Sony Bravia KDL-40S2000 40-Inch Flat Panel LCD HDTV
great TV
I have been waiting for the new Sharp 37D90U, which boasts 1080p and 6ms response time. But it is delayed several times to the US market. So I decided to get this Sony 40s2000. This panel is not cutting edge technology, but prob second only to Sharp's forthcoming panel. This panel has 8ms response time. When I watch Wimbledon tennis on regular definition channels I still can see ball image trailing. This is less of a problem on HD channels. I do not know how much Sharp's 6ms will improve. <br /> <br />Out of box the default \\"vivid\\" image is so unreal. You need to change it to \\"normal\\". Most regular definition channels look good on this TV, although images tend to be too dark when you have the auto light sensor on. Other than the above, this TV has dazzling HD picture quality, good connectivity (I spent only 5 mins to hook up the TV with DVD, cable, hometheatre, and laptop computer and everything works well), and good sound quality. With price on this modeling dropping quickly, it is the top choice if you don't want to wait for or spend too much on the most advanced Sharp TV.
