General Sony TV Opinions

I have always seen Sony as THE electronics giant. I've always viewed them as the ULTIMATE when it comes to home entertainment; if I saw a Sony TV sitting in somebody's living room then I knew they had style. Over the years, I have learned that Sony aren't the be-all and end-all that I previously thought they were. But when I saw the Sony KDL40V4000 on offer in Comet for £599, all those childish thoughts came flooding back to me and I thought "I could own a Sony!" The 40V4000 itself is a fine looking TV. Not quite as sexy as my previous Samsung TV, but although it looks a bit less 'funky', it retains that Sony class and sophistication that you ...  Read the complete review

... but not always when it comes to televisions! Having enjoyed watching television on a Sony set for 28 years, so last year when the time came to upgrade, I naturally went out and bought another Sony. How disappointing this new TV was! The set I bought was a KV-32LS60 - 32" widescreen, 100Hz. ::: Review of TV ::: Main gripe I had I guess was with poor convergence - the image was bent inwards at both sides at the top of the picture, more noticeable on 4:3 and 14:9 ratios. Also there seemed to be very little beam limiting present - when there were sudden changes in contrast or image is changing from light to dark, then ...  Read the complete review

As a committed Sony buyer for the last 20 years, I have religiously followed and upgraded as the technology advanced. I know of no other manufacturer that manages to combine style and ease of use into their various packages. The system at the moment consists of a 28" WEGA wide screen TV, a pro-logic receiver, five speakers, a DVD player, a minidisc player/recorder and new KLV-810G video recorder. All Sony, all less than three years old. Nothing beats it, sling in a DVD and it knows, the TV clicks into DVD mode, select TV/LD on the receiver, wind up the volume and the room starts to shake as the movie starts. . All this is wonderful and I am very pleased ...  Read the complete review

I have now owned three Sony sets in a row, and they are all still working, although not all at my house! The main virtue of all three has been picture quality, which must rank pretty high in most people's assessment of a TV. My current set, a KV-32DS20 32" set with Dolby Pro-Logic and integrated digital tuner, is the most expensive I have had, and, I have to say, the most fraught, but this is partly down to the quirky nature of terrestrial digital systems. I already have an ONDigital set-top box, so I haven't been too inconvenienced, but imagine my frustration, when I found I was having to retune my Sony set's BBC digital channels ...  Read the complete review

I had the luck to win a Sony FX20 28" widescreen tv a year ago and with it Wega technology I have to say it's a quality product. The picture quality is sharp and really benefits a dvd player. The silver grey colour looks cool and makes it stand out from the rest. It will look good in any living room. The sound quality is also good and althoigh not pro-logic you still get a ambient feel of sound even from TV programmes. Some of the widescreen models come with a very sturdy and easy to put together stand whihch you can stand the tv on and also room for a video and dvd player. The wheels on the bottom make it easy to move. The remote control is quite study and well laid ...  Read the complete review
