New TV (Sony Bravia 46″ KDL46W4000)

Sony BraviaWell I am a very happy chappy at the moment, just picked up my new Sony TV. I tried to get the best value for money but at the same time not go for the lower end of that ‘value for money’ market.

I have had the telly for around 10 days now and can honestly say that I’m very happy with the results. I was a little dubious about buying a TV that I had only seen on the shop floor and also only a SKY HD signal when viewing it. But I was pleasantly surprised when I got it home and plugged it in.

I have given a little overview of the TV picture covering various input signals.

Normal TV
As expected the TV signal is not the greatest and on some programs is very noticable, damn right unwatchable if you ask me. Thankfully I dont watch any TV these days, if I do really want to watch something then I will download it and stream it via the PS3 (which works lovely on the TV by the way).

HD Signal
No problems at all. Pictures is close to perfect.

Playstation 3
Well at the moment I am playing two games (Fifa 09/COD World At War). Nothing to complain about at all. Fast action football works fine and Call of Duty quick turns and fast paced action runs fine. I was expecting Call of Duty to ghost ever so slightly, but it doesn’t. I had to play a good hour or two to make sure :) and I can say it works lovely.

Blu-Ray
What else can I say? The picture is close to perfect. I purchased Planet Earth (Blu-Ray) specifically for testing and of course watching, on this TV. I will say that you get the occasional blurring on fast moving action packed scenes. But! it’s only noticeable if your looking for it. It did not under any circumstance ruin the viewing.
