Sony KDL-40BX525 questions

[stan99]

Hello,


can anybody tell me something about the Sony KDL-40BX525 ?
I can't find that TV around the internet. It seems that thing doesn't even exist! Not even on the Sony website. The Sony service is also no help!

I could only find some information about the BX420, but not for the 525 !
Is it possible that the BX525 works with the LED technology?
On the website is following to read:

"While the 420 and 500, though, use cold cathode fluorescent lamps for back light, the 520 and 523 rely on a light-emitting diode instead."

Does that mean that this model got the LED-backlighting from current devices?


In my nearby town is a really cheap offer for this TV ! Only 369,- (about $500,-)


The flyer from the store lists only a few specifications.

- 1080p Full-HD
- build-in HD-Receiver
- Wi-Fi
- record telecast with a external harddrive


Does anybody know more about this TV or is able to tell me where I can get some informations?
Your help is greatly appreciated!

Its not LED. BX series only has CCFL LCD backlight. LED backlighting starts with the EX models.

No there are new sony models getting launched as part of the new strategy,we already have seen the 42" BX420 edge led being launched in india,which comes with a LG IPS panel costs around 40k to 43k in grey markets.

I see. Can you check if the 40BX525 is LED or LCD for the OP?
