Pros: Stunning pictures, great features and competitive price

Cons: AppliCast web apps are average at best

Verdict: A killer HD TV loaded up with great features, good looks and enough to keep you entertained this winter

Review summary: The Sony Bravia KDL-46W5500 is a 46-inch Full HD LCD telly with 100Hz motion control, a tonne of picture processing features, 24p Cinema mode, eco settings and four HDMI ports.

Cons: No, colours aren't as rich nor blacks as solid as those on the LED-powered 46X4500, but that particular vixen costs twice as much as this foxy lady. Don't expect too much from AppliCast web apps either – the cheesy calculator, clock and FAQ widgets ...

Verdict: Sony's tellies are marching proudly towards a new golden age, matching superb visuals with surprisingly affordable price-tags. Hardly budget priced but a bargain nonetheless.

Verdict: If you're looking for a mid-size LCD television, the Sony Bravia KDL32W5500 is king of the bunch. It comes with a higher price tag than we would have liked, but if you want the pedigree you'll have to pay for it.
