Pros:
Stylish TV especially when compared with the new 40V5000 BE3 model. Full HD with built in freeview HD tuner. Easy to use interface and excellent picture quality.
Cons:
Sound could be better although it is acceptable for a 4.5m x 9m room. Cinema picture mode has too much red, would be better if it was closer to D65. Lack of individual RGB colour calibration in the user menu.
Overall:
When I first got this TV home I was very disappointed as the picture was very bright, lacked crispness and blurred a lot, I was so unimpressed that I almost returned it. After several hours of calibrating the brightness, contrast, sharpness, etc using the THX calibration disk (comes with Finding Nemo) and turning off all of the unneeded features such as live color, dynamic blacks, etc then gave the TV a couple of months to burn in and settle down. It now looks awesome, colors are natural, only on rare occasions have I noticed some blurring, you have to look pretty closely, but thats just LCD technology.
Pros:
Excellent picture quality - really does justice to Blu-Ray. A very nice-looking TV (we have the black one) with a quality feel. The sound (without any added surround package) is good. Easy to install and operate.
Cons:
Nothing.
Overall:
We have the KDL40V4000, which is a very nice size for watching movies in a fairly normal-sized lounge room. We've really enjoyed this as our family TV and we've never had anything to complain about. I imagine that you could get extra special sound if you had a surround sound package added on, but we are not audiovisual experts so we're perfectly happy with it as is. Can't comment on gaming and so on, because we don't do that.
Pros:
Beautiful picture, great sound, full HD, more channels. Plenty of plugs for the playstation. Easy to install. Love the fact that these new tv's are self programming, anyone can install one. No need to pay an expensive installer.
Cons:
Nothing. We sometimes get trouble with Channel 10 but think this is more to do with the reception that the tv.
Overall:
We have the KDL40V4000. This is our first LCD television and the whole family is happy. It was a great price. When purchasing the salesman tried to sell us a surround sound package but for a small lounge such as ours it's not necessary, the sound is fine.
