    Sony KDL-40V2000 review

    10 Last reviewed

    With standard-definition delivered with gusto and high-definition with near perfection, it's clear Sony is on fire with this year's Bravia range and in the KDL-40V2000 has produced a screen that can rightly be called a reality TV.

    Sony KDL-40S2010 review

    Sony has bravely left plasma behind to concentrate solely on LCD, but if the result is screens as good as this then there's little room for criticism.Part of the S series of Sony's Bravia brand...

    Sony KDE-W50A12U review

    8 Last reviewed

    Given the noise Sony has made about its BRAVIA LCD TV range, it's perhaps surprising to find this 50in plasma screen bearing the marque.In many ways, the KDE-W50A12U is a place-holder for the brand...

    Sony KDL-40V2000 review

    10 Last reviewed

    After a couple of years spent really struggling to get a serious sales foothold in the flat TV world, Sony finally started to crack it towards the end of last year with its first Bravia LCD TVs

    Sony KDL-32S2010 review

    9 Last reviewed

    Sony's debut BRAVIA range finally earned the company the sort of TV sales it has long been praying for. But how much can the new generation build on this success? The S-series models reviewed here is the entry-level set for the brand.

    Sony KDL-S40A12U review

    8 Last reviewed

    It's amazing what a lick of marketing paint will do. After several years of underperforming flatscreens, and a brand name that just didn't catch fire with the global public (Wega? Vega? Vaguer?)...

    Sony KDL-S32A12 review

    8 Last reviewed

    Few brands know how to make a TV look as distinctive as Sony, so it comes as no surprise that the S32A12U is eye candy of the highest order. Willy Wonka would have been proud. It lacks the chutzpah of the boldly black V32A12

    Sony Bravia KDF-E50A12U review

    8 Last reviewed

    Sony has always favoured LCD technology over DLP when it comes to both front and rear projection. So it's no surprise to find it's still persevering with LCD for its latest rear-pro offering, the 50in KDFE50A12U

    Sony KLV-L32M1 review

    9 Last reviewed

    From what we've seen of it so far, we love Sony's new Wega Engine processing (see p43 for our Wega plasma review). It keeps all of the screen's picture scaling in the digital domain...

    Sony KDL-S32A12U review

    8 Last reviewed

    As if keeping track of the plethora of flat TVs being released isn't difficult enough for the average consumer, some manufacturers seem determined to make things yet more confusing.

    Sony KDL-S32A12U review

    8 Last reviewed

    Only a couple of issues ago we looked at and loved Sony's 32in LCD offering, the KDL-V32A12U. But that £1,800 price tag hardly put it within reach of the mainstream TV-buying audience. Which is where the new KDL-S32A12U comes in

    Sony Bravia KDF-E50A12U review

    8 Last reviewed

    Sony's new 'Bravia' branded KDF-E50A12U is the latest in the long-running - but not particularly well-reviewed - Grand Wega line of rear-projection microdisplays. At its heart is an LCD projection engine that, in market share at least

    Sony KDL-V32A12 review

    8 Last reviewed

    Whatever god you worship, now would be a good time to offer up a prayer of thanks. At long last, Sony has delivered unto us an HD Ready TV. We can start to forget the debacle of Sony's previous LCD and plasma TVs

    Sony KD-28DX51U review

    8 Last reviewed

    Far too many TVs struggle with bass. They either distort or rattle horrendously, or don't bother trying to produce it at all. The Sony KD-28DX51U,however, is an exception, building a dedicated,15W RMS subwoofer into its rear end

    Sony KLV-L32M1 review

    7 Last reviewed

    While we wait (and wait...) for Sony's next generation of LCD TVs, the brand's old L32M1 is still hanging on to its high street position, courtesy of a fairly drastic price cut. But will that prove enough to keep it competitive?

    Sony KDL-V32A12U review

    10 Last reviewed

    Those that delighted in Sony's rather tardy entrance to the LCD arena aren't going to like this. If you're a serious TV fan with a grand and a half to burn,however, this HD-ready set could be just what you've been waiting for.

    Sony KDL-S32A12U review

    8 Last reviewed

    Traditionally, LCDs were confined within small screen boundaries. But with performance improving, prices falling and larger screen sizes venturing into plasma territory, the technology threatens a full-scale invasion

    Sony KD-32DC11U review

    8 Last reviewed

    ...As a pricey TV, Sony's KD-32DDC11U has a point to prove. And it gets off to a decent start by being one of the more attractive CRT TVs in town. The all-over silver colour scheme sits nicely on a tasteful combination

    Sony KDL-V32A12U review

    10 Last reviewed

    Sony's latest screen, the KDL-V32A12U, is arguably its most future-proof model to date. This LCD is one of the first Sony models to be HD-ready thanks to its combined 1,366 x 768 screen resolution and HDMI connectivity...

    Sony KE-P42M1 review

    6 Last reviewed

    EICTA's announcement last year of the requirements a screen must fulfil to call itself truly HD Ready caught Sony on the hop. The company couldn't boast a single large screen that met the criteria...

    Technisat Digipal LCD review

    Last reviewed

    Slumping in front of the set in your living room or bedroom isn't theonly way to watch TV these days. Even mobile phones will soon have digital tuners in them, and it's easy to transfer recorded programmes to one of the growing number...

    Sony KLV-27HR3 review

    7 Last reviewed

    Even though 30 and 32inch LCD TVs are plummeting in price, you can count the number under a grand on one stump (Akai's LM-H30CJSA, basically). Instead, the more budget conscious of us have to downsize, although, to be honest....

    Sony KE-P42M1 review

    6 Last reviewed

    Part of Sony's new range of Wega Engine TVs, the KE-P42M1 happily boasts the good looks that the big-name brand is famous for. But while its dramatically curved edges are undeniably attractive, it is rather on the large side.

    Sony KE-P42M1 review

    7 Last reviewed

    The P42M1 is no shrinking violet. It's blinking huge, in fact. Maybe a bit too much so, if truth be told. Still, its dramatically curved edges and bold chunkiness can't be accused of ugliness.In keeping with, tragically, the whole of Sony's...

    Sony KLV-L23M1/S5 review

    10 Last reviewed

    Trust Sony to be different. While every other manufacturer is going for ultra-slender frames and glossy black finishes on their LCD TVs, Sony's new KLV-L23M1 is quite chunky, silver, matt-finished and curved in all the most unexpected places.
