A Brave New Future with the Sony Bravia HD TV
Sony has been an industry leader in consumer electronics, and
the company is certainly well-known for its introduction of the very first
personal portable cassette player - the Walkman. However, Sony has suffered
some missteps in the past; having made some mistakes such as trying to promote
the clunky Betamax format or creating the much maligned Bean MP3 player. Still,
Sony has undeniably had a lot of success as well. The company is a major player
in the video game industry with its Playstation consoles, and Sony TVs have
always been a mainstay. Although things have been a bit rocky for the company
in recent years, sales of their TVs have been strong of late. There are several
models to choose from.
Television for Him and Her
Sony Bravia HD TVs (formerly named the Wega) are some of the
company's most recent products, and you're sure to find a Sony HD TV that's
right for you! Although these Sony LCD HD TVs were initially somewhat
high-priced, they are somewhat more reasonable now. The Sony Bravia KDL-V40XBR1
is a 40-inch model that retails for close to $2200. Regardless, they do provide
some of the best pictures that you can get on a LCD TV. Although LCD HD TVs may
not quite be able to compete with plasma HD TV, Sony has certainly done a nice
job with the rebranded Bravia line. At cnet.com, the Sony Bravia KDL-V40XBR1 HD
TV got a rating of 7.7 from the editors on a ten-point scale. The Sony Bravia
KDL-V40XBR1 also had an average user rating of 8.4 (from 87 users).
The editorial review made a point of mentioning that the Sony
Bravia KDL-V40XBR1 has only one HDMI input, instead of two as you would find on
similar HD TVs. Of course, you may want to look for something other than a Sony
Bravia HD TV if LCD HD TVs don't really cut it for you. Unfortunately, Sony got
out of the plasma HD TV market, so you might want to try seeeing if there's a
Toshiba or Panasonic model that is right for you. Sony may have its work cut
out for it if it wants to regain its dominance in TV sales and other areas, but
don't count them out. However, just take a look at a Sony Bravia HD TV, and you
might be pleasantly surprised by the quality.
