Sony Bravia KDL-40S2000 40-Inch Flat Panel LCD HDTV
Omigosh...Sony doesn't disappoint
Love this TV. Absolutely beautiful. No ghosting at all. No 'screen door' effect seen on some LCDs.  <br /> <br />It's tough to pick a TV these days; you'll get a wide-range of reviews on any particular model depending on where you look. What you really have to do is go to a local store and pick the one that your eyes fall in love with. I admit it; I'm a bit biased by the past 20 years of excellent, reliable sony products over my lifetime. This was a big factor, and I'm willing to shell out a bit more money to purchase a product with a good prognosis. <br /> <br />Amazon had the best price by far, especially considering no sales tax, no shipping fees. The TV arrived about 5 days after I ordered it. You can probably find an even lower price online but just like Sony, Amazon comes through in reliability, customer service, and satisfaction. You'll know your expensive purchase will be fulfilled to your liking.  <br /> <br />The TV itself has a nice, clean design. The remote is not overly complex but this doesn't mean the set isn't customizable. There are a ton of options for tweaking the color, noise filtering, gamma, black contrast, sound and more. A nice feature is being able to label the input displays, meaning rather than \\"input 4\\" one can label it \\"HD\\" or \\"DVD\\" or anything else. <br /> <br />Looking forward to future blu-ray or HD-DVD movies on this baby. Maybe a little Xbox 360 or PS3 action as well.
