We like:
Excellent picture quality; good connectivity and multimedia functionality; decent audio; good value
We don't like:
Online features are flimsy; not particularly pretty
CNET UK judgement:
For those who can't afford one of Sony's exceptional X4500 LED-backlit TVs, the fantastic functionality and performance of the surprisingly affordable Bravia KDL-46W5500 should do the trick. It's just a shame that Sony's online system isn't as good as those of its rivals

Sony Bravia EX1 (KDL-52EX1)
An always good and occasionally outstanding performer, but it's far too expensive
Philips Cinema 21:9 (56PFL9954H/12)
Great piece of kit, but its price tag will make it unobtainable for most
JVC Xiview LT-42WX70
Interesting attempt at creating an innovative TV, but some of its promised functionality is yet to be realised
