Advantages: Picture Quality
Disadvantages: None!

...portrayal and solid connectivity, the Sony KDL40W4000Buy this for £885.00 at Dixons Britain's leading HDTV retailer does show some areas of improvement over the outgoing W3000 series: calibrated black level is slightly deeper; standard-def scaling is better; and there's no longer any black/ near-black auto-dimming. Unfortunately (perhaps as an inevitable consequence of cost-cutting) there are a couple of components which got worse: white balance ...
...this time of writing the Sony KDL40W4000Buy this for £885.00 at Dixons Britain's leading HDTV retailer remains the best LCD HDTV - in terms of both picture and sound quality - we've reviewed in 2008. We haven't seen the latest Samsung 5 and 6 series nor Toshiba's ZF range of LCD TVs, but equalling (let alone surpassing) the stellar performance delivered by the Sony KDL40W4000 will be no easy feat.'' ...

Advantages: Great looks, great picture, great sound, great price
Disadvantages: very little

This TV is fantastic, I've now had mine for 3 weeks and could not be happier with it. I switched from a Samsung 32" 720p and the difference in picture quality at 1080p is amazing. The set up of the TV is a little bit troublesome and it had me fooled until I worked out that it sometimes doesn't recognise an HDMI connection unless you turn it off and then on again. Other than that, the standby light and red back look great, picture quality is fantastic ...
...the best I have come across. If I had to criticise this at all the only thing I can think of would be that the standby light is a little window, I'm sure this is meant to be stylish, only problem is I can see the cables through mine :o) ... Read review

Advantages: Picture quality
Disadvantages: Can be a bit confusing to set up at first

I got this tv for Christmas last year and i ahve to say, if i had to rescue somethign from my house if ti was burning, this would definitely be it. I don't know how i would live without it.

Advantages: The Sound is excellent, it looks beautiful.
Disadvantages: Nope. Not one.

The Panasonic TX-37LZD800 is to put it simply a beauiful television. A recent product, I decided to buy after my big huge heavy old TV broke mysteriousley one night! When scouring around the internet, I came across this and within a week later here it is set up just behind me as I type now. --- The Design ----- It has a very similar design to most other new range LCD tele's out there - I mean, its a tele, how much difference could there be? It is ...
...edge at the bottom of the screen gives a sleek look and there is also a very nice silver trim to the tele, which runs the entire distance around the screen. The speakers are so slim and compact they are barely noticable at each side. It is simply a very classy TV which everytime you look at it will instantly cheer you up as you think to yourself, "yeah im doing ok for myself here aren't I?" ---- Features ---- If I were to list every feature that ...

Advantages: Sony Build Quality, sparkly blue frame...
Disadvantages: Currently Overpriced compared to rivals, disappointing picure for price.

Unfortunately sony are missing the mark quite dramatically with their newer tvs. Yes they are still good on standard definition, and yes they do look stunning when displaying blue ray due to the 1080p output but when compared to similar spec'd tvs at much lower prices they start to look a lot less attractive. Current prices mean that in some cases you can get a better tv for less money. For example in john lewis this tv is selling for £799, whereas ...
...a tv that also has a resolution of 1080p but that has the added extra of the 100hz motion picture pro 2. Aside from the comparison to other better value tvs, i have noticed some aspects of this set that do not appeal to me. One, for my personal viewing i find there is either too much noise on the picture (little whiteish dots) or if you turn the contrast and sharpness down enough to solve this, the picture is too rounded and bland. My advice is to ... Read review
