With the Sony Bravia EX700 Series they have come in with a "bang" offering a great price / viewing exprience equation. The Sony Bravia EX700 52 Inch LED TV is a great piece of kit, read what I thought about it after a test viewing.
Sony Bravia EX700 Series 52-Inch LED HDTV
The Sony Bravia EX700 52 Inch LED TVThe Sony Bravia EX700 52-Inch LED TV allows you to enjoy Full 1080p High Definition. With incredible contrast and smooth high motion picture performance the Sony BRAVIA EX700-Series LED HDTV is an outstanding LED TV.
It offers full internet connectivity so you can have a huge variety of movies, TV shows, videos and music using apps from Netflix, Amazon Video on Demand, YouTube, Slacker and more all at your fingertips.
So, I was delighted when a friend made a purchase and invited me round for a viewing session! John got his Sony Bravia EX700 52-Inch LED TV about 2 weeks ago and the first thing that hit me was the stunningly beautiful picture. The colors are rich and bright and the blacks display incredible depth and of course LED HD makes everything so crisp and clean.
John has set his Sony Bravia EX700 up in his Family Room and he has excellent facilities to back up his LED TV and to make the absolute best of it! His Set-up includes Pioneer Elite SC-25 receiver, LG Blu-Ray, Boston Accoustics center and surround speakers.
This is a great set up and watching Avatar on this set up was an amazing experience. The action sequences were clear and crisp and the colors vibrant, it was outstanding.
John was even kind enough to give me an overview of what he thought were the pros and cons of his new Sony Bravia LED HD TV.
First up he is totally delighted with the picture quality and clarity. He's traded up to the Sony Bravia EX700 52 Inch LED TV from a Samsung 46 Inch LCD. His view was that the picture is better buy only marginally. For my money, I thought the difference was more "marked" with the Bravia stacking up particularly well.
The colors just seem "warmer" to me and the picture is a little crisper despite the bigger 52 Inch screen. Images from the Blu-Ray are truly stunning, Avatar is a great molvie anyway, and the Blu-Ray full 1080 HD just added to the experience and I think that is partly down to the performance of the Sony Bravia EX700 52 Inch LED TV.
Connectivity is excellent, Sony even include a wireless dongle! However, John has hardwired to his LAN so I can't comment on the wireless capabilities. However, he said that getting the network hooked up was easy and streaming from his PC via the netowrk was effortless with no hiccups. HD video streaming is pretty good, we had a quick loo, although obviously not as good as a true 1080p HD source.
The Sony Bravia EX700 is a great looking piece of kit. The screen is surrounded by a beautiful high gloss black surround.
I've no doubt it will be hard to keep clean but the design is great!
And of course, in common with all LED TVs the Sony Bravia EX700 52 Inch LED TV has the now traditional low energy consumption.
On the downside, the base of the set is not the best, but John has it mounted on his own media center so no issue, I guess I may have been swayed by his comments and the fact that it looked a bit strange detached?
Probably more importantly, the channel change was a bit slow, which is disappointing as it's something I know Samsung have cured!. The worst delay seemed to be when changing between two channels with different resolutions say 720 versus 1080.
And finally the SD picture is not that wonderful. However, to be honest, I am nitpicking.
Overall the Sony Bravia EX700 52 Inch LED TV is a great bit of kit providing a superb viewing experience, highly recommended and I know John is absolutely delighted...and he's not easily pleased when it comes to his HD TV!

32" 120hz HDTV recommendation and HDMI/VGA/DVI input lag difference?
I'm thinking about getting a 32" HDTV with 120hz refresh rate to use as my computer monitor, there is this LG 32' with 2.7ms input lag. So my question is does using DVI / VGA / HDMI result a different input lag >2.7ms? Also the TV will remain 120hz video refresh rate ragardless if game mode or tv mode? cause i've head some tv won't reach native 120hz in game mode.
And any brand, model of HDTV recommendation would be nice
so i did a little more research, which i found that 60hz and 120hz can't hardly be noticed, motion blur is a fuzzy concept that manufactures and retailers use to mislead consumers. as if said what is the difference between ViewSonic VX2265wm monitor120hz 3ms, and other the LG HDTV i mentioned? do they calculate their response time based on different grey-to-grey cycle? and will it be necessary to get a 120hz HDTV?

BITS; Disruptions: TV Makers Ignore Apps At Their Own Peril
12 Mar 2012 at 12:00am SAN FRANCISCO -- Every night, I get home from work, drop onto the couch and sit there surfing the Web or watching videos on my 3 1/2-inch iPhone screen.

These days, this business of phone-as-brain goes way beyond stand-alone apps. Nowadays, the iPhone handles the...Read more...
