 Expected more from Sony |

| I'm gonna tell it to you like it is folks. I recently purchased a "refurbished" KDL-40Z4100/B direct from Sony Style. However, what Sony sold me was a used, not a refurbished, TV. Although there was nothing functionally wrong with the TV I received, it was obvious that it had been used for some time. There were chips, tape marks, scuffs and scratches all along the bezel and the screen looked as if someone tried to clean it with a dirty sponge. Manufacturer date on it was 5/2008 so my guess is it was an in store demo which would explain why aesthetically, it looked so rough. A call to Sony customer service, to negotiate a $200 credit, was futile. The supervisor on duty, Dave, said the best he could do was a $100 credit, which was more of a "Hey, you're wasting my time. Here's a hundred dollars. Now go away" gesture. I spent an entire afternoon trying to reason with Dave @ Sony, but he held the line and said that he was bound by policy. When I asked for his supervisor, he said he could give me an email address to lodge a complaint. In the end, I took the $100 credit, got a refund for the 2 year extended warranty I purchased, and applied the total refund to a 5 year extended warranty (because my main concern is the back light). Needless to say, I expected more from Sony and at $800 for a used TV and it was used, this was a fair deal at best. Integrity is a rare find in retail these days and Sony is no exception. Hope your experience is better. |
No Sparkles

The one-star reviews complain about "sparkles". I've had this TV for almost a year and the only time I've noticed sparkles is sitting about 6 inches from it.
The USB function isn't great - it only works with "Cruzer" brand USB drives - I couldn't get the USB input in the TV to work with card readers, iPods, ect. Not really a problem for me since there's so many ways to get networked music into this TV.
The picture and the sound are so good I'll give it 5 stars. Once you watch a Blu Ray movie on this TV everything else is going to look inferior - I've never seen a better TV on the market, though I guess they've started making slimmer, LED TVs for like a million dollars. |

Bought this TV about a week ago, got it at CompUSA here in Florida.. Was on sale for $850 so I jumped on it as I was in the market to buy a TV (Ironically enough AMAZON screwed me and my order and just said 'opps' sorry and nothing else) so they lost my business and I saved about 300-400 bucks.
But anyways this TV is awesome.. video games look amazing from my PS3.. Blu Rays as well..
I turn the motion smoothing or whatever it is for movies.. makes them to surreal and makes em looks like soap operas.. but otherwise its awesome and has a great picture..
Definate upgrade from my old 36 inch 720p westinghouse TV i had before this that died.. lol |

| Can anyone who owns this Z series TV with the silver bezel comment on whether it is actually stainless metal or just silver-colored plastic? Thanks! |
