Both the HD Ready standard and 26'' screens have received a rather skeptical reaction from retailers and technology press alike.

All the models that we've tested that fall into either of these categories have clearly lagged behind more powerful models, which use bigger screens that support the Full HD resolution.

Sony's new Bravia V4500 line, though, includes a TV that is both HD Ready and 26''.

Will they manage to impress any more than previous attempts have? 

We tested the 32'' Bravia KDL-32V4500, which is also available in 26'' and 37'' versions.
