See things differently with HD Ready
Enjoy your favourite TV shows and movies in clear and detailed High Definition quality. This BRAVIA has a resolution of 768 lines (standard TVs commonly display 576 lines) so your picture will be much crisper and display much more true-to-life clarity. As well as having the capacity to display 1080 HD content by downscaling the image to 720, it features innovative technologies such as intelligent noise reduction for sharper, crisper sound and Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE) which dynamically controls the backlight.

Subscription-free, built-in Freeview
To add to your viewing choice, the set has a built-in Freeview TV tuner so you have instant access to a huge range of free-to-air and digital TV and radio channels. Channels are free so you won't have any subscription fees or contracts to sign. Because it's all built-in you won't need a set-top box or satellite dish either. Simply plug in your external TV aerial and access all your channels using just one remote control.

Optimise the picture for your surroundings
This BRAVIA model features an innovative power-saving ambient Light Sensor which detects the ambient light in a room and adapts the picture's brightness accordingly. As well as making viewing more comfortable, when the set's light sensor is activated, power consumption can be reduced by a further 30%. This is one of a group of energy-saving Eco-Settings which also includes Power Saving, Idle TV Standby and PC Power Management.

Experience advanced picture quality
Its BRAVIA ENGINE 2 processor delivers astonishingly clear and life-like colours with the most natural tones possible. Black levels are the deepest and most detailed, with a brightness and contrast that's crisp and confident. Reds and greens are notoriously difficult to reproduce on an LCD screen. Live Colour intelligently boosts these colours making sure the images you see on your BRAVIA TV are bright, vibrant and realistic. Connect a compatible camera or camcorder and the TV will automatically switch to optimum settings for displaying photos and reproduce their full, realistic texture and colour.

Connect to your favourite technology
With its USB Media Player, you can connect a wide range of USB devices straight to your BRAVIA TV. From mp3 players to cameras, laptops to camcorders - even content from your USB memory stick, just plug in to enjoy your favourite multimedia files on screen. It's easy to enhance your BRAVIA experience by connecting other HD products such as a Blu-ray Disc™ player or PlayStation®3 thanks to four High Definition Multimedia Interface™ (HDMI™) inputs. These connections are specifically designed to carry high quality digital video and audio content. BRAVIA Sync lets you control other Sony devices you've connected using your BRAVIA TV remote control.

Enjoy authentic cinematic experiences
Cinema Mode is a new picture setting developed in collaboration between BRAVIA and Sony Pictures Entertainment. It allows films to be viewed as close to the original director's cut as possible. Cinema Mode precisely reproduces details such as natural skin tone, lighting, colour and contrast. In 24p True Cinema mode films can be watched as the director intended for the big screen - at 24 frames per second. Standard TVs use 25 frames a second which means they play back 'faster' than they do in the cinema.

Create atmospheric settings
Whether you're watching the big match, the latest movie or playing a high impact game, Scene Select allows you to choose from a list of options to automatically adjust the sound and picture settings to complement the on screen action. If, for any reason, you're struggling to hear what someone's saying, you can activate Clear Voice. Clear Voice automatically boosts voice frequency bands and enhances poor voice quality to clear, crisp, louder dialogue.

    Sony Bravia 21 Jun 2010
    This TV arrived really quickly and was easy for me to set up on my own. (I am quite a mature lady of bus pass age!) I love the picture and colour and all the features. I only have a small living room so the size of the set is right for me. I realise there were cheaper sets around but I am pleased I bought Sony and very satisfied with my purchase.

    Excellent 26" LCD 7 Jun 2010
    After looking at other brands for months both online and in showrooms I bought this in time for the World Cup to replace a very good but aging Phillips 20" LCD.

    I am very impressed.The set took about ten minutes to unpack, plug-in, hook-up and switch on. I didn't have to fiddle with the settings to get a great picture or sound, just turn Dynamic and Surround sound on, tweak the Backlighting and Contrast down a little to my taste and hey presto - a great TV. The unit is not much bigger than the 20" it replaces and is extremely light but feels solid and well built. The on-screen menu is very detailed and with many options but easy to use and navigate. I don't regret this purchase at all and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a quality LCD by a respected manufacturer at a very good price.

    By Mr. Am Kean TOP 1000 REVIEWER
    Bought this to replace a sadly dropped CRT set. I don't think that LCD sets do too well with standard definition content and this Sony is no exception. It also suffers from the boxy sound caused by the current vogue for downward firing speakers. In nearly all other respects it is first rate. Well built with a stable stand and a steel stem for the stand. The menus are fairly clear. My big gripe is that the set up menus cover half the picture which makes seeing the effect that changing picture settings have almost impossible. Sony make updated firmware (TVs operating system) available from their website which Panasonic do not. I would suggest turning off picture noise reduction and a couple of dubious sounding picture enhancement settings off for best results.

    A return to form for Sony.
