First thought on my new Sony24EX320

[Cookie Monster]

Wow.

My trusty little Sammy 19" died so i have had to get a new upstairs telly.

Decided on a Sony 24EX320 1080p Led and am so impressed.

Picture- TV Tuner- Brilliant, Internet Functions - Same as BDP-S370 (Brilliant then), iplayer better than broadcast on some things. Wifi is fast and consistant and finds source easily. Being Led blacks, colour, depth are all great.

Best is Blu-Ray. This is not a 100htz set or Motionpro or anything in fact, yet BD movement is nigh on perfect. Thats from my 'square wheeled panning shots' PS3 too. Not a dedicated player.

Found motion struggled with games yet since i have found the game setting both movies and games are incredible. In fact i am not sure where BD movies can be improved, and see no need to improve on my PS3's movie performance regards this set up!

Sound is full bodied too for such a tiny little set.

Only negative is the stand and HDMI connectors. The HDMI sockets, aerial etc. face out rather than down so a slim Led TV needs 10cm behind for a cable to fit. Stand sits back too so you cannot push this unit close to a wall. Don't think you can wall mount either.

Still im into performance and its 10/10 from me. Free 5yr warranty too at ??349.

Oh' and if you look at pics of this set on a website it looks alright but i wasn't sure at first. But in the flesh it is great with a smart slim metallic bar at the bottom and rich black screen. It comes in 100% white too which really does look very smart indeed. One set you need to see for yourself.

Thanks for that review ! im seriously thinking about getting one as i want the internet/wifi . all i want is to put the tv in my bedroom and plug it straight into my internet router for watching tv . can this be done as i dont have an ariel and i dont want to pay extra for a virgin box in my bedroom ?

I had to plug in an aerial to complete the set up. However, i do not use an aerial upstairs, just wi-fi and my PS3. You can't get like regular BBC, ITV etc. without an aerial but you do get iplayer, Demand 5, internet browser, You Tube and others over a wi-fi or ethernet connection.

Hope that answers you're question.

As i use with a PS3 i also get ITV player and 4OD so nearly a complete basic on demand channel line up anyway.

The TV also has Qriocity both Video and Music (although sites are still down),Skype, Twitter, Facebook, internet browser, Sky News, LoveFilm and Eurosport to name a few.

Very impressed

Hi LOST,

I paid ??349 at my local Sony Centre. With the included 5yr warranty it worked out the best for value. Think John Lewis was same price though when i did a search. The set was on demo at Comet running 'Tangled' and i just had to get one.
