The Sony KDL-40BX420E 40" Full HD BRAVIA Multi-System LCD TV is usually purchased for its ability to receive local programming anywhere in the world. But take a closer look and you'll see that it is a capable and versatile HDTV with features you're not likely to find in other sets.
For starters, the KDL-40BX420E delivers HD in 1080p (1920 x 1080) resolution for an incredibly crisp picture. The set incorporates Sony's Bravia Engine for deep, vibrant, finely detailed images. 24p True Cinema ensures that your Blu-ray movies will look like they do in theaters, without judder. Couple this with Light Sensor Technology and MPEG Noise Reduction for extremely sharp and noise-free images and Sony Live Color and you've got an HDTV that produces gorgeous pictures you'll never tire of watching.
But what's a great picture without sound to match? Sony includes multiple sound modes, including dynamic/standard/clear voice and surround sound to ensure that you're a part of the action, no matter what type of program you're watching. It's all delivered through a pair of speakers that pump out 16W (8W x2) of power for room-filling sound.
Extensive connectivity, which includes a full complement of inputs and outputs (including USB), makes the KDL-40BX420E an ideal choice to serve as the hub of your home entertainment system. Two HDMI inputs ensure that your set is HD-capable for years to come.
Despite the numerous options which this set provides it's a snap to access all of its features through its graphic user interface and full-featured remote control. For a great HD picture, world-wide compatibility, and features that stack up to those of any other, the KDL-40BX420E is hard to beat.
