KDL-40EX723 ethernet speed

[edtheduk]

Hello,

I searched the spec, no info.

I just wondered what the connection speed is? I have the wired connection and assumed this would be the fastest. I don't think think it operates at gigabit but I could be wrong. I have a gigabit switch and hoped that the TV could support these speeds too.

Thanks.

Hi,

Sony recommend a high speed internet connection, 2.5Mbps Bandwidth and 10Mbps for HD content, and if using a wireless connection (not in your case) a 802.11n wireless router.

It's a 100Mbps Ethernet Interface. The TV doesn't require any more than that - HD video only requires 10Mbps and unlike a PC there is no multi-tasking!

• 16 kbit/s – videophone quality (minimum necessary for a consumer-acceptable "talking head" picture using various video compression schemes)
  
• 128 – 384 kbit/s – business-oriented videoconferencing quality using video compression
  
• 1.15 Mbit/s max – VCD quality (using MPEG1 compression)^[15]
  
• 3.5 Mbit/s typ - Standard-definition television quality (with bit-rate reduction from MPEG-2 compression)
  
• 9.8 Mbit/s max – DVD (using MPEG2 compression)^[16]
  
• 8 to 15 Mbit/s typ – HDTV quality (with bit-rate reduction from MPEG-4 AVC compression)
  
• 19 Mbit/s approximate - HDV 720p (using MPEG2 compression)^[17]
  
• 24 Mbit/s max - AVCHD (using MPEG4 AVC compression)^[18]
  
• 25 Mbit/s approximate - HDV 1080i (using MPEG2 compression)^[17]
  
• 29.4 Mbit/s max – HD DVD
  
• 40 Mbit/s max – Blu-ray Disc (using MPEG2, AVC or VC-1 compression)
