I'm buying a new TV and I've settled on two models, Sony Bravia KLV-32S530a and Sony Bravia KLV-32T550a. The specs are nearly the same, main difference is that the T550a has 2 HDMI inputs while S530a only has one. I couldn't find any info about static contrast ratios. Does anyone know which one is better?

Going by the similar model numbers, I would say they are the same TV, with one model simply having the extra HDMI input.

Anybody else in this forum know more details ?

Thanks for the reply Ralf. There is also KLV-32S550a which I guess is an upgrade of KLV-32S530a which has 2 hdmi inputs but its not available in my country.

The S530a costs about USD100 more than the T550a here. I think it looks better and a little more polished, I wonder if there is any difference in picture quality...

I guess a better way to phrase my question is, What differentiates T-series from S-series?

Thanks

i just look up at the specie between the two..

s-series

t-series
http://www.sony.com.sg/product/klv-32t550a

the difference is the s-series have 1080/24p while t-series don't.. in case if you want to use another this port to output into another tv or projector, this is an advantage as it can gives you a smoother HD movie in the 2nd tv.

other than thats, the design of s-series look sleeker and more fashion.. t-series looks like the old 90s tv imo.

final answer: for the price differences, it's better to get the t-series if you never going to use a 2nd port to connect with this tv.. and if you don't care about styling.. gets the t-series.

Crikey I am not the best person to ask..... I still have a CRT TV and can't afford to even dream of buying a new generation TV for at least another year. Slowly I am learning about LCD and plasma.

I think Sony Bravia KLV-32S530a is better then other one.

thanks

At this point, don't even consider lcd / plasma. LCD that rate themselves as 240hz are fake back light manipulators. True 240hz only comes in an even thinner LED. In fact, due yourself a favor and only consider an LED with your hard earned money unless you wanna buy another tv in a year or two.

Any major new TV technology just around the corner ?
