Sony Bravia KDL-40W3000 HDTV

There's nothing wrong with Sony's 40W3000 LCD set that a good price reduction wouldn't cure. Well, not much, anyway. I noticed some lackluster details in the broadcast high-def tests, but overall the images looked good (in our November issue's HDTV...

Very easy to set up and use Ffreeze feature uses PiP

Expensive

Sony's remote is very long, which makes some buttons difficult to access. On the other hand, it's programmable and backlit

Sony Bravia KDL-40W3000 LCD HDTV

The Basics: In terms of price, the W Series falls in the middle of Sony's LCD lineup, yet it offers many of the same technologies and features found in the company's higher-end XBR4 and XBR5 lines. Like its higher-end brethren, this 40-inch 1080p model...

Sony KDL40W3000 Review: 40" Bravia LCD TV Test (1080p)

It was around this time last year that Sony launched their full HD 1080p W series Bravia LCD televisions that received rave reviews in almost every home theatre magazine: at that time, these were the LCDs that came closest to matching the superior...

Accurate colours with excellent colour decoding ; Excellent black level and shadow detail ; Greyscale tracks extremely well post-calibration ; Superb high-def clarity and revelation with "Full Pixel" 1:1 mapping ; Handles 1080p/24 signal from PS3 well...

Scaling and deinterlacing only average ; Auto-dimming when screen is black/ nearly black

Sony have touted their now-famous slogan "Colour like.no.other™" for more than one year, but it's only now that I've found a model to live up to it. All this while I've never actually been wholly convinced by the colour offerings from all the LCD...

WOW!

Speakers are ok, lack low end response - but given the TV's slim form factor and weight - it's not a complaint!

Picture is outstanding - rich colors, deep black, very bright white.

I turn into a nervous wreck when the kids go crazy with their Wii controllers....

Great Picture

I have always loved Sony TVs - I have found they provide good picture quality for a long time. I finally decided to take the leap into the HD world and so got this TV to replace big, heavy, 35" Sony monster of a TV. I can't say enough about what an...

My only con is really true of all TV purchases today - you have to go buy extra cables to get everything set up!

Great Value

Inspect anything delivered by Eagle Logisitics throughly. I had three deliveries before I had one that was not damaged.

It's great over all value. Great picture. Easy setup.

Not 120 hertz but it's not so bad.

So Happy With This Purchase

I'm extremely happy with this purchase. I spent quite some time researching many different brands and models and I'm so glad I made the decision to purchase this TV. I have this mounted to a corner unit and no matter where you're sitting in the room...

The picture clarity is unbelievable whether I'm viewing in HD or regular.

none that I've encountered so far.
