The new Sony KDL 32ex503 is a stylish contemporary looking LCD television which has full Hi Def and built in Freeview . The piano black glossy finish is hardly original but looks striking and classy , and will compliment any living room . It is also Wi-Fi ready – so it’s simple to join your wireless network , as well as expulsion of all the wires – which are a potential health hazard, messy and just generally annoying.
The picture quality is superb . The BRAVIA ENGINE 3 creates images with more detail and natural colour tones . The KDL32EX503 has a screen res of 1920 x 1080 pixels and Motionflow 100Hz technology using Image Blur Reduction that makes watching movies and playing games significantly clearer. The full HD incorporated in this LCD means that the image quality has 500% more detail than a standard definition television .
There’s a lot of settings and features to play with; the ability to stream video , music and photos is possible with the DLNA technology. It is now simpler to browse TV functions due to the XrossMediaBar menu interface , inspired by PLAYSTATION 3. The Eco setting allows you to minimise power useage – helping to save the environment, at the same time as reducing your electric bills. Cinema mode offers a cinematic experience at home , and with BRAVIA internet video you can now connect directly to the net and enjoy the use of online services such as sports and news .
It’s not just the stunning picture which makes this TV so special – with the Sony S-Force Front Surround audio system you get full digital surround sound. The speakers are fully intergrated and the sound is extremely crisp and clear with ample bass – giving movies a more cinema like experience .
The connections are more than adequate with four HDMI ports (two side, two rear) for gaming and Blu-Ray discs etc , USB ports , and a PC connection .
