Top quality gadget May 7, 2008

I have had this TV for 3 months now and it is great - it comes at a bargain price and has all the performance benchmarks you would expect with a Sony. Where is really excels is when you use an HDMI cable with a PS3 or connect a PC/Laptop through the monitor input - the picture quality is stunning. A throughly good purchase for anyone after an LCD telly.
Fantastic! May 1, 2008

It's coming up to three weeks since this magnificent piece of kit arrived on my doorstep, and I have to say I've loved (almost) every single minute with it. First off, brilliant service from Amazon as ever, not quite so brilliant from City Link but a very helpful depot made up for that. Anyway, on to the TV... br / br /What can I say, it's fabulous. Having seen a lot of 'budget' (no-name) models and been tempted by their apparent value on a variety of occasions, I've got no hesitation saying I won't be tempted again. Why? Because this thing absolutely blows them away. I paid a shade under 540 for this unit, and comparing it to 400 no-name units of the same size is like comparing night and day, the difference is simply enormous. Likewise, making the jump from my flatmate's slightly battered old CRT is beyond words. br / br /Picture-wise, I can't fault it. Comparing it to my parents' 26" previous-generation S-series model, this is at least a match if not better - colours are lifelike, lines are sharp, blacks are deep, etc. Freeview reception is great (though rarely used) and standard definition Sky looks pretty razor-sharp when hooked up with a decent SCART cable (I used a Thor model, also from Amazon; stick B0009E66SW in the search bar). In fact, it really took me by surprise; I was expecting the odd bit of pixelation, but there's none to be found. br / br /Audio-wise, it's standard TV fare; it won't win any awards, but you won't be complaining. I don't really get on with the simulated Dolby, but I can't really fault the BBE ViVA setting. br / br /Input-wise, it's almost all happy days. There's a good selection, and none have disappointed so far (though I haven't used the S-video as yet) bar the VGA port. Generally, it's fine, no quality issues, but it's limited to a resolution of 1280x768. Of course, that's enough to run 720p content at native resolution, but it's not the native resolution of the panel (1360x768) so you do have to stretch the image (via the good OSD) if you want it to fill the screen. Having said that, I'm not entirely sure how but it stretches it perfectly (no typical LCD scaling signatures), although I would like the extra 80 pixels. Of course, most people won't even touch the VGA input, so it's not likely to be a problem (if you can class it as one anyway). br / br /Looks-wise, I like it. It can look a bit 'silver' in bright natural light, but in electric light, and particularly in slightly dimmed conditions, it's stunning. I personally can't stand Samsung's shiny-shiny look, so if you're the same, and looking at the image of this model on your screen going 'that looks OK, nice and simple', you'll love it. Basically, it ain't going to go out of fashion and, when I'm buying a fairly big TV, that's what I want. br / br /In terms of the size of the thing, it really depends on your room. Go to a store to compare sizes; you wouldn't think there was much difference between a 32" and a 37", but when you see them side by side they're worlds apart. However, don't forget that whatever you buy will look a huge amount bigger once you get it in your living room! We simply could not believe the size of the thing when we got it out of the box (which was surprisingly easy, it's pretty light). br / br /Am I pleased with my latest purchase? I don't think I can express in words how happy I am I took the plunge and chucked 540 at something I didn't really need. Every time I look at it, I'm pleased. It's a fantastic product at a brilliant price. Yes, there are cheaper models from different manufacturers, but I'm yet to see a single bad review of this from any customer, and that speaks for itself as far as I'm concerned. If you're in the market for a 37" TV and want quality but don't want to spend a fortune, click that button up there which says 'Add to basket'. You will not regret it.
I love Sony Bravia April 30, 2008

Wow what can I say, br / br /Ordered TV on Saturday and was delivered Tuesday morning as promised (owing to no dispatch on Sunday). br / br /Stand takes about 2 minutes to set up. TV auto-tunes in about 2 minutes also. The TV looks great, nice classic sophisticated look, and the 37" is a very good size, like having a cinema in my room. br / br /The quality of the Bravia engine's imaging is astounding. Watched a bbc wildlife documentary last night and the colours of the tigers and vegitation were unbelievable (I have backlight, colour, and contrast all cranked up to 100%). It looked very clear, smooth, and with no judder, considering it was Freeview in a bad signal area. Noise reduction-high really helps improve your signal, and the built-in receiver is much stronger than my external Philips box was. br / br /Have my PS3 hooked up via a 30 HDMI cable and the image is stunning, hi-def, great colours, smooth. Of course the PS3 has a built-in blu-ray player and these look simply stunning, although you have to play around with your visual settings to get the best image. The remote is a good remote unlike with some other makes. br / br /Sound quallity is very good considering the size of the 2 built-in speakers. The Viva BBE is my mode of choice, with powerful detailed sounds. I have a powerful sound system which I have not bothered hooking up to this TV. br / br /I have had this TV for a day and am very pleased so far. I can't believe how amazon can sell this tv for 525, as it is actually worth 750. Sony Centre couldn't believe it either. the 32" version got a 5-star rating from march's what hi-fi?, beating other brands such as Panasonic. This is the same TV but a much better size, including all the same Bravia technology. If you are looking for an 'entry level' (this is anything but entry level in comparison to cheaper makes, but is not 1080p) 37" TV, look no further, this TV excels in every department and will not disappoint you. Great buy. br /
 Perfect Budget HD TV April 29, 2008

After spending a couple of weeks making myself dizzy reading reviews I decided this was probably the best balance of performance and price. br /Set itself up in minutes and the tv quality on digital and analogue is very good (although did get a new aerial recently and this does help). br /Got the panasonic blu ray player at the same time, which came with cars and ratatouille and it happily supports 1080i (so shiny) but if you want full 1080p support then this is not the one for you (that said I really don't see how they can improve what is a fantastic image.) br /Linked up a Wii with a hi def cable, definitely a good idea, the sharper image on the internet and in games with muddier palettes like resident evil 4 makes all the difference. br /All in all worth every penny, I could have spent more but I wanted a useable TV and all the bits that make purchasing it worthwhile. br /
Excellent Service!! April 25, 2008
