Great Picture -Don't Believe 120hz

This is a great value. The picture is superb. I own a comparable 120hz Samsung which is also great, I have got to be honest I wish I had saved the extra $150 and gotten the Samsung with 60hz the "jutter" /shaky issue is bull.There is no noticeable difference and no noticeable "jutter.Both have great pictures with blu ray videos and live action sports.Just more hype to get more $$ from consumers.

Excellent lcd tv

The Sony KDL-40V4150 appears to have very few differences when compared to the Sony KDL-40V4100, but it does have an extra 6 months on the manufacturer warranty. The picture is outstanding, even in a daylight bright room. In fact, the default "Vivid" picture setting is a bit too bright, but the "Standard" setting works out just right for us with no additional picture tweaks. 1080p and BluRay are simply incredible, enough said. I was a bit concerned that this is not a 120hz set, but I have not found any blurring or stuttering problems with movies or fast action sports. My old eyes may simply not be fast enough! Sound from the speakers is plenty loud and clear for an average family room, but movies are best with a surround system cranked up. I use a single very inexpensive (search Amazon) HDMI cable between the cable box and the tv, and another between BluRay and the tv. They both work great ... no cable mess behind the tv. Currently I run audio out from the tv to a basic surround system that I turn on for movies. This simple setup may get more complex when I install a new home entertainment system with its own HDMI switching and upconverting!

Only complaints ... there can be a long delay when switching channels, but most of that seems to be caused by the cable box. With a direct antenna feed the tv channels switch very quickly. Also, I can't program either the tv remote or the cable box remote to handle all necessary functions, so I find myself with a remote in each hand fairly often.

Extremely Pleased!!

I bought this TV at B&H Photo for $70 less than the S-series available at Walmart and V-series has a lot more features and capabilities than the S-series product. I am very pleased with the picture quality, sound and various features. I have watched a few fast-action movies have noticed no blurring as reported for other brands of 60Hz TV. I am also surprised that the digital out (optical) from TV connected to my audio receiver not only carries the digital sounds from DVD players, DirectV receiver, and rooftop antenna but also it appears that the analog sound from VCR is piped out of the optical digital output (I did not expect that at all). The 4-HDMI connections are more than plenty as I don't expect to use more than 3 at the most (using only two at this time). Picture quality for SD TV is fine but HD is superb. It has the capability to adjust the backlight intensity with the lighting in the room. Oh, the most pleasing thing...I have windows facing the TV (right behind me) and even with a bright sun, I don't see any glare on the screen (of course the shiny frame does have glare). It used to be a major problem with my old tube TV and I could not watch TV without my window shades drawn.

I love the TV guide feature for off-the-air channels (if picks up TV guide coded in the signal)...amazing. PAP/PIP work only if one of the inputs is cable/antenna...so, it is somewhat limited; but I have hardly used PAP/PIP in the two weeks of owning this TV.

There is one feature I wish it had: my 32" Vizio has a "panoramic screen" option for SD channels. The panoramic screen leaves the center of the picture unchanged but stretches the content away from the center to fill the screen. Sony 4150 does not have that feature.

I still cannot figure out why this TV (4150) is cheaper than 4100 even though 4150 has longer warranty (18 months as compare to 12 months). People say that 4100 and 4150 are "quite" the same except the warranty length...but I don't know what exactly are the differences (if any, apart from the warranty length).

Unfortunately, there is no description of 4150 model on the Sony website.

Overall, I am please to have spend $130 more than the the Phillips 42" TV I was seriously considering at Walmart. Sony V4150 has a lot more features and definitely far better picture and sound.

Love the TV

This was a great purchase. Easy to set up. I did have a friend help me to slip the TV into its base. Selecting the channels to watch and those not to watch (delete) was relatively easy to do. The colors are amazing and I suppose they could be even better if I took the time and effort to make them so, but they were amazing just as they were when the TV was put on the first time. The 1080 TV is something else in the sense that when I watch individual persons on shows or the news, you can see all the zits, pimples, and makeup of stars and newscasters. You could also see who's really beautiful and who's really not.

I love this TV

This is my first wide screen TV. It was very easy to set up; even for a 64 year old guy. Connections to the cable box and DVD player were extremely easy. I highly recommend this for folks like me who are not experienced with HDMI and all of the other stuff that comes with the new digital and HD devices. From carton to viewing took less than an hour including connections. I had help from my son, but as it turns out; I could have done it alone. I recommend using help when you can get only because it is a great bonding experience; especially when everything goes right.

So far, I haven't had to refer to the instructions to use the set (after a week of regular use). I found the remote easy to figure out and kind of fun to play with. 40" inch screen is about right for our family room and a big step up from the 32" screen we had been using.

Picture quality is superb for HD TV stations. Yesterday I upgraded our Comcast cable box to HD and the difference is remarkable. I made all of the changes myself; it was a snap - unplugging and plugging in stuff - no instructions - no problems - no calls to Comcast (or to my son). So yes, as other reviewer commented you will absolutely want to upgrade your cable box if you have one. Images from TV stations on the old cable box was grainy and some of the words were difficult to read; I felt like I was going to get a headache trying to focus using the old cable box.

Incredible picture

I had originally planned to get a Panasonic plasma 50 inch. I had 3 sony's before and all had great pictures and i didn't want risk getting less quality. In came the46 XBR. I bought it as a floor model and saved a ton of money. I hooked it up in 10 minutes. The picture at first was great but it was very dim. I called sony the next day and they said to turn off the light sensor. POW. The picture went from great to incredible. It was bright, sharp, and 3D like. Cable is terific and Blue Ray's are stunning. I put in I Robot and the images looked like I was on the movie set watching it get filmed. The sound is great and sounds like you are in the threatre.

Great picture however it has gone to pot after 17 months.

No help from Sony. I did not purchase the extended warranty. I thought SONY would be a reliable product. WRONG

Never again. The tv has a severe ghost image when turned on and it is getting worse week by week.

Better than anything you have now

Don't waste your life worrying about which LCD is better than the others. Get either a Samsung or a Sony and you won't be disappointed. Once you get it in your house, it will look a thousand times better than your prior TV, so just pull the trigger and be done with it. The High Def channels are amazing but it does have some issues with black on black, make some adjustments until you see what you like.

Sony Bravia XBR KDL-46XBR6 tv

I purchased this tv because of its beautiful color and sharp images. However within a few months the LCD panel went, leaving me with no picture except for broad bands of solid vertical colors. We brought it to a Platinum Sony authorized repair shop and a new panel was inserted. The tv was returned to us in 4 weeks. Now the exact part, the LCD panel, has to be replaced again for the very same problem, only this time it is no longer in warranty. The repair cost to replace the panel for the second time is quoted at $1,995 for the actual part and then $395 added on for labor. To get our tv back, the repair costs will be greater than the the total price of what we paid for the actual brand new tv. Sony headquarters will not assist in the cost of the new replacement LCD panel even though the tv panel needs replacement for the second time! We not only still owe $1200 on our credit card for the original purchase, we will now have to pay $2,395 to repair it while still paying on the original purchase bill. Shame on Sony for not honoring a warranty on the replaced part. Buyers beware!!!!!! It is indeed a beautiful tv but should it break, such as the main LCD panel... watch out. The tv repair will cost more than the actual tv!

Awesome product. Wait for Christams or Thanks giving deals. I got this TV and Sony BDP 550 for $1800 during 08 Christmas at Amazon. Also check xbr 9. Usually 46" and higher have better specifications than smaller size models. Use Amazon Bravia comparison chart for further analysis.

Thanks to the supplied BRAVIA 1080p wireless media box, you can place your XBR10 series on the wall and keep your video components where they belong - out of sight. The media box allows you to wirelessly transmit high-definition 1080p quality video and audio to the TV, so you can keep your components inside a cabinet and still control them with ease.Featuring an edge lit LED backlight, and the BRAVIA XBR10 series is the thinnest HD television Sony has yet to produce. Designed to deliver unbelievable blacks and brilliant whites, this HDTV also boasts an unbelievably slim form factor and an amazing 1,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio which will leave you wondering if the view is nicer with the TV on or off.

Best TV in the world

I've had my KDL52-XBR10 since mid-December. WOW! Beautiful design. The picture quality is mind-blowing. Watching the Winter Olympics in HD is amazing, you can see every hair in detail. The colors are spectacular and the blacks are DEEP. 240 Hz Motion Flow makes everything smooth. The picture is spectacular right out of the box, but you also have complete control over picture (and sound). Settings, inputs, Internet, and other options are accessible via the well-thought out on-screen Xcross Media Bar. To access the Internet or your home network directly from the XBR10, you'll either need a hard-wired Ethernet connection between the XBR10's media box and your router, or a wireless bridge (e.g. Linksys WET610N) connected to the media box to access your wireless router (e.g. Linksys WRT610N). I chose the wireless option and it works flawlessly.

Beautiful Picture

I've had the set for 30 days now. I had some early concerns on the whole Edge-Lighting thing but they turned out to be frivolous. The picture has been outstanding. Played Dark Knight and Underworld, and the set handled the contrasts and deep blacks superbly.

The thin design is a work of art. My set sits on a console (not mounted) and sets the room off nicely; no visible wires and elegant design.

The streaming functions are a nice feature; good integration with Amazon and Netflix. However, I'm pouzzled as to why there doesn't appear to be a way to access free internet content via portals like Hulu, TV network sites and such, without a laptop. (Or I haven't figured it out yet.)

One mild annoyance that has more to do with Sony than the XBR10: No wireless internet dongle available from Sony. The Samsung version only works with Samsung products. So if you don't have a Ethernet port nearby, you'll need a wireless bridge to use a wireless home network.
