maxflinn:the 40w5500 is better , and about £700-£750 , so why get a w4500 ??
I agree, if i were to buy one today I would not buy the Sony W4500 as there are better TVs out now. My point being at the time it was great (WHF Award Winner 2008) which answers the question "was it any good?"
I wont be upgrading mine for a couple of years.
