The L4000 Series from Sony represents their least expensive entry level line of LCD televisions featuring a native 720p resolution. Intended for consumers that want a "Sony" without paying too much of the Sony premium, the L4000s shed away most of the features found in the more expensive models offering a core HDTV. The step-up above the L4000 Series is the M4000 series which features the same 720p native resolution, and adds the Bravia Processing Engine, and a dynamic backlight.
MSRP $700 - $950
