Great 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 sound 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 spring for a Sony and am glad I did. The picture quality is excellent (the Sanyo had green blacks), sound is good without the sound system, and the TV Guide feature is great since I only use antenna. HD is excellent and Std resolution shows are good 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 experience - this is a fine TV. |
Great Service and value

| The original order was out of stock but the retailer upgraded to a newer model with more features at no extra cost. Was delivered on schedule. TV has a great picture with many nice features. I am still having a problem viewing a slideshow from USB source but am making progress. I recommend this product and retailer. |
What a great surprise!

| I ordered this tv a few weeks ago because it was on sale and the shipping was going to be free for it. I had been searching around for the best deal on a quality tv for months now, and finally 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 make this tv anymore and that they would upgrade me to a current model for free. I was immediately shipped the VE5 46 Inch Bravia with everything updated such as refresh rate, more HDMI ports, and everything else. Turned out to be a $2,000 dollar tv for less than half the price. Quite a steal in my book. |
Great experience with Sony service

So far, my experience 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 error - 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 output, were not compatible with this television (duh). But, I had one newer player than worked just fine. Service could have charged me $100 for the visit, but they didn't, the technician was patient with my ignorance.
So I would rate my local service provider for Sony very highly. Quite a shocker. |
Poor Picture quality, I can't believe it's a Sony!

This is my first Sony TV set (KDL46V4100). My wife and I chose it mainly because of Sony's reputation.
We loved it so much at the beginning. But couple days after I took it home, I noticed every time I turn on the TV, only on HD channels, there are many black spots on the picture, especially on people's faces. After one hour or so, those black spots gradually disappeared. I am not sure if this is due to the cold weather. But this is Sony! It should not need warm up! My old Panasonic and Hitachi do not need, at least.
I visited sony's website and did a firmware update. It doesn't help. Since it's still under warranty, I am going to call Sony for repair/replacement, or return it to Best Buy.
Every thing else is good. But poor picture quality is enough to get this Sony a 1-star. Unbelievable! |
