1391137	2014-12-28 23:50:00	Hi folks, I'm curious if this is a new thing with televisions or it is just mine? You see, this is my first TV I have ever bought in my life and to me I thought it was a bargain and an opportunity for me not to miss during the boxing day sales, the SONY BRAVIA 40"-W600B TV. After reading some good reviews about it and some to and fro'ing either for a Veon brand or this one? The strangest thing I have noticed about this television is that it requires a DC plug which is then connected to a (square box) and also a 250 volt plug. Reminds me, if I was to charge the battery for my laptop with the same accessories. My question, is this now common amongst TV's these days or is this because Sony has designed it this way? Cheers.	undiejuice (16495)

It has 5/12 energy rating stars, but I don't know if this means anything. Maybe it could be a good thing after all? Thanks for your reply.	undiejuice (16495)

I was "umming" about this model because the price difference was $40 less than the Sony 40". The sole reason I went with Sony, was after reading a number of reviews that Veon was a bit difficult to set up; there was a delay in changing chanels; wasn't recommended for gaming because of lag time, and the remote felt very plastic, like almost too cheap. However the plus side of things though was the cost, and size and also the 3 year warrantry. \ Just out of curiosity, would you recommend this for xbox gaming and watching movies? Since, this was the only reason I was looking for a TV in the first place. Cheers.	undiejuice (16495)

The only thing I dont like about it is some programs some of the colours almost look a bit washed out. If you compare TV programs with the Old 32" Viewsonic LCD I also have, the older one is better, but it seems to be mainly with some programs only. If playing DVD/Movie or Blu-ray or playing through the Media Center -- its WOW -- Talk about brilliant colour and crystal clear. There is one thing its razor sharp no matter whats playing. Seen lots of TV's and some look like the pixelation isn't quite right and no matter what you do it doesn't get better. Think of it like when in a shop and they have different TV's on display, some look better / different to others playing the same program. One that I did see at Noel Leeming, that I said would be "nice in the lounge" :drool SWMBO asked which one I was looking at - pointed to the TV - Well the "look" :horrified:stare: and uncontrollable :lol::lol: from her said enough- was only just over 10K ( at the time - several months back) Nuff said. Cant comment on Xbox, dont have one.	wainuitech (129)
