 Excellent June 27, 2007

Just installed it in the small bedroom - wall mounted. Plenty big enough (I was a little concerned about the screen size before it arrived - but it would be fine in the main bedroom to be honest), the freeview channels are very clear for an LCD and very quick changing channels. The remote is clear and easy to use - plenty of useful options available.
Loads of connections - I've got the Xbox360 running through component 1080i, PC connected to the VGA port and 2 scart free - refreshing!
Bottom line it's a fantasic set - cheap, light for the wall mount and the freeview EPG is great, really pleased I went for it...

This is an astonishingly good piece of kit. The quality of sound and picture via an aerial is exceptional but if you want to experience the quintessence of excellence hook it up to a player with an HDMI connection and watch a DVD or listen to a CD. It is expensive in comparison to other LCD sets of the same size but its worth paying a bit extra for an exquisite performance.

I bought this TV earlier this month to replace my Samsung 19" LCD TV (with which I was not at all impressed.) What can I say? Absolutely excellent. It's a nice sized screen - perfect for the bedroom or a large kitchen.
The picture quality is outstanding - everything is very crisp and clear and the sound is a LOT better than the Samsung's. I only have to have it turned up to about 35/100 for clearly audible sound from analogue/digital TV. An added bonus is that it has a feature where you can boost the volume level on the AV inputs, so it can compensate for low volume DVDs, for instance. With the boost feature on max. I only have to nudge the sound up to 40/100 to get a good volume level from most DVDs (compare that to the Samsung, which needed about 90/100 for DVDs).
This TV also has a power saving mode which I've enabled because it doesn't take much away from the picture quality at all. In fact, I prefer it with it enabled because it is less bright and quite comfortable to look at, whilst still giving excellent pictures.
In terms of connectivity, this is probably one of the best on the market for this range of TV. On most 20" TVs, there's only one SCART socket and not a chance of HDMI. Well, this TV is loaded. Not only does it have TWO SCART sockets, it also has HDMI, amongst other things!
I'm also glad that this TV has a digital tuner (i.e. in-built Freeview). Let's face it, with the analogue switch-off so near I don't see the point in buying an analogue-only TV anymore. Come 2009-2012 (depending on your region), you're going to have to get a Freeview receiver (which adds more cables and takes up a lot of space) or buy a new digital TV. This one has both analogue and digital, so it is completely ready. I'm also in a low signal area and the tuner is very sensitive, so it displays the digital picture more readily than my old Freeview receiver did.
All in all, I can't find one thing wrong with this piece of kit...and believe me, I've tried. I was completely dissatisfied with the Samsung rubbish and it made me think I was going to suffer problems with this one from Sony. However, I've been completely blown away. Probably the best £400 I've ever spent.

Ordered On The Tuesday Evening, Arrived On The Thursday Morning, Top Marks Amazon.
As you would expect from Sony, this TV is great, took seconds to connect the 2 scarts and VGA Port to Pc, And with the Automatic Tuning it does everything itself, within a minute you are watching the TV.
I would fully recommend this product and Amazon where the cheapest retailer selling this TV.

Good picture quality, decent sound, lots of connectivity options, including HDMI, plus inbuilt Freeview tuner; everything you could wish for in a small TV. Also, and importantly, considering it's likely to live in bedrooms and kitchens mostly, it has nice clean lines and the design is less obtrusive than most sets. (It helps that the model is available in silver, black or white, so you can choose what will work with the intended location.)
As others have mentioned, the sound quality especially is markedly better than most sets of this size - a real plus when listening to digital radio stations via the Freeview.
Yes, it costs a bit more than some, but worth the extra. Heartily recommend.
