Be careful, this is not part of the current Sony product range.
The latest model can be had from dixons online with a special code for £699 with free standard delivery from here:

I'm sure this site is linked to dixons in some way, as it always lists dixons prices the cheapest!

Technically its a vastly superior product and most people will agree if you set the screen up right. Yes I'm a proud owner, I did compare to last years model in John Lewis trying all the settings. The newer model wins easily imo

Does anyone know the Sony head office address? I ask, because we have had a whole bunche of problems with our Sony Bravia. At the moment its at the repairers waiting for parts from Sony. We have only had it since February and it started to switch itself off without warning about 3 weeks ago. Apparently its a faulty 'chip' which Sony have been having problems with in their Bravia TVs. ALso, they are replacing other parts, which have also been known to go wrong. It's really frustrating, as we bought the TV to co-inside with the World Cup. We are currently watching the the tournament on an old 14 inch portable. Time for a moan me thinks!

So be warned - Sony doesn't always mean quality.
