Immerse yourself in outstanding color reproduction and 1080p picture quality with the KDL-40V3000 LCD Flat Panel HDTV.
BRAVIA V-Series televisions are where Full HD 1080 starts. Performance functions like Live Color Creation and the 10-bit panel display assure picture quality, while BRAVIA Theater Sync offers easy one-button operation for enjoying a Sony A/V system. Add a sparkling new black picture frame design, quiet operation, and you have the new BRAVIA V-Series HDTV.
When it comes to high-definition TV the pinnacle of performance is achieved by using 1920 x 1080 display panels. And BRAVIA V-Series televisions have them. Full HD 1920 x 1080 panel resolution with over 2 million pixels (more than twice that of 720p HDTV) is exactly what you need to reproduce the 1080p content. And working with BRAVIA Engine EX everything from standard definition and high definition is upconverted to 1080p for a picture so real it's like you're actually there.
While it's great to state that a TV is capable of creating billions of colors it's a whole lot better when you have a display that can actually display them. That's the logic behind Sony's 10-bit processor and 10-bit display. Sony follows 10-bit processing with a 10-bit panel, allowing 64 times the levels of color expression than an 8-bit panel. What that translates to is smoother transitions from color to color and subtle color changes faithfully reproduced.

I bought this Sony because it was the first HD TV I would own. I had the Bravia model ( 2002) Vega style and was very happy with it. So I saved the cash bought it at a great price at Kmart and have been very very please since.
I just wanted to say that I bought a basic Sony 40" lcd four years ago and it has been flawless in every way. You cannot go wrong with Sony.
This was our first LCD and I researched them to death. I could not help but notice that every time I walked into Sears or one of the big box stores that one TV stood out for clarity, crispness and color. It was always the Sonys. Sears matched the local warehouse price and gave me ten percent off. We have had the TV since March and are very satisfied. We moved to a house with a longer living room and are considering getting the 46 inch for our living room and moving the 40 into a spare bedroom-den. Study them all and then buy the Sony.
You can be sure we'll offer you the best available options every step of the way.
