Strengths: This tv offers everything you could want...great picture, great sound, easy operation, etc.
Weakness: Haven't found one yet, although programs not broadcast in HD sometimes looked "stretched" in widescreen format.
We did a lot of shopping around before selecting this set. It has wonderful clarity of picture, even when viewed from a hard angle or from the side. Switches from widescreen to "normal" with the touch of a button. Remote is easy to navigate. Need to buy special cables for hook up of tv to other components (DVD, stereo, etc.), which can be pricey. We had to buy both "component" cables and...
Strengths: Picture Quality with HD content. Menu'ing system is very slick. Plenty of ways to plug devices into this TV.
Weakness: Scaling from standard definition sources is a little grainy but that is expected.
Background: We are upgrading from an old 26 inch Magnavox television. This is definitely a step up from what we are use to. In addition to purchasing this TV we also upgraded our cable to HD channels. (This is a must for this TV. It took 1 day to realize this after watching standard definition channels on this TV) The picture quality from the standard cable source is a little grainy and you can...
Strengths: 3 HDMI inputs, 1080P PC Input, Dynamic contrast ratio of 18,000:1, Xross Media Bar Menu system (very stylish menu, looks just like PSP), 8ms refresh rate
Weakness: Auto-dimming feature (more in review below)
Bluray's look incredible!!! Black levels are fantastic for an LCD after some minor tweaking. HD channels are immersive. I have owned the 46V2500, 46v3000 and now the 46W3000. Comparing all of the sets, the W3000 is above and beyond the nicest of the three in picture quality, features and overall look. Negative: In order to correct backlight "clouding" as previously seen on some sony LCD's there...
Strengths: Sleek Design, Great High Def Picture, good menus, great number of inputs, 1.3 HDMI, 24p, Color, 1080p
Weakness: Standard Def picture, movie motion
This is a great TV. I researched TVs for about 3 years and finally pulled the trigger on this one. I was going to get the V2500 but held out for this one. Worth the wait. I have it hooked up to a PS3, games, movies are both great. I also have a comcast high def DVR - which has a good deal of 1080i channels. Overall very pleased.
Strengths: Picture and audio quality. Perceived reliability
Weakness: Other than price, none apparent
We had previously purchased a 37" Vizio LCD from Sam's Club for the bedroom. The picture quality was good, but we wanted a step up in picture quality for the living room. We researched LCD TV specs and reviews for a number of months prior to purchasing. This narrowed our choice to Samsung, Sharp, or Sony. The bottom line for us was picture quality. The Sharp had picture quality that some...
Strengths: Amazing color, sleek design, intuitive menus with lots of options
Weakness: PiP only allows for one HDMI input to be displayed at a time.
I've always been a Sony fan, but the XBR series was a little too contemporary for our living room. The W series provides outstanding performance with a classic design. The picture looks awesome with our DirecTV HD package and our XBOX 360. I'm a little disappointed that the PiP and P&P features only allow for 1 HDMI component at a time, but I mitigate that by running my DirecTV signal through my...
Strengths: Full HD 1080 with 1920 x 1080 Panel Resolution
Weakness: none
Sony's BRAVIA W series Full HD 1080p televisions take performance to the next level with advanced HDMI v1.3 features such as x.v.Color which greatly broadens the color space input capabilities to include 1.8 times as many natural colors as existing HDTV signals. In addition, Deep Color input capability works with the 10-bit processor and panel to deliver 64 times the level of color expression...
Strengths: Overall quality
Weakness: none
I like its picture frame styling/distinctive brushed metal finish, and certaily the 10-bit 16:9 Full HD 1080p Panel (1920x1080). The reproduction of smoother picture and natural motion is excellent. Very occasionally, it shows a very sligh mosaic effect, which probably is the signal itself not caused by the TV.
Strengths: Picture quality and compact design
Weakness: so far so good
It is a Full HD 1080 HDTV. There are a lot of ways to define high-definition. With Sony BRAVIA W Series HDTVs, Full HD 1080 means 1920 x 1080 pixels5 and 1080p video inputs. Theoretically and practically, it produces the best in high-definition. As always, the outlook is very neat and compact.
The Sony KDL-46W3000 is a 46 inch high-def television with a 1080p native resolution display. The W3000 series of televisions is part of Sonys 2007 line of HDTVs and is a step up from the S3000 series, and a step below the XBR4s. The biggest upgrade from the S3000 series is the change to a native 1080p resolution display, from the S3000s 720p resolution. Sony includes additional features to...
