Well i have had my new TV now for 3 weeks and thought i would post up my thoughts after a good thorough testing.
I got a Sony KDL-40NX803. I originally was looking for around 46" but after a lot of thought it would just be too big for my living room.
I was also originally after a Samsung Series 8 but i went to the Sony Centre at Cheshire oaks and had a look at the TV's they had in there.
The Specs of it are as follows
Full 1080p 24p HD
200hz MotionFlow Technology (more about this in a bit)
Bravia 3 Engine
Edge LED lit 40" LCD screen
Built in Wifi
Built in Freeview HD tuner
20w Speakers
4 x HDMI Slot
1 x Component
HDMI PC Signal Capability
PC Input (15pin D-Sub) + Audio In
1 x Composite Video
PCMCIA Card Slot
Also has stuff like YouTube, Love Film, Five on Demand etc built in so when you go onto the internet you can watch streaming video.
Full Specs can be seen here
NX803 Specs The TV is surprisingly light but then again for the majority it is only 1.8cm thick so very good if you want to mount it on a wall (which i am currently trying to talk the wife into letting me do)
Now the important bit - picture quality. This has to be seen to be believed. Had i not seen this TV in action in the shop i would have still got the Samsung. The Sony Centre had a 50hz, 100hz and this 200hz Motionflow tv all next to each other showing the same image. I spent about 45 mins in the shop asking the guy to show me different style pictures so slow moving, normal tv, freeveiw HD, Sky HD and full BluRay. It is unbelievable as to how good the 200hz Motionflow technology is. I watched Band of Brothers on it and honestly sometimes you forget its a TV and it's like you are actually watching the action live through a window. Even fast paced stuff like Sport and Games are just amazing.
One thing i will say is don't believe the hype about a £5 HDMI lead working just as good as a £200 one. I replaced all my HDMI Leads for Monster M2000HD leads and the difference in picture quality was fantastic. That lead is about £200 but they sell them on 7 Day shop for £20 which is were i got it from.
I have tried everything on the TV now. My setup basically everything is plugged into my Surround Sound (which is also Sony) and then one Lead comes from the Surround Sound to the TV. So now the Sky & PS3 (which also doubles as my BluRay Player) all come through the Surround Sound. Plus because it's all Sony (less the Sky) the TV Remote is now sync'd with it all so i only have to use that and the Sky Remote. But the image is amazing. Games just look even better as well. Playing Assassins Creed II or Need For Speed Shift is just awesome especially in Surround Sound.
The TV itself has a couple of clever panels at the back to hide the cables so everything can be kept neat and tidy.
Here is a pic of the TV in all it's Glory oh and Lucy just happened to be on when i took the Pic i haven't Sky plus'd her!
(Sorry Pic not that good as was taken with PiePhone)
If your in the need of a New TV then i definately recommend this one
