Welcome to the 21st Century, 25 Jun 2011

I love my new TV - I feel like I've joined the 21st century! It was much easier to set up and connect to my wifi than I expected, this was up and running within minutes. The picture quality is excellent, so much clearer than my old CRT TV and the sound is fine for a small TV. I was surprised how good the quality of the picture is when watching BBC iPlayer - it's just as good as normal TV although I understand this will depend on your connection speed - I'm lucky that mine is quite fast.

With the wifi you can also connect to other devices - my phone was in the same room with its wifi turned on and I was a bit creeped out to see all my phone music show up on the TV menu, a nice option to play your music if you want to.

You can also browse the internet, although this feature is a bit clunky as you're relying on arrows on the remote to scroll between links. For typing you're using the numbers on the remote like you would on a phone. Another useful feature is being able record programmes onto a USB although I haven't tried this yet.

All in all, this is so much more than a TV. This TV is in my bedroom, I think I'm going to have to upgrade my main one too!

Best TV i have ever had, 2 July 2011

This review is from: Sony KDL26EX320BU 26-inch Widescreen HD Ready Edge LED Internet TV with Freeview (Electronics)

I have had many TV's in the past, I have one of the first Plasma's, one of the first LCD's and have 2 further LG LCD's with combined Freeview and now have this 26" LED television from Sony.

I recently purchased from Amazon an Western Digital WD Live box so i could use iPlayer and stream moving from my Network Attached Storage ahich cost £70. I never got around to using this box as i purchased this TV which has the capability straight out the box.

The Setup is very simple, I have to disagree with the other review. Wireless works really well but that will depend on conditions like quality of your wirless router and location. Mine is under the stairs and the TV is in the bedrooom. I have taken many of my sons DVD's and encoded to MPEG4 which play fautlessly. The TV had youtube and iplayer plus many others and these work great too. I have had the TV for 2 weeks now and cant say i have any issue. Sometimes streaming videos the connection is lost but then it is wireless so no different to when doing the same from a laptop.

The Sound, people say LED TV is rubbish, i would again disagree. I was pleasantly suprised by the quality of the sound. Ok, its not as good as my Panasonic Viera Plasma or my LG LCD but what do you expect with a tv that is only a few centimetres thick. I purchased a £25 2.1 subwoofer speaker set and this really enhances this for movies. The good thing about this is you can plug in this set but not have to use all the time as you can configure the TV to use both the 3.5mm jack and the TV speaker which you could not do with my LCD sets - it had to be one of thte other.

So in summary this tv is perfect for the bedroom, fo your main living area i would suggest an external speaker system. Sony are constantly updating the firmware and adding new features so thats good. I plan to convert my complete DVD collection now to MPEG4 store on my network attached storage. The TV also plays file direct from USB drive and again this works great. The viewing angle is brilliant unlike my LG where when you lay on the bed the screen went darker.

The only disapoinment from what i can see so far is that there is no ITV/Channel 4 Net player and the web browser does not support some Web page media frames so basically the boxes do not play. I am so happy with this i now plan to purchase a second to replace my LG LCD.

Great TV, Wrongly advertised, 7 April 2011

This review is from: Sony KDL22EX320BU 22-inch Widescreen HD Ready Edge LED Internet TV with Freeview (Electronics)

I have just taken delivery of a Sony KDL22EX320BU LED Edge Lit TV, I had done some research as I wanted a small screen TV capable of Internet and Freeview HD. When I saw the spec. for this tv on another website I noticed it was quoted as having a Freeview HD tuner, I checked a number of other sites and 4 out of 5 confirmed this "fact", so I parted with the cash. I even called the seller Hughes Direct to double check the spec. On delivery I took out the instruction booklet and checked, needless to say the not so easy to understand document does say that all tvs in the EX range are Freeview HD...EXCEPT the 24 and 22 inch..bummer. Also the tv only has 2 HDMI inputs and 1 Scart input.
On the bright side it does have a great picture, and intelligently upscales whatever input your have. The internet setup (wired) was easy and seems pretty good so far. I have kept the item even though wrongly advertised, Hughes were very good and offered a full refund.
Personally I think Sony should write clearer specs. for their kit, it was not easy to find this info out.
When I looked I could not find this TV on the Sony website hence my double checking specs. before purchase.

If anyone finds a Freeview HD, 1080p, Internet TV for sale in 22 or 24 inch pls shout!
