The Sony Bravia KDL37W5500 TV - Our View Of It

By Louis Rosenthal

If now is the time, finally the time for you to go out and buy yourself an awesome flat screen set, you could not have picked a better time to make your purchase. The Sony Bravia KDL37W5500 was launched recently and is on most people's shortlist for a thirty seven inch television.

Many are confused by Sony model numbers. There is no difference in features between the KDL37W5500U (denoting a UK three pin plug), the KDL37W550 0U (which Dixons, Currys and PC World call it) and the KDL37W5500.

The Sony KDL37W5500 is HD ready. Standard aspect ratio is 16:9 for viewing widescreen programming the way it was intended to be seen when filmed. With 1080 horizontal lines on the screen, this set is HD ready and will work wonderfully with Blu Ray Disc players or Playstation 3 to provide the best in HD images.

When it comes to delivering a sharp picture, it would be very difficult to find a television that beats the KDL37W5500. This is because the contrast ratio (The difference between the colour value of the whitest white and the darkest black) is 50, 000:1. With a ratio that high, the picture will be crisp and sharp with well defined lines where the colours change.

The Sony KDL37W5500 comes with a built in digital tuner, making it capable of tuning in up to 40 free view stations in the UK and any regular broadcast stations within range in the US. This is an important feature because the American FCC recently shut down analog television set transmissions and reassigned those frequencies to emergency services.

The KDL37W5500 comes with a built in Nicam Stereo sound system and a 20 watt audio output for the best sound possible without having to purchase a separate surround sound or home theatre system. It also includes a headphone jack for those times when only one person is interested in hearing what is on.

There are several different input jacks available on the KDL37W5500. It has one standard SCART connector and one RGB enabled SCART connector, a TV of audio video inputs for use with standard RCA composite connectors, a port for connecting a PC and using the set as a monitor, and a CI slot for upgrading to paid subscription channels.

Think you do not have room for a thirty seven inch and all of your friends in the same room? Worried that you will not have a good viewing angle with this TV set? Not so. You have a perfect viewing angle from 178 degrees with the KDL37W5500; almost any spot in the room will give you crisp and sharp images.

Your friends will love this when they crowd around to watch the games on weekends. No one will ever have a bad seat in the house. The Sony KDL37W5500 was listed as one of the top models produced for the year 2009. You will get incredible value and incredible images with this Sony model. You will have the top technology for less with the fantastic Sony name backing this product.
