Amazon Customer Reviews:
Ideal bedroom TV - (5/5)
I was looking for a new bedroom TV to replace my 15" Trinitron.
Looking around at various models, i was impressed by this TV's elegant design and simplicty.
The picture is good. Motion is smooth and grain is low, while colour is rich for LCD.
The menus look basic, but do the job and offer plenty of options. The remote is good and channel switching is quick and precise.
Perhaps the biggest surprise is the sound quality. Sound is sweet, detailed and weighty compared to most rivals which seem harsh and thin. The TV has a line-in so could even double as an iPod dock.
After deciding on this TV i ordered it from amazon and it arrived within 2 days, in perfect condition. Setup was easy and my PS3 looks fantastic in HD.
The only criticism is the viewing angle - which could better - although this is an issue with LCDs in general.
Overall this this is an excellent little TV.
Disappointing Analogue Subtitles - (3/5)
As we are not in a Freeview area we have to use the analogue tuner on this model & as a member of our family is hard of hearing, the subtitle facility is of great importance to us.
We were highly satisfied with our old Sony CRT TV, so Sony was a natural replacement choice. The KDL-20S3000 kept losing the analogue subtitles & we had to change channels back & forth to reinstate them. Wonderful Amazon (I echo all the other's reviews regarding their excellent sevice) sent another TV which I ran alongside the 1st TV via a multi-TV aerial amplifier. The same problem occurred on both TVs at different intervals.
Sony UK said that the new dual (analogue/digital) tuners are more sensative & require a stronger reception signal. I was disappointed as reception was fine with my old CRT TV & this TV's fault wasn't rectified with an amplifier.
The KDL-20S3000 is a lovely TV if you don't rely on subtitles. Maybe Sony should review the robustness of their tuners rather than blame the strength of reception signals.
Fantastic TV and Fantastic Delivery - (5/5)
After reading all the reviews I decided on this Sony TV and I am glad I did. It's fantastic, the quality as always with Sony is sharp and crisp. Sound is good for such a small TV but it is ideal for the bedroom. Thanks Amazon for the fast delivery - I am very impressed
A very good TV at a very good price - (3/5)
I purchased this tv 2 weeks ago. ordered one day by standard delivery & it was delivered the following day. What a service! Use this tv in my bedroom. Love all the menu options it gives you to personalise your own viewing preference. would have loved to get a greater definition around the edges of images and more consistent depth of colour across all programmes and on the playback of recorded programmes from my sky+. I found my old 15" box tv was far more superior in both clarity, consistent image definition & rich depth of colour. But I believe that this is the general rule when the two types of tv compare. Nevertheless, I am enjoying the viewing and the sound quality is very good.
First rate, simple as that. - (5/5)
For the price of this TV the quality is superb. Sony have produced a wonderful yet affordable TV set. The 20'' is bigger than I anticipated and its excellent for a bedroom, it is in fact the perfect size for a small room.
The quality of the TV is extremely high. The picture is fantastic and the sound matches it. Absoloutely recommend this.
NB. The Freeview is reliant on a great arial reception and the HD channel is AV4 (took me a while to get it working but once I found the right channel I was blown away with the picture.)
