sl114 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 We have the EMAs tonight and we are transmitting them in full HD so we got a sony Bravia in alongside a standard def sony plasma, and i have to say the difference is amazing! The clarity of the Bravia is out of this world, there is no fuzzyness of the picture, every little detail can be seen and the colour contrasts are amazing. This baby retails at £3500 and i think for what you are getting it is so worth it. Anyone considering this TV, i suggest you get it, its worth the money and i will be getting one of these after christmas i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I go to my mates shop (a sevenoks) to watch hi def footy matches in one of the demo rooms. It's ace! You really need a quality sound system to get the full benefit though. Otherwise the picture's wasted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 have to agree that for the Bravia, even put next to other HD Tvs (in a shop) unless it was set up very well and the others were very poorly setup.... the difference was staggering!

Chesterfield Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 There is also a test of HD over freeview being undertaken in London now. The signs are that HD will also be available over freeview within 12 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The brand new ones that support the 1080p signal? They rock, I'm just waiting for the price to come down! The model I mean is the Sony Bravia KDL-46X2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamB Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I have the good fortune to have a 42" Panasonic Viera with Sky HD in my not that large living room. Mostly we watch the HD footie and golf but the BBC Preview channels wildlife stuff is quite amazing. What I'm really looking forward to is Top Gear in HD with full digital sound! On which topic I'm looking for an audio system to plug into the telly (as my xmas present to myself) anyone know anything worth recommending?

Rob_Quads Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Sony have raised the bar with the latest X series. Defiantly the best out there, as you say, the prices need to come down a bit - £2K for the 40" is a bit steep when other very good TVs can be got for around the £1200/1300 mark. Its quite a lot of premium for that extra bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Quads Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 What I'm really looking forward to is Top Gear in HD with full digital sound! I think it will be a number of years before shows like that are in HD. Its quite an investment to jump up to HD cameras. When the tracking car was in at a friends company for some work someone asked about HD and they said there were no plans at the moment. Tracking car was a matt black A3 - even has covers for the lights when filming to reduce any reflections Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Quads Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Yup as you have hire costs of camera which are much more expensive, also a whole edit suite which is HD. These all cost more. Its easier for a static regular to show to do it like eastenders as all the filming is done reguarly in 1 location and the editing will be done on location (well same site I think) rather than topgear which has some editing done onsite, some done before the show etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 That said, my brother has bought an HD cam corder that he is using to film wake boarding - looks awesome! I've seen the picture on this Sony, it is awesome, the first thing to raise the bar since the Panasonic Viera that reined supreme before.
