 Sony Bravia 40" October 30, 2007

The television was a replacement but the old TV worked fine. However, hubby fell for the bargain within the Sony shop. They have some real bargains so we bought a Sony DVD player/recorder at the same time.
There was just no 'setting up' involved. The pair 'married' when plugged in and even the SKY hand control works properly now - turns TV off even! Both hand controls work either Sony TV or Recorder so hunting for the correct one is a thing of the past. Haven't felt the need to purchase HD from SKY as the quality is great. I think the TV is ahead of it's time.
Going back to buy hubby a set of surround sound speakers for his Christmas present (his idea not mine). Can't wait personally.

This TV is without a doubt the best thing I have ever bought. The picture is the best I have seen and please I have looked at every TV imaginable. The Sound is great, its easy to operate but what get me is the quality of the TV when you watch live sports. ITS FANTASTIC.
Stunning 1080p HD TV September 3, 2007

I purchased this TV from another site as for once Amazon was not the cheapest. Like many others I have spent months saving up for and reviewing 1080p TVs and it came down to this Sony and the Samsung LE40M87. Having seen both in stores, I could not tell the difference - they are both awesome running from HD sources.
I finally chose the Sony as it is (apparently) easier to set up out of the box, is better at handling normal (SD) transmissions and did not suffer from the reflection problem inherent with the Samsung's glossy back finish. There is a small risk of clouding or backlight bleed with the Sony under certain low light conditions, but the Sony website has some setting adjustments to mitigate this.
When I finally bought it last Thursday (it was delivered on the Friday!) true to form the TV worked straight away and the picture is truly stunning when running from HD sources. With Sky HD (1080i) you forget you are watching a TV and instead believe you are looking though a crystal clear window, the images are so sharp and vivid. With Blu-ray (via PS3 - full 1080p) then expect to be shocked and awed at the detail and colours. That experience is best savoured with a Dolby Dig / DTS sound system.
I may be lucky as I have no sign of the clouding problem mentioned by other owners, in fact the blacks are like velvet, deep enough to dive into - a real surprise given the dominance of plasma screens in this area.
Normal (SD) TV is also handled extremely well - another area where HD TVs can let you down. I have not noticed any difference or drop over my old CRT. But hey, who wants to watch SD anyway when HD is sooooo much better!
The 2 HDMI connectors cater for the current HD sources, although there are another 5 external inputs for when you need them!
I upgraded from 32" CRT to this 40" LCD flat screen but although is stands a little higher it does not take up any more room due to speakers being mounted below the display. If fact you gain room as you can move it closer to the wall.
The standard TV sound is a little flat, but this can be improved by using the 'surround sound' effect option pushing the sound out and forwards - much better.
Overall, for the money (just over 900) this True HD TV is breathtaking, as my open mouthed friends will confess.
Best television I've ever used... August 28, 2007

I bought this tv about 6 months ago from another website. I had done alot of research into which was the best value large screen tv. I came to the conclusion that it had to be a 1080p model to future proof for any upgrades to tv or dvd standards. At the moment there is very little on offer in 720 hdtv, let alone 1080, but its nice to know you'll be ready when there is more available...
I have a virgin media hdtv box which transmits programs to the tv through hdmi in 720p and the results are fantastic, even with standard programming, better still on the 1 hdtv channel (bbcHD). I am not sure if it is the tv or the virgin box doing the upscaling to 720 for the standard programs, but it works well anyway. I have also borrowed a PS3 and watched 'Apocalypto' in 1080p which was very impressive. Whatever you watch on this tv the picture comes out very smooth, without all the boxy pixels of a cheaper lcd...
If you have any more doubts search for some official reviews like Which? this tv always comes out on top. For under a grand it is a bargain!
KDL-40W2000 or Samsung LE40M86BD? July 24, 2007

Can't fault it. Online reviews tend to go too technical and talk about black levels that no normal folk can tell the difference between. Colour is stunning and the blacks are just that. Black. I have not seen any so called clouding issues either. Does a great job with SD input from Sky Digital which is what I use it for most.
Chose it over the Samsung M86/87 as the Samsung reflective finish was too much. It made the set look overstyled and detracted from viewing as it reflected the smallest thing. The Sony LCD has the advantage of not reflecting. In the end the Samsung had better connectivity but I think that was the only advantage it had.
