 Great - until it broke! January 11, 2008

The TV was great to start with - picture quality is fantastic, sound is excellent, and it was everything I'd hoped for. But after 15 weeks it broke - the screen went blank and it kept switching itself on and off in an endless cycle. "No problem" I thought - it's under warranty and I'll get it repaired.
Well, the TV was collected on 26th November and, nearly 7 weeks later, I still don't have it back. Christmas viewing was ruined. The repairers, acting under Sony's instruction, keep ordering parts (which are never in the country and take days to arrive), fit them, and it till doesn't work. Sony themselves are completely useless - all I get from them is a promise to call the repairers, which I can do myself. As of today it appears to be fixed but I still have to wait another 4 days to get it back.
My advice? Buy a Panasonic Viera. Wish I had.
 KDL 40 X 2000 Review December 5, 2007

After reading many reviews on various LCD makes (including on the SOny 40 x series), going into one showroom after another and getting staff to carry out a variety of tests to compare a number of LCD brands within the 37" to 40" range, I now have to agree with all the good reviews about the Sony 40" X series. I took delivery yesterday and I am even more impressed than my initial impression when seeing this Sony LCD in the shops. And guess what, picture clarity of standard terrestial TV signal is crystal clear. Even without connecting to a SKY HD box set. ...By the way John Lewis did a price match for 1549 (with 5 yr warrentee)..Best value out there at the moment when you check prices on line (with 5 yrs cover included). Pick any online company with a walk-in shop/warehouse where LCDs (of any make) can be bought over the counter.
The tricky part is attaching the TV stand (took 3 mins), but once that was done Setting up the TV took me a couple of minutes at the most. The automatic Smart TV setting resizes your ITV image to fit the screen with little distortion of the image. I did not itend to spend this amount on an LCD however I can tell you all it was absolutely worth pushing the boat out.
I would advise seating at least 2 meters from the screen and futher out for better viewing. Also you may want to invest in a home cinema system or equivalent audio system. The LCD speakers could have been better, but hey, I am not complaining. ALl in all only slightly (and stress slightly) let down by speakers. Beware issues with 40X3500. more money but improvement do not justify additional cost.
 Amazing looks and quality September 17, 2007

First of all , as already mentioned , you can buy this model much cheaper elsewhere - so shop around before you buy ! To be honest I nearly went for the W series as I simply couldnt see a difference in the picture with the W and X side by side , so it was actually the looks of the X series which persuaded me to part with the extra 300 or so .
The glass and silver bezel look simply stunning ! and apparently you can buy different coloured bezels ? even when turned off its a masterpiece ! HOW do they get the lights INSIDE the glass ? there are no wires ?
When running standard defintion through the TV I must say its not quite as good as my friends Pioneer model ( apparently the Panasonic is good too ) but when you run a HD transmission through the TV its simply awesome ! Im a SONY tart so there was no question of any other brands unfortnately !!
Im running SKY HD , XBOX 360 and a SONY DVD player that upscales to 1080P all through the TV - all look stunning !
My only gripe would be that when the TV was fitted to the wall , the positioning of the sockets at the back of the TV ( particuarly the HDMI sockets ) made it very awkward to fit ... but with a third pair of hands and teasing of the cables it was OK . Maybe it would be better to put all the sockets UNDERNEATH the TV to make it easier ? Its my only gripe .. Oh and the remote is RIDICULOUSLY massive ... ?
Id recommend this TV to anyone who is thinking of a 40" LCD TV with full 1080P resolotuion with a budget of 1300 or so ?
Oh and did I mention that the glass and silver bezel look AMAZING !

Ill keep it short and sweet. This set is undeniably awesome. It is 40 beautiful inches of clear, crisp 1080p magic. I recently purchased a samsung 40" that is 1080p but have always had my eye on this beast - and as soon as I saw the price tag come down to a mere 1600 (50% of its original price when released) on here I knew I had to get rid of the samsung. Almost every review I have read on this set (including the ones below, thank you very much!) has rated it so highly and I can honestly say that it is worth every single last penny, infact its an absolute bargin! Just looking at it without the screen on screams sheer class - the glass skirting with the Sony lighting is fantastic. But when you do press that button on the solid remote control you are heavily rewarded - I should state that I am commenting on the HD quality with a PS3 hooked up via HDMI. The detail is so much better than my previous samsung and the colours are wonderful, and this is all with factory settings. I have optimised my set with Digital Video Essentials, which Amazon stock, and for those of you that want to make the most of this screen I strongly recommend this, the end result is near perfect. Playing PS3 games and watching Blu Ray discs is just so much more pleasurable now than with the Samsung - it really is better than a cinema. However I don't output the audio to the TV, I have a sound system for that - as alot of you will know, most LCD/Plasma speakers are useless, this one included - but if I'm only watching freeview then the TV speakers are fine. Talking of freeview - the in-built digital tv is great quality, standard def visuals look spot on but do look flat and washed out after hours of 1080p experience! The programme guide is very user friendly and not shabby looking like so many freeview boxes.
So to conclude I would have to rate this as a must have for any living room, even if you haven't taken the leap to HD yet - its stylish looks and ultra realistic visuals are sure to blow anyone of you away (apart from those that can afford 6k pioneer plasma's!)
