My Review of the SonyW700B :
- Purchase : I had done quite a detailed review online as well as at the store and this forum and its members were a huge help in my decision making. I carried a pen drive with me to the stores and ran different formats (mkv/avi etc ) and was satisfied with the results. I also played with the Sony TV settings so as to understand the variations in auto mode of the picture.
I finally purchased my TV from Sony world here in Viman Nagar,Pune at 62,000 / - . I realised the best bargain you get is only when you actually will buy the TV, earlier they kept saying that best price is 64,900 and they will not go lower, i actually believed them. But on the day of the purchase - 28th March 2014 when I indicated I want to buy it right away, they lowered the price. The fact that Reliance Digital / Jumbo at a mall close by as well a local dealer (Maharashtra Electronics ) was close by helped me cause as I claimed I could just walk away and buy the TV at any of these stores.
Delivery and Installation : I actually emotionally blackmailed the sales guy into committing that he would ensure that the piece was delivered immediately and that installation was done next day itself.
Bought the TV at Sony world at 8 Pm on 28th March
Delivered to my place at 8:30 Pm on 28th March (I stay 2 kms away)
Installation and demo done by 29th March 6 Pm
Overall I was very satisfied since the sales person stuck to his commitment and I also ofcourse chased the sales guy / demo guy to ensure installation was completed by 29th March as I wanted to watch Football on the weekend !!
TV feedback : I would like to note that I earlier had a 26 inch LG LCD :sad:
1. Setup of wifi was a breeze and extremely easy
2. The overall response of the internet apps seemed to be slow but I realised I will only either ways be using only youtube and that too rarely
3. The sound out of the home theatre system seemed to also be much improved (is it my imagination or can a upgrade change in TV actually improve sound too)
4. I have tata sky HD connection and I must say that the TV viewing now is much more pleasurable . Movies/ sports in hd look fantastic and even the general channels look good.
5. The best part,I viewed the Transformers (dark side of the moon ) , 300 , Rush via the pen drive { All blu ray rips) and the movie viewing experience was fantastic
6. I then played the Dark Knight Rises through my Play Station 3 and this was the icing on the cake. My in laws / wife had their jaws open and I stood there beaming with my purchasing decision
7. I played GTAV as well through my PS3 and even though I have played and completed the game earlier I guess seeing how beautiful it looks on the new tv, I am surely going to play it all over again.
8. The TV does act a little slow while reading the files on the pen drive but I have decided to watch most formats through the ps3 and if a file doesnt work on the ps3 , I will play it directly from the TV. (Ps3 doesnt support some random formats like mkv etc )
9. The TV design is awesome since it has very thin Bezels (margins at the sides ) making it sleek .
I am extremely happy with my decision and I vouch for this TV.
NOTE : I persuaded my dad who is Bombay to purchase the same tv as he too wanted to change his tv and he went ahead and bought it next day itself on 29 march from Jumbo electronics in Inorbit mall , Vashi and it was delivered and installed by 30th March 7 PM
hyeah:
