This model has is the upgraded model 40W5500 (Sony have added a Freesat tuner), which has great reviews almost everywhere you look. Here is the review regarded as most helpful by Amazon consumers:
Just thought I’d pen an early review after an evening’s play! This is my first flat screen which i ordered 2 weeks ago after much research on the older sony models W4500. Took the plunge with no official reviews.
Firstly, as the others have said, first class delivery, Amazon ! Free super saver del. arrived day after release! Glad I went with Amazon now instead of others as price was good as well.
Now the TV – Very impressed with all the connections available and multi-media capabilities (not yet tried out). Haven’t noticed clouding issues yet as with other sony models. discovered “picture-in-picture” function – great for watching sky HD cricket and BBC news etc at the same time!
Digital freeview took twice to set up – missed it first time, but easy enough to navigate to set up again – now I can get many freeview channels even with my normal rooftop aerial.
Sky HD channels definitely more detailed than normal – sports like cricket looks v sharp and un-blurry.
Wii with component cable looks impressive!
Have to slowly try out the rest of the functions which i’m sure will be just as good…
