This LCD TV from the Sony V Range gives a lot of screen for the money. The V range from Sony is the next range up from the entry S range. The Sony KDL46V5500 has been around since earlier this year.
As with most televisions, the KDL46V5500's screen has a matt finish and it is a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen measuring 46 inches along the diagonal. As a result, reflections should no longer be a problem even in a well-lit room.
The screen uses the full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. Even at an average viewing distance you can see how sharp the picture is on a Blu ray playback.
The Sony KDL46V5500's picture functions at 50 Hz. On a 24 frames per second Blu-ray disc the TV displays the picture at a frame rate of 48 Hertz. The television displays the 24 Hz signal faultlessly thanks to Sony's 24p True Cinema.
The Sony KDL-46V5500 possesses really deep levels of black for an LCD television along with natural colours, and smooth motion.
If you possess a home computer network at home, with stored digital pictures and MP3 files on your PC you will have tons of fun with this Sony television. You would expect a television at this price to have so many multi media and home network features.
The TV can receive RSS news feeds if connected to the internet using a router and be shown in a small window on-screen. This capability is called AppliCast. Another advantage of this Sony Bravia TV is that audio, video, and picture files can be played from a USB stick or from a network.
You will need a uPnP server somewhere in your home network to access it on the KDL46V5500. The networking program ensures compatibility with the multimedia files on the network.
Whether you have switched to digital or you are still watching analogue broadcasts the Sony Bravia KDL-46S5500 has a tuner that can deal with either. The analogue tuner is useful for receiving some cable networks signals as well as analogue signals via an aerial
Due to a wide range of connections this Sony Bravia TV can easily connect to most things. The Sony KDL-46V5500U has four HDMI inputs for attaching Blu-ray players and recorders for optimal performance. Analogue devices such as VCRs and Camcorders with composite video outputs can be connected via the 2 Scart inputs and an S-Video input. A computer can be connected to the Sony Bravia KDL46V5500U via the VGA D-sub 15 input and analogue HD sources can be connected using the component video input. The audio output of the television may be attached to an amplifier by the 2 analogue cinch connectors, or through the digital optical output. The 3.5 millimetre jack output is also great for listening to the sound with headphones.
Up to eight preset picture settings can be accessed by a single 'Scene' button on the remote control for easy picture adjustment The menu on the Sony KDL-46V5500 mimics that of the user-unfriendly "PlayStation 3" interface. You have to frequently navigate through several pages of settings because the entire menu can not be displayed on one page, which makes it difficult to use.
