Hi,

I am thinking of getting a Sony Bravia KDL40EX503 or 603

Does anyone know the difference?

I think I am right in saying the 503 is the same as the 403, just with 100Hz motionflow added.

What benefits does the 603 offer?

Thanks in advance.

The main difference seems to be that ithe 603 employs LED edge lighting making it slimmer but from a quick check on AV forums some users have stated that there is an issue with shadows as a result. Unless you need to wallmount it, (or like looking at the side of your TV,) I'd advise against the 603.

Apart from that they're pretty much identical - apart from the 503 being significantly cheaper - as little as £530 for the EX503 V £700 for the 603.

Top tip - Sony seem to be doing their trade-in offer this year again. (God bless the world-wide recession .) This means you can get £100 off a 40" TV - if the retailer supports the promotion. The great thing is that the tv you exchange can be in any condition so pop down to your local flea-market and find a cheap portable for a £5/10 and you can exchange it - which is what I did last year

The KDL-40EX503 also has 100Hz motionflow which the KDL-40EX603 does not, so it depends on your priorities, slimmer edge lit display or slightly chunkier display with better motion handling.

Thanks for your replies

I went for the 503 and got the £100 trade in with a set I bought from a charity shop on the way.

(Richer sounds told me on the phone the trade in had to be for a working set so I could not trade in my old broken set, but when I got to the shop they told me they could take broken sets!)
