Sony KDL-26S5500

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

Sony KDL26S550

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,...

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. Sony KDL26S550 is tagged with Sony, LCD and TV. Select a tag (Sony, for example)...

Sony KDL-26S5500

We are not great technophobes so as far as we are concerned this Sony is great. Good picture, easy to use and looks great'. It is a really good price and as we trust Sony we could not have wanted a better product.

None so far

Easy to put together.

Design bypass. Only bought as it was specifically requested as a Brand name.

Sony KDL-26S5500

Mid-size TV which is not intrusive. Very good quality picture for DVD and especially Blue-Ray. Analogue picture good. Good connectivity for auxiliary hardware.

Not as well designed as it's big brothers. The Freeview Programme Guide is just too basic. There is no ability to set a timer for future programmes in the Programme Guide; this makes it more of an occasional use TV. Very slow to respond from start-up...
