This LCD TV from the Sony V Range gives a lot of screen for the money. The V range from Sony is the next range up from the entry S range. The Sony Bravia KDL46V5500 has been on the market since the spring of 2009.

This capability is called AppliCast. Another advantage of this Sony Bravia TV is that audio, video, and picture files can be played from a USB stick or from a network.

The Sony KDL-46V5500U has four HDMI inputs for attaching Blu-ray players and recorders for optimal performance.
