There are many Father’s Day recommendations on my main site but I’d thought I’d let you know about one of my favourite new ones:

Samsung LED TV

From under £1,000 (for a 32″)

Samsung LED TV

This latest HDReady TV from Samsung is amazing !

They have revolutionised the TV (again !) by using LED technology which improves the picture quality. It’s about 10 times better than conventional LCD TV’s and as they are made up of LED’s they deliver deeper blacks and whites.

It’s also 70% slimmer than a regular LCD TV at just under 3cm thick.. WOW!

It also has a lower power consumption saving upto 40% compared to the conventional LCD TV.

As mentioned in my previous Internet TV or TV Internet post this TV also has the DLNA which will enable wireless access to streaming movies, pictures and music.

If you want to read more take a look at my Samsung LED TV Review on the main site.

Internet TV

player, the XBox, the Sky+ HD box as well as a PC so that I could ’surf’ in the front room.

It’s great and all works very well (I even bought a Logitech wireless keyboard with a built in mouse pad so that I could sit on the sofa and use the pc).

It all takes up quite a lot of room though and I only really use the PC to get to the Internet.

Wouldn’t it be great if the TV had built in Internet access? Well now Sony (and other companies) are starting to manufacture their televisions with built-in Internet browsers.

Connections to your broadband internet router can either be made by direct connection to a network port located on the back OR by wirelss (for TV’s that have the feature).

DLNA Connectivity

Sony is part of the Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) (a group of companies that have joined forces to create a common standard for device-to-device connectivity). The newer BRAVIA TVs will be DLNA Certified™ and when connected to your home network will give you access to the Internet, movies, music and photos directly on your TV.

I can’t yet find a company that’s selling them in the UK yet as Sony have only just announced the TV’s; such as the Bravia W5100 which should be on sale in the next few months.

You never know, by Christmas you may see these and more Internet TV’s with DLNA in the stores.

I’ll put updates to this article as soon as I find out more information.
