The package contains the base of the television (into parts), tile, a mounting kit in a small bag, a TV Quick start manual battery (in a language package), remote control and batteries , all secured by polystyrene. I, who am not a handyman for two pennies, mounting the television did not take me more than ten minutes of happiness: 3
A word about the TV look: simple! The KDL40EX521 has a surprising number of connectivity, 4 HDMI ports, one for the PC (DVI-HDMI), a composite port, SCART, optical audio output, Ethernet port, two USB ports (1 for the Wi-Fi dongle not supplied and for / multimedia storage media), a headphone input ... short heavy and that should be enough to many
Being more used to computer screens, so I tested here my first LCD / LED television screen. After a first test, my verdict is unanimous that it is beautiful !!!!!!! I noticed a little clouding on the screen, recurring problem on all monitors with LED Edge technology, but nothing annoying though. The films in Blu-Ray format are wonderful, HD gaming as well, for DVDs and non-HD channels, I found a small image of stretching effect, but again nothing serious and Predictably.
Just in the black point of this Sony TV, the sound !! As well, the speakers the headphones, the sound is simply horrible, bland, devoid of vitality, distorting to the voice of people. Advanced settings will mitigate some these problems, but the audio controller of this television is of poor quality. I plugged my kit the Logitech Z-5500, the result is completely different. The moral: use a preferences-his kit with audio optical output.
TV recommended for its image quality, not for its audio;)
