Bought this TV a few months back as a second TV that I could hook my Xbox 360 up to, and I've been highly impressed. br /The TV looks discreet and stylish even when switched off. The remote control is robust and well laid out (as I tend to find with all Sony products). The menu system is fairly easy to understand and navigate. br /There are plenty of connectivity options round the back, and when my Xbox is plugged in it runs in 1080p resolution and the picture is superb. br /I find the freeview picture is quite poor (grainy, with compression artefacts), but I believe this is intrinsic to watching freeview on an HD TV and not a fault with the TV itself. br /Best of all the set was priced at 399 when I bought it, so it was a bargain at that price. br /Overall I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this set.


4 out of 5 stars A decent LCD (if obtained at the right price!)   January 30, 2008

I've been 'spoilt' with the Sony KDL32D3000 (our main television) and wanted a similar, smaller one for the bedroom so I could oust the bulky CRT television. Unfortunately Sony do not make a 26inch 'D' series so, taking the numerous reviews into account, I settled for the 26S3000 from the limited choice available. br / br /If I hadn't been able to compare it to my 'D' series Sony I probably would have given it five stars. It's just that I can notice the difference in the picture quality with standard definition television reception and miss the additional menu features. Don't get me wrong, it's still impressive, probably better than most and I'm perfectly happy with it - for the bedroom certainly. It's just that the 'D' series set leaves an awful lot to live up to and I would have begrudged some of the prices asked for this one.

Bought one of these and, again, saved 150 compared to John Lewis or Comet. Paying an extra 10 meant that it was delivered the next morning. Great service, good set.

Bought the TV before Christmas as I needed a HD TV for my bedroom for my new PS3. br / br /Works a charm, could have not got better service. br / br /Easy to set up, Automatically got all the channels from the built-in FreeView in 5 Minutes, Paid an extra 10er or so for next day delivery, and when I came home, it was there, Fantastic! br / br /Its a great TV for the PS3, Get it if amazon have it in stock, Under 400 quid for a Sony 26" HD TV, not bad!, Although looks like Amazon are out of stock at the minute.
