Review Of The Sony Bravia KDL40W5500
Understanding and appreciating the Sony KDL40W5500 LDC TV is easy enough once one begins to look at this liquid crystal display television as the upgraded and improved TV that it is. Debuting in the spring of 2009, this Sony is a replacement for the now-discontinued W4500 series of TVs. Priced at about 700 British pounds, its sticker only helps to add to the fact that there’s much to be pleased about when it comes to this 40-inch LCD TV.
Sony is one of the most well-known makers of TVs and other consumer electronics in the world, and this TV does nothing to take away from that fact. It exudes innovation and high quality at every turn, as do most of the other components within the Sony universe. The W5500 is a part of Sony’s famous Bravia lineup, in fact, and there are a large number of upgrades from the W4500 Bravia television this model replaced earlier in 2009.
One example of the upgrades that have been included is the fact that an additional HDMI input port is now standard, making for a total of four such ports. Also, Sony’s Applicast on-screen widget control application is standard equipment along with the Brave Engine 3 technology and improved DLNA media compatibility.
Because of that new compatibility, this Sony can handle a wide range of media applications in addition to the standard JPEG and MP3 music file duties that most TVs in this price range come equipped to handle. New video streaming capabilities mean that many different video formats can be handled as a matter of course. The TV itself looks attractive in its “Draw the Line” design, with highly-polished black and half-tone mirror accents making for a nice overall look.
It all sits atop a swiveling table-top stand that comes included with the TV. Of course, the television comes standard with a number of other hookup ports, including VGA and analog and digital audio outputs. There’s also a nice LAN (local area network) and USB interface, which means the TV can be hooked up to a computer, where it can act as a kind of high-tech monitor quite easily. Altogether, it’ll be very easy to hook up most any component.
The Sony KDL40W5500 is a true high definition television, and at its picture resolution is 1080p, which is now the industry-standard for high definition TVs. Many experts who have evaluated this television say that its picture display is outstanding in almost all respects, including blacks and sun-washed displays. It also has been rated excellent at video gaming duties. Many similar televisions in this segment aren’t very good at video gaming, it must be said.
Sony has also included a surround sound function within the TV, and the sound is more than acceptable. It is extremely easy to hook up a home theater system to this particular model, which most people are probably going to want to do. It also features 100 MHz motion technology functions which help to make the picture very stable under most conditions.
Understanding and appreciating the Sony KDL40W5500 LCD TV is extremely easy to do because Sony has made a flat panel liquid crystal display TV that does most everything well and not much very badly at all. If one looks at just its nice price and the picture display it puts up, it’s easy to see why the TV’s been one of the better sellers since its debut in the spring of 2009. Throw in its excellent videogaming functionality, and it’s easy to see why the TV is so easy to like.
