This is my favorite tv yet. In my humble opinion, a television needs to do one thing well by default:Display an accurate-looking picture with tangible levels of shadow detail.For ALL formats the set is claimed to support (HD, SD, etc).Anything else is secondary, and I'll get to that in a moment. This Sony is pretty much on par with the previous Sony I am replacing (KDL-32S3000). Once calibrated and ambient light sensor turned off, the display is bright, accurately saturated, and shadow detail is well above average. Of the three Black Friday 60 Inch Tv I have analyzed, with having pros and cons, this KDL-40BX420 does THE best in displaying colors and shadow detail.I found that turning off the ambient light sensor so I can have full control over backlight settings is necessary. In dark or moderately-lit rooms, the sensor still keeps backlighting low and rendering the display too dark while forcing me to increase the backlight setting. So, with that disabled, using backlight set to 7, contrast to 97, brightness to 52 (50-52), color temperature set to 'neutral' (or maybe 'warm 1'), gamma +2, cine 'OFF', and all black enhancement set to 'off' provide the best results. There are other features that will ramp up color and saturation, but quickly end up looking distorted. YMMV, and Best Buy's calibration procedure will do a much better job to bring out every delicious drop of detail, but out-of-box image quality is remarkably good. And I don't often get to say that. But it IS worth considering, as it is time-consuming to do and their process is thorough. No, I don't own stock in Best Buy. I just call things as I see them, from experience, repute, or inference based on both.) Matte - unlike a previous set I looked at, this Sony has a matte panel. Glossy is okay, especially if you like looking at your own reflection. But I'd rather look at what's coming out of the TV. Not what's being reflected by it.Viewing angle - as with the 32S3000, Sony is using a higher grade, probably a PVA panel. The previous sets I've looked at use MVA panels - which not only crush shadow detail too much for my liking when looking head-on, they have poor viewing angles where color washes out badly and brightness and contrast gets skewed. The Sony does a far better job from what I've seen. Color wash does exist, but it's nowhere near as prominent. As with the other sets, no major (if any) hue shift was noticed, so it's nice companies are avoiding the use of "TN" panels.

I inherited an old RCA LCD TV and B lack Friday home audio. It was incredibly slow, had a terrible dark picture, and was all around confusing to adjust settings. I only used it for my Playstation 3 and that was really all it was worth. I was quite happy after it suddenly broke. It would turn on but there was no sound or picture.

I did quite a bit of research looking at different brands and reading many reviews. I didn't want anything too fancy since the TV would be in a bedroom and mostly used for gaming. I own many Sony products and have never been disappointed. I think this TV is perfect for a bedroom. The picture is great, for me it was easy to adjust the settings, and setting it up with my Playstation 3 was super easy. I feel like I got much more than what I was expecting.

My only complain has nothing to do with the TV itself. When I received it there was a GIANT hole in the box. The UPS delivery guy told me that the hole was on the opposite of the screen so it shouldn't be affected. He was right but whatever made the hole also made deep scratches in the back of the TV. I was disappointed, but it didn't bother me that much since the TV worked fine and no one is going to see the back.
