top class
(5 out of 5) by Richard on Jul 28, 2008 (Carlisle, Cumbria United Kingdom)I have used a Samsung series 5 40" 1080p tv which is superb but this has little tricks that make it a better TV overall.
I have loyalty to Sony after years of adoring my stunning 100hz Trinitron, so i tried this big 46" and boy what a great call.
HD gameplay is amazing stuff - i mean XBOX360 (and PS3 too) titles such as Assassin's Creed, PRG4 etc look like a very high-end PC with this - trust me, i know PCs and i can't believe how good these titles look in 1080p. It's so much better than 480p as to be a totally different experience.
But when it comes to a mixture of SD sources, it is harder for a TV engine to sort things out. Some are great in HD but tear a SD signal to shreds......Well this Bravia absolutley excels here. Firstly, the Theatre Mode is a one-stop shop for excellent viewing of films - no gimmicks here; it really works wonders.
Also, set up is easy and just works well - different sources are easily adjusted. The auto-adjusting settings (with light-meter on front) are very good at tweaking settings when you draw the curtains/ switch off lights etc - nice touch
Sound is fine but mine goes through 5.1 anyway.
A top-class piece of kit - steal of the century at £850
Couldn't be more pleased, and that is comparing it to the very highly-regarded Samsung!
Hope this helps

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(5 out of 5) by Crazy Cy on Sep 24, 2008 (London)Do not trust the 3 star review on this page... They are not the most observant of people!!! This TV is amazing! I can't believe there aren't more reviews - Is anyone buying it?!?! It's an absolute steal at this price! You will not be disappointed - especially if you have a blu-ray/ps3/360 - It shines!!!!

Cutomers beware!!
(3 out of 5) by Mrs. Michelle Brown on Sep 2, 2008 (UK)I am sure that the television would have been perfect. However Amazon had sent out the wrong model twice! Sendin us a Sony KDLD3500 (without the U).
I do however have to praise Amazon for dealing with this and they have arranged for collection very quickly of the televisions.
