Review Sony BRAVIA 2 II (S25M2) Main photo

Available screen sizes: 43”, 50”, 55”, 65”, 75”

Technology: LCD IPS, White LED

Brand: SONY

Verdict:

The Sony Bravia 2 II is a television that performs best in simple, everyday use. And we suspect many people will choose it mainly because of Google TV.

Review SONY BRAVIA 3 II (XR35M2) Main photo

Available screen sizes: 43”, 50”, 55”, 65”, 75”, 85”, 100”

The biggest change is the design – slim bezels and sturdy metal legs give it a modern appearance that fits much better in a living room than the X75WL. Improved colours thanks to the PFS filter and really good upscaling should also be noted. It is particularly in lower q...
