Sony Quality May 28, 2008
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
As usual Sony deliver a high quality television that delivers excellence and is built to last!!
The television was delivered very efficiently by 'Amazon'(10/10 for service...thank you!) and was out of the box and (using auto set up) i was watching within minutes. This 20" model is perfect size for a dining room, Kitchen or Bedroom and small living rooms and can be used free standing or wall mounted.
I think most people know that you pay a little bit more for Sony products but they ARE a class apart in picture and sound quality and while other manufacturers i.e.'Samsung' have made in-roads into more cosmetically pleasing designs, they do not deliver the same picture or sound quality or the product life span....FACT!!
I would recommend SONY every time and the proof comes from the reviews that you will see listed on this and other models within the Bravia range.
Superb TV Super service from Amazon May 25, 2008
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
Ordered the Sony Bravia on the Wednesday evening and it arrived at 11:00am on the Saturday and this was using the Super Saver Delivery. Superb service from Amazon. We needed to replace a Sony 19" CRT TV and decided on this model. As for the TV itself the picture and colours are faultless. Even rubbish programs look good on this TV! The sound is excellent as well. The 20" model is ideal as a bedroom TV which is where we are using it. The TV took minutes to set up; auto tuned all of the digital channels. It is a superb product from Sony. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
Sony - Just Stunning May 10, 2008
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
I had been looking at a number of flatscreen Tv's and was looking at Toshiba, Hitachi, Phillips and Samsung and boy was I glad I read the reviews here. I popped along to a few electrical retailers to view a number of the above and the Sony is the clear winner in build quality and performance. It may be a few quid more expensive than it's equivalent rivals but do not be put off by that.
It was an absolute dawdle to set up and the picture quality is truly amazing. So if you are looking for a medium sized flat screen don't even bother with any other brand, you will ultimately be disappointed for the sake of a few pound more.
Nice little TV May 8, 2008
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
A nice little TV for secondary use (e.g. bedroom, study), it has a whole load of connections (2xRGB SCART, Component, Composite, 1xHDMI, PC VGA) that should suit most applications. It also has a coaxial link for receiving terrestrial TV, Freeview, and a card slot for Top-Up TV. I currently have mine set up with an AV sender hooked up to one of the SCART sockets, and a Wii hooked up via component. (It's worth noting that one of the SCART sockets is Smartlink compatible, for connecting up to other Sony video products.)
As with other Sony products, the manual is clear, and well presented - although if you're fairly gadget-savvy, it should be pretty easy to set the TV up without it. The on-screen menu is pretty straightforward, you can adjust the picture and audio to your heart's content. The sound effects are worth experimenting with, although don't expect the full cinematic experience from the onboard speakers, which are quite decent for a TV set this size (they're actually better than those on my 32" LCD TV, not a Sony I hasten to add...)
The quality of the casing is solid, if a little bit plasticky, and you have manual controls on the top of the set. I was surprised at how thick this TV is, but it has VESA spaced holes on the back if you wish to hang it off a VESA-compatible wall bracket (you can remove the stand that is attached). You can tilt the vertical angle of the screen if using the stand, but it's a little bit stiff - I wasn't sure it would move at first.
As another reviewer mentioned, depending upon the angle at which you view the screen, the image can appear darker in some positions, so it's worth getting it set up correctly. The image quality is good for a screen this size - DVDs play clearly, and TV images are good if not exceptional.
All in all, there are few LCD TVs in this size that have this many features for this kind of price (the Amazon price is decent, although I got mine for a bit less elsewhere).
Excellent TV from Sony April 4, 2008

We bought this TV for the bedroom after squinting at a Sharp Aquos 15" for months (not a bad TV but a little small and no Freeview), we decided to move the little TV to the study and buy this Sony Bravia 20" for the bedroom.
Setup is a breeze (both analogue and freeview are done automatically) with only a little reorganising of the analogue channel order needed, which was also easily done via the channel setup screen.
Connections were easy, the stand is Ok (removable for wall mounting), handset is good.
The picture quality is generally very good for broadcast channels, but not quite as good as the Panasonic 26" we bought for the family/games consoles room, which is quite exceptional. However, the Panasonic was twice the price, so that's an unfair comparison. The Sony's colour balance is spot on, with no hue or tinting as can be observered on other sets. Maybe the colours are slightly too vibrant straight out of the box - just a little adjustment-to-taste is all that's required, which is true of every TV we've ever had.
Overall this has to be the best 20" TV currently out there for anywhere near this price - buy one!
