Right Down to business, Some background
All my home entertainment
equipment is generally Sony that includes, DVD players, Hifi, Speakers, Home
theatres, Televisions ETC..
with Sony I find their Products to be of a High
Quality, Good looking and jammed packed with more features than you could shake
a stick at. (even if the customer service is pretty crappy) topical! this is
about a Television.....I must remember that and keep calm.........Lousy
incompetants!
Back to the Television,
I wanted to replace the 40" HD
Sony LCD TV I already had, again great tv, excellent 1920 x 1080
picture
however it was only 60hz, 450Watt PSU (fairly power hungry), 2 x HDMI
etc etc.... but as everything is HDMI now I had to buy a HDMI adaptor for the
set giving it more ports and this option was fairly expensive and takes up
another power socket. Other influences on the decision to upgrade was the fact
That I already owned the Sony BDP570 3D Bluray Player and the
PS3.

Installation
After getting it home and unpacking the TV, the
phyisical installation was not a problem due to the TV's weight and dimensions.
I Instantly noticed the weight differential when I tried to move the 40" LCD
that was being replaced I forgot that thing weighed a ton compared to the same
screen size KDL 40EX723. After Initial Switch on, Sony;s setup wizard helps you
get the television up and running quickly for the basics i.e watching digital
terrestial tv. Its on screen help is extremely detailed, its pratically got its
help manual built into the set itself which is great diagrams and
all!
Appearence, Dimensions & Power
The bezel is extremely thin
with a black brushed effect finish, Its physical dimensions are (w)94.3 x
(h)58.6 x (d)4.2(cm) or 94.3 x 61.6 x 25.0(cm) including its stand. The Screen
itself is LED, (Basically thats good for us as it means we get a Brighter
clearer picture than that of an equivalent LCD TV at the same time using far
less energy, In my case this TV uses around 96Watts, it uses a quarter of the
power my old set used meaning its saving me on utility bills.) The TV carries
the Sony ECCO range badge and gets an "A" rating on the E.U electrical appliance
power consumption chart. Other green features include The Presence Sensor which
temporarily turns off your TV picture to save energy when there is no movement
in the room, the remote control has a sensor in it also so just picking the
remote up is enough to bring the set out of power saving. Theres also Light
Sensor which adjusts the pictures brightness according to the room's ambient
light to save energy and reduce electricity bills.

Features / Smart TV!
The TV's main interface has been updated,
dropping the tradtional / simplistic PS3 / PSP menu system, enabling the viewer
to still watch the television while they change the settings or look for media,
Anyone familiar with any recent Sony product will instantly get to grips with
the interface, again the help manuals are built in and are all accessible from
the home screen as well as shortcut buttons.
The set has a built in web
browser for surfing, at the moment with the current firmware the browser is
unable to view videos embedded in webpages but thats a minor flaw, overall the
web browser isnt too bad its not the fastest web experience but hey your surfing
the internet on your tv whilst watching eastenders ! yes the set will do split
screen enabling you to use your pc and watch tv at the same time. I hear you ask
it must be painful typing in URL addresses without some kind of keyboard
present, I agree with you thats true, the remote supplied although well made and
functional does not have that facility but this is where your smart tv really
comes into play, Sony working with Apple have developed a free application for
iPAD and iPHONE users, using WIFI your mobile device becomes the full remote
control including keyboard now searching through google is once again fun and
simple! Im not sure if there is an app for other handsets but if there isnt im
sure its coming. Failing that the set has USB ports, i havent tried this yet but
simply plug in a USB Keyboard I dont see any reason why this wouldnt
work.

Being a smart tv, you have access to Widgets & APPS like
facebook, twitter & skype. You can watch tv and use facebook at the same
time, not sure if thats a good thing as a lot of peeps I know are addicted to
facebook LOL!
for skype you will need the sony camera (see specs above for
details) However I will connect my Microsoft webcam to see if a generic camera
can be used. It may be a long shot but if it works will of just saved £93
as
Sonys peripherals are quite expensive.
The TV has a whole host of
Internet music and video options, Including services from Love film, Sony and
you tube Not forgetting BBC iPlayer. However At present Channel 4 OD and ITV
Player isnt available via the TV which is odd because I have them on My PS3
however Im sure they are coming.
The TV has builtin Free view HD, giving
you BBC 1 HD, BBC HD, ITV HD and Channel 4 HD. The picture is good even with the
poor aerial im using, thats also saved me upgrading my scart only sky digital
box, saving me £10 a month on subscription fees!
Talking about USB, this
tv really elimates the need for a VCR or Any type of hard drive based
recorder
using the USB interface simply take an external USB flash drive
(over 32Gb) or hard drive. Connect it to the main usb socket and via the home
menu mount the drive for use with the tv, once that has been done your tv will
record any digital tv program directly onto that storage. All recordings can be
viewed or deleted via the home screen. The TV will support hard drives upto 1Tb.
Please note it will reformat the drive so make sure its a spare disk as you cant
share the disk with the TV and a PC etc. As always backup your stuff!. At
present the TV will only record off the air, I tried to manually record
something from the scart input but I wasnt allowed but again a minor
issue.
other features include remote streaming of media from a windows PC,
connect your media to the USB sockets for direct playback! i.e USB thumb drives,
MP3 players and IPODs. However I havent had much success with track names
connecting an ipod to the tv via usb as the tv just addresses the ipod as
removable storage but im sure Sony will fix that in an upcoming firmware
update.
The picture is very sharp, the blacks are pretty much spot on and
the motion (200Hz) is fluid and very smooth,
makes fast moving pictures look
much better, a problem that has plagued LCD tv;s since day 1.
Yes but what
about 3D? its awesome anything to do with fish / wildlife!! amazing. I was lucky
to of liberated a Sony 3D Demo bluray. I always play this to friends who havent
experienced 3DTV yet it converts them!. I have to admit GRAN TURISMO 5 and
WIPEOUT HD on the PS3 are amazing!!. Especially the depth from the cockpit views
its very good.
I can go on and on about this TV as it is jammed with
features, yes there are 2 main downers to this tv
The 3D glasses are
expensive, well made but pricey and retail at £109 a pair and your gonna need
atleast 2 pairs but if you shop at amazon you will find them for half of what
currys ask for. The second is the built in Speakers, as the tv is thin/small so
are the speakers therfore there isnt really any bass you will need a home
theatre or the like to get the true A/V experience. Again Sony have made a
Standalone speaker bar which can connect directly underneath the TV (making it
one piece). That particular speaker bar is the Sony SA-40-SE this will probably
cost around £250. Ideal if you dont have space for speakers or a home theatre
kit.
