5 out of 5 stars So quick and easy to set up - Brilliant!   August 25, 2008

We don't often replace our televisions - they seem to last, but, in the past, every one has been bought with the knowledge that it would take at least half a day to set up. So with trepidation we ordered the Sony from Amazon. We needn't have worried, our new television was delivered almost the next day and took about 2 minutes to set itself up. All you have to do is plug it in and wait for it to do it's thing. Brilliant. br / br /The controls are very easy to use, the drop-down menus very helpful and the picture is superb. We couldn't be more pleased and would recommend this to everyone... and a friend said the picture was better than his Panasonic, despite the fact that he lives in London and that our reception can be a bit erratic. Well done, Sony

Its the first time i have ordered any thing with Amazon, so i was a little nervous. Did i need to worry?, No, everything went like a dream. tv came with in three days and with no damage which was one of my concerns. The tv it's self is great!, the best tv i have ever owned! The picture is very good and my playstation 3 looks so crisp. The sound on this sony is also very good, You can turn the base up or down to suit your needs and also the treble which was nice. It took me only six minuets to set up the free view, as it did it all for me...great! Over all, i was pleased with Amazon, pleased with the tv and pleased with the price. YA HOO!


5 out of 5 stars Sony Bravia 26" Digital TV   August 12, 2008

After reading various reviews, I ordered this TV on Sunday by free delivery and received it on the following Friday. Setting it up was a doddle (I am a pensioner). It was recommended to me by my son who had just purchased the same TV. I have a Video and DVD Player from Sony already and am impressed with the quality of their products. The TV replaced a 14" analogue set in the bedroom and I had been looking at various TV's, bearing in mind the digital switch over in my area next year. I am really impressed with the digital reception. I had been told I would need a new aerial to receive digital (I have an indoor aerial)but reception is exceptional. The price was very competitive considering the quality of Sony TV's. I am now thinking of replacing my Mitsubishi 22 year old set in the living room with a similar product. I would recommend this TV to anyone who struggles with new technology. My daughter is now thinking of buying the same set. I am now enjoying the Olympics in style!

As a first time buyer of an LCD TV, I would say I was satisfied with every aspect of the Sony, except - the picture. It's sharp, as long as nothing moves; hue and tone are subtly handled, as long as there's nothing subtle, moderately light, dark - or moving; and easy to adjust settings for TV/DVD/Console viewing, as long as you don't mind sitting for ten minutes without making any satisfactory difference. Colour streaking is most noticeable watching films. Watching a Will Smith close-up in any semi-dark 'I am Legend' scene was memorably indistinct. Similarly the posterization or stepping of tones in any remotely dark scene can be very bad. Very. br /Easily the worst Sony product I ever bought. br / br /If you plan to buy one of these, at the very least make sure you have an HD source of some kind, throw away your Gamecube or any other consoles designed for CRTs and pay less than 413.88. I didn't and now look at me. br / br /

I have long been a great fan of Sony products, and the SonyKDL26S3000 br /Bravia HD Ready TV has confirmed my believe in Sony. I have had this br /TV only a few days and feel sure that it would be impossible to better this product for sound, style and picture quality. As for the delivery service it is a similar story. This television was ordered Friday 9.30am br /I paid a little extra for express delivery. All I can say is that its a good job I like to be up and about in a morning, as City Link were at my door at 9.45am Saturday, 24hours from ordering to delivering. EXCELLENT!
