Let's face it: Sony might never tire out of the same old glossy black finish. You guessed it, the
Sony KDL-37W5500 37” LCD TV has the clichéd glossy black finish that we're so bored of. The transparent strip at the bottom edge of the screen is present, though, saving you from the boredom. Oh well, there are some things in life that you just accept with a sigh. But let me tell you, the design of this TV is neither gaudy nor ugly, some might even call it classy, its just plain boring to me. (Am I mean today or what!! God help this TV!) Right then, charging straight into the performance, I must say the KDL-37W5500 defeated my mean stint.
Yes, this
Full HD LCD TV does not lack visibly enough anywhere. As a matter of fact, Sony's 'greyish tone' trouble that seemed to haunt it was no where to be seen in the KDL-37W5500. Bravo, it is. 'Experience picture so fluid and life-like' says Sony. And fluid and life-like it is. Isn't the presence of Motionflow 100Hz technology enough to assure this? But then it makes one wonder if the exclusion of this processing technology would have had any visible impact in motion handling. Weird. Sony's BRAVIA ENGINE adds more life to colours, giving the overall picture a facelift.
Blu-Ray movies are rendered to perfection, that too with the inclusion of the 24p True Cinema feature. The connectivity sector of the KDL-37W5500 is headed by 4 HDMIs, a USB 2.0 Input and AppliCast using which we can view content from the internet in the 37” TV screen. This 37 incher costs around £750, which is alarming, because a
Samsung LCD TV of the same size could cost you just £400.
