Sony KDL-40V3000

Sony's BRAVIA HDTV line takes a major leap in picture quality with the "V-Series" models — Sony's lowest-priced flat-panels with full 1080p resolution. Most HD programs — whether broadcast, cable, or satellite — employ the 1080i format. To see all of the detail in 1080-line programs, you need a 1080p screen.

10-bit LCD panel and video processing for more accurate colors
Two key factors determining LCD picture quality are the LCD panel and the video processing circuitry. The KDL-40V3000's LCD screen has 10-bit resolution. A 10-bit panel can display 1024 levels of color gradation compared to only 256 steps for conventional 8-bit panels. And 10-bit video processing fully utilizes the panel's exceptional color resolution to show even the subtlest shadings.
