Manufacturer’s Description

SONY BRAVIA

The experience like no other,
just got even better.
BRAVIA is fast becoming synonymous with a quality of colour and a clarity of detail that no comparable LCD TV can match - a picture so good it enhances the viewing experience, no matter what you like to watch. With the incredibly successful launch of BRAVIA, the new Sony FTV and 3LCD range is ready to take the market by storm with its new model launches. The new entry model U-Series features high resolution image processors, integrated digital tuner and is HD ready with HDMI input.

HD Ready. So you can experience High Definition on our BRAVIA range. BRAVIA U-Series large screen televisions are High Definition (HD) ready. The HD signal will contain nearly five times the information of a conventional signal and bring even more lifelike imagery to your favourite programmes and movies.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) 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 HDMIâ?¢ your BRAVIA LCD TV can be linked to other future HD sources, such as Blu-Ray players, next generation games consoles and HD camcorders.

You get what you pay for
I needed a TV for my daughters bedroom makeover. I very nearly bought a cheaper 32″, strange make, with fair reviews from Ebuyer.

But I didn’t.

I virtually always go for a premium brand, and am a great believer in the phrase Price is forgotten long after quality is remembered.

In the end I found this £100 off, and I was able to use my company discount. Bottom line I Paid £380. So a good price.

I was not expecting the digital free view, so we were delighted to get this as a bonus. Loads of extra channels, and some really good ones, Film4/ Sky news/ music channels plus a raft of others.

Picture quality - from my aerial was crystal clear, its HD ready, but I haven’t used this mode yet.

Wall mounting - easy to do. It didn’t come with a kit, I bought one online from www.av4home.co.uk (£33 including next day delivery).

I had to cut off the moulded plug, and replace with another one, so I could hide the wires away. It comes with a lead, which you cannot detach from the TV, and it is about 1.5m long.

Looks great on the wall, and picture quality is fabulous.

Nice one.

Average TV
I purchased this TV due to competitive price and Sony reputation. I have to say i am dissapointed. The sound is pretty good, and there are good connectivity options: 2 scart and HDMI, and good features such as Freeview and the ability to freeze frame the TV picture, but the picture quality is pretty poor through my aerial and still pathetic when watching SKY. It strangely has a fantastic picture quality when playing my xbox 360 however, as it is HD, and i’ve heard it to be the case that non HD signals appear badly on HD tvs, but i don’t expect this to be the case when paying (at the time) £550.
This is an average TV at best, and it’s well worth paying a bit extra for a much better picture quality

TV Great - Delivery Poor
An excellent TV at a great price, however very unhappy with delivery. Amazon promise
1. e-mail on depatch, didn’t get this!
2. Courier will phone to arrange 4 hour slot, did not phone!
3. Courier will unwrap and check for damage,Didn’t happen!
Unknown to me TV was delivered to a neighbour, no card through my door, so neighbour could have kept it!
I would not order an expensive item again from Amazon. Shame really as they were by far the cheapest and the product is excellent.
