Sony Bravia KDL-40Z5800 LCD TV Reviewed.

Posted on | November 14, 2009 | No Comments

TechRadar gave the 40 inch Sony Bravia KDL-40Z5800 a review very recently (if you read cheap televisions often this is one of the LCD TVs with built-in FreeSat we reported on last week). We’ve been waiting a while to see what the tech critics made of the Bravia KDL-40Z5800 and we didn’t have to wait long . It looks like a good LCD television too getting 5 out of 5 stars in their review.

One thing worth mentioning is TechRadar did say “you’d probably be better going for one of Panasonic’s plasma-based Freesat TVs instead” now I am a big fan of plasma televisions so I could twist this lol, but they are referring to the wide viewing angles. No LCD or LED TV copes well when your not looking directly at them. Would be nice to know if OLED technology would solve the problem too! If that doesn’t bother you and your still not convinced about going plasma and have the finance to afford it then the Sony Bravia KDL-40X5800 LCD TV is probably the television for you. The built-in FreeSat is another good thing to have (and Sony are still installing this for free at the moment).

The TechRadar Verdict said “Despite carrying a slightly high price tag that inevitably forces us to look more keenly at its failings, the 40Z5500 remains overall a really terrific TV thanks to the way it combines the clutter-busting appeal of the built-in Freesat tuner with a totally uncompromising stack of picture processing which results in some of the very finest picture quality yet seen from an LCD TV.”.
