User Reviews: Sony KDL-40V3000 40" BRAVIA V(R) series LCD HDTV
Best TV I have seen in this size.
Pros: Great Picture
Cons: Cant stop watching.
This TV is amazing. It has wonderful colors and a great HD picture. There are no flaws on this display. I had seen this TV at BB and after comparing it to all the others there it was by far the best. I guess that's why BB uses this model for their display for the PS3 and Blueray players in the store. After I bought this TV and brought it home I was even more impressed with it than I could have ever imagined. I have no regret for buying this TV. It's the best on the market. The reviews of this mode dont give it justice. If you buying between 40"-42", this is the model for you. It's a dream come true.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoSome Issues with Speaker Grille
Pros: No issues with display
Cons: Grilles on this model creating returns for stores
This model is really nice, but has a major flaw. Some of the units, I saw at least 3 at a local BB store, have a bubbling of the lower speaker grill in the center of the unit. The grill on these units is kind of a semi-soft plastic decal that is glued on. I ended up getting the earlier model: Sony KDL-40V2500 which has a hard plastic grill that is affixed in a totally different manner. No reports from any salespersons regarding issues with the older version.

Pros: Picture
Cons: Deep Dark Blacks
For picture quality, you won't find any better, especially at this price. Match this set up with a good upconverter DVD player and dish TV or Direct TV. I have dish and am very happy. The distance you sit from the TV is one of the most important things to consider. I'm around 12 feet from this 40" set, and I'm very happy. At 12 feet I could go with either a 46" or maybe 50" TV in the future. My upconverted DVD's look like HD. Seriously, there is no need to buy an HD player at this time. I've added Dolby Digital 5.1 for true theatre sound, which is actually better than being in the theatre. I looked at the XBR's, and could not find any reason to pay the extra money for them. This set, at 8ms refresh is perfect for fast action sports like auto racing and basketball.

Pros: Detailed, life-like picture
Cons: Skimpy remote switch
Sony has been getting a bad, unjustified rap from many of the Samsung supporters who would have you believe Sony's HD television sets use inferior, deeply flawed technology with "clouds" in the picture. I first bought a 32" Samsung, impressed by the richly saturated, brilliant colors. After the set kept "buzzing" at certain audio features, I bought it back and exchanged it for a Sony 40V2500. At first I couldn't get over how much better the picture was--detailed, nuanced, realistic without exaggerated color. (I'm talking about the limited number of good hi-def channels offered by Warner in my area.) When I saw that the 40V3000 offered desirable features--especially one-touch Theater Synch and 24fps movie motion--I decided to pay the extra and make the switch. Like the 40V2500, the 40V3000 is capable of producing a literally flawless picture, one leaving nothing to be desired. Moreover, the audio quality is getting a bum rap, imo. In a small, live room like mine, the sound is spacious, full-frequencied, and full. I've got loads of stereo equipment, sub-woofers, amps, top-shelf JBls with 14" woofers. But none of that would increase my enjoyment of the viewing experience. Only one minor complaint: the remote switch is the size and weight of the remote that comes with 50-dollar DVD player. It's highly functional and versatile, but it's also easy to misplace and break.
