Sony KDL-40V2000 LCD Arrived

Posted on 01. Jun, 2006 by zerolight in Gadgets & Stuff

The nice folk at Robert Whyte did me a pretty good deal on a Sony 40V2000 LCD in exchange for my Philips 9986 which has been faulty (although not according to Philips, since day one). Initial impressions are very good. DVDs are far nicer on the Sony than they were on the Philips. The Sony would appear to have a better scaler, as well as class leading colour rendition. The result is a very natural looking picture. Not something you often see from an LCD displaying standard definition sources. NTL doesn’t fair quite so well, the bigger screen size highlighting the artefacts present in NTLs standard definition signal. Though it thus displays a little more noise than the Philips here, the NTL picture still benefits from the Sony?
