Sony KDL-40W600B - Pros & Cons

Great picture quality for the price
both in dark and bright rooms
Skin-tones are natural-looking too
and contrast is impeccable
Crisp and insightful
Motion is stable and blur-free
Backlight uniformity was very good
solid black levels
accurate colors
smooth gradation between luminance steps
Highlights looked great as well

No cherry-picked units sent by brands
No motion interpolation feature
The corners are a bit darker
horrendously heavy
lack of standard colour management facilities on the 40W605B
no smart remote to be found
Selector Viewing Distance Calculator Input Lag Database
too dim to be of use
battery-powered LCD shutter glasses
Component-video connections require three separate RCA plugs
Some 3D TVs omit this item to control costs
3D TVs may come with several sets of 3D glasses
not limited to) evaluation of user interfaces and publicly-available material
still faces a tough bottom line
allots too much emphasis to the blue sub-pixel
The remote control is too bare bones to make typing
Does the TV ramp up out of black shadow areas too quickly
degradation and color shifting will hamper your view
