Sony Bravia KDL-46Z5500 46in LCD TV

The Sony KDL-46Z5500 has design flare, excellent 200Hz processing and fine HD pictures, so is there anything not to like?

Sony KDL-46Z5500 review

An accomplished all-round performance – including a decent backlight – puts this Sony up there with the very best

Impeccable motion processing ; excellent detail and punch ; impressive upscaled pictures, both from Freeview and DVD

Take the usual Sony quality, add even backlighting, and you've got a brilliant, all-round TV

Sony Bravia KDL-46Z5500 review

Sony's LCD TV ekes the best out of older backlighting technology in the face of LED competition

Black levels are a tad light ; Poor off-axis viewing

Performance is what makes this TV a winner, all the additional features are useful bonuses

Sony Bravia KDL-46Z5500 200Hz 46in LCD TV

Big, sleek and beautiful, this Bravia has a lot going for it. Even if it can't count LED backlighting among its image boosters, it's a great performer.

Sony’s TVs regularly offer stylish design, effectively implemented innovations and striking picture quality. And all that's true here. But this is a pricey TV and the attention-grabbing LED backlighting of rival sets may attract you instead. Despite...

Sony Bravia KDL46Z5500

Boasting improved design and an upgraded picture engine, the Sony Bravia KDL46Z5500 is perfect for watching the World Cup on. Which Cup is up to you.

Excellent black levels. Detailed images. 200Hz is suited to sport. DLNA streaming onboard.

DVD replay could be better. 200Hz is poor with non-broadcast sources.

Sony KDL-46Z5500

Picture quality is stunning, and it looks great. Fairly easy to install and set up.

Mediocre sound, so we use a surround sound system. A pity that HDMI inputs can not be configured to switch the TV to the input device selected (as happens with SCART).
