Sony's Bravia X, V and S series LCD TVs

Here's an ACTUAL FACT about our every day life - the Idiot Toys household television has broken. Evenings are now spent entirely (a) on the internet or (b) playing Animal Crossing on Nintendo DS, with occasional five minute breaks for (c) wanking, (d) eating toast and (e) trying not to start crying again.

New LCD televisions are too complicated, too expensive and no one seems able to say which one is best. Now Sony has made three more Bravia LCD TVs for us to look at the specs of, get confused, then decide to spend another month wanking on the internet all evening instead.



This is the Bravia S-series. It looks all right, and we'd probably buy one if it wasn't over a grand. It does 1080i and 720p, which we've recently learned is quite good but not exactly "future proofed".




This is the Bravia V-series. It's got a digital tuner in it. And comes with a stand. We're not trying to be cynical on purpose, it's just quite possibly the most boring thing we've ever seen.




The Bravia X-series does what Sony is calling "Full HD" in an attempt to make 1080p sound like something it's invented itself. It does a maximum resolution of 1920x1080, which is nice but of NO USE to us right now - or, probably, for the next ten years seeing as Sky's HD programming won't be using 1080p and PlayStation3 seems to be deciding it's a bad idea too.

THE SUMMARY:
They all look really boring, cost loads, and won't look good because we haven't got HDTV in the UK yet. Why is everyone spending so much money on LCD TVs when you can't even use them properly yet? It's MADNESS. We're therefore giving these televisions ZERO OUT OF TEN for being expensive, pointless pieces of dull black plastic.
