The Sony Bravia KDL-46V2500 Is A High Quality LCD HDTV With Jaw Dropping Visuals


The 46" Sony Bravia KDL-46V2500 LCD HDTV is a great set just like the smaller 40" 40V2500. The picture is excellent out of the box but some recommend turning off the vivid setting and set it to neutral and then tweak the HDTV to perfection. The colors are incredible and breathtaking. Playing video games with the Xbox 360 or PS3 is beautiful and watching Blu-Ray movies in 1080p is just jaw dropping. There is a reason why Sonys cost more and the difference in quality is worth the difference in price.

The price for the Sony Bravia KDL-46V2500 LCD HDTV has dropped considerably as of this review so it can now compete against other brands if you're on a budget. If you're hesitant to pay for the more expensive and elegant XBR models, then the V-Series is the model to get. The XBR definitely looks better aesthetically, but performance wise you will not notice much difference unless you're an HDTV expert. The 46V2500 uses the same LCD panel as the XBR series.

Watching HD Sony Bravia KDL-46V2500 LCD HDTV set is amazing, but most programs have not made the leap to HD yet. However, standard display is not bad and watchable compared to other HDTVs where it is absolutely horrible to look at anything non-HD. This set should hold you over until you get HD programming or until most programs switch to 1080p.

There have been some complaints on "fogginess" or "clouds" when the TV is displaying dark scenes. Some people cannot stand it and it is a deal breaker for them, but some people can tolerate it and consider it only a minor annoyance that is outweighed by the stunning picture quality. This problem does not seem to be appearing on every KDL-46V2500 however because a lot of people haven't noticed the problem. It has also been reported that the fogginess has been fixed on models manufactured after December 6th 2007 so you should be fine if you buy a brand new one now, but double check to make sure.

The internal sound from the KDL-46V2500 is nice and clear and very good for a TV which is rare. The menu is also nice and intuitive and the remote control is okay, but may feel a little cheap. You'll most likely get a universal remote anyway. Who has time to juggle multiple remote controls?

If you plan to watch DVD's on the Bravia KDL-46V2500 LCD HDTV, I suggest you get an up-converting DVD player like Sony's DVP-NS77H/B 1080p Upscaling DVD Player with HDMI Output. The quality is so much better than regular DVD players and almost looks HD. I also suggest watching DVDs with widescreen format instead of fullscreen because the TV will distort and stretch the image and there are no settings around it.

Overall, the Sony Bravia KDL-46V2500 is a high quality LCD HDTV with jaw dropping visuals. Playing video games and watching movies will constantly wow you and your friends. If you're looking for a great LCD TV at the right price, this set may be it. You'll get Sony quality television with price that can compete with the Samsungs and Toshibas. I definitely recommend this.
