Sony Bravia KDL52W4000

By Campbell Simpson (goodgearguide.com.au)

Sony's KDL52W4000 is an exemplary Full HD panel. It's surprisingly slim, with great contrast and brightness and a price tag that is actually quite rea...

Vibrant, clear picture, handles 1080p content brilliantly

Standard-definition video looks blurred and interpolated, no 100Hz support

It stumbles on standard definition content and doesn't support 100Hz picture technology, but Sony's 52 inch W series LCD is hard to fault in high definition picture quality tests.

Not just extra pixels

Avoid if you're a Freeview fanatic, but high-def fans after the best 32-incher around should audition the 32W4000 now.

The KDL-32W4000 has a rather plain design, with a wide black bezel and a long silver speaker grille under the screen.

Sony Bravia KDL-40W4000 review

By Ian Morris (cnet.co.uk)

A great TV from Sony. We wouldn't say it's the best-looking piece of kit we've ever seen, but the picture is brilliant and the sound is impressive too

Picture and sound quality ; Ease of use ; Menu system

Design is rather random ; Could have more HDMI inputs at the back ; Backlight is too bright

For competition, take a look at Toshiba's picture-frame Regza 40ZF355D or the excellent Panasonic Viera TH-46PZ85, both of which offer amazing 1080p performance, with the Panasonic offering superb blacks and the Toshiba specialising in very natural motion

Sony Bravia KDL-40W4000 Full HD 40in LCD TV

By John Archer (trustedreviews.com)

Award: Recommended!

Sony rights the wrongs of the past with its latest Full HD 40in LCD TV.

After misfiring so badly with its previous LCD set, Sony has returned to form in quite spectacular fashion with the 40W4000. In fact, this TV isn't just good, it's shockingly good.
