KDL52V5500U Description

A BRAVIA LCD TV is no ordinary television. Design is sleeker, pictures are brighter, details clearer. All BRAVIA televisions are HD Ready as a minimum, with up to 4 HDMI connections, and come with an integrated digital tuner so there is no need for a set-top box to view Freeview TV and radio channels. Most of the BRAVIA LCD TVs feature BRAVIA Sync technology, it takes just one button to turn on your entire Sony home entertainment system, while XrossMediaBar helps you navigate your TV easily with its best-in-class menu screen. After all advanced technology should simply mean technology that does more for you.

Packed with the latest Sony technology, the BRAVIA V5500 lets you experience HD entertainment in all its glory. BRAVIA ENGINE 3 digital processing delivers excellent image quality, with vivid colours and sharper edges. It’s DLNA-enabled, allowing it to become the hub of a home network of other compatible devices, so you can enjoy all your music, video and pictures on a whole new level. Meanwhile, a built-in USB Media Player enables you to connect other devices to your TV screen. Plus you can use the AppliCast™ feature to check on-screen RSS feeds of news and other information while you’re watching your favourite programmes.

High Definition lets you enjoy home entertainment with stunning picture quality and sound. The BRAVIA V5500 goes way beyond the specification of an HD ready TV: its screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 can accept Full HD1080p/24p input signals with no downscaling. In a nutshell, the more pixels you have, the better the resolution, the finer the detail – and the more amazing the experience.

Specifically, it analyses each individual scene, controlling the peak brightness level to generate advanced colour and brightness, and optimising the noise level. It also detects and adjusts the overall colour distribution of each frame and smoothes diagonal lines of pixels in fast-moving pictures to prevent jagged edges and bleeding colours.

So now it’s easy to move files between your TV, PC, printer, music player, phone, camera and more, wherever they are in the home. By integrating your TV into a home network, either wirelessly or via a cable, you can use your BRAVIA remote to find photos on the DLNA-enabled laptop in your bedroom and call them up to your living room TV screen. If you want hard copies, just send them to print on the colour printer in your spare room.

The BRAVIA V5500 also comes with a built-in USB Media Player that means you can connect devices directly to your TV. Content from your USB device is transferred directly to your BRAVIA TV, so you can listen to songs, see a slideshow of your favourite pictures or your latest home video clips.

TX-P50X10B Description

For stunning picture quality a plasma TV is the natural choice. Panasonic VIERA plasma TVs are renowned for their outstanding picture performance especially in regards to sporting events, action movies and gaming content.
Best motion picture reproduction

All Panasonic plasma TVs are equipped with 100Hz technology. This superb technology doubles the output frame rate, meaning the gaps of time between image frames are lessened. The more frames inserted, the smoother the overall imaging will be for the human eye. The 100Hz technology is a major benefit to you as it aids in creating flicker-less moving images.

With plasma technology, every pixel comprises three separate sub-pixel cells, each with different coloured phosphors – red, green and blue (RGB). These colours are blended together to create the overall colour of the pixel and are controlled by the level of electric current flowing through them. Plasma technology can display billions of differing combinations of RGB – providing a wide range of natural colours.

Plasma TVs can present moving objects without loss of crispness or detail. Plasma technology needs only one impulse per pixel to produce an image. Its response time is only 0,001 msec. which is a thousand times faster compared to other technologies making Plasma TVs perfect for gaming.

Because plasma TVs are using hundreds of self-illuminating cells instead of cathode fluorescent lamps, where a permanent backlight shines, plasma TVs are able to control the brightness of each individual pixel which enables them to achieve tones by switching off/on each individual pixel. The result is a very realistic picture that has a dynamic contrast ratio of 1.000.000:1 which other technologies with permanent backlight can not achieve.

Plasma TVs can actually be watched from very wide viewing angles without any significant loss in picture quality (colours, contrast, shadowing, etc.). This is in thanks to the ingenious way that plasma TVs emit light directly from each of their screen cells or pixels. Guaranteed, everyone watching the plasma TV will have the best seat in the house!

All Panasonic VIERA plasma TVs are protected by a front sheet of glass resistant to impacts of up to four joules. This is particularly reassuring for families with small children and energetic gamers!

The advanced ultra-slim speaker units not only benefit the overall aesthetics of the VIERA TV, but also deliver sounds all the way down to 350Hz – the kind of deep sounds which would normally be handled by a woofer in conventional systems. Even with its narrow aperture, the new speakers unit has superb directional characteristics, so everyone in the room enjoys outstanding sound quality.

The woofers use an enhanced passive radiator system to deliver and incredibly deep, clear sound. Using asymmetrical, contoured edges to prevent harmonic distortion that can occur with conventional passive radiator systems, this enhanced system delivers clearer sound than bass reflex systems of the same size.

Using only the VIERA Remote Control it is possible to operate and control your DIGA DVD Recorder, Blu-ray Disc Player, or HD Camcorder. At the touch of a button, you are simply and easily able to playback a previously recorded programme, record a future broadcast, or even pause live TV if you have DIGA DVD Recorder attached to your VIERA via HDMI. Similarly you can play back a film in glorious Full HD quality using your connected Blu-ray Disc Player using just your VIERA remote. Even your Panasonic HD Camcorder can be operated, when attached to your VIERA, using only the same VIERA remote control! Say goodbye to the confusion and hassle of switching between several different remote control units – it doesn’t get any easier than this.
