The picture quality is absolutely superb, yet again sony has made an outstaning product. I have it connected to my ps3 and it does 1080p resolution which is crystal clear, although the sound quality could be better. But i solved this problem by simply connecting it to a surroundsound system and now its absolutely fine. If you're considering getting one then i advise you not to put it on a wall bracket because it is quite hard to connect other devices to the t.v as you cant see whats behind it.I would also advise you to buy a surround sound sstem, i personally know that bose make really high quality ones, although they are expensive they are absolutely worth it. This t.v is simply 40 inches of unblemished perfection. I would advise you to buy this t.v.
Advantages: Price. picture quality Disadvantages: Things have been left out
...negligible. My main problem is Sony itself. Of course they have to hold things back for their "Flagship" models, but they held back a thing called Motionflow. It's called many things from different companies, but this is just the standard name I use. This is in most televisions these days, sometimes even budget ones (rarely) but it was left out of the TVs between the D3000 and the X3000, which is strange, I think anyway as motionflow doubles the ... ...smoother.
Also, I find that the Standard definition can be quite poor; it's quite good over the built-in freeview but through terrestrial it can get ridiculous. I use sky though so there is no real problem for me. The non-HD images onscreen though seem a little stretched, and no one can say it's because of the screen size. I have seen 50inch Plasmas with amazing SD. It's just missing a few things inside, which isn't great. I can get past this though ...

Quick review of Sony KDL-40V3000 Review ofSony KDL-40V3000by
frank462
Recently taken delivery of this tv and all i can say is WOW! did plenty of research and narrowed it down to this, LG or samsung (equivalent models) since then i've seen the others in action and boy, did i make the right choice! Sony may of been slow to fully commit to leading their range with LCD, but now they have, lucky us. I can say with confidence that nothing else below £1500 can touch this set unless you get the next model up on sale.

Advantages: Build, design and remote and sound Disadvantages: Not the cheapest and set up was not straight forward
I used to have a Samsung but sold it as was not so happy with the quality of the whole package. I looked carefully for my next TV as I wanted to make sure I didn't have to swap it after a year or so, so I went on a very popular model like this Sony. I found it through www.comparebase.com. Main benefits are as follows: Stand base feels very secure unlike the Samsung I had. There is a massive range of edit options for the picture, not just the usual ... ...has a load of options to change the picture to get it just right for the kind of broadcast you watch. I watch a lot of sports and this allowed me to pick a picture suited to live television.
Disadvantages - It weighs an obsolute ton, and although I realise it's a big TV it certainly feels noticably heavier than the Samsung model. Also I have seen many other similar spec models for around £200 less which would be an issue for some.
I got it for ...
