Worth the money

Cons: Nothing so far

Summary: I've had my 40W4100 for 3 weeks now. I researched, researched and researched until I was worn out. I had narrowed my selections down to this or Samsung. I didn't like the TOC or gloss screen of the Samsung (my den has alot of glare during the day) so I decided on the Sony. And boy am I glad I did! This TV just blows me away! I have everything connected HDMI (DishTV HD HR21, PS3 and Onkyo 606 receiver). If anyone is on the fence about this TV climb on over and get one!!

You will NOT be disappointed. Youwould not believe the WOW factor from my friends when they see it for the first time, and I find myself never wanting to go to bed at night anymore. HAHA....Nothing, and I mean nothing, is ever perfect! I can assure you the Samsung's aren't perfect, either. So from a true 40W4100 owner, BUY THIS TV, you will not regret it!!!!

Great TV. Must Buy

by smartass505 on September 26, 2008

Pros: Amazing picture way better then my 40V4100 i bought just 3 months ago. Very reasonably priced.

Cons: Not so much a "con", but takes a while to get everything setup just right, it has very detailed menus. Once everything is tuned just right it is great. Price went down a couple hundred dollars a few days after i bought it.

Summary: The picture is amazing, a lot of inputs including 4 HDMI. I couldnt ask for more without paying way more money.

Summary: It's been said that Sony takes the best parts of every one of there tv's and makes the XBR with them. This TV is part of the HDNA line of Bravias. I bought the tv because I had recieved an awesome offer from Video Only. On display with a blu ray player connected to it, it was awesome. When I got it home and plugged my hdmi cord into it, the picture fell way short. The picture has great bright colors, but it lacks true definition in which I was severely disappointed in. After a week of use I decided to take it back because even with the great deal, I couldnt justify keeping it. I could get just as good of a picture if not better with a reg 1080P picture for 400 dollars less and be happier with it. The 120hz feature was nice and actually what I think I paid for with the tv was the lousiest Bravia picture engine with the 120hz motion senser. Thats how Sony apparently does business and put's there products together.

I mentioned XBR above because I believe there are parts of this tv that goes into the xbr version. The bottomline is when the sales rep tells you that when you buy a Sony product you are actually buying the name. Believe them. That's how I felt when I bought this tv. Unfortunately.

Summary: I love this TV. I have standard basic Comcast analog cable. The HD tv stations come through nicely with the cable connected. The TV wont see them "over the air" without the cable connected.

Only one problem with this TV that I noticed. If I start my Phillips DVD player "after" the TV has started I sometimes need to restart the TV in order for it to see the DVI port.

I would highly recommend this TV though. Its awesome and works great with my playstation3.
