A Display device that is HD Ready means that it meets a set of requirements needed to show protected High Definition content.Freeview is a free digital UK terrestrial TV service offering over 30 TV channels and 20 radio stations, using the DVB-T standard. With a Freeview enabled TV, you wont need a set top box as the tuner is built in. Freeview is received through your normal rooftop aerial, visit www.freeview.co.uk to check that you can receive it.You can tell a good TV by the way it reproduces colour. That’s why Sony developed its own high-resolution image processors – and fitted them in every TV in the ground-breaking new BRAVIA LCD range. These processors put every pixel of every image through a five-stage perfecting process to deliver colours and quality no other TV can match.The standard aspect ratio for High Definition TV is 16:9 Widescreen. Perfect for Home Cinema, and watching Digital TV Broadcasts. The High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between any compatible digital audio/video source, such as a set-top box, a DVD player, or an A/V receiver and a compatible digital audio and/or video monitor, such as a Digital TV.1080p HDTV''s deliver more detail, which can enhance the viewing experience for more attentive visual persons, but it takes the right distance from the TV and a fine eye to truly appreciate it. The most important factor is to view the color, how the TV handles black coloring, the contrast, and most importantly, what you will mainly use the TV for before you make a judgment. Unless you buy a TV that is 50 inches or more and at the right distance, it will be difficult to distinguish a difference in quality between 1080p, 1080i, and 720p, but you will be able to distinguish it in priceLive Colour Creation is a new Sony technology unique to BRAVIA televisions. It delivers 30% wider colour than conventional LCD technology. This results in a release of far deeper and more accurate tones for stunning colour reproduction, exactly as nature intended. This mode allows films to be watched as intended by the director for the big screen, at 24 frames per second. Until now, movies watched at home play back ''faster'' than they do in the cinema. When a film is shown on TV or sold on DVD it has to be adjusted to be compatible with the PAL format. The difference is that films are shot at a rate of 24 frames per second, whereas standard TV uses 25 frames per second.

Comments, Questions and Answers

Expand/CollapseGeneral Feedback

22-Jan-2008 Marky boy: Hello good sirs. Please can you inform me of the response time for this wonderous television.

Easycom: 8ms

24-Jan-2008 Mr G: Hello Please could you tell me if this sony model has the 100Hz Motion Flow incorporated? Thanks

Easycom: No it hasn't. It has 24fps tru motion flow for films

27-Jan-2008 Mike: Hi, Are you absolutely sure that this 40D3500U is 100 Hz and not 50Hz? What does it say on the sticker on the box?

Easycom: that was an error by one of my collegues. the previous D3000 was but the new D3500 only has 24fps for movies

28-Jan-2008 Gary: Is this model wall moutable? If "yes" then which mounting bracket is required and can I get it from you?

Easycom: yes it is wall mountable. as for the bracket, what type of bracket are you looking for, flat, tilt, swinging arm

28-Jan-2008 Mike: Is it the spanish model? What's the manufacture date on the back? Many thanks!

Easycom: Spanish model? We are a UK company selling UK TVs, Direct from Sony. Why would we want to sell Spanish sets. as for the date, we do not open up the box's to look at the dates

3-Feb-2008 Mike: Sorry, it's where they are manufactured and have a manufactured date on the back. Sony Centres sell the spanish made model which is a blacker frame. The missus doesn't want a shiny black model like a Samsung. The earlier D series are silver and matt black. I can't tell from the picture.

Easycom: All Sony TVs are made in Spain. The Sony Centres do not have their own range of products, but they do get models earlier than the rest of us. So the D3500 is listed as black and not gloss black, Sony doesn't produce sets as glossy as Samsung, but if you have seen it in the Sony Centre ours will be the same

6-Feb-2008 Mike: And one last question, does it have the Live Colour Creation installed? But that T3500 looks good.

Easycom: yes it does have LCC

22-Feb-2008 Lod: On the Sony website, it says this TV has 100hz screen. You say it doesn't. If so, which TVs do have 100hz? Thankyou.

Easycom: If you double check you'll see that its the old D3000 that is 100z. The D3500 doesn't have it because it is a full 1080p panel, 1920x1080 where as the old D3000 was only 1366x768. Hope this helps

2-Mar-2008 Jorge: How long is the guarantee period ?

Easycom: Standard Manufacturers warranty, 1 yeasr. you can extend it if you wish

31-Mar-2008 Simon.A: Why is this TV more than £150 cheaper on another website even after delivery and VAT is added on (DigitalDirect.com)? I'd be more inclined to buy from here if you price matched. Do you price match?

Easycom: please check the web for latest pricing the price has moved

11-Apr-2008 Alaa: Hi, does this model have an S-video socket? some websites say yes whilst others say it doesn't have. Second question: how much of a difference the extra speakers would make to the quality of sound? Thank you.

Easycom: Even though its not listed they dome come with S-video and composite connections. As to exteranl speakers, the sound quality is good, far better than Samsung but you will always benefit from more speakers

27-May-2008 Barry: Hi there is there what is the differance between the KDL40D3500U and the KDL40D3500 are they the same model or is the KDL40D3500U a newer update, if an update that are the changes thanks

Easycom: Same model - Generally the extra character on the end referrs to a model sold in a certain country (so the U referrs to UK and has a UK plug in the box).
