Sony Bravia KDL37V5500U 37-inch Widescreen Full HD 1080p LCD TV with Freeview

A BRAVIA LCD TV is no ordinary television. Design is sleeker, pictures are brighter, details clearer. All BRAVIA televisions are HD Ready as a minimum, with up to 4 HDMI connections, and come with an integrated digital tuner so there is no need for a set-top box to view Freeview TV and radio channels. Most of the BRAVIA LCD TVs feature BRAVIA Sync technology, it takes just one button to turn on your entire Sony home entertainment system, while XrossMediaBar helps you navigate your TV easily with its best-in-class menu screen. After all advanced technology should simply mean technology that does more for you.

Packed with the latest Sony technology, the BRAVIA V5500 lets you experience HD entertainment in all its glory. BRAVIA ENGINE 3 digital processing delivers excellent image quality, with vivid colours and sharper edges. It's DLNA-enabled, allowing it to become the hub of a home network of other compatible devices, so you can enjoy all your music, video and pictures on a whole new level. Meanwhile, a built-in USB Media Player enables you to connect other devices to your TV screen. Plus you can use the AppliCast™ feature to check on-screen RSS feeds of news and other information while you're watching your favourite programmes.

HD1080 gives you the ultimate standard of high definition

HD1080 for cinema quality in your home

High Definition lets you enjoy home entertainment with stunning picture quality and sound. The BRAVIA V5500 goes way beyond the specification of an HD ready TV: its screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 can accept Full HD1080p/24p input signals with no downscaling. In a nutshell, the more pixels you have, the better the resolution, the finer the detail - and the more amazing the experience.

BRAVIA ENGINE 3 for the ultimate HD experience

An LCD television creates pictures by switching millions of pixels on and off. In the V5500 this process is controlled by the BRAVIA ENGINE 3, the latest version of Sony's advanced digital processing technology.

The unique technology of BRAVIA ENGINE 3 optimises the quality of every single scene

Using a collection of unique Sony algorithms it applies a digital perfecting process to reduce noise and produce cleaner images, higher contrast and smoother motion sequences, resulting in enhanced overall performance regardless of source.

Specifically, it analyses each individual scene, controlling the peak brightness level to generate advanced colour and brightness, and optimising the noise level. It also detects and adjusts the overall colour distribution of each frame and smoothes diagonal lines of pixels in fast-moving pictures to prevent jagged edges and bleeding colours.

In short, it delivers exceptional performance in every single scene.

Connect your home with DLNA
