Sony Bravia KDL-19M4000 (silver)

Description: The Sony Bravia KDL-19M4000 (Silver) is a 19-inch, liquid crystal display television.Compared to other liquid crystal display TVs on the market, it is very inexpensive at around $490.This flat-TV is an LCD display, which is generally the best kind of flat-panel screen for viewing in brightly-lit rooms.

Pros: This TV can display images that are sharper and more realistic than standard definition television when mated to a high definition signal.The 3:2 pulldown feature of this TV reduces artifacts that can occur when motion pictures are transferred to a digital format such as DVD.

Cons: Has only a 19-inch screen size.This is not out of line with the product's price, but is smaller than the average TV on the market today.Has only a rear connector location.

Suitability: A liquid crystal display TV, suited for home entertainment as well as work place applications.In general, a wide aspect display such as this one is well suited for DVD movies recorded in the popular 16:9 format, as well as high definition programming.

Value: Given its very inexpensive price, this TV has great features for the money.However, if you were to judge strictly by the viewable screen size, you would see that the average price of liquid crystal display televisions with comparable viewable size is quite a bit less -- right around $390.
