**Updated again 9-27-08 - this TV is still just as great as on day one. The only thing I notice after nearly 2 years, is a bit of hesitation and "green screen" for just a second or two when changing channels. Still our FAVORITE TV. I just got the same model in the 32" for our bedroom - price has really gone down!**Update - over 3 months later and we still love it! I think i like this tv even more now than i did when i first bought it. We have Comcast cable and the hi def sports are great and hi def for Lost and CSI is GREAT! Even standard tv is really nice, but most channels we watch are hi def.Like everyone else, I've been resarching HD widescreen TVs for a while and finally bought this model yesterday. It was a great value price - it's not top of the line but it's affordable for a quality picture. It only has 1 HDMI and is not 1080i and I really wanted a 46" tv, but I just couldn't fork over that much more money. I was leary of how standard tv would look on the larger 46" - afraid it would be too grainy as many reviews say. Most standard tv does look fine on this tv - bu there is much variation in quality from standard channel to standard channel and even from program to program. Be sure to play around with the display options and color settings on a show-by-show basis. The nice thing about this tv is you have the option to view standard tv in the full widescreen if you want. I LOVE the simple, very very user friendly remote. Just because there aren't a lot of tiny tiny buttons doesn't mean there aren't a lot of menu choice features. NOT AT ALL. The menus are easy to scroll through and easy to understand.I haven't experienced any on/off issues when switching from standard to hd channels as many reviews on the 40S2000 and 46S2000 proclaim, but I bought the 4yr warranty from BB just in case. I woudn't consider buying such a high dollar electronic without an extended warranty and would only buy from a brick and mortar store since Amazon won't take returns for any reason.On many of the models in stores, I would try to notice flaws with the sets. On the Toshiba 42", there were flickers on the very top row of the screen on the display models and the standard tv did not look very good at all. Samsung consistently had flickers and lines through the display models and standard tv looked even worse than Toshiba. Now granted, the displays are on 24/7, but still, i think it's an indication of future problems. I wish there were more 42" choices, but I guess the difference between 40" and 42" would not be too noticable. Also the Samsung models consistently seemed "wobbly" on the their pedestals. I guess I figured that Sony would be a reliable and good choice.All in all, I love this Sonytv - it was relatively easy to set up although if you have Comcast cable and a hi def/dvr box, the set up wasn't exactly according to directions. We can't apply the "digital" choice on the menu - we finally had to page through to "video 6" by pressing the TV/Video button 6 times to get the picture to work, but it's fine now.Our next hd tv will be a 46" but only after a lot more channels are hi def and a lot more programs within the hi def channels actually are hi def. I'll update this review if I experience any problems, but other than a somewhat frustrating 20-minute setup and the fact that I could only afford the 40", this tv is a great tv with quality "feel" to it and nice nice picture.
