Although I am a first time LCD TV purchaser, I did a lot of research before buying.  Given the size of my family room, a 40-inch LCD appeared to be the best choice; I picked Sony because I've owned several and they all performed great!  After hooking up Comcast HD cable I was blown away with the picture.  Unfortunately, not all channels are broadcast in HD so it's a little disappointing when switching to a non-HD channel, but still much better than the old analog CRT.  Additionally, sports channels like ESPN-HD are great.  I am definitely ready for the Cubs march to the post season... review »

this television is amazing. the picture represents a very realistic feel. the quality is great on this thing. i would trade in some more t.v.'s for one like this. it is my replacement. this is my tevelvision of choice. hook up a surround sound system and you will feel as if there is a movie theather right in front of your eyes. the sleek look and polished exterior makes it stand out as one of a kind. my overall impression is completely impressed. i cant beleive i have experience t.v. this way, ignorance is bliss i will never be able to go back. from now on its bigger and better for me

This television has amazing quality for high-definition content. I was considering getting something more expensive with a higher refresh rate (hz), but I'm glad I didn't because I can't tell a difference between the quality of those sets and this one. And for an extra $1000 or more, its definitely not worth it.

One drawback to this television is that it often produces a subpar picture for non-HD content. If that's going to be the majority of what will be played on the television, I'd recommend something else.

Bought this for my son for Christmas.  Price was $ 1200.00 with a package deal on a PS3 for an additional $ 399.  He loves it of course.  What kid would not want his own 40" LCD in his bedroom and a PS3 for he and his friends (and dad of course).

The HDMI inputs allow easy connection with all the new digital components on the market.  Sony is a quality brand and the Bravia system has a proven track record.

 

Only negative is the refresh rate is 60hz, which means motion is a little blurry at times.  The newer TV's with 120hz are much better but cost nearly twice as much.

 

Hope this review helps...

We picked out this TV for our family room and what a great TV it is. I will never buy another TV except for Sony and it produces a great and high quality picture. The LCD HD picutre is unbelivable. The TV was at a great price compared to others the same size. Even the picture with out HD is a great quality. We have always purchased Sony and have always had great TV's. People who are looking to buy a Sony LCD TV should buy it as they will not be disappointed on their asset. This TV will last a long time!

The picture quality of this LCD is top rated. I also have a larger plasma and I prefer to watch the 40" Sony Bravia LCD. One remote handles it all. Programs that are broadcast in HD make you feel as if you are actually in the same area as the show.

There are more expensive brands and models but I can't imagine having any better quality than this Sony so why pay more.

Absolutely great HD picture. Every channel is so bright and crisp. The clarity in HD cannot be matched by any TV ive seen in its price range, when i bought it. I have the tv almost two years and i purchased for around $1600.

 Very happy with thsi product.

The HD picture on this television is true to real life. It's so clear and detailed! I recommend this for any hard core gamers or Football fanatics! It's also a lovely center piece for any living room. :-)

We love our Sony HDTV. The picture is clear and the picture options are awsome. The built-in HDTV kept us from having to get one of those box things. With a digital entenna we are able to pick up several local channels. I am not the most technical person, but even I could set this one up.

sony bravia 40" tv in hdtv has gotten me to watch tv again.  just by chance saw it at  a great price at sam's club (less than 1000) and took a chance with it.  yesterday had direct tv people come out and hook up the hd part of it.  no comparison to what i had been watching before.  as the price comes down, i may consider getting another sony bravia because once one has watch "any show" on hd, there is no going back or get it as a great holiday gift for the family next year.

it came with the stand or hook to set the tv in place and it is very easy to assemble.  one does not need an engineering...

The Bravia V-Series KDL-40V2500 40-inch Digital LCD TV from Sony provides an amazing backlit 40-inch picture, amplified and enhanced surround sound that brings cinema-like experience to your living room. Enjoy all your favorite TV programs, sports, movies and video games in the brilliant detail of Full HD 1080. Even non-HD channels are up-converted to 1080p for life-like images. Clear and Crisp. Pros: Great picture, great sound, easy to use, multiple set-up options, multiple input methods.Cons: More expensive than the others (like Samsung, Sharp, Toshiba). No Cable Card, no Picture-inhe quality... review »
