Stuart Miles from Pocket-lint is reporting in an article that the new Blu-ray player has many other features besides playing Blu-ray discs. The BDP-S780 will now have Skype built-in along with the likes of YouTube, Lovefilm, and the BBC iPlayer.

Owners of the new unit will be able to hook up any webcam and then talk with friends via their TV and internet connection.

The BDP-S780 also offers a full HD 3D service which has the ability to convert any 2D content to 3D. You will also be able to control the unit with your smartphone or use the web with the Media Remote application.

Two new cinema systems have also been announced which are both 2.1 set ups. They are the BDV- EF200 and BDV – L600, and both come with IP Noise Reduction technology, S- Force PRO 3D virtual surround sound, and two HDMI ports.

There is also the useful iPod dock which will allow you to play your own music, and once you have downloaded an app it can be controlled by an Android smartphone, or iPhone/iPod Touch. All the new devices have the BRAVIA Internet Video feature will gives you access to BBC iPlayer, Lovefilm, and YouTube.

The device has a 40” screen that has a native resolution of 1920×1080 with 1080p support, it is HD ready and has 3 HDMI input slots, 2 SCART connections, VGA connectivity, 2 USB slots and a headphone output. It also has HD Freeview in built.

While the KDL-40EX43B isn’t the best looking TV, you are definitely getting a lot for your money. The picture is sharp but according to expertreviewers.co.uk perhaps not the best TV on the market seeing as they are suggesting others that are similarly priced.

Something that isn’t made clear anywhere is if the Blu-Ray player it’s self has HDMI connectivity, maybe that is something obvious but I believe it should be stated on a spec somewhere. To read more about the TV then head over to T3.com where Steve May has written an article. For all of you that want that tiny bit more, then head straight over to Sony’s official site for a tour of the Sony Bravia KDL-40EX43B by clicking here. The tour shows plenty more angles and shows all of the features.

All things taken into consideration I would still buy this TV. Have you got one already and would like to add anything, if you do then leave a comment below
