This model comes with the ability to control the brightness of the picture to suit a room. Forget it! No matter what settings you use or if you have the latest firmware update, if your picture become dark or moody, the Bravia instantly lowers the...

Got this as we already have a bravia which is great. This one has a good picture, sound etc. but takes ages to come on & the guide takes ages to do anything, so long that you think perhaps you didn't press the button - don't press it again or the set...

I've been using this tv now for quite a while , and I'm still taken aback by the outstanding picture quality. I just find myself thinking , 'that is an incredible picture'. It actually seems to have depth , and I don't understand how they manage to do...

Available for around £650 online, Sony's latest 37-inch LCD TV is part of its brand new line-up of Bravias for 2009. So why does it look like last year's tech? LCD TV technology has moved on from 2008, when blur, poor contrast and limited viewing...
Easy-to-use interface, Full HD resolution, simple remote control
Poor contrast, visible blur, noisy Freeview pictures
The KDL-37S5500 is not a bad television, but there are others out there that offer better value for money
But on the KDL-37S5500 it’s almost as if time hasn’t moved on at all. Not that this nicely designed - though chubby - LCD TV doesn’t compare well with Sony’s entry-level TVs from 12 months ago. It does. For a similar price another HDMI input has been...

It looks like a bargain, but what kind of 40in Full HD TV does £590 get you these days?
Despite the harsh tone of much of this review, if considered purely in the context of other £500-£550 40-42in TVs, the 40S5500 isn't an unmitigated disaster. It's just hugely average. Its backlight issues are a massive problem for any discerning film...
Thus the 40S5500 isn't the bargain it first appears.

Many people will probably be overjoyed at the prospect of being able to get a decent-sized Sony Bravia TV for £600. Before you get too excited, though, you should know that the KDL-37S5500 comes with some pretty major performance strings attached
Exceptionally affordable for a Sony Bravia TV ; Reasonably well built ; Bright and colourful pictures
Black levels aren't great ; Some motion blur at times ; Pretty feeble audio
Conclusion Sadly, the Bravia KDL-37S5500 isn't the answer to cash-strapped Sony fans' prayers. It's not an unmitigated disaster, but its performance falls so far short of that of Sony's V5500 range that you'd be well advised to spend an extra £100 or...

With its KDL-37S5500 LCD TV, Sony proves it can get down and dirty with the entry-level efforts of its rivals.
To some extent, the 37S5500 is another successful Sony LCD TV. While it's certainly got its fair share of performance flaws, it's still better than the entry-level efforts of many rival brands.

Sony's latest foray into the 26in screen market might be accomplished in some areas, but it's not the best in its class
Good detail and motion tracking ; clean and well balanced pictures
Pictures lack some depth ; menu irritates ; can't handle 1080p

This is good value, but if stretch your budget slightly you can catch yourself a class-leader from the same stable
Good value ; awesome colour balance ; confident with Blu-ray and DVD pictures
Noisy Freeview pictures ; not the final word in clarity and detail ; sound not great
By (whathifi.com)
Great budget TV, but you can get a superior performance for not much more money
A detailed, balanced and vibrant picture for the money ; usual Sony usability ; decent sound ; very good motion without processing
None of the hi-tech frills

For a product where you would imagine cost cutting is key, the S5500 certainly doesnÂ't look cheap. The bezel is robust with a solid build quality and instead of the usual black gloss; the frame has a matte style dark grey finish. There may be a lack...
Average
Also included in the box is a table mount stand that gives the set its finishing touch

A good entry into HD TV for the first-time buyer
The KDL-37S5500 does have its rough edges, and it's by no means the cheapest 37in Full HD set on the market. However, it's a solid entry-level set that provides a good set of features and the image quality and build quality that you'd expect from a...
Home cinema buffs might prefer something a little more up-market, but the KDL-37S5500 is a good choice for the ordinary Joe who simply wants a good quality HD TV for less than a grand.

The Sony KDL26S550 is a 26-inch, HD-ready LCD screen with three HDMI ports round the back. It has a 1366x768 resolution, a 24p True Cinema & Theatre mode, a contrast ratio of 33,000:1 and plenty of connections, including: PC connectivity, 1x component,...
Squeeze one of Sony’s luscious 768-pixel panels down to just 26 inches and the close-up detail is pin-sharp. But bear in mind that to get the full befefit of HD on this 26-incher, you'll need a viewing position that's quite close to the set ; Triple...
The Bravia isn't as cheap as many 26-inchers, especially as you’ll need to shell out a few more for a good HDMI cable. Otherwise, pretty much a perfect backup television
It might be expensive, but think of the 26S5500 as an investment in your visual future and this colourful gaming telly suddenly doesn’t seem so pricey. Highly recommended.
