 I Like!..It!!! September 27, 2008
Having watched my 32" Technika LCD bite the dust. One month after the guarantee(12months) was up! ie "No Picture". I wen't looking for another TV and having read the reviews on Amazon for this set, (although a smaller screen) and having looked at it in a local shop for 130 more!. I decided this was the one for me!. Easy to setup! "great" picture "good price" and!! hopefully last longer than 13months. I ordered from Amazon on the free delivery but! decided that evening to change to express delivery and my TV was up and running 2 days later. Well worth paying the extra. This! is a fine television at a "Good" price, you could'nt ask for more.

I have just bought this tv to replace my old Samsung and the difference in quality is amazing,in fact it takes a little while to get used to the clarity on the Sony it is so good and an absolute bargain at the price (I shopped around the local stores and could not find one for less than 500)It is very simple to set up and the sound quality is very good, what more can I say treat yourself to this bargain while they are still in stock, happy viewing

1. Amazon incredibly fast delivery - 1.5 days to arrive.
2. Opened the box and this TV isn't as 'slim-line' as a lot of LCDs. (But only a few cm difference)
3. I was a bit scared there was no ariel socket! There is, it's just well hidden.
4. Watching TV & DVD - Excellent quality picture and sound.
5. The Remote - Super fast response time when pressing volume/channels/menu buttons etc compared to other TVs.
6. Setting up PS3: Took me a few attempts, but after disconnecting and reconnecting the HDMI cable (tried it in both slots) it eventually worked. AND the picture quality is AMAZING for PS3. I had my PS3 hooked up to an LG LCD TV and this one surpasses the quality tenfold.
All in all: 9/10
brilliant (and a bargain!) September 18, 2008
I bought this TV 3 days ago and it arrived today. Brilliant TV - great picture and a snip for only 350 - this is the cheapest price by far I could find on the net for this great TV. And I got free P&P - even better. Based on my experience, i would advise anyone wishing to but a TV to buy it from Amazon.co.uk and not even bother looking in the shops or elsewhere on the net! (I'm not sponsored by Amazon!) If you want to know technical stuff then read the rewiew by Mr Pritchard - he seems to know what he's talking about!
 HDMI Problems with Sony 26" September 10, 2008
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
Having read the other reviews here on Amazon, i decided on the Sony KDL26S3000 as the best bet for a wall mounted TV in our kitchen.
The plan was to run it on the HDMI output of our SKY HD box from the lounge via a HDMI distribution system in the loft (consisting of a HDMI splitter and 4 HDMI cable runs to different rooms).
Unfortunately, the Sony could not hold down a proper picture from the HDMI cable at all.. it seemed to be continually scanning but only occasionally locking onto a picture, before losing it again.
Because i have a few other TVs (Pioneer plasma, and Toshiba LCD) to test with, i was able to isolate the problem to the Sony implementation of HDMI interface on this TV. It may well be fine on a much shorter run HDMI cable, but is definitely more fussy than some other manufacturers' technology.
It was sent straight back and i bought the Toshiba 26" lcd (Toshiba 26AV505D), which works perfectly on the same cable setup.
In terms of the Sony, it was fine for freeview (with quick channel change and nice EPG guide) but not fit for my purposes. I thought i would add this review for any buyers who are particularly interested in the HDMI input, possibly on a long cable run, or via a splitter or coupler like me.
