Sony KDL-52W3000 Review
Sony KDL-46W3000 Review
Sony KDL-40W3000 Review
The Sony KDL W3000 Series come in the 40-inch (Sony KDL-40W3000), 46-inch (Sony KDL-46W3000) and 52-inch (Sony KDL-52W3000) versions of the Bravia LCD TV series. The Sony KDL W3000 series is an alternative option of not paying for the higher prices for the top of the line XBR4 and XBR 5 Series.
What makes these Sony LCDs different from the XBR5 and XBR4 series are a couple of features such as the lack of the new 120 Hz system motion view and the W series has a less powerful power processor. Some of the consumers may like the bezel better that the fancy floating glass bezel as it comes in a matte black bezel. As a no nonsense brand, the W3000 series comes with full 1080P resolution.
Sony LCDs are known for being at the high end and stylish of the LCD’s manufacturers. The 46 inch KDL-46XBR4 and KDL-46XBR5 can fit the bill if the size is right for you. The Sony 46 XBR4/5 is in the middle of the mainstream sizes of the 40-inch and 52-inch models. Depending on the size of your room and preference, the 46-inch models seem to be more in the sweet spot of people’s desire.
The major features of the Sony Bravia W3000 Series:
- 1080P resolution with 1920x1080 display
- 10 Bit processing
- 18,000 dynamic contrast ratio
- 3 HDMI inputs
- ATSC, QAM tuner
The best way to describe the W3000 series is that it is Sony’s budget LCD brand. Again, some people prefer the looks of the matte black instead of the glass look. The W3000 still has the must-have feature of 1080P resolution. If you are a big fan of Sony, but do not want to commit on price, then the W3000 is your choice.
