Manufacturer's Description

Sony BRAVIA V4000
Sony Logo
Bravia Logo
BRAVIA V4000 Series LCD TV
Available in 26", 32" & 37" Screen Sizes

The BRAVIA V4000 Series LCD TV in HD Ready resolution offers excellent connectivity with 3x HDMI and BRAVIA Theatre Sync, together with the excellent picture quality you would expect from BRAVIA Engine picture processing technology.

HD Ready (1366x768)
HD Ready (1366x768)
To appreciate just how good a high definition picture is, it helps to know how TVs, DVDs 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 began switching UK broadcasting to digital, so if your TV doesn’t have an integrated digital tuner feature you won’t be able to view any channel without buying the additional hardware.

BRAVIA Engine
BRAVIA Engine
BRAVIA Engine is the high picture performance engine used in the latest Sony LCD televisions. An original picture tuning and noise reduction process was developed by Sony to guarantee vivid and high contrast images. The complex noise reduction process enhances low contrast images until they are crisp and realistic, and processes blues, greens and whites within each frame to generate the richness and colour accuracy.

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. The V4000 Series delivers a Dynamic Contrast Ratio of 30,000:1 (37’’ 22,000:1).

BRAVIA Theatre Sync
BRAVIA Theatre Sync
BRAVIA Theatre Sync is a new way of controlling Home Theatre setups. Using HDMI connections and one remote control, signals can be sent between the various units that make up the system. BRAVIA Theatre Sync is designed to cut out any complexity so you can concentrate on enjoying the movie. Just one push of a button and the audio equipment and TV are switched on, the correct inputs selected and the Blu-ray DiscTM or DVD player starts to play.

HDMI Sockets
HDMI Sockets
The V4000 Series has 3 x HDMI inputs (two on rear, one on side, all with CEC) make it even easier to connect to High Definition sources such as Blu-ray Disc™ and PLAYSTATION®3

better than expected 26 Oct 2008
Excellent picture quality and sound and as big as you'll need in a small living room.

Some reviewers have complained about the KDL26V4000's ability to tune to a weak Freeview signal. The digibox I had with my previous TV was never able to pick up Freeview using our existing elderly aerial. This set has located it with little problem however.

Gives a fantastic HD picture from freesat too. Pity that Sony don't make a freesat box which can be controlled with the TV remote.

I was slightly worried that it would be vulnerable to the attentions of our toddler, but the heavy metal base is quite enough to stop it falling over even if pushed, and the on/off controls are located on top of the set where she can't reach them.

Great TV 21 Oct 2008
By A. Ford
Amazon Verified Purchase
Bought this for the bedroom. Good clear picture with no blurring at all when watching sport which was very important to me. Setup easy just turn it on and follow the on screen instructions you can't go wrong. Auto tunes all the channels. sound quality is excellent for a tv this size. used in bedroom and loud enough to watch tv even at 1/4 of the volume. researched many tv's and this was the best all round value in this size and price bracket. if you dont want it in standby then turn it off. there is a button on the top next to the manual controls that turns it off so no wasted power!!!

A very good LCD TV 29 Oct 2008
I bought this TV one week ago and I will say it is a very good choice. The 26" size is suitable in my small size living room and also good in a bedroom. The image quality is perfect whether in analog mode(5 channels) or in digital mode(30+ freeview channels). Someone above said the TV would lose all its recorded channels information after unpluged it power cable from wall. I did the test however I found it was not true. All channels were still there after one night power off(unplug the power cable).
The delivery was quite fast. I ordered it at 1:50 afternoon and the TV arrived in the early morning next day.
All in all, for this price 26V4000 is a wonderful purchase.

Great as long as you have a good signal in
Like any LCD TV - performance depends on the input signal. A strong detailed signal such as that from blu-ray will show this TV off to its best. Read more
