The Sony KDL-40EX400 40" BRAVIA 1080p LCD TV may be exactly what youre looking for. Its 40" diagonally measured screen straddles the line between midsize and large sets. If youll be viewing it from about five to ten feet away youll find youre close enough to enjoy a good-sized picture but far enough away that you can enjoy the image without noticing the individual pixels that create it.

Worldwide NTSC/PAL/SECAM Color System

World Wide Voltage Supply AC 100-240V, 50/60Hz

Full HD 1080p Resolution

Experience Full HD 1080p picture quality, the highest at-home resolution, and take full advantage of HD sources like a Blu-ray Disc player or a gaming console via the 16:9 wide screen panel (1920 x 1080).

BRAVIA Engine 2

Enjoy sharp, vibrant, life-like images while optimizing color & contrast and significantly reducing video noise with the BRAVIA Engine 2 fully digital processor.

Ambient Sensor

Get a natural looking picture whether you're watching movies late at night or playing video games during the day with an Ambient Sensor that automatically adjusts the picture color based on your room's lighting.

Light Sensor Technology

What the Ambient Sensor does for color, LightSensor Technology does for brightness. It automatically increases or decreases the level of brightness of your TV's backlight based on a room's lighting conditions. Dim the lights to watch a movie and the sensor dims the backlight, which also helps reduce unnecessary power consumption.

Advanced Closed Captioning

The 40EX400 can display all four conventional closed captioning channels (CC1, CC2, CC3 and CC4) and all four text channels from analog programming that provides them.
