BRAVIA V4000 Series LCD TV |
| The HD Ready 1080p BRAVIA V4000 Series LCD TVs with Freeview come 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 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 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 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 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. |
 | 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. |
 | HDMI Sockets The V4000 Series has 3 X HDMI Sockets – 2 at the rear of the set & one at the side. |
 | 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 V4000 has BRAVIA Engine 2 for viewing videos and Photo TV HD for viewing still images. |
 | 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). |

I've just bought this TV in a package with a Blu-ray player (Sony 350) and I have to say I am very pleased.
I got a couple of free disks. First of all I gave XxX a whirl. Not the greatest film in the world but looked great, nice and crisp. Same with Pans Labarynth.
As for the TV itself...Screen gives nice big picture. Blacks of pretty good, not perfect but for the money you are doing well. Digital TV gives nice picture, Im going to get Freesat at some point as my freeview reception is hit and miss.
Downside is watching older programmes. I watched Dads Army and as another reviewer mentioned you get to see the warts and all of the poorer quality of the old recording. Going to watch a digitally remastered old Dr Who tonight to see how that fares. Watched Revenge of the Sith last night on normal DVD and the picture was fantastic so glad I wont have to rebuy all my DVDs again.
So in concluding, well worth considering as you seem to get a nice bit of telly for the money. My only other advice is haggle! I went to Sony Centre and quoted Amazon prices and I got the Blu-ray player and 5 year gaurantee.

I was rather reluctant to replace a 32 inch Toshiba that had served me well for about 5 years. Why get rid of something still working well? I'm not fussed about paying for high definition. I just got fed up with the sheer size of my Toshiba compared with these new HD sets.
This TV is truly excellent. I have it set up with Sky+ and an Apple TV box and an HDMI link to a Blu Ray DVD player. Pictures from all sources are far better than I expected. The quality is so good that I don't think I will be rushing to pay more for an HD Sky box yet awhile. It is also so much lighter than a 4 year old plasma I have in another room and therefore more easy to manoeuvre. So for picture quality, sound and general appearance, I'm delighted with it. I was a bit reluctant to go back to black but it looks good on a black glass stand. Even my old black Rogers floorstanders look good with it. I play the TV with all sources through an integrated hi fi amp. Can't be doing with too many speakers in the lounge. Buy with confidence.

I've just bought the KDL40V4000 as part of a (slow) move to HD across my ageing home cinema system, and I'm absolutely delighted with it. I'm glad I finally decided to buy just after the V4000 replaced the Sony V3000 and V3500 models I've been looking at all year. I tend to be a Sony fan for TVs, having had a long history of reliable models over the years, although I've also bought Panasonic, JVC Toshiba and even Samsung in the past. I looked at all of the available models, and although it was close the Sony picture kept looking the best in the various showrooms. Then a favourable, 5 star What Hifi review pushed me over the edge. For me, this 40 inch LCD TV replaces a JVC 32inch widescreen TV, which looks and feels like a monster alongside the latest LCD technology (not looking forward to carrying that up to the bedroom where it's going next!). The new slim TV, when fitted on an Alphason ST600 90 stand takes up pretty much the same footprint as the JVC, sitting between the two stacks of my hifi/av system. The simple and elegant piano black styling is a definite improvement over the earlier models, and it looks very stylish (except for that big mess of cables to my particular hifi configuration that are now in view - have to think of a solution for that). I couldn't stretch my budget to the W or higher models which have some extra bells, whistles and processing, but this TV has all of the things I wanted - 1920x1080 resolution / 1080p, 24p for true cinema, enough HDMI inputs (3), PC connectivity (just in case), and Freeview.
Eventually I'll upgrade to BluRay and Sky HD, but for the moment my main sources are a Sky Plus box, a veteran Sony DVP-S725D DVD player, a Sony VCR/DVD recorder, and a Canon HD camcorder. I haven't bothered to listen to the sound, as I use my surround system (which for the record has a Yamaha DSP-E800 processor, Roksan and Rotel power amps and Monitor Audio and Boston Acoustics speakers). The TV only has 2 SCART sockets, so I switched the DVD player to component input with a QED Qunex cable. Setup was easy, and the remote and menus are good. The performance of the TV is everything I hoped for, and a bit more. The colours are natural, there is a real sense of depth, with great contrast and blacks that are really black. Of course with standard satellite material, you can see more of the imperfections of the medium, or more detail on a newscaster's face than you'd really like to see, but putting that aside my favourite shows, or the current coverage of the Olympics look great. With DVD I was blown away. Tested with LOTR The Return of the King special edition DVD, the detail, depth and sharp edges are just excellent, the landscapes awesome - I started to watch the movie and forget what I was doing, a sure sign that a test is going well. Whereas I was expecting to be pushed in to buying a BluRay player very quickly, I'll be more than happy to use this with my current DVD player and material for a long time. Overall I think this is an excellent LCD TV, and at this price is fantastic value for money.

Super Sony 40" LCD TV
Bought this to replace an old Toshiba 32" Widescreen CRT.
What an amazing transformation. Whites and blacks are far far better and 1080P looks crispy than real life, Wow!
