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

5.0 out of 5 stars Great TV, 21 Oct 2008
By A. Ford "Andy Ford" (Scunny) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great quality modestly sized TV, 22 Sep 2008
This was our first flat screen TV, replacing a 28" CRT. Although you can get the 32inch V4000 for only slightly more we went for this model as we don't need any extra screen size - we just wanted something easier to carry that doesn't use any floor space. It will be wall mounted in our small living room (allow 4 or 5cm clearance when you buy a bracket unless your cables will run through the wall...).

It is currently used for upscaled DVDs via hdmi, built-in freeview and as a 2nd monitor for the PC on a VGA cable. The picture quality is excellent in all of these uses and free from digital artefacts which are distracting on larger screens.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top value 26in LCD, 25 Sep 2008
By Alex B (London, UK) - See all my reviews
I spent a lot of time researching various 26in TVs, and the choice seemed to be between various Sony models, a couple of Panasonic models and a Samsung one. I am extremely pleased to have chosen this model.

- It looks excellent. Although I am quite keen on my AV equipment, I do recognise a TV should look nice in the room you are putting it in. The piano black surround looks classy without being brash, and the silver speaker grille almost looks metal (although it isn't)

- The picture is superb. For SD broadcasts, it looks a lot better than my (much more expensive) Sharp 42in LCD. I mostly use it for connection to an Xbox360 - the responsiveness of the screen seems good and the colours are vibrant

- The remote is comfortable to use and quite intuitive. Some Sony stuff has been shipped with very complicated remotes lately (especially the DVD recorders), nice to see they are correcting this

Of course there are a couple of downsides (sound is average, the in built SD receiver isn't too good at picking up channels on weak signals) but in all I couldn't be happier with it. Not sure why you would pay £100 more for a Panasonic (or £40 less for a Samsung).
