Having already received a raptuous welcome in the USA the W Bravia KDL 40W3000 is sure to create the same buzz in the UK.

Below are a small selection of reviews of the 40W3000 from the USA.

Review #1

First, I would like to say that this 40W3000 TV is a beauty. It's easy to setup. It took me around 10 minutes to set it up which include opening of the box, moving away all the styro foam, hauling it to the TV stand and connecting it with HDMI cables.
Second, I have Sony PSP and this TV's navigation's is very similar to the PSP. Hence, in order to navigate through the menu is a walk in the park. In addition, short cuts on the remote is good enough for me.

Third, Crisp Picture (stripe test). I almost bought Samsung LNT4065F. The Samsung has a reflective screen which makes it look really cool + it makes it look like a plasma. However, when the store showed a man with stripe shirt on the both screens, this Sony TV could show the stripe without any difficulties while the some stripes were combined into 1 stripe on the Samsung. That when I decided to pick this Sony KDL-40W3000 over the Samsung. Btw, I also compared this TV with Sony KDL-40V2500. Crisp-wise, they looked the same however the picture on the KDL-40V2500 is a little darker (the contrast is 7,000 compare to 16,000 on the W3000). However despite the contrast is only 7,000 in the V2500, it passed the stripe test as well.

Fourth, Varieties of input. This 40W3000 TV offers quite a variety of input. I have tried the HDMI, Component, Coax all of which yield superb pics. The HDMI yielded the highest quality of picture. I tested the TV with HD cable box with component as well with HD cable box with HDMI. The one with HDMI yielded a little better picture.

In summary, KDL 40W3000 is a easy to setup, to navigate TV with a high quality picture and has a good varieties of input. Enjoy!

Review #2

You really get what you pay for. I looked at the cheaper and lower Sony models and the resolution at 16000 is why I chose this one. I checked Best Buy and Ciruit City and they told me they match each others prices but can't compeate with Amazon.

The 40W3000 unit is flawless. currently only have it hooked up to play World of Warcraft from my PC, but the game has never looked so beautiful.

I love Sony.
