It's 40" but the outer frame is so small that the TV is only alittle larger than my old Panasonic 32". It's very clear. I use it as my computer monitor for an Alienware gaming computer.

Have had numerous Sony TVs over the years with outstanding results. This TV is also a great product. Outstanding picture and sound. Was also on sale so got it at a lower price than was otherwise available. Have used it for about three weeks and so far so good. If it's like our previous Sony TVs, I expect we will have many years of excellent service.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I am certainly no TV or technology wizard, so this review is coming from someone just doing basic TV watching. I got this Sony TV as a Christmas gift to replace an older Vizio TV that was constantly having sound issues.
Pros:
- Lightweight, slim
- Easy Setup
- Lightweight, slim
- Easy Setup
Cons:
- As others have said the picture quality is just not there. Picture varies wildly sometimes from channel to channel. This may or may not be the fault of the cable companies "HD Box". However, I have played around with all the setting on both the Sony TV and the HD Box and the picture remains the same.
- Picture tends to have an over contrasted and/or saturated look to it regardless of settings
- Picture often has a somewhat pixelated look to it as well. My older Vizio TV definitely had a better picture quality. I wish i would have just bought a sound bar for that TV and called it a day. Overall I would NOT recommend this Sony KDL-40R380B model.
