Sony BRAVIA KDL-V40XBR1 40 in. HDTV LCD TV - Pricey, but worth it

Date of Review:  Apr 26, 2006
The Bottom Line: Sony products tend to be a bit pricier but as LCDs go, this is an excellent choice and probably worth the extra money.
Review: One of the ongoing battles among tech nerds is the benefits of LCD versus Plasma HDTVs. Fans of plasma say they are a better picture while LCD aficionados says that LCDs last longer. But as technology improves, the lines will become blurred. Is this...

Date of Review:  Dec 12, 2005
The Bottom Line: The Sony BRAVIA KDL?-V40XBR1 40 in. HDTV LCD Television is a high quality, more dependable alternative to similar plasma sets.

When Will Dire Straits Sing "I Love My HD-TV?!"

Date of Review:  Dec 29, 2006
The Bottom Line: The Sony Bravia 40" HD-TV is a must for any real enthusiast of movies and videos who is looking toward the future.
Review: Several months ago, right before the HD-DVD format war between HD and Blu-Ray was heating up, the wise folks over at the website The Digital Bits were beleaguered with questions over which format was superior and who would win and all that. The Bits...

Big Disappointment

Review: Six weeks after I bought it-it went black. Sony had repair man come out and replace module-still no picture-2 weeks later still waiting for a part. It was a fine picture for 6 weeks but Sony doesn't support the customer with adequate parts supply or...

The Bottom Line: Incredible Television. One that is worthy to have for next several years.
Review: From Agoraquest:

Bought the Sony Bravia in January 2006 and have been very happy with my choice. People who have other brands of HD TV's and have seen this model at my home are also impressed by its picture and the set itself when it is...

Nice, but could be improved

Date of Review:  Oct 29, 2005
Review: Overall, this is a good television; however, there are a couple of improvements that I believe should be made. For example, I have to go though three different menus to turn on closed captioning (my Mitsubishi is one). Also, when I watch a letterbox...

Outstanding quality LCD HDTV

Date of Review:  Feb 23, 2006
Review: I bought this 40in Bravia in November 2005 after reviewing many alternatives and comparing LCD vs plasma. Overall, I'm very happy with the unit. HD, when it is available, is outstandingly crisp. Regular cable signal is good - not excellent -...

Date of Review:  Nov 25, 2005
Review: I bought the new 40" Bravia as we were looking for a medium-large set for the master bedroom. Was focused on LCD due to high levels of light in the bedroom. Love the set. Picture is great, and the contrast is as good as my 50" Pioneer elite plasma...

Awesome

Date of Review:  May 18, 2009
Review: This is my second LCD TV. The other is a competitor product that I purchased for a bedroom. There really is no comparison. The picture is sharp and crisp, setup is easy and the picture is better than many of my neighbors TV's. We watch football over...
