In many ways, the 40V5500 really is a terrific TV. After all, for much of the time that you sit there watching it, its pictures could well have your jaw hanging open in admiration. It's just a real shame that all this quality should be blighted by the return of Sony's inconsistent backlight problem. To be fair, the subtlety of the problem here is such that it only very rarely troubles your viewing, and so it's possible that some, maybe even many people who take a 40V5500 for a test run will end up buying one anyway. But such a flaw to my money makes it impossible to give this set a whole-hearted recommendation. Read full review
