The Sony Bravia KDL52Z5500 is a good all-round LCD television. Its CCFL backlight means it may not be as technologically advanced as Samsung’s LED TV models, but the implementation of MotionFlow 200Hz and its vibrant image quality make the package j...

The Sony Bravia KDL52Z5500 is a 52in LCD television with a 200Hz refresh rate. It’s the successor to the Bravia KDL52Z4500, with a new video processor and improved multimedia playback. The TV gives you a lot of control over motion control and picture quality, and its media streaming and minimalist design make it a great all-round LCD television.It’s not as striking as Sony’s Bravia KDL40E4500 or Bravia KDL40ZX1, but the Bravia KDL52Z5500’s dark, thin bezel and rectangular base make for an LC...
Good motion smoothing, minimal design...
No LED technology, expensive...
We’d go so far as to say that the Sony Bravia KDL52Z5500 is the current pinnacle of (non-LED) LCD television technology. Good, natural-looking motion smoothing and a vibrant colour palette make for a television that’s very enjoyable to watch...

Sonys KDL-46Z5500 Bravia LCD TV is exceptional. And brave. For starters, it doesnt have an LED backlight, which, for a two-grand telly, strikes me as rather courageous. Instead, Sony has put its faith in CCFL. And while that is to the slight detrimen...
