| The Bottom Line | CNET did not review the Sony KDL-40S3000, but we did review a larger model in the series. | Sony's entry-level LCD, the KDL-46S3000 offers fine picture quality for most viewers, but bargain shoppers and home theater sticklers alike may want something different. | The commendable picture quality of Sony's entry-level 120Hz-equipped LCD makes it a very good value. | ||
