Very Pleased

I've had this TV for over a year and am still pleased with my purchase. DVD's look amazing on it even with simple AV cables. The speakers (only 4w a piece) leave a little to be desired but after hooking my stereo up to it I've had no other issues. ...

Best LCD I've ever seen...

Great picture. Zero distortion. Nice to look at even when turned off.

No HDMI. Only one component input. Sound system is just so-so.

Best LCD I've ever seen...

I did all the research, did all the legwork, ran from here to there and everywhere and ended up buying a 23" Bravia. It was good, but it was way too small for our den. I returned it to Best Buy and got a refund 'cause they were out of anything else in...

Don't buy TV from OneCall!!!

This is a pretty good TV, my friend has one. I purchased this tv and have had nothing but problems getting the TV to me. They gave me a big run a round and wanted to charge me an extra $100 for shipping. (...) Amazon.com has nothing to do with it...

Great

This was a big purchase for us. I'm a tech guy, so I did a considerable amount of research on the internet and went to local electronics stores to evaluate picture quality. My wife and I liked the quality of the Sony best, but it was slightly out of...

Sony KLV-26HG2

This being a Sony television, you get proprietary connections alongside the usual Scarts and component inputs. Here, you'll find a Memory Stick port for slotting in Sony's solid state media, to view photos, listen to music or watch short movies. It's...

The best LCD picture ever, Nice design

Premium price, Lack of PC input

Go up to high def material and the result is even more pronounced, offering a complete lack of artefacts and the sort of colour we've only previously seen on CRT sets. In particular, skin tones looked as natural as is possible, and there was none of...

Sony KDL-26EX320

A great and surprisingly affordable way of streaming video and the Internet to a second room, though it comes with a few performance issues.

Excellent online services ; Good multimedia support ; Good black level response

Pictures not very bright ; Onscreen menus are complicated ; Sound quality uninspiring

If you’re after a second room screen that can unlock multimedia from your PC pretty much effortlessly as well as giving you access to a good amount of on-demand video content, then the 26EX320 is almost uniquely qualified for the job - unless you spend...

Sony KLV-26HG2 review

Perfect for the bedroom, this 26-inch LCD boasts Sony's peerless Wega Engine and has a nice collection of AV inputs. Given its size, it's a shame there's no PC input, but it'll look great on your wall and it's very easy to use

Style ; Wega Engine picture quality ; Ease of use

No PC input ; Not high-definition compatible ; Limited Memory Stick functionality

The sound is slightly weak, and unlike the bigger Sony TVs we've had in recently, there's no input to turn the TV speakers into one centre channel (when using a home cinema system). It's fine for everyday use -- vocals are clear -- but you might want...
