Sony BRAVIA S3000 LCD TV
This LCD TV is available in 20, 26, 32 & 40 inch screen sizes
If you are looking for a high quality, affordable and stylish HD Ready
LCD TV, then you should seriously consider the S3000 series. The BRAVIA S-Series
LCD TVs are HD Ready and come fully loaded with technology plus it’s ideal for use with a Sony Home Cinema system.
To appreciate just how good a high definition picture is, it helps to
know how TV’s, DVD’s and VHS worked in the past. Until recently, there
was only one type of broadcast format – Standard definition - SD. With
SD, the level of detail in the picture resolution is limited. SD has a
resolution of 720 X 576, which means 576 horizontal lines of 720 pixels
each. Pixels are the dots which make up a digital picture. The new HD
formats boost resolution far beyond SD, giving your TV a level of
clarity and detail that is absolutely breathtaking.
Having an integrated Digital Freeview Tuner means that your TV has a
built in receiver that will give you access to many more channels
without the need to have any additional hardware, such as a Freeview
box. In 2007, the government will begin switching UK broadcasting to
digital, so if your TV doesn’t have an integrated digital tuner feature
you wont be able to view any channel without buying the additional
hardware.
The S3000 LCD TV has 3 X HDMI sockets – 2 at the rear of the set and one at the side.
Your HDMI socket provides a connection point on your TV that is able to
deliver a high definition picture. Quite simply, the more HDMI sockets
that you have on your BRAVIA LCD TV, the more components you are able
to link up to for HD picture quality, for instance, a Blu-ray player,
your camcorder and your gaming console. Having the socket located in
the front of the TV means that you no longer have to get into awkward
positions or move the unit in order to gain access to the connection
point, great if you’re viewing your photos on your TV via your digital
camera.
A one touch control over your whole Home theatre set up. Simply press
the Theatre button on the TV’s remote control, the TV’s sound turns off
& the picture settings configure automatically to an optimal movie
watching mode. BRAVIA Theatre Sync cuts out the complexity so that you
can concentrate on enjoying your movie.
Live Colour Creation is a backlight system which produces a wider
colour gamut, seen particularly with the red and green areas of the
spectrum. So your TV picture will have more lifelike and natural
colours with no smudging or dulling of the image.
This picture enhancement technology ensures that the image produced on screen represents perfection.
- It
reduces colour distortion by decreasing 'cross colour', 'dot crawl' and
'moire' the sort of distortion that you get on patterns such as a
checked shirt. It cleans up the haze that you often see around
lettering such as titles or text so that they appear perfectly sharp on
screen.
- It enhances specific areas of low contrast within the image giving an overall crisp picture.
- It
smoothes the motion, preventing jagged edges and bleeding colours on
fast moving objects, ideal for sports & action sequences.
- It
matches colours, which ensures the final image is reproduced exactly as
the original source intended meaning that you see incredibly natural
colours.
Contrast ratio is improved and all shades between the brightest white
and the darkest blacks are maintained, so the picture has more depth
and detail. This is achieved as the backlight brightness adjusts
according to the brightness of the scene. Sony’s unique dynamic
contrast system features ACE (advanced contrast enhancer) which ensures
all of the subtle shades of grey are maintained.
