Sony - 40 in. (Diagonal) Class LCD Full HD (1080p) Television, BRAVIA — 

I've been researching LCD TVs for over a year now. The two main things that drew me to this model are the SteadySound (volume leveling) and built in video upconversion features. The SteadySound could be a bit more aggressive in limiting the dynamic range of the volume, but I'm being picky there, and nobody else has the feature at all, nearly as I can tell. It's really nice not to have car dealer ads blare at me when it goes to commercial (do they *really* think that makes us *more* likely to buy from them?). I could not be more pleased with the image quality on this set. The way I see it, for now, and probably some time to come, most television channels will be SD. Even after the switchover I expect that to be the case. Because of that, I was most interested in a set that would not look crummy with an SD feed. This set fills the bill. Yes, full up HD feeds do look much better than SD feeds do, but for the most part even SD feeds look even better on this set than they did on the CRT it replaced. It's a kick to see even my old VHS tapes looking great, and it's nice to be able to contentedly wait for prices on Blu-Ray players to drift down out of nose-bleed territory. For reference, I am a pretty techno-savvy fellow, but I also haven't read the manual for this set, only referenced it via its index a few times to understand things on the menu that weren't self-explanatory. I've found it easy to use and very pleasant to watch.
