Requested a replacement from amazon as I still believe it is an excellent model. I can't beleive sony h...

Sony's TV are always excellent.
I recently brought this from Amazon. I thought Costco would be cheaper, but was pleasantly surprised that it was cheaper on amazon. The TV is brilliant. It also has DLNA, though I haven't used it. But, even if you cant get your ethernet, one can plug devolvo's plug in internet and apparently it will work. The only drawback is that Sony doesn't have a motorised bracket for its TV. I am Sony fan and all my gadgets including alarm clock and mobile phone ar sony.

Fantastic TV
Ordered TV on Sunday and arrived on Weds morning. Excellent delivery service from Amazon. Well what can I say about the TV other than it's absolutely amazing. Love the picture quality through Freeview (better than my Virgin Cable?!?!) - great watching Wimbledon at the moment. PS3 games and blu ray are stunning and upscaling DVDs is great. My two children love it. The missus was dead against buying this size and type of TV...but not now, even she has fallen in love with it!! Would recommend t...

This is a sweet TV !
Ordered this late last Tuesday and it arrived Thursday morning, good work Amazon as usual ^_^No clouding issues visible at all, spent a while playing with the setings and it all looks sweet as a nut. Playing PS3 games on it is astounding, Blueray films and upscaled normal DVDs are also amazing with good colours and contrast, the black levels are also very good. Haven't gone for Sky HD yet so am only watching SD TV on it but even this is far better than I expected.If you're considering buyi...

Sony KDL-40W5500
I bought this TV having missed out on the W4500 Sony TV and I'm glad I did. The W5500 is a far better unit to the W4500 primarily because of the menu and setup features. I'm not massivly 'in to' my AV equipment but the W5500 ticked all the boxed for me: reasonably priced, works very well on SD TV inputs, excellent HD representation, minimal bleeding, etc. One thing I don't like about the TV is the use of Guide Plus which is beyond useless when it comes to EPGs, luckily the W5500 also comes with ...

Excellent service
Ordered on the Sunday and arrived on the Tuesday. Excellent service as usual from Amazon. This is my first flat screen TV and initial impressions are very favourable.I do however have to agree with an earlier reviewer about the Sony manual. Surprisingly there is absolutely no mention of how to connect the power cable to the set and I have to say it is not obvious. I eventually had to track down that particular review online in order to find out where it connected ie in the side of the ...

Simply the best!
I bought this TV after much checking reviews and prices, but not from Amazon. I have to say i'm very pleased with the TV it was a reasonable price and is a joy to watch. This is my first LCD TV and i've had it 3 days now and cannot see any problems with clouding or the picture quality, I didnt even have to change any of the settings.PS3 looks amazing and was very easy to connect my Sony DVD recorder to via HDMI cables. I don't have surround sound and just from the TV speakers the sound is ...

Sony Bravia 40 inch HD TV KDL40W5500U 100 Hz
Review updated after arrival of SKY+ HD box. I have now connected an HD source. Namely a SKY + HD box which took 2 months to order!Resolution on SKY+ is 1080i maximum. And it looks great! I was a bit surprised that the TV does not auto detect the HDMI input when the Sky box is turned on - not sure if that is possible anyway.Original review continues...Otherwise its exactly what I expected. I have not seen any of the reported backlight bleed on dark scenes. Display of standar...

Not perfect but still massively entertaining
I've had this TV for about 6 weeks now and this was my first foray into LCD or HD TV following 2 months of research. I've outlined my conclusions below:STANDARD DEFINITION TVThe SD picture is generally great but really depends on the channel and the program itself, the main first 5 channels tend to look the best, and from just over 3 metres away hardly any noise is evident in the picture (providing you have found the correct picture settings) To rate the picture quality, if SD was a 5 a...

sony 40 inch lcd tv 40w55oou
may i first say we are so impressed with the speed of delivery of our new sony tv from amazon. After much research i persuaded my husband to pay the extra to buy it, and it was well worth it!! On first viewing the picture was not as impressive as i was expecting after reading all the other great reviews, but after spending about 15 mins fine tuning the factory settings the picture is now excellent. I would say take the time to do this and you will not be dissapointed. We are now looking to buy ...
