What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision Sony

Sony

Projectors

Sony VPL-VW1000ES

Terrific with the very limited 4K2K material available, but expensive as a conventional projector

TVs

Sony KDL-55HX853

A really positive start for Sony’s new range of TVs – we like this a lot

Headphones

Sony MDR-NC200D

The Sony MDR-NC200D sound better with their noise-cancelling turned off, not good if you are on a noisy plane

Android Smartphones & Tablets

Sony Xperia S

An excellent alternative to the ubiquitous iPhone, with some very smart features

Sony CMT-G2BNiP

The Sony CMT-G2BNiP may be small and understated but it packs a big punch

TVs

Sony KDL-40HX723

A super-smart TV, with active 3D, but let down by lacklustre colour

Micro and style systems

Sony CMT-MX750

Looks good but the feel and the sound disappoint

Android Smartphones & Tablets

Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S

An excellent addition to the market, and ideal if video is a high priority

Android Smartphones & Tablets

Sony Tablet P

The novel Sony Tablet P is a good idea – but too compromised

Projectors

Sony VPL-VW95ES

By class standards, it’s one of the best projectors around
