Sony Bravia KDL26L4000U 26" Widescreen HD Ready LCD TV with Freeview This Tv is perfect for my requirements. I hesitated a lot between this and the 32 size which has higher specs and is cheaper (amazing) and has rave reviews. However I dont really want a TV that is too big to carry and I really dont like the 'piano black' that a lot of other models have. This TV has a sophosticated matt black (a bit glossy) finish which is perfect for watching films with the lights lowered, the matt finish becaomes part of teh shadows. I understand 'piano black' is difficult to keep clean too. Its Ok for a young family or a couple perhaps who need a big Tv as a centrepiece but I want mine to be a bit less obstrusive. I note too that the 'subtitle' function is easy to access. I was worried it might have inferior performance because the contrast ration is half (15000) that of the V series (including the 32 size which is cheaper). But i needent have worried. It really is a lovely Tv, easy to handle. A doddle to set up. the design is lovely too, all black except the thin silver line at the bottom. Very classy. thanks Sony and Amazon.

Pretty good value for money, the picture and sound are both excellent.
After acouple of months use I am happy I made a good decision.

I hesitated for a few weeks before buying this TV and was trying to decide between this Sony and a Panasonic. I eventually went for the Sony as reviews told me that picture and sound quality were better.

I have only been using this television for one week now but I can say that I am delighted with it. The picture was great to start with - but I did choose to adjust colour intensity and sharpness slightly (nice that I can do that) and it is superb now. Available sound volume is plenty for me - and I am deaf. I found it easy to set up and use, although I have a few minor gripes about the design of the remote control. All in all a great TV - which I would recommend to anyone. Looks sexy too!

Superb picture quality, excellent sound and the usual sturdy Sony build.

My only gripe is that there isn't a short-cut on the remote control unit to quickly activate/de-activate sub-titles without going through the lengthy menu. However, this cannot detract from a very worthy 5-star rating.

Ideal for smaller houses or flats as screen not too large. Colour is fantastic and TV looks and is quality. Easy set up and works with sky remote so no need for multiple remotes hanging around. Would recommend to anyone looking to purchase a high quality LCD TV.
