Among Sony’s LCD TV line-ups of 2009, is the Sony KDL-37S5500 37” LCD TV. The design of this TV is rather simple, something which a few out there would prefer, rather than the high-end, futuristic design. The resolution of this TV is 1920 x 1080, and it has a claimed dynamic contrast ratio of 33000:1. Whether you are happy with this TV’s performance or not depends on the way you see it. If you approach it with a lot of expectation that Sony has driven us towards, then you might be a little disappointed. But then, being fair to it, when you compare it with others that fall almost under the same price tag,(almost £620) the picture quality can be said to be ‘decent’. It has BRAVIA ENGINE 2, and one sure does miss the BRAVIA ENGINE 3. But then, it must be said that BRAVIA ENGINE 2 renders HD picture with adequate sharpness.
HDMIs are 3 in number in this Full HD 1080 BRAVIA LCD TV, and it features 24p True Cinema, meant for a pleasurable movie-watching experience at home. USB Photo Viewer is there in this LCD TV, and it also has Music Player. Black levels again, are not all that upto the mark, leaving the darker shades of the picture look annoyingly greyish. Eco Settings of this TV is worthy of appreciation, for this includes a set of functions that claim to consume less power.
‘Scene Select’ function of the KDL-37S5500 adjusts the picture automatically to go well with the picture being played. For example, Sports, Cinema etc. Weighing about 16.5 kg, and having a power consumption of less than 0.3, the Sony KDL-37S5500 LCD TV, though not exceptionally good, is decent enough when compared to others of it’s kind in the market.
