Sony KDL-32EX40B Review – 32-inch LCD HDTV

 

Though Sony is not the only manufacturer to include an integrated Blu-ray disc player, it would definitely attract buyers with its brand name. Sony presented its 3D ready HDTV with such humdrums that it literally didn't pay attention to the low-end...

Full HD 1080p resolution also ensures sharper and more vibrant images. Also it reduces visual noise and enhances color details. Though one can find almost all the features of a regular Bravia HDTV, Sony KDL-32EX40B is a step ahead from those. And for...

Sony KDL-40EX40B Review – 40-inch LCD HDTV

 

Sony gets quite a few eyeballs moving with its new series that comes with an in built Blu-ray player. Sony KDL-40EX40B boasts of being a two-in-one device. It is great news for those who do not own a Blu-ray disc Player. Though if you buy a Bravia TV...

Perfect bedroom TV

 

For the price, a great set for the bedroom or small family-room. HDMI, 1080p and built in blu-ray make for a very good value, especially when on sale. Internet content looks great (Netflix, Hulu Plus, Podcasts, Youtube, etc...) Myself and my parents...

1080p nice picture with all the same adjustments as the bigger more expensive models, light sensor, lots of input options and network connectivity with blu-ray to boot

Wi-Fi connectivity requires expensive "proprietary" USB dongle. Small system stability problem
