Tags: Sony, Sony Bravia KDL-40S2010, screens, remote control, resolution
We like:
Timeless design; future-proof specification; advanced user settings; decent high-definition performance
We don't like:
Limited connectivity for a large screen; conflicting adjustments; ordinary standard-definition performance for the price
You might also need:
HDMI cable; RGB Scart cable; component cable; aerial
CNET UK judgement:
Sony's KDL-40S2010 is somewhat expensive for an entry-level model. The design and features are outstanding but you can afford better all-round performance and a higher specification for the same price

Samsung B7020WW (UE55B7020WW)
Could have been one of the best TVs we've seen were it not for the serious backlight inconsistency
