Sony KDL-40W2000

Digital Living If Bond had time to watch telly, he'd have a W2000, and not just because his middle name is 'product placement'. Even grainy security footage looks great on this screen, so it's perfect for spies -- but is it the one for you?

Which 40-inch Sony LCD TV should I buy?

Digital Living I'm a bit confused by the difference between the Sony Bravia KDL-40W2000 and the KDL-40X2000. Getting to grips with the model numbers of Sony TVs and what they mean is only slightly easier than understanding the basics of quantum physics.

Spam TV, You TV, Global TV
