TV, its the best set Sony have produced yet, however, in their wisdom, Sony have decided to fit this set with two cooling fans which you can clearly hear when the set is on. I would strongly recommend visiting a Sony Centre or any other electrical shop where you can see/listen to the set while it is switched on to see if you can live with the noise coming from these fans, it really does let the set down.

Sony Bravia KDL32V2500 TV LCD PLASMA Wall Mount Bracket
This is a great bracket for your TV LCD PLASMA TV. It’s HEAVY DUTY, Easy to install and Looks Great! Solid steel construction and adjustable for the best viewing angle.
Customer Review: OK but TV is a long way out from the wall
Reasonable bracket for the price but your set will end up a long way out from the wall. The bracket itself is approx 10cm deep, add the depth of the TV and your screen will be 20cm or so from the wall. The tilt mechanism is fine in theory but in practise I’ve never used it. I should have bought a slimline bracket instead.
Customer Review: Excellent wall mount
Overall I would rate this wall mount 4 stars. I was impressed with the general quality and price; comparative wall mounts costing in excess of ?100+. The instructions were easy to follow, the installation and setup being intuitive. The only criticism I would have is the rawl plugs supplied. The instructions advise using a 10mm drill piece to place the plugs; I however found this too large and an 8mm bit too small. Easily fixed with either purchasing higher quality plugs from the local hardware store or a simple piece of card around the plug to pad it out. Apart from that the mount is superb, not a problem in mounting my Sony 32″ and has sufficient room for cabling, HDMI, SCART and Ariel, very impressed.

BRAVIA Engine Picture Enhancement
Amazon Price: ?369.99
Used Price: ?304.99
Customer Review: Superb
I purchased this television to replace my old crt television in my bedroom, as well as buying it for the new consoles. I have to say I was not disappointed by this television at all, the picture quality is superb, the menus are simple to use and the freeview guide system is better than a lot of others. As for vouching on its lifespan, i’ve only owned this from august so its too early to say, I will however mention that I find that sony products are built to last.
Customer Review: Small but perfectly formed
The Sony KDL20S2030 is proof of the philosophy that you get what you pay for - you can buy a 20″ LCD TV for half the price of this one. However, both the visual and audio quality of this set puts it at the top of the pile. The picture is vibrant, sharp and very lifelike with an almost startling intensity that is missing in most other sets of this size and larger. Also, the sound quality belies the size of the set in that it is extremely clear and has significant presence to it. Additionally, the range of settings and connections including HDMI is very wide indeed. Initial setup is very easy too being largely automatic. Only two slight “nit picks” from someone who is hard to please when it comes to gadgets - the remote control is silver as opposed to black (I bought the black version of this TV) and its scale is disproportionately large given the size and likely placement of this set - to me this is lazy on the part of Sony in such an expensive product. I think they “borrowed” a remote from a larger set. Overall, though, this is a high quality product, that is well finished with matt surfaces to the cabinet and screen (unlike the distracting shiny “piano black” of some rival manufacturers sets), high quality output and logical controls. In summary, unreservedly recommended.

Plasma / LCD Wall Mount Bracket for Sony Bravia KDL32S2010 LCD HD Ready Digital Television, 32 Inch

October 20th, 2007

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.
