The Sony Bravia KDL37W5500 TV As Good As it Seems?

By Harvey Underwood

When you are in the market for a new flat screen TV and you are looking for a TV set that has high quality pictures from around ten feet away, a 37" screen is your best bet. If you like rich pictures and lots of features from your TV set, the Sony KDL37W550O shines through.

Model numbers are confusing. It is sometime called KDL37W5500U, the U denoting that it has a UK 3 pin plug. In addition, there is no difference between the KDL37W5500 and the KDL37W550 0U, which Currys and Dixons call it.

The Sony KDL37W5500 is HD ready. Standard aspect ratio is 16:9 for viewing widescreen programming the way it was intended to be seen when filmed. With 1080 horizontal lines on the screen, this television set is HD ready and will work wonderfully with Blu Ray Disc players or Playstation 3 to provide the best in HD images.

Many times when you go with a large flat screen, you lose quality and crispness. The KDL37W5500 gives you clean, sleek design and super sharp pictures thanks to its 50, 000 to 1 contrast ratio. Contrast ratio gives the difference from the whitest of the white colours in an image to the very darkest ones.

The Sony Bravia KDL37W5500 comes with a built in tuner. Having a built in tuner is a blessing, giving you the capability to pick up over thirty free channels of viewing pleasure in the UK and many network channels in the United States, too. There are new rules in place with the US FCC, regarding the disbursement of signals. No longer do television stations release and broadcast images over analog lines, these lines are now reserved for emergency uses only.

The KDL37W5500 comes with a built in Nicam Stereo sound system and a 20 watt audio output for the best sound possible without having to purchase a separate surround sound or home theatre system. It also includes a headphone jack for those times when only one person is interested in hearing what is on.

You will not be short on input jacks with the KDL37W5500. There is a standard S Cart connector and an RGB enabled S Cart connector, a set of audio inputs that you can use with a RCA composite connector and a port to connect your personal computer, enabling you to use the screen as a monitor for your system. There is also a CI slot that allows you to upgrade for the subscription pay channels you like.

Think you do not have room for a 37 inch and all of your friends in the same room? Worried that you will not have a good viewing angle with this television set? Not so. You have a perfect viewing angle from 178 degrees with the KDL37W5500; almost any spot in the room will give you crisp and sharp images.

Your friends will love this when they crowd around to watch the games on weekends. No one will ever have a bad seat in the house. The Sony KDL37W5500 was listed as one of the top models produced for the year 2009. You will get incredible value and incredible images with this Sony model. You will have the top technology for less with the fantastic Sony name backing this product.
