Quick review of Sony KDL-40 U 2000
Well - I started off purchasing a KDLD3000, instead of this, although only WXGA, I thought the better blacks and faster screen of the D3000 would be better. Boy was I wrong. I sent back the D3000 and re-ordered the X2000. The pictuer quality is still far superior than I have seen on any other Full HD LCD screen. The EX engine drives bette than the standard Bravia, and as such I have not seen any motion blur that you quite often get with LCD's. It will be superceded this year by Sonys new KDL40HD1080, but improving on near perfection is going to be difficult. They have just dropped the price in readiness, so at 14-1600£ it is areally worthwhile purchase right now. Great TV ...
Advantages: excellent picture and sound quality Disadvantages: can be expensive unless you get a good deal on it
...panasonic LCD tv is amazing.The sony LCD has a much clearer picture with its "Bravia HD engine" which in my opinion made colours that you didnt even know existed pop onto your screen. you can set the mode of colours for your own liking from extra bright down to dull. it has excellent sound quality from its many speakers perfect if your watching a movie as you feel like you have surround sound. the one down side to the tv is the look of it compared ... ...quite plain looking although this may be to other peoples liking!!
i also had a problem receiving the built-it DV3 programmes.i could only receive the BBC channels.if i didnt have sky i would have been very disappointed paying so much money and not receiving the channels meant to be received.
other than that the tv is very easy to use. menus are clearly layed out and it is easy to tune and set up with the help of the easy to read and understand ...

Advantages: HD, 6.2 megapixel, reliable, really really big Disadvantages: none to speak of
Well I'm going to tell you about my experience with the KDL-40 that I bought last month:
Firstly - wow 40 inches! Its really big obviously, so you can do basically any screen-orientated thing without having to squint to see what's going on.
Well I've never really been a plasma fan, but this screen is really quite amazing. It supports EVERYTHING.
Since we're moving into HD in the UK, its quite convenient that the KDL-40 (as I will call it from ... ...didn't know, these are high definition (HD) display modes, capable of amazing picture quality. If you don't get that then all you need to know is having HD is GOOD!
OK, now something else. Something else that means pretty much the same thing though.
This TV is part of the X-Series (ooh, fancy name), and I think this is a new "series" of televisions and this is the only one in it at the moment.
Don't quote me on this, but I think this television ...

Advantages: customer service and sony quality Disadvantages: bit too priecy
...problem was absolutely fantastic.
The Sony KDL-40 U 2000 is quite pricey and not as flash as some, but the quality of the image is quite something else. Personally I'm quite a fan of the planet earth series and to see this in what they call true color, which is as close to nature as its possible to get is quite breathtaking. This is all down to the new BRAVIA ENGINE, pioneering technology in color reproduction.
However be warned, when watching ...
