Digital camera Review: Sony 40 inch LCD TV
Summary: 5 Stars
Having a family room with one complete wall of windows, I was never able to watch a TV against the opposite wall. This Sony 40W3000 has a non reflective coating that has minimized relection and glare beyond anyone's expectations. If you're having similiar problems, I recommend you try this 40 inch or the 46 inch version (46W3000) for an exceptional HDTV picture beyond comparison.Digital camera Review: Sony Bravia KDL-40W3000 40" 1080p LCD HDTV
Summary: 5 Stars
The Sony Bravia W-Series is so versatile and user friendly as well. The picture quality is superior, vivid, vibrant, natural color as stated, and absolutely no reflection or ghost image like the XBR2. The XBR4 with FHD 120 Hz high frame rate capability might corrects this problem but I have not experience this problem with the W-Series so far. The contrast ratio isn't important to me since there is no standard way of measuring this technology. The W-Series has 16000:1 contrast ratio, which it's too bright for viewing over period of time and adds pressure on the eyes if you are within 5 feet of range. However, the Bravia technology is great with 10 bit 64x deep color 16:9 full 1080 beyond HD plus smooth color transition, 24p true natural cinematic motion and its' live color creation system with WCG-CCFL backlight which I don't think nothing comes close besides the Samsung LNT-Series as in this price range.
Our family has been with Sony for their quality television over the century and there is no doubt in its' superior quality of television making. Although it seems like Sony KDL-40W3000 is overpriced compares to its' competitors, such as Samsung LNT4065F, and Sharp Aquos LC42D64U. But as we all know for those who try to save small usually lose big when it comes to electronic purchases. Even though most brand of LCD has high standard nowadays, but until it's proven with their reliability over time, I do not want to volunteer to be their guinea pig. No offense. To make the story short, Sony Bravia 40W3000 does it for me. A debut in its' look, I would go with the XBR besides the pricing. But after owning it for a few weeks, I found the W-Series' brushed metal style overcomes other glass or glossy plastic finished. In time, newer exotic design will eventually replaced the older version. But as for W-Series, it would probably remain in its' sleek looks.
Why not Plasma? I've purchased Syntax Olevia (made in Taiwan) two years ago and by far it's the most reliable LCD TV I've owned considering the low price and the usage I've put on that poor thing. This is also one of the reason I would pick LCD TV over Plasma any day. Although Plasma has improved over the decade with their burn-in problem, but for many reasons the pros on Plasma just wasn't persuasive enough for me even with lower pricing. After long hours of researching between the both, the LCD filled my specific needs, such as it's PC ready, weight/ size reduction, higher contrasts/ colors, and energy saving up to 30%. I would pay the additional dollars for a LCD TV.
In addition, I haven't tried the Internet Video Link unit on the 40W3000 yet, any comments?
Digital camera Review: Sony LCD TV
Summary: 5 Stars
The unit is all it's claimed to be. It was delivered to my home and was very easy to unpack. I removed the base (very easy) and mounted it to a wall using an articulating arm. Hook up to cable was easy as was connection to my digital camera for slide shows. Images are clear and sharp both monochrome and color. I'm sure it's reproducing all that the video sources are capable of. Sound is good, although at my age I can't be too critical - I can appreciate the stereo effects. Sporting events like the NFL and pro baseball are especially good. I'm very pleased with the display and expect I'll never need to buy another in my lifetime.Digital camera Review: Sony is the way to go.
