The Sony kdl-v40xbr1 is
a 40 inch LCD plasma TV that uses Sony's Wega engine. If
you havent' heard of the Wega engine I will explain it's
features. For instance the Digital Reality Creation feature

gives home theater enthusiasts
deeper blacks and improved depth, through the LCD Panel Driver
feature.
Sony's Wega engine is the heart of the
KDLV40XBR1 LCD television. The duty of Wega is to scale
all incoming signals, standard definition or high definition,
to the configuration of the panel without compromising or
loosing the quality of the digital signal. Other features
include, Twin-View Picture so you can watch 2 programs at
the same time.

- Cnet reviews the Sony
Bravia KDL-V40XBR1,
they write "Earlier this year, Sony changed the name of
its high-end LCD TVs from Wega to Bravia and launched a
marketing campaign touting the line as "The
world's first television designed for men and women." While
it remains to be seen how the sleek, 40-inch Sony Bravia
KDL-V40XBR1 ($3,499) scores with the ladies, it delivers
a knockout in terms of LCD picture quality. No, it still
can't outperform the best similarly sized plasmas on the
market, and yes, like most Sonys, this 40-inch flat-panel
LCD has a premium price tag and costs quite a bit more
than competing plasmas. But if you have your heart set
on an LCD or just really like the look of this Sony--or
the name Bravia/--it might be worth the price."
