Sony Bravia KLV-40ZX1M

By (cnet.com)

Ultrathin panel creates a high-tech design ; hidden cords ; relatively accurate color ; numerous picture controls ; energy efficient

Extremely expensive ; subpar black-level performance and color saturation ; uneven screen uniformity ; scant connectivity with just one HDMI input

As the first large-screen edge-lit LED-based LCD, Sony's KLV-40ZX1M looks stunning turned off, but it falls short when powered up.

The Sony KLV-40ZX1M offers a 120Hz refresh rate along with Sony's MotionFlow...

Sony Bravia KLV-40ZX1M LCD HDTV First Impressions Review - Intro

By Marianne Schultz (televisioninfo.com)

Sony Bravia ZX1 (KDL-40ZX1)

By Ian Morris (cnet.co.uk)

The 40-inch Sony Bravia KDL-40ZX1 LCD TV with LED edge lights looks stunning and is remarkably thin. Also capable of receiving a 1080i signal wirelessly -- which means less cable clutter -- it's a good choice if you want a TV whose mere appearance ...

Beautiful design ; wireless connectivity is a technological step in the right direction

Patchy wireless connectivity ; can receive only a 1080i signal wirelessly ; expensive

The Sony Bravia KDL-40ZX1 is a wonderful-looking TV that's basically all style and no substance. The wireless system offers only a 1080i resolution and still can't manage to send a consistent signal over relatively short distances. Hi-def pictures are ...

Sony is not a company that's enjoying the success it used to. Its computer...

Manufacturer's Description

Sony's thinnest 40" diagonal monitor includes the performance and Full HD 1080p resolution of BRAVIA Z-Series HDTVs, the revolutionary Sony BRAVIA KLV-40ZX1M LCD Flat Panel Monitor lets you see the world from a whole new angle.
