The BRAVIA V4000 Series LCD TV in HD Ready resolution offers excellent connectivity with 3x HDMI and BRAVIA Theatre Sync, together with the excellent picture quality you would expect from BRAVIA Engine picture processing technology.


HD Ready (1366x768) HD Ready (1366x768) To appreciate just how good a high definition picture is, it helps to know how TVs, DVDs and VHS worked in the past. Until recently, there was only one type of broadcast format – Standard definition - SD. With SD, the level of detail in the picture resolution is limited. SD has a resolution of 720 X 576, which means 576 horizontal lines of 720 pixels each. Pixels are the dots which make up a digital picture. The new HD formats boost resolution far beyond SD, giving your TV a level of clarity and detail that is absolutely breathtaking.
Integrated Digital Tuner / Freeview Integrated Digital Tuner / Freeview Having an integrated Digital Freeview Tuner means that your TV has a built in receiver that will give you access to many more channels without the need to have any additional hardware, such as a Freeview box. In 2007, the government began switching UK broadcasting to digital, so if your TV doesn’t have an integrated digital tuner feature you won’t be able to view any channel without buying the additional hardware.
BRAVIA Engine BRAVIA Engine BRAVIA Engine is the high picture performance engine used in the latest Sony LCD televisions. An original picture tuning and noise reduction process was developed by Sony to guarantee vivid and high contrast images. The complex noise reduction process enhances low contrast images until they are crisp and realistic, and processes blues, greens and whites within each frame to generate the richness and colour accuracy.
Dynamic Contrast Dynamic Contrast Contrast ratio is improved and all shades between the brightest white and the darkest blacks are maintained, so the picture has more depth and detail.

This is achieved as the backlight brightness adjusts according to the brightness of the scene. Sony’s unique dynamic contrast system features ACE (advanced contrast enhancer) which ensures all of the subtle shades of grey are maintained. The V4000 Series delivers a Dynamic Contrast Ratio of 30,000:1 (37’’ 22,000:1).
BRAVIA Theatre Sync BRAVIA Theatre Sync BRAVIA Theatre Sync is a new way of controlling Home Theatre setups. Using HDMI connections and one remote control, signals can be sent between the various units that make up the system. BRAVIA Theatre Sync is designed to cut out any complexity so you can concentrate on enjoying the movie. Just one push of a button and the audio equipment and TV are switched on, the correct inputs selected and the Blu-ray DiscTM or DVD player starts to play.
HDMI Sockets HDMI Sockets The V4000 Series has 3 x HDMI inputs (two on rear, one on side, all with CEC) make it even easier to connect to High Definition sources such as Blu-ray Disc™ and PLAYSTATION®3 ‘Sony’, ‘like.no.other’, ‘BRAVIA’, ‘BRAVIA Engine’, ‘BRAVIA Theatre Sync’ and their logos are trademarks or registered trademarks of Sony Corporation.

    Stunning upscaled SD with Virgin Media V+5
    I agree with all the positive comments but was a bit apprehensive about the way standard definiton broadcasts would look. Well I have not been disappointed - when watching SD content via Virgin Media V+, the picture is almost HD quality!

    What a TV and I am hard to please5
    Well I took the bull by the horns and finally bought a new tv, and what a tv!!
    The KDL-32v4000 is a cheap but amazing TV. Having taking it out of the box I was impressed, it is stunning!

    The other reviews have said most of what I would say like:

    easy to set up
    great screen
    fantastic sound
    all round winner

    But I want to say I have been watching football tonight and didnt notice any blurring or any thing.

    I would say if I had £360 left in my bank I would have another one in my bedroom!!!

    Really good lcd t.v.!!5
