Great review! What kind of panel is used in this screen? TN Film, IPS, VA etc...

I understand these panels techs are commonly used in PC monitors, how is it with LCD TV's do they use the same technology. Sorry if this is a stupid question. And excuse my rubbish english. I'm from Norway. *smiles*

I've had one of these sets for the last couple of months and I think this is a very fair review of this set. I've no regrets buying mine, it is excellent, in my opinion.

Max Power, I realise it has been awhile since you commented here but can you directe me to a source that these TV's sport S-IPS panels? It is kind of "too-good-to-be-true" for me as for many years Sony have been using S-PVA panels. Can you please confirm this information?

Thanks!

The 40W5500 is not without its faults. For instance, the Applicast system currently feels half-baked, I'd like to hear more bass in its audio, and there's room for adding a touch more sharpness to standard definition broadcasts. But just because something isn't perfect doesn't mean that it isn't very good. In fact, even though I would dearly have loved not to be writing a positive review today on the back of so many others of late, the 40W5500 is very good indeed, especially once you've taken its unexpectedly aggressive price into account.
