Sony Bravia KLV-22BX310

The KLV-S40A10 features a maximum resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels across its 40 inch (101cm) display, with a claimed contrast ratio of 1000:1 and a fast response time of 8ms. The display does come with inbuilt speakers of only moderate output capabilities, although it's arguably highly unlikely that any consumers would be looking at dropping over five grand on a TV and not have some kind of complimentary audio system to co-ordinate it with. One interesting feature of the KLV-S40A10 is the inbuilt light sensor, which automatically adjusts the picture settings depending on the ambient light in the room -- this lets you enjoy nice pitch black movies on the same screen that you all huddle around in the brightly lit daytime to watch the cricket. In terms of inputs, the big omission on the KLV-S40A10 is the lack of digital HDMI inputs. That's a luxury you'll find on the "V" series Bravia TVs, but the mid-range "S" series panels instead offer Component, S-Video, Composite and PC VGA connectors only. There's not too many PC graphics cards that'll natively support 1366 x 768, but you should still be able to connect up and get a good proportion of the screen working that way if you really fancy having a truly massive PC monitor.
