Celebrated TV, it's a Sony!
I went to Objective to get a new LCD tv. I looked at them and the Sony seemed to have the best picture, but it was close with several others as well. I have always been of the mind set that when in doubt, buy the Sony product. I have never been really disenchanted with a Sony product.
I went home and found that Amazon had it much cheaper than Target. I ordered it, and a few days later it was delivered. No problems!
The TV is prodigious, nice picture, PS3 looks superb. It's a Sony!

Unconcerned after 18 months
This exemplar has top notch picture quality and improves on my previous 32" Sony LCD. Then, 18 months later, or 6 months after the commitment expired, it won't turn on anymore due to its faulty power supply. I was shocked because of my previous reliability occurrence with Sony TVs. Then I found out that the Sony Service Facility here in Burbank, CA no longer exists. They have other locations, but they don't service consumer products. Sony's website will listing authorized independent service providers, but most of those providers in my area have bad consumer rating ([...] or reviews from Google Maps!). So the only alternative was a nationwide home service, that charges $99 just to diagnose (but will deduct it from the fix up fee if you choose their service). Fortunately, the credit card that I used to buy this will extend the pledge. I just filed a claim for authorization from the credit card company for the repair.
Note that the one-time 32" Sony LCD is still stable, and was manufactured in Japan. I wish they have the same quality control for this one.
November 13 update: So after having the extended commitment approved by Amex two weeks later, the service guy came in with the sealed box of the power stockpiling part that was shipped from Sony San Diego. The box didn't show any sign of stress, and the part was wrapped in bubbles. The repairman inspected the part first, and hypothesis what - the power supply board was cracked ! That tells a lot about Sony's quality control. Now I have to gap another week for them to get a replacement from Sony. Cross my fingers. Never buying another Sony product.

Odd picture once I got rid of the clouding effect!
I've had this TV for about a week now, and though it was a rollercoaster of emotions at first, I've grown to very like it, and would recommend it-- my only reservation the possibility of backlight clouding.
First of all, the very first thing I noticed after stage set it up was a large but dim purple splotch directly in the center of the screen. My heart immediately sank as this was the dreaded Bravia clouding, or mura, impression I'd read so much about. In other words the backlighting is not completely consistent at all places of the screen and it showed anywhere from jet-black to very dark purple in dark scenes. This is a common problem that a large percentage of the Bravia and XBR Lcds have problems with. Do a google search on "Bravia clouding" for more gen.
To be fair, it was barely noticeable while watching a normal "lit" TV of movie scene, and my girlfriend was fully oblivious to it... But in the black screen pause between channels, dark scenes, and flicks credits this purple blob stood out to me like a 14" Lucky Charms marshmallow-- taunting me for throwing in a different place my hard earned cash...
From what I found online, Sony won't officially recognize this as a defect, and exchanging it for another would have been up-market (for shipping). I decided to try and fix it, and it worked! And while it worked for me, it probably won't work for everyone and you could potentially ruin your TV. Be very well-organized! The thin plastic screens are fragile and you could scratch or permanently discolor it. I took a very clean and swanky melt microfiber cloth, and with the TV on a dark paused screen began to *very lightly* massage the flawed area in circular motions--just enough to make a discolored spot where I touched it. Within 30 seconds I managed to move the neighbourhood near the bottom. Eventually I was able to keep moving it towards the lower edge until the spot disappeared from A to Z! And after two days it hasn't come back.
Even if it doesn't work, the picture settings you choose can labourers lessen this effect as well, especially if you lower your backlight and enable the power saver craze. The initial picture settings out of the box are just terrible with a harsh blue tint and far too much juxtapose and picture. I would recommend something closer to this for normal viewing: Mode=Std, Backlight=4, illustration=75, bright=50, color=50, hue=R1, temp=warm2, sharpness=10, alarums/mpeg=low, and turn off all advanced settings. Search google for more recommendations or just cause trouble around with it some until you find what works best for your use.
Once the picture was adjusted the picture was beautiful-- even better than my new 50" Panasonic Viera plasma. Blacks are difficult black, whites are bright and clear, and HD content especially shines. Standard clarity content looks ok, but the issues there are probably more the signal quality coming in than the TV. I personally do not information much of a difference between 60 and 120hz. So I wouldn't let that scare you off. Also the sound is better than I was expecting. Irrefutably good enough for day-to-day TV watching.
I guess my only reservations, besides the fixed clouding, are the remote isn't my favorite. At this reward I would have liked a better feel and light up buttons. Also the menu system is like a Sony PSP--not very user matey to me. But those are nitpicking... This is a considered a "budget" model for Sony, but for the price you get quite high embodiment and sound quality, making this a very impressive value. And the bezel looks much nicer than any of the competing models I'd considered.

A unequalled television -after firmware update
I purchased this tv for 825.00$ on pageantry and I cannot find a single flaw with this tv after I received the firmware update through Sony.
For an LCD television, the blacks are incredible and blu-rays looked unimaginable!
I use my PS3 for games as well and with the GameMode On, there is no lag when playing games.
You always pay a little more for Sony products but it is well worth it! I compared this boob tube to many other models like Toshiba, Samsung and Panasonic and I found the Sony to be the best out there.

Can We Lawful Go Back to the Trinitron?
In the days, I have always had good luck with Sony TV's, and during the 1990's I had a Sony 32" Trinitron that provided a picture and sound that was terrific in every respect, the state of the art for the time. It was with some disappointment, therefore, that I found that the TV industry's venture into the Brave New World of HD has saddled an express generation of TV viewers with substandard sets that are in many respects far worse than the non-HD sets they have replaced. The Sony Bravia series is, unfortunately, no debarment to this rule.
The Sony Bravia KDL-40V5100 is best when viewing live sports events. If you like to of golf, basketball and football, and little else, this is the TV for you. Unfortunately, the Bravia does not do as well in other situations. Here are some of the flaws I have noticed:
(1) Depiction problems. The only settings that produce an acceptable picture are in the Vivid range. Turning off the inescapable contrast enhancer helps, but the picture quality in most cases is still unacceptable. At its best, the perfect example inform is sharp and crisp, giving great definition, but even on many HD channels there is considerable degradation of draw quality, with feathering and blurring quite noticeable.
The less said about non-HD channels the better. The exact likeness performance in non-HD is abysmal, with dark scenes turning black and light scenes whiting out.
Similarly, no stuff what the player, non-HD DVDs upconvert poorly. Using an ordinary non-HD TV to play DVDs is a far larger choice, and an important one if, like me, you have a large collection of these now obsolete items.
Moreover, for anyone who has a multi-system non-HD TV set (i.e., one that can portray PAL and SECAM in addition to the inferior NTSC format used in the USA), the picture quality for DVDs is so much heartier than on the Sony Bravia that there is really no comparison.
In addition, of course, the Sony Bravia series has significant fading problems when viewed from the side, and it is grossly bad in this respect to Plasma and normal non-HD TV sets.
(2) Screen. The high gloss screen and paste borders are totally unsuited to TV viewing. A Matte screen and non-glare borders would require far more comfortable viewing in all but a darkened theater situation. Any light source reflects off the interview, and is worse than for a regular non-HD TV. In this respect, Plasma TVs are vastly superior.
(3) Sound. The sound is OK most of the every now, but there are periodic and inexplicable dropouts, as well as hissing and popping, problems that are not helped by changing the connections to HDMI. There is something fundamentally reverse with the sound system on the Sony 40V5100, and Sony better fix it fast if they don't want a class-action lawsuit. Examine levels also vary markedly from channel to channel for reasons that are not immediately apparent.
(4) Wheel. The remote control is awkward to operate, with switching from TV to DVD to PC taking up to 15 seconds. Similarly, it takes about 15 seconds for the TV to submit on, once you have pressed the "on" button for a sufficiently long time to persuade the little green "power on" find to finally put in an appearance. When changing channels, the lengthy handshake procedure results in a two-subordinate delay from HD to HD, and five seconds from HD to non-HD, and often a green screen before the next channel displays. Once again, why am I supposed to view this as an increase over a regular non-HD TV, where channel changing is virtually instantaneous?
In sum, the Sony Bravia series is a big disappointment. Its one indisputable advantageously is that, in comparison to Plasmas and non-HD TVs, it is very light, so when the time comes to throw it away, it won't present a sad lifting problem. I still have a couple of serviceable Sony WEGA non-HD TV's. They aren't as good as the old Trinitrons from the 1990's, but at least they are not too bad. I'm going to see how long I can keep them going. The Sony Bravia is going too, right out the door.
I have a request for anyone reading this inspection: please let me know when someone finally produces a decent HDTV. As far as I can tell, no one has accomplished this feat undoubtedly yet.

The overcome LCD TV ever
It is impresive as in a wink as you plugin and watch TV on it, it is outstanding, since the picture quality is not compared to my 720p former Sharp LCD motion pictures... I have PS3 and a Sony HT, and they interact really good, as well as the remote controls, they TV's work with the PS3.
The games with the Sign Flow, as well as Bluray movies are out of this world, the movies look so good that it seems that you are watching through a window than a TV cover. It looks so good that you can see special effects flaws and details not seen on my other TV.
The PS3 resolution misused like 200% better with the sony, and the motion flow helps a lot when changing scenes on a fixed action game.
I updated the firmware connecting it to my router at home, it was simple, and the internet features as the gadgets, YOUTUBE, are ratter stupefying, it is a huge leap on tv functionalities not present on the past.
I have windows 7 on my computer and I have no problem on viewing my pictures from my tv! as well as listening to the music and watching video files as well!
I did modify some of the custom settings on the screen and the image is nothing compared as any other TV screens on the market.

Unique Owner for 18 months strong!
I am an "Old Kind" TV person and balked at paying over $500 for a TV set, but now that I finally relented by buying this HDTV, I have no regrets!
I purchased my Sony KDL-46V4100 February 2009 for $1,299 at Fry's Electronics. Fry's offers a liquid assets-back guarantee if the set went down in price within 30 days. The price dropped $50 twice within 30 period and they happily gave me a total of $100 back - no squabbling or lengthy paperwork required.
I also purchased a 5-year bond for an extra $189 from Fry's. If anything goes wrong (except for intentional damage) in 5 years, Fry's will come and pick up the set and give me a new one or stipulate in-home service. When making an expensive purchase, you should invest a little more and buy the extended pledge.
I am happy to announce that I have not had to use my warranty and have had no problems with my Sony. I did extensive consumer research prior to buying an HDTV and had narrowed my choices to Samsung, Sony Bravia, and Hitatchi. Samsung HDTV's were a bit out of my budget, but Sony was more competitive during the set-back.
I am confident that my TV will outlast my 5-year warranty. I never go to the movies because I have my own Movie Theater experience in fairness in my living room (except for the pushing, shoving, lousy seating and high-priced popcorn).

Tickety-boo TV
I checked reviews on a lot of LCD TVs and tried 2 others (Samsung and Sanyo) before getting and keeping this Sony - I've had it for about 8 months now. I had an old pronounce system that needed RCA phono plug inputs, which the Sony has (Samsung didn't) - when this TV was on sale for $788 I figured I'd existence for a Sony and am glad I did. The picture quality is excellent (the Sanyo had green blacks), sound is obedient without the sound system, and the TV Guide feature is great since I only use antenna. HD is excellent and Std resolution shows are complimentary too - better than the other two. Old black and white shows are true b/w. Others have said Sony quality is not what it used to be, but I've not had that knowledge - this is a fine TV.

I had been searching around for the best deal on a quality tv for months now, and done pulled the trigger on this one after i had done some research. To my surprise, before the day that the tv was supposed to be sent, i received a call from Home Theater Systems saying that they no longer achieve this tv anymore and that they would upgrade me to a current model for free.

Talented experience with Sony service
So far, my participation with Sony's KDL-46V4100 has been very good. Picture is excellent, after about 4 months I have had no problems.
The only dilemma I had was user iniquity - at first I had some older DVD players which would not function on the Composite input to the TV. I finally had Sony service come out to show me that my older players, even though they had composite production, were not compatible with this television (duh). But, I had one newer player than worked just fine. Usefulness could have charged me $100 for the visit, but they didn't, the technician was patient with my ignorance.
So I would rate my neighbourhood service provider for Sony very highly. Quite a shocker.

Panasonic Viera Plasma OR Sony Bravia LCD.....PLEASE HELP!?
Q: Which would gauge a better HDTV for Games,Blueray, and Sports
Sony KDL-40V4100 LCD or Panasonic TH-42PZ85U
Please give a close, intelligent answer!
A: Panasonic TH-42PZ85U
The Sony KDL-V4100 has several things against it for your intended applications. First, an LCD HDTV with only a 60 Hz overhaul rate will jitter and blur fast motion. This is not what you need for games or watching sports. Plasma TVs will not present jitter and blur like that that you will see on this Sony product.
Next, all HDTVs drop accomplish resolution under full motion. A 60Hz LCD HDTV drops 70% or more of its effective resoluteness. Plasma HDTV are the best in this regard, dropping only 10-15%. If you what to see all the niceties during your sports and gaming session, the plasma will give you better results.
Once, the KDL-40V4100 is an 8 bit screen, the Panasonic is a 12 bit screen. This gives the Sony the know-how to only reproduce no more than 72% of the NTSC color range. The Panasonic can repeat over 64 billion color gradations. This eliminates color banding and allows the plasma TV to beget young the full NTSC color range and Blue Ray x.v.Color (Deep Flush) from any Blue Ray source.
Additional Details: Panasonic plasma TVs have omitting resistance to burn-in. If you vary your games with videos & TV, there should be no more risk of wish-in on the TH-42PZ85U than LCD image retention on the KDL-40V4100.
Is it worth it to buy the Sony extended warranty?
Q: I've purchased the Sony Bravia KDL-40V4100 LCD HDTV. http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stor es/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=1055 1&storeId=10151&langId=-1&pr oductId=8198552921665376315
Through a "vendor accomodation" with my boss, I saved $840 and only paid about $600 including tax and shipping for the tv. My coworkers have been asking if I got the pledge on it (through Sony). I didn't when I made the purchase...but it looks like I can buy it within up to 6 months from the purchase friend. It seems to run concurrently with the manufacturer's warranty (which, of course, is Sony anyway). So theoretically, Sony sees it as the longer I linger to buy the extended warranty...the less time I get for coverage.
Is it worth it to buy the extended guarantee on this? 5 years is like $179. 3 years is $99. I do be acquainted with that with LCDs the screen can have issues after a while...I'm just wondering how good Sony's bond coverage really is, and what the process is. If something is wrong, will Sony ship me a pre-paid pack to ship it back to them in, have it repaired and then shipped back to me? It seems like I have read it that way, but I wanted to filch sure. Have you had any good experiences with Sony in regards to this warranty service?
A: i against to sell sony tv's and so dealt with sony themselves,i would say that it would be worthwhile getting the extended warranty,i prob would ethical get the 3 years cos after that they will write to you anyway to see if you want to extend again

1) How reliable are Sony Bravia LCD’s? This is for folks who have owned one for many years… have they prearranged you any problems? Did you ever need to use any warranty or get any repair work done on it?
2) What kind of problems can LCD TV’s have? What are the normal costs for repair incase something does happen and I don’t have an extended agreement?
3) Is the Circuit City advantage protection plan (warranty) even merit it or should I return it for a full refund?
I’m really confused as to what I should do. Should I save the $213 or keep the promise “incase” something happens after 1 year. What are the chances with a discredit like Sony?
A: There are many schools of attentiveness on this. Personally, I buy a warranty on all big ticket items.
The way I look at it is, if I'm spending a $500+ on something it's gonna be precious to fix. I've been doing this for years and have cashed in on it several times. My Wii broke 6 months after I got it. My TV (Sony) flat 4 years after I bought it (I had the 5 year). My refrigerator leaked one year after I bought it. My PDA (Sony) poor 4 years 10 months after I bought it (5 year commitment). My digital camera broke after 2.5 years. So yes, it has worked for me.
