How To Buy an LCD HDTV
By Robert Heron (pcmag.com)
It's rare to find an HDTV at any price that delivers near-accurate color right out of the box, but the 46-inch Sony Bravia KDL-46V3000 did exactly that. The set further impressed me with its ink-like black levels and dark screen material that together...
Superb color accuracy. Impressive image contrast.
Considerable smearing in motion scenes. Narrow viewing sweet spot. Film-mode detection was inconsistent. Excessive overscan with standard definition and component 720p video.
Sony's Bravia KDL-46V3000 delivered the best out-of-box color I've seen from any HDTV, but unacceptable image blurring when displaying dark scenes as well as a narrow viewing sweet spot make it difficult to recommend.
As one of Sony's most affordable 1080p LCDs, the KDL-46V3000 also came close to receiving my highest recommendation. Sadly, despite an otherwise strong showing, when displaying scenes depicting lots of motion, the KDL-46V3000 was among the most...

Review: Sony Bravia KDL-46V3000 LCD TV
By Marshal M. Rosenthal (e-gear.com)
My first color TV was a Trinitron, and I spent the extra money because I knew the Sony name meant quality.
This display can also accept the optional Internet Video Link. It plugs into the back of the set and uses a broadband connection to stream online content. I didn't have one to try out but have seen it demonstrated, and the setup is pretty hassle-free

Sony KDL-40 V 3000
By Florian Friedrich (televisions.com)
Combined tuner for analog TV, DVB-C and DVB-T; Fluid HDTV playback in 1080p/24 format; Very good Scart-RGB input for analog set-top boxes
Slow channel changing; Mediocre sound with little bass; Judder on 1080i Blu-ray signals
Within the LCD fraternity, the flat-panels from the Japanese manufacturer Sony are generally among the best sets on the market. The 40" KDL-40 V 3000 is no exception. The Sony KDL-40 V 3000 scores highly, right across the board. It is rare that a set...
It is equally well suited to home-theater and everyday use with its variable backlighting.

Sony KDL40V3000 Review - 40" Bravia 1080p HD LCD TV
By Vincent Teoh (hdtvtest.co.uk)
Award: Qualified Recommendation
The mid-range V3000 series sit one rung below the more accomplished W3000 range in Sony's somewhat mazy hierarchy of LCD televisions. Because a lot of ground has been covered in our Sony KDL-40W3000 review, on this page I'm only going to highlight...
Smooth 1080p/24 handling without internal conversion nor interpolation ; Excellent shadow detail delineation ; Exquisite high-definition detail from [Full Pixel] 1:1 mapping
Calibrated black level not as deep as W3000/ X3500/ Samsung M86/ F86 ; Undefeatable auto-dimming when screen is black/ near-black ; Lacks white balance controls in user menu for greyscale calibration
Sony KDL40V3000 is an above average LCD television whose biggest appeal is its relatively inexpensive price (for a full HD Sony LCD TV).
