5 out of 5 stars Great quality modestly sized TV   September 22, 2008
 57 out of 58 found this review helpful

This was our first flat screen TV, replacing a 28" CRT. Although you can get the 32inch V4000 for only slightly more we went for this model as we don't need any extra screen size - we just wanted something easier to carry that doesn't use any floor space. It will be wall mounted in our small living room (allow 4 or 5cm clearance when you buy a bracket unless your cables will run through the wall...).

It is currently used for upscaled DVDs via hdmi, built-in freeview and as a 2nd monitor for the PC on a VGA cable. The picture quality is excellent in all of these uses and free from digital artefacts which are distracting on larger screens.



5 out of 5 stars Top value 26in LCD   September 25, 2008
 38 out of 39 found this review helpful

I spent a lot of time researching various 26in TVs, and the choice seemed to be between various Sony models, a couple of Panasonic models and a Samsung one. I am extremely pleased to have chosen this model.

- It looks excellent. Although I am quite keen on my AV equipment, I do recognise a TV should look nice in the room you are putting it in. The piano black surround looks classy without being brash, and the silver speaker grille almost looks metal (although it isn't)

- The picture is superb. For SD broadcasts, it looks a lot better than my (much more expensive) Sharp 42in LCD. I mostly use it for connection to an Xbox360 - the responsiveness of the screen seems good and the colours are vibrant

- The remote is comfortable to use and quite intuitive. Some Sony stuff has been shipped with very complicated remotes lately (especially the DVD recorders), nice to see they are correcting this

Of course there are a couple of downsides (sound is average, the in built SD receiver isn't too good at picking up channels on weak signals) but in all I couldn't be happier with it. Not sure why you would pay 100 more for a Panasonic (or 40 less for a Samsung).



5 out of 5 stars Great TV   October 21, 2008

Bought this for the bedroom. Good clear picture with no blurring at all when watching sport which was very important to me. Setup easy just turn it on and follow the on screen instructions you can't go wrong. Auto tunes all the channels. sound quality is excellent for a tv this size. used in bedroom and loud enough to watch tv even at 1/4 of the volume. researched many tv's and this was the best all round value in this size and price bracket. if you dont want it in standby then turn it off. there is a button on the top next to the manual controls that turns it off so no wasted power!!!


5 out of 5 stars A very good LCD TV   October 29, 2008
 6 out of 6 found this review helpful

I bought this TV one week ago and I will say it is a very good choice. The 26" size is suitable in my small size living room and also good in a bedroom. The image quality is perfect whether in analog mode(5 channels) or in digital mode(30+ freeview channels). Someone above said the TV would lose all its recorded channels information after unpluged it power cable from wall. I did the test however I found it was not true. All channels were still there after one night power off(unplug the power cable).
The delivery was quite fast. I ordered it at 1:50 afternoon and the TV arrived in the early morning next day.
All in all, for this price 26V4000 is a wonderful purchase.



5 out of 5 stars better than expected   October 26, 2008
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

Excellent picture quality and sound and as big as you'll need in a small living room.

Some reviewers have complained about the KDL26V4000's ability to tune to a weak Freeview signal. The digibox I had with my previous TV was never able to pick up Freeview using our existing elderly aerial. This set has located it with little problem however.

Gives a fantastic HD picture from freesat too. Pity that Sony don't make a freesat box which can be controlled with the TV remote.

I was slightly worried that it would be vulnerable to the attentions of our toddler, but the heavy metal base is quite enough to stop it falling over even if pushed, and the on/off controls are located on top of the set where she can't reach them.
