Looks absolutely superb - sleek design Outstanding picture quality across all imputs (especially Blu Ray) TV can swivel for viewing angle

Side HDMI ports are badly designed - it is a tight fit getting HDMI cables in Don't like the way the Sony logo lights up on the front! Poor sound if not using a surround system

remote functionality excellent and easy to use. Bright and clear picture with added vibrancy.

How are we supposed to clean the screen? (easily smears). Otherwise best damn TV ever.

Sony KDL-40EX401

 

This model is in the lower price range of the Sony products so you're not going to get the same perfrormance as higher priced models. Having said that this purchase is the latest of a long line of Sony purchases, replacing an older Sony Bravia, which...

The plastic surround has a sheen which makes it look cheap, but with sensible lighting this need not be a huge problem.
