Sony KDL40BX420 40" 1080p LCD HDTV

The HDTV you've been waiting for

Your home theater is just waiting for an upgrade like the KDL-40BX420. The 40" screen displays the highest resolution you can get at home: full 1920 x 1080p enhanced with 24p True Cinema technology so your movies are as true to original format as possible. With that kind of resolution, you can take full advantage of HD sources like Blu-ray or HD cable or satellite. And you have plenty of connections for your HD components, too. The KDL-40BX420 features two HDMI inputs, two HD component inputs, and a PC input that lets you use your HDTV as a computer monitor. To make your viewing experience more comfortable, not to mention more energy efficient, LightSensor technology automatically increases or decreases the level of brightness on your TV's backlight based on how bright your room is. So if you dim the lights for a Friday night double-feature at home, the KDL-40BX420 dims the backlight. Incidentally, that reduces unnecessary power consumption. Finally, you can use the USB input to display your vacation pics on your HDTV, or you can connect your mp3 player and play your favorite music through your TV. Give your home theater the upgrade it deserves with the KDL-40BX420.
