Sony Bravia KDL32W5500

RRP: $1899.00

If you're looking for a mid-size LCD television, Sony's Bravia KDL32W5500 is king of the bunch. It comes with a higher price tag than we would have liked, but if you want the pedigree you'll have to pay for it.

Sony Bravia KDL52Z5500

RRP: $4999.00

We'd go so far as to say that the Sony Bravia KDL52Z5500 is the current pinnacle of (non-LED) LCD television technology. Good, natural-looking motion smoothing and a vibrant colour palette make for a television that's very enjoyable to watch.

Sony XEL-1

RRP: $6999.00

We could never recommend that anyone purchase this television given its tiny size and incredible price. But as a glimpse into the promising future of OLED televisions, the Sony XEL-1 is technically brilliant.

Sony Bravia KDL40E4500

RRP: $2499.00

If you’re looking for a Sony television that offers decent picture quality and a great-looking frame, the KDL40E4500 is a good option. It may not be as brilliant as its Samsung counterparts but we prefer the design and user interface.

Sony Bravia KDL46WE5

RRP: $3199.00

The Sony Bravia KDL46WE5 shows that cathode-backlit LCDs can be green-friendly without destroying image quality. The picture quality isn't as good as an LED-backlit TV, but the overall package is decent.

Sony Bravia KDL40ZX1

RRP: $7399.00

As a technological tour de force, we’re extremely impressed with the Sony Bravia KDL40ZX1. It’s ultra-thin, delivers good picture quality and the wireless video streaming is an innovation we’re hoping will become commonplace.

Sony Bravia KDL46EX1

RRP: $6099.00

The Sony Bravia KDL46EX1 is a thin, well-designed Full HD LCD television with average image quality and a good wireless media streaming system. It may not be as competent as other models in its price range, but you’re paying for some high-class style as well as a thin design.

Sony BRAVIA KDL55XBR45

RRP: $9399.00

Sony's BRAVIA KDL55XBR45 Full HD LCD television is fantastic for watching content of any kind. When compared to its direct rival, the Samsung Series 9, it has a few inadequacies, but overall it is a strong performer and well worth its price tag.

Sony BRAVIA KDL46XBR45

RRP: $6099.00

Sony’s KDL-46XBR45 produces fantastic quality images, but this excellence comes at a price.

Sony Bravia KDL40Z4500

RRP: $3399.00

Sony's Bravia KDL40Z4500 is a fantastic Full HD TV. It's Australia's first 200Hz television and it provides an excellent Motion Flow mode; the real faults we could find with it were a question of personal taste.

Sony Bravia KDL20S4000

RRP: $799.00

A strong contender for a place in your kitchen or bedroom, or just as a backup TV, the Sony KDL20S4000 is a 20in 720p panel that offers good image quality for both HD and SD playback. It isn't perfect, but considering the size, price tag and target market it does a solid job.

Sony Bravia KDL52W4000

RRP: $4699.00

It stumbles on standard definition content and doesn't support 100Hz picture technology, but Sony's 52 inch W series LCD is hard to fault in high definition picture quality tests.
