Manufacturer's Description

Sony BRAVIA KDL-L4000
Sony Logo
Bravia Logo
BRAVIA 40" L4000 Series LCD TV

The HD Ready 1080p BRAVIA 40"L4000 Series LCD TV with Freeview is fully loaded with technology in a stunning new design. BRAVIA Engine 2 works to maximise the potential from any signal and, coupled with a Dynamic Contrast Ratio of 33,000:1, delivers an excellent viewing experience whatever you are watching.

HD1080p
HD1080p
HD 1080p offers you very high resolution to generate it’s picture. The ‘p’ stands for ‘progressive scan’, which scans all the lines at once to add stability & smoothness to fast-moving images. This makes 1080p TV’s excellent for sport broadcast & games.

Integrated Digital Tuner / Freeview
Integrated Digital Tuner / Freeview
Having an integrated Digital Freeview Tuner means that your TV has a built in receiver that will give you access to many more channels without the need to have any additional hardware, such as a Freeview box. In 2007, the government began switching UK broadcasting to digital, so if your TV doesn’t have an integrated digital tuner feature you wont be able to view any channel without buying the additional hardware.

BRAVIA Engine 2
BRAVIA Engine 2
You can’t have too much of a good thing, so we designed BRAVIA ENGINE 2. By using our most innovative technologies like intelligent noise reduction and Advanced Contrast Enhancer, BRAVIA ENGINE 2 builds on the power of the acclaimed BRAVIA ENGINE and adds four new image processing stages. What’s more, BRAVIA ENGINE 2 incorporates full digital signal processing, which means that it can enhance many different signals.

Dynamic Contrast
Dynamic Contrast
Contrast ratio is improved and all shades between the brightest white and the darkest blacks are maintained, so the picture has more depth and detail.

This is achieved as the backlight brightness adjusts according to the brightness of the scene. Sony’s unique dynamic contrast system features ACE (advanced contrast enhancer) which ensures all of the subtle shades of grey are maintained. The L4000 Series delivers a Dynamic Contrast Ratio of 33,000:1.

BRAVIA Sync
BRAVIA Sync
BRAVIA Sync enables the control of your TV and peripheral devices with a single BRAVIA remote through menus displayed on your BRAVIA LCD TV.

It is supported by selected Sony Home Theatre Systems, Blu-ray Disc players, Audio/Video Receivers and Handycam®. Please check the specification of your other Sony products to ensure that it includes BRAVIA Sync.

HDMI Sockets
HDMI Sockets
The L4000 Series has 2 X HDMI Sockets.

Your HDMI socket provides a connection point on your TV that is able to deliver a high definition picture. Quite simply, the more HDMI sockets that you have on your BRAVIA LCD TV, the more components you are able to link up to for HD picture quality, for instance, a Blu-ray player, your camcorder and your gaming console. Having the socket located in the front of the TV means that you no longer have to get into awkward positions or move the unit in order to gain access to the connection point, great if you’re viewing your photos on your TV via your digital camera.

Photo TV HD
Photo TV HD
Photo TV HD picture processing technology designed to faithfully reproduce the natural beauty of your still images when viewed on your HD Ready 1080p BRAVIA LCD TV. Whereas all other TVs have technology designed to optimise video images, the BRAVIA L4000 has BRAVIA Engine 2 for viewing videos and Photo TV HD for viewing still images.

In order to enjoy PhotoTV HD, the PhotoTV HD-compatible TV and device need to be connected either with component or HDMI. Connection through component requires the user to manually select the Photo picture mode. When connected via HDMI, the television will automatically switch to Photo mode.

24P True Cinema
24P True Cinema
'24p True Cinema' mode, is a perfect match for movies. Film is shot at 24 frames per second, but UK televisions operate at 25 frames per second. This means that when you watch a movie on DVD, you are seeing it sped up by 4 per cent. '24p True Cinema' enables the panel to display films at their intended 24fps (frames per second).

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great Value, 4 Nov 2008
    By Big Stew (Lincolnshire UK) - See all my reviews
    Had the TV for 2 days now ,it was very easy to set up and tune in. Still waiting for Sky to install a HD box ,but the picture quality is very impressive even without it. The sound is good but not as good as on my old flat screen 36" Panasonic but that could be down to the size of the cabinate. But all in all I would go out and buy this model again now I've seen and watched it.I now have Sky HD and the results with this Sony are simply amazing.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Sony KDL-40L4000 Mixed Feelings, 5 Nov 2008
    By S. Yates "Bennyates" (Canterbury, Kent) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    Bought this model nearly 3 weeks ago, and love the styling, quality build and what sold it to me was the Bravia 2 engine and 33000:1 ratio, which is better than most more expensive top range models. Obviously Sony's outstanding reputation is speaks for itself.

    Unfortunately I have been experiencing blurring pictures, white lines and not matter what I do trying to get a clear and sharp picture is becoming tasking.

    Every day I have fiddled with the settings but always get pixelation or something when watching football or sports. I just cannot get a consistent picture, even with my Sky digibox linked up with a gold Ixos scart lead. I will now work through the Bravia handbook for help.

    If anyone can recommend settings for a good picture on this model I would be ever in debt to them.

    Maybe I have a duff model, or setting wrong I just don't know.

    Don't be put off with this review, as I may be the only person currently having these issues.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning Quality and Value, 8 Dec 2008
    By Calum A. Robertson "Cal" (Aberdeen, UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    OK so this telly probably isn't the best on the market and those folks who post on forums and really care about numbers and gadgets will probably look down on it because it doesn't have this feature or that feature...Big Deal!

    This is a fantastic set, particularly for anyone making the first move to HD. It does everything you really need and more without asking you to pay for technology that isn't even available (and probably wont be available for a good 5 or so years).

    Easy to set up out of the box, nice and light and the remote and interface are as user friendly as you would expect (its a Sony after all). The Freeview is a little clunky when switching channels but the tv guide feature more than makes up for this and the picture quality is superb. My 360 looks Lovely through it and as soon as funds allow I'll have it wired up for Blue Ray also (via a PS3 of course).

    My only regret is that I didnt have it before the F1 Season ended - roll on next season!!!
