Sony Bravia Series

    Hi guys,
    I am picking a new flatscreen tv and want one a new Sony Bravia set.
    The problem is in the shop it's quite difficult to tell the difference between the quality. I had decided on the 40" W series from reviews on the web but looking at it in the shop I didn't see much difference between that and the S series and actually thought the colours looked better on the V series... :confused:
    The prices are around:
    40S - £1095
    40V - £1495
    40W - £1790

    Note that all the prices are in sterling. There is a huge difference between £1095 and £1790 and the W series is the only one to do full 1080p.
    The question is: will I really notice the difference between the S and the others and is it worth the price difference?
    It'll be used for watching movies with a progressive scan DVD player with up-scaling (which will be replaced with a HD-DVD or Blueray player once prices come down and there's more content out there).
    Any first-hand experience with these different tellys would be greatfully received.

    Cheers.

    hey dubstub, I have a Sony 40S2010, one of the previous installment of Sony Bravias, I am very happy with the purchase so far. The picture was a little bit off for me when I initially set it up but with the right picture settings it looks great. I've watched HD DVD and PS3 on the set and both look very very good.

    My aerial connection doesn't display great quality, which is to be expected, but the picture from Sky (just the basic not HD) connected is scart is pretty decent.

    One problem I have with it already is that there aren't many connection on my TV, only 1 HDMI and one Component in, both of which are in use and I woul like to add more equipment now so I may need to find a switcher. The newer versions of this model have 2 HDMI's so they go some way to helping the situation.
