I had the Bravia since the fall of 2006. I've never seen a better picture, even on a plasma. They were all from flat panels of alignment and the screen is at an angle of 45 degrees. So I could keep down the hall and could the image to see a dozen TV at the same time. The Bravia was head and shoulders above all others. It is light, has a smaller footprint and is incredibly easy to build. They have all my guests commented on the quality of the images, and my brotherset to go and buy a Bravia for themselves. You will not be disappointed!

Sony Bravia KDL-40S2000 40-Inch Flat Panel LCD HDTVItem Specifications

The sleekly styled, silver 40-inch Sony Bravia KDL40S2000 is packed with the latest high-performance video features, including a wide viewing angle, blazing fast 8ms response time (great for sports and action movies), and a wide color gamut backlight that provides more natural skin tones and highly accurate overall color reproduction. It also offers integrated HDTV capabilities (with an integrated ATSC tuner), digital HDMI video connectivity, and a bottom speaker design that helps save space. The thin profile of this Bravia TV accommodates VESA compliant mounting systems (separately available). The removable pedestal swivels 30 degrees left and right and also tilts forward 3 degrees and backward 8 degrees for additional placement flexibility. ptable border=”0″ bgcolor=”blanchedalmond” cellpadding=”0″ cellspacing=”3″ align=”left” width=213trtdimg src=”http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/sony/on-wall.jpg” align=”center”/td/trtrtdfont size=-2With clean lines and styling, Bravia TVs look great in any room, either on a stand or mounted on the wall./font/td/tr/table Like other TVs in the Bravia line, the KDL40S2000 uses Sony’s Wide Color Cold Compact Fluorescent Light (WCG-CCFL) to display a color gamut almost 30 percent larger than a conventional CCFL display, which results in deeper reds, more vivid greens, and cleaner blues. It also offers a high response time (also referred to as refresh rate) of 8 milliseconds (ms), which is able to clearly portray fast-moving images across the screen with well-defined edges and without ghosting (streaking or shadowing). The set’s Light Sensor feature intelligently adjusts the screen brightness to match the ambient light in a room, ensuring a comfortable viewing experience. ptable border=”0″ bgcolor=”#CCFFFF” cellpadding=”3″ cellspacing=”0″ align=”right” width=480trtdimg src=”http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/sony/s-pva.jpg” align=”right”/td/trtrtdPfont size=-2 BRAVIA televisions’ new bSuper-Patterned Vertical Alignment (S-PVA)/b panels divide pixels into more segments than was possible with PVA (Pattered Vertically Aligned) technology. These segments have an incredibly fast 8-millisecond response time that increases the television’s refresh rate. Dividing the pixel display into more segments also allows a cleaner break between dark and light pixels, improving viewing angles, color, and contrast. /font/td/tr/table It also features the latest in Sony’s unique S-PVA (Super Patterned Vertical Alignment) LCD panel technology, which divides each sub-pixel into two segments per color for a more refined consistency in colors, contrast, and brightness at wide viewing angles. This seventh generation Sony LCD panel was specially crafted at Sony’s plant and produced from one of the world’s biggest mother glass (a huge sheet of glass that can be divided to create multiple LCD panels). p The KDL40S2000 has a 1366 x 768-pixel resolution, 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, 178-degree viewing angle, and 1300:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV’s ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.) The Cinemotion 3:2 pulldown cinema video processing detects and compensates film–which is shot at 24 frames per second (fps) compared with video’s 30 fps rate–to video for a smooth theaterlike experience at home. The 3D digital comb filter offers 10-bit signal processing that renders superb gradation of grays, resulting in superior picture detail. ptable border=”0″ bgcolor=”blanchedalmond” cellpadding=”3″ cellspacing=”0″ align=”right” width=150trtdpimg src=”http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/sony/reponse-blur.jpg” align=center/td/trtrtdfont size=-2Blurred image caused by motion artifacts due to slow panel response time of typical LCDs./font/td/trtrtdpimg src=”http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/sony/response-b.jpg” align=center/td/trtrtdfont size=-2BRAVIA’s fast panel response time handles the motion in sports and video games/font/td/tr/table Other convenience features include: ulliWEGA GATE Easy Operation Guide allows you to easily navigate to the most convenient TV functions: favorite channels, TV channel list, external input list, or settings. liFavorite Channels with the WEGA GATE function, allows you to navigate a list of up to 16 favorite channels without leaving the current channel. liWide Screen Mode allows you to watch 4:3 normal broadcasts in wide screen mode (16:9 aspect ratio). liParental Control (V-Chip) helps parents monitor what their children watch on TV by establishing rating limits. liCaption Vision/Info Banner allows closed caption and/or channel programming information to be displayed. liThe Freeze Function temporarily freezes the picture in a separate screen while the programming continues to display, which can come in handy when you want to copy a recipe, phone number, etc. that flashes too quickly across your screen. /ul It pumps out 20 watts of audio power via its integrated bottom-aligned stereo speakers (10 watts per channel).

HDMI supports standard, enhanced or high definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It supports all ATSC formats–standard (SDTV), enhanced (EDTV), and high (HDTV). piComponent video/i (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections.

Customer Reviews

TV broke within 2 years – Magica De Spell – Trumbull, CT
We bought this TV and am very happy with him, we always started bruising in the corners, get the blue rectangles in the lower corners, larger and red rectangles hours in the two bottom corners, which are up to 1 / 3 to develop the screen – very annoying.br / had a repair man for many hours with Sony and the best they could do for the screen of € 1,000.00 which is almost what we paid for the TV replacement. We still use the TV until you can afford to get rid of it,but now the picture fuzzy as well.br / rock band playing on the TV screen, you can not read the word.

40in Sony Bravia – joan –
I love this TV! The picture is very clear and the colors are "normal". Not a geek "or a" man "young" it was wonderful that the instructions were so easy to follow and do!

Poor Sony Customer Service – Unsatisfied Customer – San Diego, CA
br / I bought this TV in Sept'06. The TV has worked hard. Unfortunately, there was a sound from the TV. So I called Sony and asked them to contact me to "Advanced Electronics" (San Diego), one of its authorized service centers. "Advanced Electronics" is probably the most technical incompetence on the planet. Their inability, in addition to their customer service extremely rude. They had my TV for more than 6 weeks, and when he finally returned the TV, the problem stillremained. I called them again and sent to someone's house to solve the problem. The boy has something and left, but the results were the same. So I called again. Turned up the TV again, after two weeks and did not exhibit the problem. My repeated calls were irritating * * with the same answer replied: "Sir, we are still working on your TV. Br / br / I have called dozens of times between Sony and have been helpful. Service Sony has deterioratedOver the years, enormous. br / br / About the TV itself, the image quality of television is very good. It also includes thin. I hope not done with Sony customer service and louts Advanced Electronics.br very / br / br /
