At the moment, Sony is well and truly out in front when it comes to churning out countless high–end HD TVs. And the Sony Bravia KDL-46W5500 is the latest to sit pretty in our front room. But is this powerhouse worth plumping for? Read our Sony Bravia KDL-46W5500 review and find out just how good it really is.
Stick the 46-inch Sony Bravia KDL-46W5500 in your lounge, fire it up and immediately you’ll realise why staying in and watching the telly is so much better than spending the winter months outdoors.
