Product Information

The smart Sony KDL40D3500 arrives with fabulous picture quality to heighten your viewing pleasure. Sony’s unique Live Colour Creation technology uses an incredibly pure backlight to produce a picture that is more realistic and natural to the human eye. The Bravia picture performance engine with 6.2 Mega Pixel resolution ensures outstanding colour and clarity.
S-Force Pro Front Surround and 20 watts of power guarantee an involving listening experience, which will have you in the middle of the action. Anybody who uses their digital camera on the high definition setting will be pleased to hear about the Photo TV HD feature. It allows you to view high-resolution digital still photographs in optimal quality. So those important memories will be so clear you’ll be tempted to reach out and touch them.
The Sony Bravia KDL40D3500U has an integrated digital tuner for access to Freeview digital channels. You’ll be able to access on-screen programme guides for easy planning of your viewing. A table top stand is included
This television is ‘high definition ready’ which means it has the ability to display high definition signals with the addition of a separate HD receiver. HD broadcasts are at a much higher resolution than regular analogue or digital broadcasts and have greatly enhanced picture quality. The level of detail is astonishing with clearer, sharper and more vibrant images. 1080p
1080p is the purest form of high definition that a television can display. This leads to a smoother, more film-like image, which will satisfy sports and movie lovers alike. With a 1080p signal, the information that makes up an image is displayed “progressively” or all at once, rather than in an “interlaced” fashion.

5yr warranty may clinch the deal for some. TV can also be bought for £650 elsewhere.

That's very true as I've done a Google shopping search and the cheapiest I've it is £659.74 delivered but for another 4 years warranty they want an extra £423 and I believe if your paying this much money for a TV then spending the extra £90 (around 44p a week for the extra 4 years) with John Lewis gives you peace of mind.

Below is a review.

Sony has recently upgraded their D3000 with the new Bravia D3500 series which includes a number of upgrades and enhancements over the previous models, bringing the overall spec up to a higher end. The Sony KDL40D3500 is a middle range 40-inch LCD HDTV with a full HD 1080p screen for the highest HD format, offering some great features at a very reasonable price.
The Sony KDL40D3500 might still cost more than some other manufacturers, but they might not be so well equipped as the KDL-40D3500. The KDL40D3500 provides a great high to middle range 40-inch full HD HDTV at around £750 ($1500), much cheaper than their KDL40W3000.
The 40-inch Sony KDL40D3500 provides many great new features commonly only found on top of the range models, such as a full HD screen, 24p support for true film frame rates, a high dynamic contrast ratio of 16,000:1 for superior colours and black levels. Along with Sony’s Bravia Engine to enhance image quality, contrast and reduce noise, and Live colour creation provide very impressive image quality. TrustedReviews say, another benefit of the KDL40D3500: its exceptional sharpness. Fine details are rendered with total, noiseless precision, giving the image exactly the sort of ‘snap’ we love to see with our HD stuff. Plus the image tends to look more three-dimensional thanks to all the background detail that’s resolved.

Comets and Currys are both doing this for £749 without the 5 year warranty and I don't think John Lewis pricematch with online merchants.
It's surprising the John Lewis deal is better the Currys and Comets considering the bulk the C&C must buy in. Also the John Lewis deal doesn't say online offer only so if the store has it then you can get it straight away (if you have a big enough vehicle :rotfl: ).
I dont work for John Lewis (honest) and I've mostly found them to be expensive but they do have some cracking deals sometimes.

John Lewis will price match with a company called Sound and Vision. I am currently going through this with them now as we are after a KDL40V3000

takes around 7 days to find out if they will price match it and as stated before they do not price match online, only with stores.
