Editorial Review

Product Description: Prepare for full 1080p HDTV. The 40" BRAVIA S Series KDL-40S4100 is an amazing value, and comes fully-loaded with 24p compatibility for smooth playback of filmed content. It also features a wide variety of HD inputs (3 HDMI, 2 component inputs, and a PC input) so you can connect it to a PlayStation 3, Blu-ray Disc player, and up to four more HD-enabled devices. Now you can watch all your favorite movies, sports, and games with the pristine picture and vibrant sound that you expect from a Sony at an unbelievable value.Movies and many prime time TV programs are captured at 24 frames per second (24p). Sony's Blu-ray Disc players wisely take advantage of this by including 24p output capability allowing a compatible connection with BRAVIA HDTVs that have this capability. The benefit - you can watch movies in natural, cinematic motion, the way they are seen at the cinema. Every single frame of the movie can now be seen without using additional video processing that converts film-based images to video reproduction.

Very pleased.

This TV was a big upgrade for us. We've never had a flat screen/hi-def TV before. I was rather overwhelmed by all the options out there, and I am by no means an expert on such things. I chose this one based on good reviews and what seemed like a reasonable price. I couldn't be more pleased. This TV looks great, sounds great, and is easy to use.

Sony Bravia KDL-40S4100

The picture is great. I don't know how much better the 120Hz or other higher cost Sony's are, but the 1080 resolution on this basic Bravia is superb - I've yet to notice any blurring on fast moving objects.

The sound is very good - for DVD's or orchestral shows, I've got it attached to two channel stereo - not surround, but plenty good enough.

The only annoyance is the slow warmup (15-20 seconds) - but that's it! An Excellent choice for HD!

Cableless man meets HD world

I consider my self pretty low tech and wanted to leave my review for people who may be in the same boat as I am. I wanted a larger TV and I wanted simplicity, quality and not to wonder if it was all a waste.

Well I am super satisified with this TV for the following reasons.

1. Easy to set up. I don't have cable and it just scanned for all the HD and analog stations and that was pretty much about it.
2. Great sound. I don't have a stereo system to hook up to and so it was important that the TV's speakers could, well, speak for themselves. They are very good.
3. Picture is super and seems to adjust itself to suit whatever type of input (HD, Analog, DVD, Video) is coming in. People Don't look short and squat. Everything looks great, and full size and I don't have to do any adjusting when I change a channel.


Note: I will say that using a standard video tape produces an okay picture, but I assume this is the same for every TV. When I play DVD using my computer and connect to TV with HDMI cable, picture is excellent. So just using the antenna cable is not good enough with my current DVD player. I will likely update it or just play it through my computer.

Also, as other reviews say, set up (base mount) was easy. Slide it on base and tighten four screws.

Anyway, I'm sure I'm missing 75% of the features of this baby, but for the "simple cave man HD TV Guy" I am completely satisfied.

Also, TV doesn't make any buzzing or humming noises (hey, that stuff bugs me so I thought I'd add it).

Good luck with your purchase.

David
