Sony's newest top of the range models are seemingly stealing the spotlight in the the news headlines lately. They are skinny, they flaunt 200 Hz processors and in the case of the X4500 range, boast absolutely jaw dropping picture quality. However maybe it might really be the simple but totally affordable V400 range that, during this era of global recession, folk will actually be thinking about nabbing for themselves.
A short while ago along came the 37 inch 37V4000 and frankly we discovered it to be much better than anticipated. So now let us concentrate on the the smaller second room 26 inch model, the Sony KDL-26v4000. It is not at all uncommon that smaller LCD TV sets in their range to be in the greatest part less well equipped than their larger cousins, lets find out if this is the case in this example.
As far as appearances go, the KDL-26V4000 is perfectly admirable, it's shiney piano-black bezel and grey speaker aren't the most beautiful features but are certainly no eyesore, the build quality however is certainly above the norm for a budget set.
Connectivity is acceptably reasonable as well. It sports 3 HDMI connections as well as a Pc port and Integrated standard definition digital terrestrial tuner (MPEG-2, also receives analogue).
A USB port would have been great but is regrettably lacking, however considering the price, this isn't anything to alter our minds.
By Sony's normal standards the feature set is quite limited, however as stated earlier, the low price must always be remembered. It does however carry Sony's Bravia Engine Video Processing and dynamic contrast ratio of 30,000:1
As for the sound, it does have a feature that supplies Digital surround sound from only the two front speakers with Virtual Dolby Surround and BBE ViVA sound technology.
The screen is HD ready as expected and has 1,366 X 768 resolution. It can't to process 1080p at 24 fps, the feed that we prefer Blu-ray players to deliver, it just means that you has to alter the setting on the player to 1080i @ 60hz
All in all this set is stunning for the price tag and should not be missed, it just goes to show that such a high feature set is becoming the norm now even in lower priced models.
