  You can read the other reviews for the technical low-down, but in simple terms this is a beautifully designed television which is quick and easy to set up and has a wonderful, sharp display. It was equally easy to set up the DAV-IS10 sound system, with its remarkably small speakers, to accompany it. And of course, you can show your holiday snaps on it at a size that even your 98-year old Gran can see!
  
  Great value for money.

  really is a top quality product. independent review sites rate it top of the non-100Hz models, and for me, they're spot on. Delivery from Amazon as usual faultless. TV v easy to attach to stand, and setup is automatic. Have connected to standard def Sky - gives a really nice picture. DVD is even better (from a Sony DVD/HDD player). More tweaks and adjustments are possible than even the geekiest person could ever use, but some of them are really good (picture in picture, backlight adjustment). Overall, superb

  Spent a year checking out the HD TV market. I watched this model drop to £1300 (inc free hard drive dvd ) and bought it from Amazon. No problems with the tv whatsoever (bought last year). Everything is a joy to watch, especially dvd's. Reccomend highly especially at this price.

  By Mr. Mark Mackenzie,
  I researched carefully before buying the Sony W4000 from Amazon. Several TV review websites gave this TV their blessing. My main criteria for buying was that the tv would provide quality images and sound at standard definiton level. So much hype about HD; yet perhaps 90 percent of broadcast television is in Standard Def. So do be realistic when choosing . Suffice to say the Sony is excellent in all respects; good colour and clean images, with above average soundstage. The remote is ergonomic and comfortable to use, onboard menu system is clever and straight forward to operate. I am assured also that it produces excellent images from HD sources. Essentially a great telly. Buy with confidence !

  I dithered for a long time trying to choose a 40" TV. Couldn't decide between Panasonic Plasma or Sony LCD. In the end my dithering paid off as the price has dropped by over £400.
  
  I bought the Sony in the end and I'm extremely pleased with it. I'm mainly using it for Sky (SD) but even on Freeview through the built in tuner it has a great picture (so long as you don't sit right in front of the screen) much better than any Freeview picture I have seen...very little Pixilation even on fast moving stuff like football.
  
  Haven't tried any HD sources yet but upscaled DVDs look very rich.
  
  I'm slightly disappointed by the sound....doesn't have the punch of my Toshiba LCD so at some stage I may consider surround sound or a 'sound bar' but it is more than adequate for general TV progs.
  
  Great TV.
