5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning 1080p HD TV, 3 Sep 2007
By Gagdet Man (The Mallings, Kent) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sony KDL40W2000 - 40" Widescreen Bravia Full HD Ready 1080P LCD TV - With Freeview (Electronics)
I purchased this TV from another site as for once Amazon was not the cheapest. Like many others I have spent months saving up for and reviewing 1080p TVs and it came down to this Sony and the Samsung LE40M87. Having seen both in stores, I could not tell the difference - they are both awesome running from HD sources.

I finally chose the Sony as it is (apparently) easier to set up out of the box, is better at handling normal (SD) transmissions and did not suffer from the reflection problem inherent with the Samsung's glossy back finish. There is a small risk of clouding or backlight bleed with the Sony under certain low light conditions, but the Sony website has some setting adjustments to mitigate this.

When I finally bought it last Thursday (it was delivered on the Friday!) true to form the TV worked straight away and the picture is truly stunning when running from HD sources. With Sky HD (1080i) you forget you are watching a TV and instead believe you are looking though a crystal clear window, the images are so sharp and vivid. With Blu-ray (via PS3 - full 1080p) then expect to be shocked and awed at the detail and colours. That experience is best savoured with a Dolby Dig / DTS sound system.

I may be lucky as I have no sign of the clouding problem mentioned by other owners, in fact the blacks are like velvet, deep enough to dive into - a real surprise given the dominance of plasma screens in this area.

Normal (SD) TV is also handled extremely well - another area where HD TVs can let you down. I have not noticed any difference or drop over my old CRT. But hey, who wants to watch SD anyway when HD is sooooo much better!

The 2 HDMI connectors cater for the current HD sources, although there are another 5 external inputs for when you need them!

I upgraded from 32" CRT to this 40" LCD flat screen but although is stands a little higher it does not take up any more room due to speakers being mounted below the display. If fact you gain room as you can move it closer to the wall.

The standard TV sound is a little flat, but this can be improved by using the 'surround sound' effect option pushing the sound out and forwards - much better.

Overall, for the money (just over £900) this True HD TV is breathtaking, as my open mouthed friends will confess.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mura nonsense, 23 April 2007
By Edgardo Agno (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Sony KDL40W2000 - 40" Widescreen Bravia Full HD Ready 1080P LCD TV - With Freeview (Electronics)
I bought my KDL40W2000 on January 2007 and I am still very much happy with the purchase.

Because high-end LCDs are still pricey I decided to research about the confusing techno terms as well as this particular kit. I have noticed there are a few negative reviews about most LCDs particularly the mura effects which shows purple cloudy patches when displaying deep blacks. This is especially noticable when you switch to an empty signal transmission ie don't connect any signal source. The BRAVIA I bought has some mura effect especially when I look at it from the sides. Having said all this, my viewing experience is not affected because I hardly notice the purple clouds on dark movies nor do I stare at my tv with a blank screen nor watch it from an extreme angle on the sides. The vibrant colors compensate for this small problem on this tv. Watching planet earth on sky HD is still amazingly clear and crisp. Watching bond 007 on PS3's blue ray dvd player is even more engaging than watching it in the cinema. The red mud and dusts when playing motor storm on PS3 makes me wet. Shooting the enemy aliens in gears of war on xbox 360 is a thing of beauty. Zelda and the twilight princess doesn't look too bad either from a Wii!

One important reminder to those new to buying a plasma or lcd tv, you MUST feed your new kit with high definition transmission, otherwise you will be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars KDL-40W2000 or Samsung LE40M86BD?, 24 July 2007
By Santos (Ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sony KDL40W2000 - 40" Widescreen Bravia Full HD Ready 1080P LCD TV - With Freeview (Electronics)
Can't fault it. Online reviews tend to go too technical and talk about black levels that no normal folk can tell the difference between. Colour is stunning and the blacks are just that. Black. I have not seen any so called clouding issues either. Does a great job with SD input from Sky Digital which is what I use it for most.

Chose it over the Samsung M86/87 as the Samsung reflective finish was too much. It made the set look overstyled and detracted from viewing as it reflected the smallest thing. The Sony LCD has the advantage of not reflecting. In the end the Samsung had better connectivity but I think that was the only advantage it had.
