Sony Bravia KDL-46W5500 46in LCD TV

The Sony Bravia KDL-46W5500 ranks among the elite of the LCD TV world.

Given that I loved pretty much everything about the 40V5500's performance apart from its backlight inconsistency, you probably won't be too surprised to hear that the big reduction in this irritation for the 46W5500, together with the addition of a...

Sony Bravia KDL-46W5500 television

Internet TV is here, but is it worth upgrading to? Panasonic and Samsung have already redefined what a HDTV can do with a broadband connection, and their VieraCast and Internet@TV platforms, respectively, are now joined by Sony's effort: AppliCast....

Clarity of HD, sound, four HDMI inputs

Freeview pictures, limited value of AppliCast, USB lacks wide file support

With an excellent performance with high-def and below-par digital TV, the KDL-46W5500 presents something of a conundrum. If you intend to buy a TV of this size and continue watching Freeview and DVDs, buy a plasma - no question about it. But if a diet...

Sony Bravia KDL-46W5500

For a start, it's got plenty going on in the picture processing department, including Sony's latest - and greatest - video processing engine, Bravia Engine 3, as well as Sony's 24p True Cinema mode, Sony's Live Colour engine, and a 100Hz system for...

Generally excellent picture quality, lots of features, good connectivity

The AppliCast online system is a waste of time, standard def skin can look a touch waxy, and it's not particularly cheap

Sony Bravia KDL-46W5500

The Sony Bravia KDL-46W5500 is a 46-inch Full HD LCD telly with 100Hz motion control, a tonne of picture processing features, 24p Cinema mode, eco settings and four HDMI ports. The good LCD tellies have a shelf life comparable to accident-prone...

Sony’s tellies are marching proudly towards a new golden age, matching superb visuals with surprisingly affordable price-tags. Hardly budget priced but a bargain nonetheless. Sony Bravia KDL-46W5500 is tagged with Sony Bravia KDL-46W5500, Sony, LCD and...

Sony KDL-46W5500

The Sony impresses in all areas, although it's the backlight issue that costs the set a valuable star

Sony KDL-46W5500

super image quality esp on the HD formats. Blueray is very impressive. sound quality average but is too be expected of the flat screen tv's. i purchased the RHT G950 for the tv and completed the package. very happy with how it performs.

The LCD screen needed to be replaced after 1 year. lucky that a special offer was available at the time of purchase where a 3 year warrenty was offered free so i had the screen replaced for free.
