    Sony reputation. Spending over $2000.00, I decided it best if I didn't go with the so-called bargain brands as you can with tube type TVs. Read more

    • What can I say? It's perfect. I have DirecTV and the picture is very sharp on both local channels and traditional satellite channels. I don't even have high definition...
    • None.

    The 'V' in Sony's KDL-40V2500 indicates that it is one step above the entry level 'S' series of Bravia LCD TVs. As such it gains something called Wide Colour Gamut (WCG) Technology, but unlike the 'W' and 'X' series does not have full HD 1,920 x 1,080 resolution or the advanced EX Bravia engine of the top end 'X' series.

  1. Beautiful Picture. Great Price.

    I see that there's a newer model of this TV out right now, but hopefully this review of the older model will help those of you looking at purchasing the new model. We are continually amazed at the 1080p on this TV. We have it mounted in our game room, and we find ourselves drifting up there to watch TV instead of watching our Sony projection LCD TV (720p) in the family room. The picture looks great with Blu-Ray, as well as with our PS3 games. Read more

    The set up was a breeze. The picture quality is truly unbelievable. I researched for about a month before choosing the Sony and I'm very happy with my choice. The tv controls on the tv should be on the side and not on top, this is my only complaint. The sound is very true to the ear. Read more

    • Attractive Design, Bright Image, Fast Setup, Good Resolution, Reduced Glare
    • Control buttons on top, Poor Connection Options

  3. Great TV for the Price!

    This is a great TV for the price that I paid for it. Sure it's not 120 Hz compatible and the TV's contrast ratio of 7,000 : 1 has been nearly tripled on the newer Sony sets, but the TV still gives a very sharp picture if connected to a high definition source. I am a nit picker when it comes to my TV but am very pleased with the full 1080p picture when I watch Blu-rays. I recommend this TV if you can find it for the "right price" like I did. Read more

    • Attractive Design, Bright Image, Fast Setup, Good Resolution, Reduced Glare, Simple Controls
    • Poor Connection Options, Sort of cheap remote

  4. THIS IS A REAL CINEMA.
