The Sony KDL-52EX700 has its own private display in some prominent retail stores such as Finest Buy. It's got the thin great looks Sony is counting on to impress with its fantastic brightness about the showroom floor. In this review we delve deeply into the inner beauty from the Tv at the same time to evaluate regardless of whether the internal processing and output match the aesthetics. The EX700 series ranks proper in the middle of the pack in Sony's 2010 lineup with regards to function offerings and cost. HQV Processor Testing: After watching a few brief movie content highlights we thought the processor would definitely pass our tests with no a hitch. Turns out the brightness and nice color rendition with the picture fooled us. General, the EX700 performed poorly in video processor testing. I guess they saved the best stuff for their higher end TVs including the HX900. Obvious jaggies, moire', shimmy effects, judder, and dithering have been apparent on many tests ? all signs of a struggling processing engine. The a single exceptional performance was in the movie resolution loss test. Interestingly though Sony has named the video chip sets for this Tv the new Bravia Engine three, we decided that the movie processor within the EX700 should at least be exactly like the XBR9, since the testing was identical with weaknesses and strengths in the exact same locations. 480i content appeared a little soft but stable and color rendition was accurate and not oversaturated. The LED backlit Television seemed to overcome most of the setbacks from a weak processor when viewing movie content. Black ranges are strong throughout all content. One of the finest characteristics of this Television is exceptional dark shadow detail popping off of strong black levels. Image edges from HD content material had been crisp, clean and detailed. The LED backlight and intense black level seem to assist images in three dimensional effect. Shadow detail is excellent with HD articles at the same time. Regardless what content material is shown there is fast degradation of black ranges and contrast from side viewing angles starting at 15 degrees. Color info was rich but no overpowering with HD content. I enjoyed the image extremely much from in the forefront and was unable to pick up the processing problems the Tv shown in HQV testing. Black Level/Contrast/Contrast Ratio: Black levels were stout and measured .026 to .029 about the IRE scale giving the Television a high post calibration contrast ratio of 1570:1. The black ranges carried via to scenes from both HD and 480i articles. As mentioned below, side angle viewing will diminish contrast appearance. Dark Shadow Detail: Fantastic shadow detail is really a winning characteristic from the EX700. The Television showed tremendous definition in dark areas of suits, clothing, and in all dimly lit scenes. Regardless what content is displayed there is fast degradation of black ranges and contrast from side viewing angles beginning at 15 degrees. It's not extreme but does have an impact. Contrast continues to degrade to around 30 degrees where it stabilizes all the way to 45 degrees. Viewing is possible from extreme side angles because of the high brightness and anti glare screen of the Tv. Having a static gray screen shown there was obvious horizontal light banding from the edge lit LED back lights. The irregularities in back lighting revealed themselves every once in awhile when viewing content material at the same time. Overall this feature is viable around the EX700 series. While this feature detracts from the image quality with most TVs available in the market, it enhances PQ within the EX700. The feature does not introduce unwelcome video background noise as with most others. We suggest the Standard setting. Extra points to Sony for coming up with a Hz rate function that in fact improves the picture even throughout film. There was still judder occurrence, but the feature reduced it. You will find 27 different channels of numerous primarily proprietary Bravia Internet Video clips which includes highlights Netflix, Youtube, Sony Pictures, DailyMotion. The Windows Vista and WIndows 7 computers on our network picked up the EX700 instantly for file sharing without a hitch. Gursel Batmaz writes content about several things, which includes Sony.
