BRAVIA U3000 Series LCD TV


Available in 26, 32 & 40" Screen Sizes

If you’re looking for an affordable entry Sony BRAVIA and you mainly watch standard definition content, the U3000 Series is available in a range of screen sizes. Along with being ready for the Digital Switchover, the U Series has strong connectivity with 2 HDMI ports so you can connect 2 HD sources e.g. Sky HD and PS3, while Dynamic Contrast delivers great depth and detail in the picture.

BRAVIA U3000 Series LCD TV


HD Ready

HD Ready

To appreciate just how good a high definition picture is, it helps to know how TV’s, DVD’s and VHS worked in the past. Until recently, there was only one type of broadcast format – Standard definition - SD. With SD, the level of detail in the picture resolution is limited. SD has a resolution of 720 X 576, which means 576 horizontal lines of 720 pixels each. Pixels are the dots which make up a digital picture. The new HD formats boost resolution far beyond SD, giving your TV a level of clarity and detail that is absolutely breathtaking.


Integrated Digital Tuner / Freeview

Integrated Digital Tuner / Freeview

Having an integrated Digital Freeview Tuner means that your TV has a built in receiver that will give you access to many more channels without the need to have any additional hardware, such as a Freeview box. In 2007, the government will begin switching UK broadcasting to digital, so if your TV doesn’t have an integrated digital tuner feature you wont be able to view any channel without buying the additional hardware.


HDMI Sockets

HDMI Sockets

The U3000 Series has 2 X HDMI sockets located at the rear of the set.

Your HDMI socket provides a connection point on your TV that is able to deliver a high definition picture. Quite simply, the more HDMI sockets that you have on your BRAVIA LCD TV, the more components you are able to link up to for HD picture quality, for instance, a Digital camera & your gaming console.


BRAVIA Theatre Sync

BRAVIA Theatre Sync

A one touch control over your whole Home theatre set up. Simply press the Theatre button on the TV’s remote control, the TV’s sound turns off & the picture settings configure automatically to an optimal movie watching mode. BRAVIA Theatre Sync cuts out the complexity so that you can concentrate on enjoying your movie.


Dynamic Contrast

Dynamic Contrast

Contrast ratio is improved and all shades between the brightest white and the darkest blacks are maintained, so the picture has more depth and detail. This is achieved as the backlight brightness adjusts according to the brightness of the scene. Sony’s unique dynamic contrast system features ACE (advanced contrast enhancer) which ensures all of the subtle shades of grey are maintained.


VESA Hole Spacing

VESA Hole Spacing

VESA-Standard or Video Electronics Standards Association is a perfect template for hole spacing (screw holes) in flat screens. So providing your wall bracket is also VESA standard, hanging your TV on the wall, for example, is a simple process without the frustration of drilling the holes incorrectly and in the wrong place.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sony KDL-26U3000 - 26'' Widescreen Bravia HD Ready LCD TV - With Freeview, 27 Dec 2007
By Ms. K. Grabham (Somerset Uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
We had the misfortune of my old JVC CRT TV which weighed a tonne to stop working just before Christmas, which was not really what we wanted. So we searched around for a replacement and came up with the Sony Bravia KDL-26U3000. The build quality is excellent and looks superb either switched on or just switched off. The colours are amazing and as with Sony TVs the black is really black giving excellent contrast and sharpness, when the TV is off this is apparent as you can just see how dark the screen is rather than that greyness some TV's have. So far we have connected Sky, DVD RAM recorder by Scart lead giving excellent picture quality, along with and old PS2 by component lead which gives a better picture and sharpness than standard Scart or leads supplied by Sony originally. You can label or rename your inputs with 4 letter rather than just AV1 etc, so you can have HDMI, PS2, SAT, DVD etc making selecting inputs a lot simpler .The Digital / Freeview tuner has given excellent picture results, using a non digital aerial, just amplified by a powered booster; along with its own built in menu display and favourites menu you can select you own list of favourite channels. Sound wise it's pretty good, but we have it connected to a Teac Stereo, as this just gives a richer sound than the standard TV speakers. Looking forward to trying a PS3 by HDMI sometime to see what it really can do picture wise. All in all this is a great TV, you feel you get your monies worth, with the build quality, feel and look of the TV, and after all it is a Sony. We have a 22 inch LG, which is excellent for the price, but lacks a little as it just seems not in a league of the Bravia's build although it in itself performs excellent as a TV, it just looks cheaper whereas the Bravia is like a piece of quality furniture and an excellent TV all in one. So if you're looking for a great TV you will not be disappointed with this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sony makes it easy, 30 Dec 2007
By Nickel (Kent, England) - See all my reviews
Just plug it in, and the TV sorts all the analogue and digital channels for you. Picture is great - we typically watch from about 3m away. Hiding the shopping channels took a bit of time, but as long as you read all through the manual, it's all there. Very pleased so far!

5.0 out of 5 stars A nice little TV!, 24 April 2008
By Mr. S. Denys "A happy customer" (Northampton) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have been looking for a 26" flat screen for the bedroom for some time, lingering over a Toshiba, a Panasonic and this one. I quickly discounted the Panasonic (though if I had the money I would have gone for it but couldn't justify the expense on the basis that you wouldn't be able to clearly tell the difference on a 26" TV!). However, having had some good sony stuff in the past, I went for Sony. And I am pleased I did.
Easy to use, easy to unpack, excellent delivery (normal free delivery), easy controls, fantastic picture too.
Quite a neat a little package for a small TV!!
Sound is ok, bearing in mind that it's a small flat TV - copes well with the virtual dolby too.
Lots of output slots means you can always find an excuse to plug something into the TV to show something off on it!!!
