Sony Bravia KDL-40EX521

After sony vgp-bps2a Bravia EX720 is the turn of the Bravia EX521 – replacing the EX600 – to pass on our test bench. This TV is equipped with a PVA panel (Samsung-Sony) backlit by LEDs side. Side position, he was very relieved: no compatibility or 3D motion compensation (Motionflow). We had the opportunity to test it in 40 inches, but there are also 32 inches (82 cm) and 46 inches (117 cm).

Apart from processing and Motionflow 3D compatibility, the EX520 has everything to compete with large ones. It offers a DLNA 1.5 and access to online services (YouTube, Dailymotion, M6 Replay) and Qriocity (movies and music on demand). The new image processing XReality Standard version, the new interface and XrossMediaBar Skype Ready 720p (with a Sony vgp-bps8 camera option) are also by appointment.

Good news, Sony has introduced a PVA (CJA 460HQ01) reactive enough in this entry-level TV LED. On average, it is 16.5 ms to erase the image n-1, which places still below the overall average. And not surprisingly, faced with a sony vgp-bps9a , the TV displays a delay in the display that will not satisfy seasoned players. We must wait 66 ms to display the image sent by the source, equivalent to 4 frames of delay.

In terms of connectivity, there were four HDMI, YUV, a VGA, Ethernet and SCART spread over the side and rear of the hull. Two USB ports are also available on the side. Therefore, it is possible to connect an external storage sony vgp-bps9 device for recording emissions. The other can be used to read a film, but the media player is incompatible with many video formats. MKV is not supported and always makes the reader anecdotal.

If the image quality in HD is excellent, we can not say the same about the sound quality. Sony seems to have made savings on the speaker system. Unlike the Sony vgp-bps2c EX720, the bass is virtually nonexistent. In contrast, keeps its good clarity thanks to the orientation of the speakers towards the listener.First observation, the resemblance is striking with the EX720. Both show a glossy black shell and a matte coating on the slab. The only visual difference is at the bottom of the hull on the metal bar. It is slightly brighter on the EX521.
