General Comments

I Have just had one weeks trial of the Sony FQ75 and though it is a well thought out piece of kit it has sadly gone back to the shop. It was a hard decision to make because the set looks gorgeous but get the dealer to make up the stand assembly, it is the worst I have ever had to build. The set has 100Hz picture with Sony's DRC-MF circuitry which gives a great picture and two tuners so you can watch two channels or TV and text at the same time. Sadly though the sound from this £1300 kit is totally FLAT. Even after turning on Loudness and playing with the menu's it still failed to thrill..so back it went..one sorry Sony!

    Your reaction is understandable although a bit strange since if you first buy a TV-set like the Sony FQ75 you are likely to go for an external speaker set-up anyway, e.g. when watching a DVD utilising a 5.1 sound system.

    Integrated Dolby speakers like the ones in a top Philips TV will always be inferior to an external set-up and in addition you have to pay for the extra built-in features.

    Conclusion: Built-in sound is a joke anyway. You should be thanking Sony for keeping sound features to a minimum so that you pay less for a perfect TV picture.

    If you are not satisfied with the built-in stereo and you cannot afford a home cinema set-up, you could utilise your music stereo speakers via the RCA out (variable stereo) that the FQ75 has.

    If the sound was the only problem with my FQ75, I would be a happy boy! Alas, its not to be. I'm doomed to a life of fuzzy, distorted images...
