Sony Bravia XBR-Series KDL-32XBR6 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV

Was told it would be shipped... 3 days later received email from bruno at electronics expo saying was temp out of stock. then said he could replace our order with Sony Bravia XBR9 (which is actually a lesser deal in respects of quality--read reviews). Then after multiple attempts replace with other models/brands (which he said they do not carry), he then stated in an email "We will not be receiving anymore xbr6 models so, I'm going to cancel this order and refund your purchase". We had multiple opportunities to purchase that product from other distributors, but now that product has been discontinued and for the price we could have gotten that for, it is now unavailable. We called Electontic expo several times to speak with bruno, but every time we called he was not at work. This is just a summary of our transaction with elec expo in brief. We will make sure that anyone who wants to know where to buy their next TV from what to expect from this company.

sound drops out

You can be watching a show and the the sound goes completely out. Flip the channels back and forth and the sound will come back, very annoying, otherwise I like the looks and picture.

Best Of The Bravia Series

I have owned this TV for over a year and it has performed satisfactorily. It was relatively expensive when I purchased it but it is worth every penny. Picture quality on this TV is outstanding when playing Blu Ray or Regular DVD Movies. Digital TV pictures look great too but standard definition pictures look awful. This may not be the fault of the TV though. One minor shortcoming I noticed is that it has mediocre digital tuner. Because of this it does not receive good signal with regular indoor TV antenna unless you spend some money for a quality antenna such as the CLEARSTREAM2 Antenna.

Even though Sony does not advertise it as having high refresh rate this TV show smooth picture during sporting events. The newer Bravia series for whatever reasons are inferior to this TV in performance. I am not upgrading any time soon.

Electronic Expo Scam

They do not have this item in stock. It has been out for over 2 weeks now. This is a bait and switch tactic. They will contact you and offer the 32XBR9 for the same price, which is a product with many problems and not in the same league as the XBR6. Amazon is aware of this, but has not forced them to stop advertising on their site. I contacted Electronics Expo 3 times, and they claim that it is a problem with their site. However, the price has dropped 3 times in the interim and the number of units has fluctuated several times. BUYER BEWARE, this is a scam!

Ready for a TV and a technology that will change the way you see TV and movies? Sony's 1080p KDL-46W4100 with Motionflow™ 120Hz technology creates a new standard for picture performance, with smooth, lifelike image quality that responds to the demands of even the fastest moving images with ease.

BIG BLACK line after 14 months of use - Sorry NO warranty!

Oh NO, my beautiful SONY, true branded SONY... big black line down the screen. Oh the horror and dismay! I received this LCD TV in October 2008 as a 10 year anniversary present. We bought it from Amazon Warehouse Deals. I had to kick in some of my own money to up the brand to a Sony. After a little over 1 year, it developed a big black line down from the top to the bottom of the screen in the RED spectrum only. Green and Blue are fine. But when red shows up on the TV, a big black "burned out pixel line" shows very prominently. So I thought, well, there goes the $1400 we spent on this TV. NOT MY BEAUTIFUL SONY! But alas, after all I could do, no fixing the black line. The Sony authorized service folks told me the LCD panel would need to be replaced and that cost more than to just go buy a new TV. I also called Sony and they told me I would be on my own to get it repaired (again told that the cost of repairs is more than the cost of the TV brand new).

So, $1400 for 14 months of Sony TV use... amounts to $100 a month rental fee and Mother Earth and the trash dump takes one on the chin for another disposable piece of electronic wizardry.

Yes the TV still works, yes one could live with the black line down the TV side but for me every time I watch TV, that line stares at me and I think about nothing but "Dang, this was supposed to be a SONY!"

So, I cannot recommend this product even though for the 1 year it looked beautiful. Unless you buy an GIANT extended warranty, it is wicked to buy a TV and have it last only 1 to 3 years. My 1991 Sony Trinitron still works perfect. My how the brand has suffered over the years. So sad and disappointing.

On the plus side, now I have an excuse to go get a much bigger TV. Maybe this time I will try Samsung... with a MASSIVE extended warranty!

Vertical Lines**Sony Refuses to Acknowledge!!!

Had this tv 18 months and now there are vertical lines on the screen. Been researching and this seems to be a common issue with other folks that have bought this tv around the same time I did. Called Sony and they are no help at all. Have checked into having tv fixed, and price quotes are in the $1,500 range....That is horrible,,,I could buy a new one for less!!! Very upset and filing a complaint with the BBB.

Be careful when buying Sony LCD TV

I bought this Sony LCD TV set at 2008 Christmas. It was excellent in picture and sound, seemed to be better than Samsung LCD TV. Meanwhile, just 2-3 months after the one year warranty, it was found that there was a 2-or-3-pixel-wide vertical line, about 2 inches from the left brim, and from the top to bottom brim, presenting in the screen when watching TV programs, DVD, and BlueRay, which were suspected to be dead pixels. The software was updated to sony_dtv_package206r.p08 but the line was still there. SONY support office told me that this might be caused by TV brocasters! And I need to bring it to repair if it presists after hiding "broadcaster noise" attempts, while the cost won't be covered by SONY as the warranty has expired.

In brief, if you want to watch the TV just for one year, then buy it. Otherwise, think twice!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

disappointed

I purchased this television six months ago. I do not have cable and use an antenna. This tv has a sturdy frame and a very clear picture as well as first rate sound quality for a small screen television; however, on at least one of the major networks this television loses sound and sometimes picture roughly every twenty minutes. I have to move the antenna and/or turn the set off and back on to restore normal broadcast. I have moved this set to different locations and even watched it at a friend's house to rule out the possibility of interference. Nothing has helped. I spoke to a repairman and he says that there's probably a problem with the tuning mechanism and that I'm most likely stuck with a lemon. I bought a Sony thinking that I would get quality. I was wrong. Foolishly perhaps, I just purchased another Sony. This time a 22-inch Bravia L-series. So far, so good. No problems.

Color of TV

When purchasing this TV - no matter what the color of the television says in the description (ex. black, silver, or any other color) - that color will only be on the face of the TV, and the rest of it will be white. If you are aware of this, then you will not be shocked or disappointed when you unpack it. This is an example of a very poor description of a TV. The TV itself is fine.

Good reliable TV. I mounted this TV in my motorhome although the instructions from Sony state that the TV should not be installed in a moving vehicle. I mounted it to a wall mount and it works just fine. Good sound and picture. The only drawback is that I move my motorhome often and the TV autotune takes up to 50 minutes to do an Autosearch to reset available channels in the area.
My old set took only about 5 minutes. Otherwise we love the set and would recommend it.

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!

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.

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.
