poor viewing angle

I bought this tv about 3 days ago, and it is going back. The picture from 85 to 95 degrees is terrific, blacks levels are great. But then when I moved out side of this ideal viewing angle, the contrast and color saturation dropped swiftly and considerably. Unless you want to subject your friends and family who are not in the 'pole position' viewing spot to watch a washed-out, sub-par picture, you will not buy this tv. If it will be only you watching the tv, from dead-on center, then get it.

Solid TV- Don't Hesitate

Instead of droning on and on about how similar the features are to the XBR (minus the motion flow. which I probably wouldn't even notice) let me just get to the bottom line. Amazon was hands down, THE VERY BEST deal I found anywhere. Not only was the TV $300-$400 cheaper than it was anywhere else at a local retailer like Best Buy or Circuit City, but here's the best part.... I paid NO TAX (I live in Texas, amazon is based in WA,its a beautiful thing) and got free shipping. So we're talking approximately $500-$600 savings by using amazon once you figure in tax and shipping on top of that list price savings.

Delivery was another pleasant surprise. My estimated delivery date was about a week and a half out, however I got a call three days after my order from Ceva saying that my tv was already in town and could they bring it tomorrow...um, yes please! Amazon contracts Ceva, a private shipping company that specializes in delivery of flat screen tv's. They showed up in a very clean small speciality van, which was great since it meant my tv wasn't bouncing around some big UPS or Fed Ex truck and being tossed around. The guys took the TV upstairs to my second floor apartment, took it out of the box, plugged it in and showed me the remote basics. They were very professional. I even tested my new upconvert dvd player with a movie I had waiting just to make sure it all worked. After all of that, then I signed off and they were on their way/ Try getting service like that from ANYWHERE else. Seriously, A + service all the way, highly recommended!

Outstanding Picture and Sound

I've had this TV for almost 8 months and am as happy with it as I was the day it was set up. The picture is wonderful and the sound very pleasing. There is no pixelating from fast image movement. The frame is brushed metal and narrow enough that the set doesn't stick out. Very beautiful. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this TV again.

My only regret is that I didn't buy the 46" which in retrospect would have fit the room well.

Awesome

I did extensive research before pulling the trigger on this model. I ended up choosing between Samsung and Sony. I went with the Sony bc of glare issues that supposedly accompany Samsung models. That was in issue for me bc the set will be in a bright room with big bay windows. I'm glad to report that I do not have any glare problems with my Bravia.

Once, I decided to go with Sony, I was struggling to decide if I could spend the extra money for the XBR. The auto motion feature sounded compelling to me because I watch a lot of sports. However, I just couldn't justify spending that much extra money. I'm glad I didn't. I've had my w3000 for 3 weeks now. I've watched the NCAAs, Hockey, and baseball. All of the action looks amazing. I've seen absolutely no ghosting or triple action effect that I've heard about.

Bottom line, it is hard for me to imagine a better picture. This set is a no brainer. And the Amazon price is $200-300 cheaper than best buy.

Great Sony quality, once again

I have been reluctant to convert to an HDTV due to the usual considerations--waiting for better technology at a lower price each year. Since it seemed like the HDTV market had reached something of a plateau, it was time to trade in my near-perfect circa 2000 Sony Trinitron 32" for the latest 40" Bravia. No disappointment, in fact, I can't take my eyes off the new KDL-40W3000. Excellent contrast, bright sharp picture, easy to use controls. "it's a Sony". Solid, high quality electonics. As I expected, the SD picture for non-HDTV stations is a disappointment (compared to my old Trinitron), but I can overlook that.

I had paid for an expedited delivery to match the timing of my satellite HD installation, but instead was told that the supplier (Vann's) couldn't expedite a large electronic item like a TV. The delivery took 5 days, and I missed the installer, but the good folks at Vann's gave me a refund of the extra payment.

I recommend this unit to all serious HDTV aficionados in the 40" market.

Sony's BRAVIA W series Full HD 1080p televisions take performance to the next level with advanced HDMI v1.3 features such as x.v.Color which greatly broadens the color space input capabilities to include 1.8 times as many natural colors as existing HDTV signals. In addition, Deep Color input capability works with the 10-bit processor and panel to deliver 64 times the level of color expression versus current 8-bit systems. Wrap all of this up with an elegant a new brushed metal picture frame design and there's nothing like W-Series HDTV's.
