Sony Bravia KDL-40W4100 LCD TV Review

First of all, I fell in love with this tv, displayed at Video Only. I looked at many tv's and when I ran into this one. I knew this was the one. The picture was BRIGHT, colorful, vibrant and in a sense, unbelieveable. So even though it was 400 dollars more than some other tv's I bought it. It was what I was looking for.

I got it home, unboxed it, plugged in the power cord and hdmi cable. I turned it on and low and behold the shiat hit the fan. The picture was no way and no where as clear, bright, as nice as it was at Video Only. I spent two days working with the picture to see if I could ever get that same love, same satisfaction that I had at Video Only. That love never came back. I spent $1500 on the tv and I wasn't satisfied with my purchase. I boxed it up and took it back to Video Only and told them I was terribly disappointed. I went on to exchange it for the Samsung LN40A650. Which has been a good tv for me.

When I took the tv back to exchange it, I had found out that Video Only had it plugged into a Blu Ray Player playing a colorful animated movie.

The TV will prob produce a colorful vibrant picture when using with a blu ray. But don't expect it on reg high def television. That's what I watch most of. Not movies in the blu ray. I couldn't justify the cost difference with that TV, when I could get a cheaper tv that performs just as well.

It's no lie. Sony thanks high of their name. You pay for it anytime you purchase their product.
