Sony KDL52W3000: Review

Posted to Televisions 2008-06-09

The Sony KDL52W3000 is one of the latest LCD models within Sony's Bravia HDTV series. Offering you 52 inches (diagonal measurement) of high definition and picture perfect television viewing, the KDL 52W3000 will impress. The brushed metal cabinet finish also adds a lot of class to this LCD panel.

Loaded with premium features such as the Motionflow 120z high frame rate technology, there is no need to worry about motion blurriness anymore and you can watch your favorite sports without missing a single shot, hit, goal, or pass. Or, if sports don't grab you… no worries about missing that bumbled dance move that got your favorite contestant booted either.

Rating:

4.8 out of 5

Features

With a progressive scanning system and a built in broadcast system of ATSC and NTSC you don't need to worry about manually finding your high definition channels. With a resolution of 1920 X 1080 and 450 cd/m2 of color brightness, the colors will pop off the screen at you. The angle of view of 178 degrees will allow you to see the screen from virtually anywhere in the room.

Performance

The ability to enjoy your favorite television shows, sports events and movies in 10-bit quality (64 times the level of color expression) provides performance that is best-in-class. Not only is the high definition 1080p (progressive) resolution, the best available and well worth the price, but keep in mind that the Bravia EX engine also up-converts even 480i (interlaced) DVDs or regular television broadcasts.

Summary

The Sony KDL52W3000 is a television anyone would be proud to own especially during the Super bowl. You will be the most popular person in town with this 95-pound beauty of pure entertainment pleasure proudly displayed in your home. Set in on a stand or mount it to the wall as the package includes wall mounting brackets and a tabletop stand. To truly appreciate the magnificence of this television you need to see the picture and hear the sound.
