According to Sony, the BRAVIA W5500 means you can finally create an easy-to-use home network that lets you share music, video and pictures from around the house on your TV.

As part of the Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA), Sony has adopted a universal standard for connectivity that enables your electronic devices, regardless of brand, to ‘talk’ to one another. So now it’s easy to move files between your TV, PC, printer, music player, phone, camera and more, wherever they are in the home.

By integrating your TV into a home network, either wirelessly or via a cable, you can use your BRAVIA remote to find photos on the DLNA-enabled laptop in your bedroom and call them up to your living room TV screen. If you want hard copies, just send them to print on the colour printer in your spare room.

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.

Customer Review Snippets

"What more can I say, crystal clear picture with no pixelation, sharp images and bright colours. The motionflow system is incredible, you can really see the difference it makes."

" . . . . . Incredibly easy to set up and the picture is absolutely brilliant, the xbox has never looked so good... goes perfectly with the black glass stand I ordered from Amazon as well!"

" . . . . the size is great in a smaller area, it doesn't overpower the room."

" . . . crisp, clear and vibrant colours but not overly saturated like LG or Samsung sets. HD sources of course render things beautifully - watching Ratatouille and then Cinderella Man was an absolute joy."

"Best 37inch on the market, easy to set up picture for normal tv is very good, connected my PS3 up to it and played COD4 and watch Lord of the rings and the picture is mindblowing i seen some good tvs but none come near this . ."

"I genuinely rate this TV as a superb viewing experience. The added features of internet capability etc are wasted on me but it's nice to know I've got the technology for the future. Having the Bravia Engine 3 also marks this set out against its predecessors (selling for considerably more). So, for superb Blu-ray and gaming and standard TV viewing which couldn't be any better on a screen of this size I recommend a buy. After all, it's a brand new model and wont depreciate in price for quite some time. "

Motionflow 100Hz

Motionflow 100Hz lets you see fast-moving sports and action scenes like never before by unlocking the amazing detail they contain. This blur reduction technology produces super-smooth, ultra-realistic viewing by doubling the conventional number of frames in a sequence. After every frame it creates an additional unique frame before the next one, based on key factors in the preceding and following images. While similar technologies simply duplicate frames, Motionflow 100Hz intelligently applies information to make movement appear even smoother.

Bravia Engine 3

An LCD television creates pictures by switching millions of pixels on and off. In the W5500 this process is controlled by the BRAVIA ENGINE 3, the latest version of Sony’s advanced digital processing technology. 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.

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.

AppliCast™

AppliCast™ lets you see internet information on your BRAVIA TV while you're watching television. You don't have to switch on your PC - just call up widgets onto the TV screen. Three widgets, including a clock and calendar, are already installed on the on-screen XrossMediaBar and you can add RSS feeds of news, weather and more by connecting your TV to the internet via the Ethernet port at the back. Just select the information you want with your BRAVIA remote and it's right there whenever you need it.

Full HD1080 for cinema quality in your home

High Definition lets you enjoy home entertainment with stunning picture quality and sound. The BRAVIA S5500 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 2

Every picture is put through a digital perfecting process

An LCD television creates pictures by switching millions of pixels on and off. In the S5500 this is driven by BRAVIA ENGINE 2, Sony’s fully digital video processor that uses a collection of unique technologies to significantly reduce noise and produce clear, vibrant, lifelike images, regardless of their source. For example, it reproduces black just as it appears in the real world to depict objects with impressive depth and realism. BRAVIA ENGINE 2 technology also significantly reduces the visual noise that can lead to blurring..

USB Media Player

The BRAVIA S5500 comes with a built-in USB Media Player that means you can connect devices directly to your TV. Content from your USB device is transferred directly to your BRAVIA TV, so you can listen to songs and see a slideshow of your favourite pictures.

Dynamic Contrast

To ensure consistently amazing picture quality, Dynamic Contrast up to 33,000:1 ensures all shades between the brightest white and the darkest blacks are maintained, giving the image so much depth and detail you’ll want to dive right in. It works by enabling the backlight brightness to adjust according to the brightness of the scene.

Sony KDL37V4000 – 37″ Widescreen HD Ready Bravia LCD TV – With Freeview

37-lcd.co.uk — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 11:57:11 +0000

A good looking television with great pictures and sound quality is just some of the ways this product has been described by customers who have already purchased it.

Great for watching TV, movies and games in superb detail thanks to the 3.1 mega pixel resolution while experiencing the effect of digital surround sound from only two front speakers with Virtual Dolby Surround and BBE ViVA sound technology.

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

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 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

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.

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.

BBE ViVA/Virtual Dolby®

BBE ViVA high quality sound and built-in Virtual Dolby® creates the effect of full surround sound from just two front speakers. Built in to the BRAVIA TV range, it counteracts the distorting effects of 3D sound such as lack of high fidelity, unclear dialogue and a distant centre channel. The result is a natural, three-dimensional sound with crystal clarity for solo vocals and spoken word.
