Editorial Review :

Want a small LCD TV that still brings a lot to the (kitchen) table? The KDL-37M4000 is Sony's answer. With three HD connections (including an HDMI™, component, and PC input), a sleek design, and the picture quality you've come to expect from Sony, the KDL-M4000/S is designed give you the performance you do want without turning your bedroom or kitchen into a second home theater you can live without.

Disappointed

I purchased this elsewhere for $600. At the time you couldn't get a 37" LCD for that price. I trusted the Sony name based on my own personal experience with a variety of their products, but I am very disappointed with this set. The image quality is sub-par. As many of the other reviews state, it looks like a pixelated mess. Fortunately this is a secondary TV that is in the bedroom, and viewed from enough of a distance that its watchable. I would not recommend this set.

Never Again...

I bought this TV for relatively cheap. And while I did get it for cheap, I am not impressed with the TV and would recommend others to stay away. There are some major issues with this TV that directly impact viewing pleasure.

Pros:
-Decent to Good quality HD picture.

Cons:
- Smaller number of inputs. Two HDMI and two component are not enough.
- Audio from HDMI cuts out regularly regardless of device (Xbox 360, PS3, and hd cable box: this doesn't happen at all on our other TV) This is also important because of the lack of inputs. Because there are only 2 component inputs one of my devices HAS to be on HDMI.
- Due to speaker configuration you can only hear at proper volumes if you are directly in front of the TV. If you sit off to the side audio is much quieter.
- Terrible color banding, especially in SD programming. But it is not limited to SD, it even occurs in high def content.
- Generally bad picture for any SD content, where as my Samsung LCD displays SD content much cleaner.
- Advanced Contrast Enhancement: Worst "feature" to ever be included in a television. Depending on how dark the picture is on screen, the TV will automatically dim the backlight. It is not a gradual dimming and makes dark scenes almost impossible to see. Speaking to a Sony tech support rep, it can not be turned off on this model.

This TV alone has essentially turned me off to any Sony television ever again. Some people may not have these issues, or even notice them (color banding, ACE) but to me they are a major annoyance.

Excellent

I bought this TV in October 2008.It was shipped to me, in south Florida, from California and out of the box the picture and sound were great.
I have Dish Network HD service and the receiver to the TV connection is HDMI.I also have a VCR\DVD combo unit connected using component cables.
I have the Sony 32S3000 which is now 20 months old and I calibrated it using AVIA II.So,I used those values for the 37M initially, and after about six weeks of use I calibrated it using AVIA.The value differences were very slight.
I have a feeling the negative reviews are based on initial impressions and maybe there is a bad connection or an incorrect connection.The Sony manual is very informative.
Also,set your receiver to the native resolution of the TV, which is 720P.I also have the sound set to PCM ONLY and the RF MODE on the Dish receiver.This prevents the sound levels from fluctuating in two channel stereo.
I think this TV, as well as my other Sony, are fantastic.I definitly recommend.

Purchased from a friend

I have always relied on the Sony name for the quality of their products. I replaced my CRT television with this model from a friend who bought it when it came out for a guest bedroom and it did not get used much at all.

I was baffled with the pixellation of the display quaility at first. I do not have cable/satellite but the HD broadcast quaility is great even with regular "bunny ears." Some broadcast channels are still broadcasting in analogue quality display so there was a BIG difference with picture quality between those stations and HD ones. I have read that a good quaility antenna can provide a better picture quality and more channel options - a future upgrade soon.

I use Roku to play Netflix and Pandora and the pixellation issue was the same until I change the box setting to HD (and used an HDMI cable) from the CRT standard, and the graphics are very sharp, I hope Netflix will start offering HD videos soon!

THIS TV DOES NOT WORK IN ANY SYSTEM!!!

I both this tv last year and have just installed at home, in Brazil.
For my surprise, I got only black and white colors.
I found out that the propaganda does not consider the Brazilian system PAL - M when it says that it would work in any system.
Now, I hope I will get support from the store or Sony on finding a solution to my problem.

Sticky pixels are bad

I bought this TV for use as a computer monitor (to pair with my 2 LG 32LH30s for a 3 monitor configuration). The picture was pretty good, but from the first day there was issues with sticky pixels. If I typed any text on a white background then back spaced, several pixels would remain blue where the text was formally. I've never seen this type of issue with any TV (and I've used lots as monitors). Additionally after a few weeks several pixels stuck on white and would not change back at all. This is not acceptable for a TV less than a month old.

I also encountered the sound cut out issue that others have discussed. Since this was being used as a monitor I wasn't too concerned about it (at least not enough to deal with the hassle of shipping it back), but combined with the pixels already going bad it was time to box it up.

Last remarks, from the new entry on Amazon (March 24, 2010) they lead you to believe this is a new model. I found out this was not the case at all. The MFG date was August 09 and the "/9" appended to the model number was just a sticker stuck on the outside of the box. This actually made it older than my two LG monitors I bought in October and January and just seemed a bit deceptive to me. Check the reviews for the KDL-32S5100 since as far as I can tell it is the same.

This would have been my 6th HDTV purchase overall in the past 3 years and its the first one I've returned. Sony definitely doesn't mean quality like it used too.

Not bad... but

Well, the picture is clear, and looks good, didnt notice the audio issue, but the channels change tooo slow and this is not a new model, the manufacture date is APRIL 2009... and yes the /9 is just a sticker in the box... I would return it but the cost would be higher to me... for the first time I'm dissapointed with amazon.

Bravia

Got it to go with a bravia blue ray/surround system. The resulting picture from the hdmi is unbelievable, and the bravia sync works very well. Picture through co-ax and video inputs were a bit worse than expected, but the component input produces near hdmi clarity. Also the menus allow for very detailed adjustments of the picture and input settings. I am very satisfied with this tv.

Perfect for my needs

This was my first HDTV so I went a little crazy comparing all the models out there. It's for my bedroom so I knew I wanted a set around 32''. This TV is PERFECT! When I bought this at a local store they had all the 32'' sets side by side and this one blew them away. The blacks are black, the colors are vivid and the picture is SHARP. I have it hooked up to cable (720p), a blue ray player (1080p), and a Wii; they all look amazing. The sound with the bluray player is also very impressive for in TV speakers. I'm definitely going to look at other Sony Bravia products for my next TV. I now want a 50'' for the living room so if you have suggestions let me know :)
