5 out of 5 stars Very happy with our purchase.   November 13, 2008
C. Conrad (SC, USA)
Everything works and I am very happy with the TV. It might have something to do with my inputs but the image in not quiet as crisp as the ones in the stores. The menu is very simplistic and straight forward, which makes tweaking the image some what limited. Still, though everything is working nicely. No problems for the first 4 months.

The TV arrived as promised. The TV itself is outstanding - awesome picture quality, sounds is great, 180 degree viewing angle, more than enough connection ports and most of all, easy to use remote. I highly recommend this HDTV to everyone!


4 out of 5 stars Great TV at an affordable price, not flawless though   September 22, 2008

It suprises me that Sony come up with a 46", 1080P at less than $1600 retail. I own a 42" Panasonic Plasma and need to get another TV for the basement, and admittedly I want one bigger than 42" too since I sit almost 12 ft away from the TV. Been looking for a LCD this time because of lower energy usage and reflection problem in my living room.

So I bought this one, which is the entry level S series Sony. I was very impressed with its vivid color and excellent image, especially at 1080i or 1080P resolution. I got over the air signal and the digital tuner in this TV works great. However, right out of the box, you do need to spend some time to adjust the setting (color, temp, sharpness etc...) to get the optimal image. I spent almost a week to set it up to my satisfaction, and may be it is just me, the picture does get better and better over the time.

No clouding effect, no other working issue like the earlier Sony S2000 series or even the XBR2 series. To the extent, I like both the plasma and LCD, they are both good, it is just a matter of personal preference. Like what the Consumer Report says, if you have a 42" TV, it won't matter much whether it is true 1080P or not as it is hard to notice on that screen size. With 46", you will really enjoy it only if you sit far enough or else the picture is grainny.

Several things that I think Sony can get better for the KDL46S4100:

1) The start up time is a bit slow, it takes awhile for the picture to come after you turn the TV on.

2) For side viewing, it is a bit discouraging, the picture appear to be less lively and less colorful.

3) More inputs option will be nice, at the back there is only 1 set of component/S Video/RCA input, means you can only use 1 non-HDMI input only and the rest has to be HDMI. There is additional set on the side for hook up to game/camcorder.

4) a card reader/USB port will be nice to plug in and watch picture, Panasonic has this even at their $800 plasma TV.

Overall I have pleasant experience with it, like always, Sony makes great product! It looks great even without the 120Hz motion flow.

By the way, the Sony is sitting in my living room now!




4 out of 5 stars Takes long time to power on the TV (~18sec)   August 24, 2008

I got the 46" S4100 TV a couple of days ago. Everything looks great except one thing: it takes about 18 sec every time to power on the TV (I looked at the clock and measured the power on time, it's consistently LONG). Not sure what happened to SONY.


5 out of 5 stars love my new sony bravia   August 4, 2008

I recently received my Sony Bravia Flat Screen TV. It was well packaged and protected. It worked right out of the box with very little problem in setup.

The picture quality is excellent, even when viewing non HD broadcasts. I would suggest that you invest in good HD conecting cables and if you do not have a HD coax cable connecting from you cable input to the TV, change it. You will see the difference.
