[UK/Argos] Sony KDL40V3000U 40in 1080p LCD TV & Playstation 3 40GB


Recommended Posts

Nice dude, I think I have the same style stand but it's glass instead.

Mines is smoked black glass ;)

(or by "glass" do you mean see-through, no colour glass?)

Bought from Argos I believe. We have another one downstairs.

Holy Hell! That TV looks sweet!

By the look of things, your room is quite big, which is lucky for you. I would of easily gone for a 40" but my room is just so darn small plus i wanted if for PC usage aswell. Of course when i move out ill get myself a nice big TV like that for my living room.

You got PS3 & 360 hooked up via HDMI?

It's a decent size, maybe not AS big as you may think. As I said I'll have some more snaps up this month - I got my PC decked out in here as well - But I won't be using the TV for PC :(

32" would of done fine, I only went with the 40" due to the deal I could wangle.

Yeah both hooked up via HDMI, and both look great! TV has 3 HDMI sockets, 2 on back, 1 on side :)

what about on freeview/sdtv? the w series and up are supposed to be better on freeview/sdtv but i have not had a chance to compare models in the 2000 and 3000 range. freefiew isnt a huge concern for me but i do watch it every so often.

the sonys look really good (both the 2 and 3 thousand series) but i am also tempted by philips ambilight tv's the price is what i dont like about them.

SD TV looks (Y) to me.

I am primarily going to be using this tv for HD content/gaming though - Streamed movies/tv shows from my PC, so SD quality is of no concern to me anyway.

Is the Philips Ambilight LCD or Plasma? I wouldn't go plasma as true 1080p resolutions on a Plasma costs an arm and leg.
