Reviewed on: 06/30/2008

Although CNET did not review the 40-inch Sony KDL-40W4100, we did review the 46-inch Sony KDL-46W4100. Judging from their spec sheets, the two Sony LCD HDTVs are basically identical but for screen size, so we expect that the review of the 46-inch TV will give a good indication of how the 40-inch model will perform. For more information, refer to the full review of the Sony KDL-46W4100.
