Sony Bravia XBR3 HDTV Review Of The Sony Bravia XBR3
The Sony Bravia XBR3 is a HDTV (High Definition Television) and delivers pictures in a different method than Pal, Scart and rear projection televisions. One of the benefits of HDTV s such as the Sony Bravia XBR3 is that it includes an HDMI port.
HDMI is the modern alternative to S-Video and Scart and you may have used these for connecting external devices such as video and DVD players to standard televisions. HDMI allows the same but is better designed to handle digital signals and makes the high resolution picture possible when playing games and watching films. HDMI can be found on the Sony Bravia XBR3 and Pioneer Pro-1540 and many other models of HDTV. Always check when choosing a HDTV that it includes HDMI port(s) as it makes a big difference to the picture.
HDMI is more than just a gimmick due to the difference it makes on a Sony Bravia XBR3 picture. Owners of HDTV s such as those in the Sony Bravia XBR3 range that do not use the HDMI port should sell their HDTV and get a standard television. HDTV s such as the KDL-70XBR3 in the Sony Bravia XBR3 range have 3 HDMI ports. If you have any doubt about the difference HDMI makes to the picture on a Sony Bravia XBR3, its worth noting Microsoft s actions. The original XBOX 360 did not include an HDMI output so they made a version of the XBOX 360 that included one.
The Sony Bravia XBR3 also includes Triluminous Technology which is basically the backlight the comes with the range of Sony Bravia XBR3 HDTV s. When you switch on the backlight on a Sony Bravia XBR3, it makes a big difference to the colours it displays. Colours on the Sony Bravia XBR3 become vivid when it is used in conjunction with its backlight. The Sony Bravia XBR3 range also include Trusurround which is a very good emulation of a Dolby 5.1 speaker setup. Sony Bravia TV s also include Dolby Surround for the avid film buffs who like to take advantage of a genuine Dolby 5.1 or 7.1 speaker setup.
Sony is an industry leader producing HDTV s. If you have been looking for a versatile television, the Sony Bravia XBR3 may be what your looking for. For an in depth look at its features, take a look at this Sony Bravia XBR3 review.
What's the difference between the Sony KDL-40V4000 and KDL-40W4000?
What justifies the £200 difference in price at dixons?
The difference I spot appears to mainly be cosmetic, and the fact the w series has the bravia 2 engine, and the v series has the bravia engine. What's the real difference between these engines - and are they crackable?

What's the difference between the Bravia Engine, and the Bravia 2 Engine?
I'm debating between 2 televisions at the moment.
The Sony Bravia KDL32M4000 and KDL32L4000. The first one has Bravia 2 Engine while the latter only has the Bravia Engine. The contrast ratio is 2500:1 on the first but the latter only has a contrast ratio of 2000:1, is the extra 500:1 noticable?
The KDL32M4000 is $680 and KDL32L4000 is $600. Is it worth paying the extra $800 just for Bravia 2 Engine and a slightly higher contrast ratio?
Thanks

What's a good HDTV for use with a Wii?
I was looking at HDTVs in stores and I noticed the cheaper ones have absolutely awful upscaling (jagged edges, etc.). Since the Wii outputs only 480p, I need one that can upscale well. I don't mind paying more for this, but I still don't want to pay more than I *have* to.
For instance, Sony has M-series Bravias, which have a 'Bravia 2 Engine', although I'm not really sure what this does. They also have L-series Bravias, which are much cheaper but have no Bravia engine. How much will this matter?
Is there something I should be looking for in the bullet points, in brands other than Sony?
Also, will I have any problems with response rates since the TV has to upscale the picture? Response rates are extremely important in playing video games.
I do not have and do not want a PS3 or Xbox 360, so please don't mention them. What I care about is a large (26"-32") widescreen TV that looks reasonably good with the games I already have.
