There is a huge range of Sony Bravia LCD TV’s and the KDL32W550 0U is one of these, and they are at the top of the range. Although the 1920x1080p Full HD panel is now pretty standard, the “W” series displays was one of the first.

These feature full LCD television sets are very affordable and this particular KDL32W550 0U model has 4 HDMI inputs as well as Applicast, which enables the unit to be connected to the internet. A USB port allows for handling of all types of photo, video or music files and it also comes with an Ethernet jack with which DLNA PC files can be stored, or can be used for the Applicast service.

100Hz Motionflow technology, together with engine imaging from the Bravia range makes for a brilliant, quality TV. Retailers are moving these KDL32W550 0U televisions fast at really great prices and this is part of the charm of buying this top of the range set. Everyone wants one, because they know they are getting a good deal!

The attractively framed KDL32W550 0U screen is a generous 32″ and is more than adequate, it looks more compact because of the glossy black bevel surround. Take care of scratching, although the tv does come packed with protective covers on the scratchable surfaces. These glossy surfaces look good, but much like mobile phones which are also packed with protective coverings they also get scratched with heavy use.

Even though it has a 32″ screen the KDL32W550 0U is still a compact unit. It also have a smallish footprint, so for TV shoppers who have limited space it may be good option. It also looks more compact than it is, so it won’t create clutter, or look over-imposing with your TV room decor. Some reviews have said they prefer the way the 32E5500 looks, but I don’t. I prefer the “W” model.

Most of the menus on Sony Televisions are of the “Wega Gate” variety, the KDL32W550 0U differs in that the menu is represented by icons. These closely resemble the icons used by the Playstation 3. It is a far more inventive user interface, I like it but others may disagree and might prefer the more traditional type of menu with a faster response time.

Getting used to the KDL32W550 0U menu may be difficult to get used to for the traditional menu user. Take my father for example, he thinks my TV is so advanced it doesn’t need a remote. I just don’t tell him that I have hidden it so he can’ meddle with my settings. You know what men are like with remote controls!

The video processor on the Sony Bravia KDL32W550 0U works fine as far as I am concerned, I don’t really know much about the technicalities of this. So read the tech specs if you want to know more. Mine works, the picture is fine and I get a fantastic quality picture with videos and DVD’s on Thursday night Chick Flick night, so I am more than happy!

The Sony Bravia KDL32W550 0U is a great top of the range Sony model, it works perfectly with my decor and was exactly the right price for me. It blends well with my modern/art deco style furniture, and fits beautifully into the corner that has been awaiting its arrival.

The Toshiba Regza 32RV635DB TV As Good As it Seems?

I’ve been asked to study the Toshiba 32RV635DB. This is the UK version of Toshiba’s broadly well-liked and best selling TV model 32RV635. Things sure have come a long way in a pretty short period of time with technology.

The latest technology that is available with the latest HDTVs is amazing. I’ve reviewed the Toshiba TV 32RV635DB one of the most highly regarded of recent models.

The 32RV635DB is a 3 pin British version of the 32RV635. It is in all other respects identical and all references to the DB version will also pertain to the other.

The 32RV635DB sports an impressive 32 inch wide screen display that produces the best images for a distance of eight to ten feet from the TV. Unlike many other models, this television has a cabinet design that helps it become one with your room and home, not just another piece of electronics that sticks out like a sore thumb.

If you were planning on doing some high speed, high action, high end gaming, the 32RV635DB is not the HDTV for you. This isn’t saying anything bad about this model, it’s just not really up to par for serious gaming. Fine for Wii games or similar games, though.

All of the Toshiba RV televisions come with a planet friendly perk. You can actually reach to the back of the set and throw a switch that will help you be a better environmentally conscious citizen. The switch in question allows you to cut back the typical 3 watt an hour power usage while not in use to under 1 watt per hour when in standby. Why would anyone not throw the switch? You’ll be helping the planet by reducing your carbon footprint with the 32RV635DB.

There was a significant change made for the Toshiba 32RV635DB when it was introduced. The GUI (graphic user interface) has completely changed. Their menu screens are much more user friendly and the icons and fonts have really been upgraded. Unlike many other menus, you won’t be squinting and trying to focus to figure out what you’re doing on the menu. The colours are sharp and crisp and make the options easy to read.

You will have to keep an eye on the aspect ratio setting. The easiest thing to do is to check it when you turn the set on.

The TV did demonstrate some overdrive errors and colour smearing during more technical testing. The end result was that the 32RV635DB is excellent for passive viewing of television programmeming in standard or high definition modes, but may not be able to keep up with 60p computer games.

The 32RV635DB has incredible viewing from nearly any angle. From the extreme sides viewing can lead to a bit of distortion but that can be said of most HDTV’s. There is a sharpness that is incomparable with a 1 to 1 pixel mapping that’s standard on the 32RV635DB.

This isn’t a high end High Definition TV, keep that in mind. If you’re an avid gamer, the 32RV635DB isn’t for you.

You will have to mess with the settings a bit to get the perfect colour and image quality, but it is possible to achieve. You’ll be thrilled with the crispness of the images that the Toshiba Regza 32RV635DB produces.
