with Integrated Digital Tuner

Customer Review: Awesome!
Mulled over which bravia to buy for months. This model is awesome. Looks fantastic switched off and the quality when switched on is unmistakable. Bravia PRO engine, 100Hz, 1080P, combine to give awesome picture quality with both SKY HD and PS3. Sound is through a 5:1 system so haven’t really tried out the TVs own. No noise issues with the internal fan. Can’t recommend this enough.

Sony KDL40X2000U - 40″ Widescreen Bravia 1080P Full HD LCD TV - With Freeview
Full HD Ready TruSurround XT and BBE digital surround sound

Customer Review: Great - until it broke!
The TV was great to start with - picture quality is fantastic, sound is excellent, and it was everything I’d hoped for. But after 15 weeks it broke - the screen went blank and it kept switching itself on and off in an endless cycle. “No problem” I thought - it’s under warranty and I’ll get it repaired.

Well, the TV was collected on 26th November and, nearly 7 weeks later, I still don’t have it back. Christmas viewing was ruined. The repairers, acting under Sony’s instruction, keep ordering parts (which are never in the country and take days to arrive), fit them, and it till doesn’t work. Sony themselves are completely useless - all I get from them is a promise to call the repairers, which I can do myself. As of today it appears to be fixed but I still have to wait another 4 days to get it back.

My advice? Buy a Panasonic Viera. Wish I had.

Customer Review: KDL 40 X 2000 Review
After reading many reviews on various LCD makes (including on the SOny 40 x series), going into one showroom after another and getting staff to carry out a variety of tests to compare a number of LCD brands within the 37″ to 40″ range, I now have to agree with all the good reviews about the Sony 40″ X series. I took delivery yesterday and I am even more impressed than my initial impression when seeing this Sony LCD in the shops. And guess what, picture clarity of standard terrestial TV signal is crystal clear. Even without connecting to a SKY HD box set. …By the way John Lewis did a price match for ?1549 (with 5 yr warrentee)..Best value out there at the moment when you check prices on line (with 5 yrs cover included). Pick any online company with a walk-in shop/warehouse where LCDs (of any make) can be bought over the counter.

The tricky part is attaching the TV stand (took 3 mins), but once that was done Setting up the TV took me a couple of minutes at the most. The automatic Smart TV setting resizes your ITV image to fit the screen with little distortion of the image. I did not itend to spend this amount on an LCD however I can tell you all it was absolutely worth pushing the boat out.

I would advise seating at least 2 meters from the screen and futher out for better viewing. Also you may want to invest in a home cinema system or equivalent audio system. The LCD speakers could have been better, but hey, I am not complaining. ALl in all only slightly (and stress slightly) let down by speakers. Beware issues with 40X3500. more money but improvement do not justify additional cost.

BRAVIA Engine picture enhancement

Customer Review: Great product!!!
Was hesitating to get an X series but I decided finally to save ?500,given that it seems that the performancs are almost identical.

Got my 46″ W series delivered yesterday. What can I say?

Perfect build quality, no dead pixels, no bleeding…

Couple it with an XBOX360 and max the resolution trough the VGA connexion —- you will be blown away!!! No smearing, no double picture…

Fantastic colours and lots of connectivity in the back…

SD picture is ok, I expected it to be worse and it is not that bad…

Sound is fine too, although cant obviously beat a good set of 5.1 speakers…

All in all, a very good product. I honestly recommended it

Customer Review: Awsome TV
I was not sure whether to get this or the model S, but a quick review of features on the Sony website (when are you going to allow Comparison on Amazon to save me leaving your website and risk me buying elsewhere guys??) revealed the T had a much better spec for very little extra.

The picture is fantastic and the sounds great too. I am a Sony fan but when they keep producing such good products why would I go elsewhere?

Customer Review: Nicely featured TV
I bought this television from Amazon a short while ago. It was very easy to set up and I’m very pleased with both the picture and sound quality. It is absolutely packed with features, most of which I have not tried yet. I’ve only found a couple of little niggle so far. Firstly when I mounted the Television on the wall using a standard universal vesa mounting bracket, which was not a Sony product, the bracket obscured both the HMDI sockets and the PC/VGA input socket at the rear of the set. Secondly the power supply and all the controls are situated at the top of the set. If you want to mount the set high up on the wall, it can be difficult to power off the set completely. Apart from the above design features, I’m very pleased with the KDL-26T3000.

Customer Review: Great telly but no 24fps mode for HD-DVD / Blu Ray
Everything about this TV is top-notch, apart from it not having a 24fps mode for HD-DVD players. This means certain scenes on HDDVDS (and BluRay) will appear jerky (like they are running at about 10 frames per second) because of…well, it’s too complicated to go into here but suffice to say you will be very upset if you buy a player and try and watch Planet Earth on it. Any scene with lots of moving detail (shots from the air mainly) look terrible. Apparently the only solution is to buy a 24fps telly - my player is 24fps compatible, I assumed this TV was too, but sadly it’s not. SIGH. ?900 for a telly which can’t play HD-DVDs properly…how annoying. Need to find someone to offload this onto asap…

Customer Review: Sony Bravia 40″
The television was a replacement but the old TV worked fine. However, hubby fell for the bargain within the Sony shop. They have some real bargains so we bought a Sony DVD player/recorder at the same time.

There was just no ’setting up’ involved. The pair ‘married’ when plugged in and even the SKY hand control works properly now - turns TV off even! Both hand controls work either Sony TV or Recorder so hunting for the correct one is a thing of the past. Haven’t felt the need to purchase HD from SKY as the quality is great. I think the TV is ahead of it’s time.

Going back to buy hubby a set of surround sound speakers for his Christmas present (his idea not mine). Can’t wait personally.

Customer Review: I nearly sent this TV back to Amazon
I bought this TV a couple of months ago but have held off reviewing it until my issues with it were resolved. The TV arrived fairly quickly and it certainly looks good. The colours are great and it’s really easy to use - but my issue was over the picture quality.

I can’t easily describe the problem I was having. Non-HD souces such as ordinary DVD’s and TV did not produce a particularly great image quality. This I suppose wasn’t a huge surprise but did disappoint. The biggest issue seeing dark, coloured or textured areas of the screen moving in the opposite direction to the movement of the camera - especially on shots with hand held cameras. It was very odd and very off-putting. I contacted Sony, who were very good but had no idea what I was referring to, and neither did my local Sony Centre.

Amazon were good and said they were prepared to refund me if I returned the TV. However, I dragged my heels over this as it’s just such a pain to return such a large item and be without a TV until I bought another one (I had got rid of my previois TV by this point).

Then my old Sony DVD recorder started to misbehave, so I bought a Sony RDRGX350B DVD Recorder with upscaling. I also bought an HDMI cable to attach the DVD player to the TV - and this has solved my problem!! The wonky imaging has gone and there is a definite difference in DVD image quality - Disney’s Cars looks so good, it’s hard to imagine how true HD DVD could improve upon it!!!

I now really like this TV and would recommend it, good for the price, great colours and looks great when using an HD-like source. The last thing I need to do now is actually try a proper HD source!

Customer Review: Absolutely Brilliant!!!!
Bought this TV at Christmas - the picture is absolutely brilliant and so is the sound quality. I turned up the volume to max and there was no distortion at all. Linked up to my Sony Home Theatre System - no need to go to the cinema ever again.

The set up, as mentioned in previous review, is so simple - it does it all for you when you first switch it on.

Bought from Argos for ?499 - can’t go wrong. If you want to become future proofed, this is the TV to get - even includes built in Freeview, HDMI sockets, Blu Ray socket - the works!!!!
