Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

SONY BRAVIA

The experience like no other,
just got even better.
BRAVIA is fast becoming synonymous with a quality of colour and a clarity of detail that no comparable LCD TV can match - a picture so good it enhances the viewing experience, no matter what you like to watch. The new 2006 S-Series and V-Series BRAVIA raise the bar even further, by combining the BRAVIA ENGINE and a unique next generation S-PVA panel. In addition to this the results produced with the introduction of Live Colour Creation to the V-Series BRAVIA are quite simply the best yet.

S-Series and V-Series LCD Television

Live Colour Creation - the most natural colour creation yet*

Next generation S-PVA LCD panel - unique and unequalled**

Super wide 178 degrees viewing angle - watch from almost anywhere

Faster response time - for smoother sports and action sequences

Incredible 1300:1 contrast - for stunning clarity

Integrated Digital Terrestrial Tuner

Built-in pure digital SRS Trusurround XT sound

Ultra slim - space saving and wall mountable

HD Ready with HDMI™ and PC connectivity

*Live Colour Creation applicable to V-Series.
**Available in all V-Series and 32" and above S-Series models.

The BRAVIA ENGINE - generating
incredible colour and clarity
As you'd expect, remaining at the heart of every S-Series and V-Series BRAVIA LCD TV is the renowned BRAVIA ENGINE, our unique fully digital processor. Any signal you put into a BRAVIA, regardless of the source, goes through a pure digital perfecting process:

Super Fast Response Time
8 millisecond response time means fast-moving images such as sports or
action sequences remain pin sharp, without any motion blur.

Incredible High Contrast
1300:1 super-enhanced contrast, delivers incredible depth,
richness and picture detail, with blacks that are truly black.

Ultra Wide Viewing Angle
178° viewing angle means you can experience BRAVIA from almost any angle and there is no reduction in the colour and brightness of the image. This is particularly important when viewing larger television screens. Try it yourself in-store.

The Complete BRAVIA LCD TV Experience
With our unique new technologies, nothing delivers a combination of visual and audio in-home experience quite as stylishly as a BRAVIA.

Colour like no other
The BRAVIA ENGINE processor and the unique high spec S-PVA panel, in the new 2006 S-Series and V-Series BRAVIA LCD TVs deliver rich, deep colour, like no other. The V-Series also combines Live Colour Creation to produce the most natural colour yet.

Sound like no other
Trusurround XT technology delivers a virtual surround-sound experience from the front, with no additional speakers required. While the built-in digital amplification and BBE digital enhancement produces a pure `noise-free' clarity to any conceivable sound, be it a gently inhaled breath or a deep-space explosion.

Style like no other
Designed to look as good as the pictures they produce, the new S-Series and V-Series BRAVIA LCD TV are impressive
even before you switch them on.

Ultra slim, they feature VESA compliant mounting so they can be easily and safely hung on a wall, like a painting. Alternatively they remain just as stylish on their custom designed swivel stands. The space saving dynamic of LCD TV means you can replace a 32inch traditional box set with a 40inch BRAVIA LCD TV without it taking up any extra room.

Product Description

The new HD ready KDL-26S2010 26" S series is high picture quality digital LCD TV, which can be realized by BRAVIA engine and high performance LCD panel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent when setup correctly, 5 July 2006

Mist of Time "Mist of Time" (UK) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Sony KDL-26S2010U - 26" Widescreen Bravia HD Ready LCD TV - With Freeview (Electronics)

This is a fantastic piece of technology, marred only by a garish set of factory settings which makes the actual quality of picture somewhat of a lottery unless you get some help in callibration.

The manual is functional but only provideds superficial guidance. There are a multitude of options for adjusting the picture, most of which seem designed for making it look bright in a shop window under artifical light.

The big secret (I found in one review only) is to turn off most of the advanced options and enable power saving! This unlikely option completely adjust the output levels of everything. If you add in a reduced backlight and low MPEG noise correction this can be outstanding. The built in daylight sensor should also be enabled.

I know have great pictures from the built in Freeview, my PVR on RGB and my DVD on component video with progressive scan.

After a couple of shaky days when I wanted to take it back to the shop I am now very pleased with this purchase - and I have yet to get an HD signal!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 24 July 2006

Mr. J. Irish "Sir Isac Newton" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Sony KDL-26S2010U - 26" Widescreen Bravia HD Ready LCD TV - With Freeview (Electronics)

First of all, an excellent LCD TV.

Picture quality outstanding, once you have taken the time to change all of the options.
The two high quality RGB scart sockets allow connectivity of good quality dvd players. My Xbox (not 360) playing DVD's gives top notch quality playback although it took me a while to get the settings for the input right. The 'Noise Reduction' feature gives terrible motion blur on the set when playing fast action games (I suggest you leave it Off). However the 'MPEG Noise Reduction' feature is marvellous and does a brilliant job of cleaning up the picure.

The 'Blck Corrector', 'Contrast Enhancer', 'Clear White' and 'Live Colour' options (which can be found on Advanced.. when in Custom picture mode) are great added features to the Bravia and should all be set to about medium for all external inputs and TV.

I have yet to try the digital services or the HDTV but I am still thrilled with the set, recommend to anybody. But, be warned, it takes a long time to change the settings to get the most from the set.

5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT TV!!, 12 Oct 2006

G. Fergusson (Leek, Staffordshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Sony KDL-26S2010U - 26" Widescreen Bravia HD Ready LCD TV - With Freeview (Electronics)

I spent many of an age finding and reading reviews of this Sony LCD TV, although not many seem to exist the ones I managed to find persuaded me to part with my well earned cash and buy this tv, and I am glad that I did!

I was prepared for a rather bright factory setting from a previous review but after an hour or so I got a pretty perfect picture from the very user friendly on screen menus, i found that enabling a low power saving, a medium backlight, contrast, brightness and colour with a vivid picture mode brings a very crisp and clear picture.

As for the sound I hooked it to my expensive hi-fi system, but even this did not compare to the great sound produced by the tv's built in speakers!

All in all I am very pleased with this sony tv and I would recommend it to anyone, I dont think that you could buy another 26" tv of this quality in the �600 - �700 price bracket. Dont be fooled by the rather loud picture when looking through a shop window, part with your cash make your adjustments and enjoy.
