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

Sony Bravia EX1 (KDL-52EX1)

Great piece of kit, but its price tag will make it unobtainable for most
JVC Xiview LT-42WX70
Interesting attempt at creating an innovative TV, but some of its promised functionality is yet to be realised

Cello iViewer TVs: BBC iPlayer and YouTube built-in
It's been a long-time coming, but finally iPlayer is going to be available on a TV for the first time without any additional hardware. The pair of TVs from Cello will be sensibly priced too
