Now the world has left the minimum number of companies engaged in the production of television equipment. This business became very expensive, in connection with which some firms, due to increasing losses, decided to sell their brand to third-party manufacturers. But Sony continues to create TVs on its own. Its first devices of this kind began to go off the assembly line in the middle of the XX century. Now their appearance has changed significantly. Televisions from the BRAVIA series have a high-quality LCD display, they themselves are very thin and light. They differ from each other in screen diagonal, resolution and width of the functional.

Top 46-inch Sony LCD TVs
Sony KDL-48WD653
Traditional TV with a 48-inch screen, whose resolution is 1920 x 1080 pixels. The device is complemented by a nice stand. However, it is much easier to hang such a large copy on the wall. Only one person can cope with this, since the weight of this model does not exceed 10.2 kg.
The sound of the TV is output using two speakers, the total power of which is 10 watts. This is quite enough if the purchased item is installed in a relatively small room. To play movies, the owner will not need additional devices - Sony KDL-48WD653 copes with this task on its own. To connect an external hard drive or flash drive are two USB-connector. And still video can be watched by means of Smart TV. The frequency of the sweep is average here - it is equal to 200 Hz. Only the number of HDMI connectors grieves customers.

Unlike many even more expensive analogs, here there is support for 3D. This feature works on the shutter technology. There is a Sony KDL-46HX920 and support for Smart TV. Video clips downloaded from the global web automatically become smoother as the scanning frequency here is increased to 200 Hz. The display resolution is 1920 x 1080 pixels.
The device produces a very beautiful picture. But such a TV is recommended only to fans of playing video games. If you watch television most of the time, you will have to put up with one drawback. To watch digital TV, you will need to purchase the appropriate set-top box. Surprisingly, there is no support for the DVB-T2 standard here - so long ago this model was designed. But this is the only serious flaw. The rest of the TV only pleases, especially picture quality and sound volume.

Sony's Best LCD TV under 46 inches
Sony KDL-32WD756
Relatively inexpensive TV (especially compared to other Sony products) with a 32-inch screen. At the same time, the device is not deprived of smart TV and other useful features. It went on sale quite recently, in connection with which the TV managed to get the support of the most common in our country standard digital TV DVB-T2. But the DVB-S2 standard will remain misunderstood for this model, so an additional device will have to be purchased for a satellite dish.
Access to the global network here is via Wi-Fi or wired connection. Another feature of the TV is the increased sweep frequency up to 400 Hz, which makes watching action scenes an incredibly exciting experience. But there is a negative side to this model. Most of all, some buyers are straining two HDMI connectors. Such a number of them in the 21st century is not enough, because many people want to easily connect a game console, a laptop and something else to the TV.
Advantages:

- Digital TV support;
- Omnivorous built-in player;
- Extremely low power consumption - only 57 W;
- Weight does not exceed 6.4 kg;

Which Sony LCD TV to buy
1. The choice of TV for the most part depends on your desires and financial capabilities. If you are a fan of Japanese technology, then ideally you need to buy a Sony KD-65XD7505. But not every successful businessman has the necessary funds for its acquisition, let alone ordinary people. That is why another model, the Sony KD-49XD7005, is now much more popular. This TV has a smaller screen, but its resolution is also 4K. Another difference is the reduced refresh rate of the display, otherwise the characteristics of this model are almost the same as the flagship, which is not the price, which is much lower.
2. In the direction of the Sony KDL-48WD653 and Sony KDL-46HX920 is worth watching if you do not have money for a TV with 4K-display. The second model is a little more sophisticated in terms of acoustics and the number of connectors. It is also the only one in our collection that has the ability to display stereoscopic images. The first model turned out to be a little worse, but it is noticeably newer, which is why its “smart” component is noticeably better developed - the interface, if slowed down, then in a clearly smaller number of points. And it also displays digital TV without the help of a special console.
3. As for the Sony KDL-32WD756, then this is the best option for those who are looking for a Japanese TV at a low price. Note that in 2016 a large number of brand new Sony TVs with attractive features were released. But they have not yet collected the necessary number of reviews, so they are not yet in our compilation, despite the fact that they deserve a mention.
