Good value I've been really pleased with this HDTV. I had read that one of the weaknesses of LCD monitors is that they tend to blur fast moving images (like in action movies) so I held out for a model that had a 10 bit processor and 8ms response and I have yet to see any blurring in either movies or video games.
Another complaint I've heard about LCD is that they have difficulty producing deep blacks. Again, this has not been the case with the KDL-40V3000. To get a picture I was really hap...

Audible Digital Noise From the Speakers The picture is great, but there is an audible digital noise that comes out from the speakers. You would never hear this noise over the ambient noise in a retail store, but you can certainly hear it in a quiet environment. This is a constant level noise that is present from all the inputs, even is there is no source connected. It only goes away if you use the mute button, or run the volume down to zero.
I've called Sony customer support (bad experience, and one of the main reasons f...

Great Picture With Some Minor Flaws I recently bought this like several other reviewers for a few hundred less than the current price a few weeks ago. The Eagle delivery shipping time and handling was superb (about 4 days to ship). The shipper volunteered to stick around while I set it up, but I let him go.
I originally was going to buy this at local retailer, but the price difference was over $500 at Amazon. I compared this model to several other models and picked this one because it has the best screen quality IM...

Great HDTV After doing much research, just bought this 40" from Sony as part of main home theatre system. I cannot say enough about it. I was at first little skeptical about buying a 40" for a 7-8 foot viewing distance. This turned out to be a non issue. This HDTV is everything everyone says it is. It has amazing HD picture quality. The SD 480i channels are good as well. On screen menus are easy and intuitive. You'll find yourself watching programs that you would not normally watch because of the awesome p...

As Always - SONY, No Baloney I've been buying Sony TVs for more than 30 years, and they rarely disappoint. The 40" Bravia is no exception. Last year I bought the 70" SXRD model for my living room, and the 40" is for the bedroom. Many televisions are high quality and prices are dropping, so why get the Sony?
Picture quality is excellent, especially in high def.
Sound quality is very good without a home theater setup. Not always the case with flat panel TVs with small bezels.
Remote is w...

Great TV Very good picture quality, no glare problems and no discernible viewing angle problems. The Amazon price was several hundred dollars less than any other place I checked, ie Best Buy, Circuit City, Sears, Sony and even better than Army/Air Force Exchange service. The delivery was painless. The delivery compary called and made an appointment, delivered, unpacked, placed the unit where I wanted, helped with initial on screen setup and hauled the trash away. I recommend buying an extended warranty f...

Sony's back: 2500V vs. 3000V First, it's good to see that Sony has decided to go with competitive pricing and regain some of the ground it's lost to Samsung in market share. But with the 2500V and 3000V series priced so closely, a consumer could be forgiven for postponing a decision. Suffice it to say that either set is capable of delivering a stunning picture, with the differences more dependent on settings and calibration than on internal specs. A difference of 2 bits in the color processor or several thousand degrees ...

Very Good TV I did some research, but I have to admit, I am a Sony-oholic. This is my first LCD flat panel TV. I was sure the HD TV signals would look fantastic. I was skeptical about what an analog cable signal would look like. I have an early version of an HD TV that leaves much to be desired.
This TV has an absolute stunning picture no matter what the signal source. I unboxed this TV, plugged it in, and did a channel search. No adjustments, and the picture is outstanding. I really can'...

This TV does everything right The value of a TV comes down to more than Price divided by Screen Size. If you have a friend who bought the biggest TV they could afford and had you over to watch a movie, only to spend the entire night pushing buttons and asking "Does that look right to you?", then you know that it *is* possible to spend a whole lot of money on a TV and still end up with a lousy picture. This isn't the TV that your friend will buy.
Aesthetically, the set is gorgeous. The piano black frame is reflec...

Broken screen, sent back I write this review to share my experience with anyone thinking about buying a large item like an HDTV through Amazon. Make sure you have the delivery company unbox and turn on the tv to check out any possible damage. This week I took delivery of a KDL-40V3000, to my disappointment the tv was badly damaged, the screen had a football shaped set of cracks from the bottom to 4 to 6 inches up. The damage was not apparent until the tv was actually turned on. The delivery person (Eagle Delivery) was v...
