 No regrets July 16, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was looking for a good sized, HD ready TV for my bedroom. I had done a lot of research into TV's and i had a lot of requirements, such as at least 720p native resolution and at least 1080i input sources, HDMI, a way of using it as a second monitor for my PC, multiple scart sockets etc. This TV's brilliant for the money. The picture quality is great even watching standard TV (flat screens aren't good at non-native resolutions), the sound quality is brilliant, a lot better than i expected, as usually small speakers in flat screens produce a tinny sound, this doesn't. Theres a lot of settings for both picture and sound to get the most out of what you are watching.
The built-in freeview works great and the EPG on it is easy to use. I have my PC connected to it via component cables as i bought a wall mount that fits 200x100 VESA standard and it covers the VGA and audio out connections, that is my only issue, but that is down to the wall mount, not the TV. If you plan to use the VGA and/or audio out connections and have the TV on the wall, make sure the mount only goes up to the 100x100 VESA standard so it won't block/cover them.
DVD's look great on it (especially that i used to have a 15" TV), and HD even better. I have no regrets buying this TV.
'Oozes Sony Quality' July 7, 2008

Only had it for about an hour but very impressed so far.
Previously had a 15" SD Sony Bravia but inevitably this is far, far better. I've just played some PS3 on it with after purchasing a Sony HDMI cable and it really does produce fantastic next gen gaming, very slick. Agree with most of the comments made in other reviews and I'm glad I chose this rather than spending 25 more on the Sony KDL 23" which actually has a lower contrast ratio but mainly because 20" is a very good bedroom/kitchen size.
One thing I will say is that I would have probably bought this in silver rather had they been the same price when I made the order (they are now) as one particularly helpful review stated that the black will show dust far more obviously than silver. However, having said this the black is looking pretty slick and I don't really regret it.
The one disappointment was the Super Saver Delivery by CityLink. I would have to agree with the advice given by another review and also recommend spending the extra 5 postage and packaging as probably being worth it. I say this because it took a week for me to get my hands on the TV and in the end, after making a few calls, I resorted to actually going to the depot and picking it up myself after CityLink attempted to deliver the television and left a delivery card at a different address.
But yes, in conclusion this has been a fantastic television for the hour or so I've had it and oozes Sony quality.

Sony Quality May 28, 2008

As usual Sony deliver a high quality television that delivers excellence and is built to last!!
The television was delivered very efficiently by 'Amazon'(10/10 for service...thank you!) and was out of the box and (using auto set up) i was watching within minutes. This 20" model is perfect size for a dining room, Kitchen or Bedroom and small living rooms and can be used free standing or wall mounted.
I think most people know that you pay a little bit more for Sony products but they ARE a class apart in picture and sound quality and while other manufacturers i.e.'Samsung' have made in-roads into more cosmetically pleasing designs, they do not deliver the same picture or sound quality or the product life span....FACT!!
I would recommend SONY every time and the proof comes from the reviews that you will see listed on this and other models within the Bravia range.
Superb TV Super service from Amazon May 25, 2008

Ordered the Sony Bravia on the Wednesday evening and it arrived at 11:00am on the Saturday and this was using the Super Saver Delivery. Superb service from Amazon. We needed to replace a Sony 19" CRT TV and decided on this model. As for the TV itself the picture and colours are faultless. Even rubbish programs look good on this TV! The sound is excellent as well. The 20" model is ideal as a bedroom TV which is where we are using it. The TV took minutes to set up; auto tuned all of the digital channels. It is a superb product from Sony. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
