+ Good picture and brilliant colours. The tv has lots of other features that we have found useful eg a remote control that lights up to make it easier to see the buttons in the dark. It has 3 HDMI sockets which are sufficient. We found it very easy to wall mount and the design of the LCD looks very stylish. I have no regrets with buying this model.

- My only grumble is that Sony don't make a 42 inch model as there is a big difference between the 40 inch and the 46 inch, but no bad points that I can think of about the model itself.

+ Fantastic HD quality both on TV, Blue ray and the upscaling on existing DVD`s. First class build quality, ease of use.
Iam not disapointed paying for the Sony was the right think to do, over a year to finally take the plunge even if the whole experience cost alot, stand, PS3, hdmi cables & sky HD upgrade. Took some persuading for the wife to agree. We are both extremely happy.

- Makes the normal tv look so poor, Why is there not more channels broardcast in HD.

Most small flatscreen TVs have LCD screens. Some larger TVs have plasma screens. Some very new TVs have LED screens. Traditional TVs are called Standard or CRT.
HD TV	Full HD 1080p
‘HD Ready’ is a Europe-wide standard designed to made HD technology less confusing. HD Ready TVs must have • Minimum vertical resolution of 750 pixels (in widescreen format) • Ability to display 720p and 1080i formats • An HDMI or Digital Video Interface (DVI interface) Full HD is a higher standard. Full HD TVs have screen resolutions of 1080p and can output at least 24 frames per second. Full HD is becoming common, but you won’t see Full HD on normal TV channels for a long time, so it remains optional for many people.
Freeview or Freesat Tuner	Freeview
Freeview is free digital terrestrial TV. FreeSat is a free digital satellite TV service, which gives you HD programming from people like the BBC without having to pay for a subscription to a service like Sky. You need a dish to receive Freesat but not Freeview. For more information see the Freeview site or the Freesat site.
HDMI Interface	3
Like a scart interface but capable of carrying HD signals from or to other devices. You’ll need these to link your Playstation 3 or your Blu-ray player to your HD-ready TV.
Number of Scart Interfaces	2
Scart sockets are places where you can connect other devices to your TV. If you already have a DVD player, a VCR and a Playstation you might want to make sure your new TV has enough Scart interfaces so you don’t have to keep crawling round the back of the TV.
Frequency (Hz)	50
A TV’s frequency is how often the picture is updated per second, and is measured in Hertz (Hz). A higher frequency, such as 100 Hz, means that a TV is more likely to show fast-moving images with high detail.

This figure is designed to tell you how much difference there is between dark and light colours on the TV.

Plasma screens have historically boasted better contrast ratios than LCD screens.

Brightness in Candela per square metre	500
Brighter TVs, such as LCDs, tend to provide a better experience in lighter rooms, whereas TVs with a lower brightness, such as many plasma TVs, are often better suited to darker rooms.
PC Interface	Yes
