Sony BDV-N590 Review

 

Massive spec, yet micro-priced: the Sony is quite simply the biggest bargain in home cinema

Sony BDV-N590 review – introSony has thought of pretty much everything with the BDV-N590. Style and substance combine with some clever usability features to make a staggeringly compelling product for

Sony BDV-N590

 

Best cinema system, Awards 2012. Looks and sounds every bit the all-in-one answer to home cinema on a budget

Compact design, looks smart ; 3D, wireless, iPlayer, on-demand movies ; easily wall-mountable rear speakers ; detailed, cohesive sound ; great pictures

Given everything it does and the price, we’re struggling to find fault

Having recently taken a good look at the latest selection of home cinema all-in-one systems from the big players such as LG, Philips and Samsung, this Sony system scores an instant hit as an ultra-competitive product.

Great Sound And Pictures - Terrible Interface

 

I bought this to go with my Sony KDL-40EX653 with a view to creating an integrated easy to use home cinema package. The picture and the sound are most impressive in a medium sized front room, but there are several annoyances. The unit is very stylish...

Very impressive for the money!

 

I bought this to replace my LG surround sound and have to say i'm very impressed. No wonder What Hi-Fi gave it five stars. It was very easy to set up, managed it in about an hour including drilling holes to mount the speakers (to correct a previous...

So dissapointed

 

There are plenty of positive reviews for this product, it's a good looking system that's ill conceived and poorly designed. I purchased this a replacement for my existing Sony Home cinema system, I had real reservations over the ski ramp styling...

Strong multi-functional system

 

This 3D Blu-Ray surround sound system is one of the new releases for 2012 from Sony. In the revised product line it's the second highest-spec system with only the Sony BDV-N 790 W above it. Essentially the two systems are the same with the exception...

Consumer review by:

Easy set up .......not!

 

I won't go into all the specifications of this system as the first reviewer does this very well (although revised slightly by the third reviewer) This is not our first Surround Sound system but is much more stylish than the last. Having said that the...

True home cinema sound

 

The 590 offers a vast dynamic sound that truly turns your living room into a cinema. The system is extremely easy to setup and configure, in fact configuration is done automatically and very quickly giving you the best possible sound for where you'll...

Just add popcorn

 

Straight from the heavy and well packed box bedecked with every logo going this system oozes class and quality. The Blu-Ray player is a real looker and although not quite B&O cutting edge it does impress in a stretched PS3 kind of way and makes a...

Sound and Picture Quality is Awesome!

 

I mainly got this for audio quality so I'll limit my review mainly to PQ and sound quality. The other review has some errors, the 4 surround speakers are 125W, centre speaker is 250W, Subwoofer is 250W so totalling 1000W. The speakers can be wall...
