My quest for a TV continues. I found myself in Currys over the weekend and they had a huge display of tellys there to have a look at. I noticed on one side of the store a Sony setup and went over to have a look. The models on show were the 40w4500, 40z4500 and I think a 46" model. All of them were playing a demo James Bond dvd that had the screen divided into two with supposed SD quality on the bottom half with HD on the top half. I've got to say that I wasn't impressed with any of them, the picture seemed very grainy to me and just a bit of a let dow. They certainly didn't look as good as the Panasonic display next to them, or in my opinion the Panasonics nearby.
I have to say that I don't have any axe to grind here and that I am a lifelong fan of Sony equipment. In fact, as I look at my set-up now I have a Sony crt TV, a Sony VCR and a Sony TV in the bedroom. I walked over to the display wanting to buy one of the two 40" TV's, but the demo looked awful. Has anyone else seen this Demo, and if so what do you think? It was so lacklustre that I asked if I could see a different Blu Ray disc,but was refused.
I'd be interested if anyone has any thoughts on this
