| 702663 | 2008-09-05 02:38:00 | Hi all, Just looking to buy a new 40inch LCD tv from sony. Link below for the features. $2800 www.sony.co.nz $3000 www.sony.co.nz I like it sony myself and prefer this one as all sony's are coming with in built freeview decoder. I have UHF antenna on the roof. Has anyone bought any of the LCD TV above and what are your views? Incase i buy one of the TVs, which has built in freeview decoder, would i get the Freeview channels in HD without buying more equipment? Also what sort of freeview decoder has the sony tv built in? Is it satellite or UHF decoder? The W4000 is about $200 more expensive than the V4000. Is it worth getting W4000? Thanks, Groovy |

| 702664 | 2008-09-05 02:44:00 | Sony all the way. :D It's a HD UHF decoder built in (and standard analogue of course). The only differences are that there is an 8 bit panel on the V VS 10 bit on the W. W has the Wide Colour Gamut, and Live Colour Creation, the V doesn't. God knows what those things actually do. Those are the only three differences. Seems to be better value for money going for the V, unless the 10 bit panel makes a huge difference. Would be good if you could see them running side by side, might not be an easy thing to do though. Shop around, often you can get a better deal than Sony offer. |

| 702665 | 2008-09-05 02:58:00 | Thanks. Ya Sony all the way. We had this Sony 21inch tv for 12year and still going good :) Ya i had a look too but didn't know what they mean too :) Ya will definitely shop around. I was thinking JB-Hi-Fi. They usually give a good bargain. I wonder how come their is no Motion Flow technology in this new Sony TV's. Does it have any "LAGGING" issues during sports or watching fast action scenes on the V400 series? Thanks. |

Had a friend buy a 40" Sony TV with it, he has it turned off nearly all the time. From what I have seen, they are the best out there for not lagging. On Freeview HD it would look amazing. We don't get HD in Nelson, So I can't say I've seen it though. :( |

| 702667 | 2008-09-05 08:49:00 | Another vote for Sony and the inbuilt Freeview gives a great picture. There is nothing else you need to do to get the HD picture, plus the installation and set up was easy as. Thoroughly recommended. | andrew93 (249) | ||

I recommend you save yourself $1000 and get the 32" www.sony.co.nz I have seen the 32" and 40" models in the shops and didn't think the 40" to be any advantage. Either way you still have the same 1920x1080 resolution. Even this $70,000 monster still only has 1920x1080 pixels www.sony.co.nz |

Firstly when you get fast motion, a lot compression noise occurs in the picture, which I was told was due to it not running at 100Hz, which means that the picture can't update fast enough, so it has to compress the data. This is very annoying. Some new models at now releasing 120Hz LCDs which would offer better processing. Also I had heard that the freeview tuner can sometime take 5 minutes to turn on, from a review I read about it. |
