Sony Bravia W Series KDL 40W4100 40 Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV

Sony’s 1080p KDL-40W4100 with Motionflow 120Hz technology doubles the number of existing frames by calculating in real time and inserting 60 entirely new frames between the original 60 frames, this creates a new standard for picture performance, with smooth, lifelike image quality that responds to the demands of even the fastest moving images with ease. Full HD 1080p means the W4100 connections accept 1080p signals and the Display will render that signal in Full HD 1080p. Take full advantage of Blu-ray Disc players and PlayStation(R) 3 systems that can deliver 1080p content. The latest version of Sony’s respected BRAVIA Engine fully Digital video processor uses a collection of unique SONY algorithms to significantly reduce noise and produce sharp, vibrant, life-like images. With Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE) you get real-time image processing to dynamically adjust backlight levels for improved Contrast without masking details the filmmaker intended you to see. ACE delivers deep blacks in darker scenes, as well as fine details in shadows and other dark areas of the picture for a difference you can truly see. Add to that unique features like the enhanced Xross Media Bar(TM) with 3D graphics and integrated TV Guide program information, built-in DMeX functionality, and you can see why we call the W-series the new standard in 120Hz performance.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars so far so good
Received the Sony Bravia tv that I ordered on time and in good condition. Driver was very courteous and plugged in tv to make sure it was working but despite what Amazon said he would do, he did not put it on the stand or hook anything up. I did all the labor but it was not really any problem at all. Directions were very easy to follow and understand to set tv up but be sure you read them all the way through before you start or you may have to reset again from beginning. Picture was absolutley beautiful in hi def.and the sound really dynamic…lots of choices to tweek the picture and sound but not really neccessary right now. Did’nt even have to upgrade to a cable box but just went right into tv and picked up even more stations than I was getting before, including digital and many in hi def. Some really cool features include the tv guide selection on the remote control, but it took about 2 weeks for it to finally load up and work properly instead of the 24-48 hrs Sony said but my guess is that it was a cable issue. All is working well and I hope will continue for a long time but I’ve only had it for a month and electronics can be tricky. Not sure if I will get the extended warranty but I probably will in time. I researched a long time to find the right lcd flat screen for me and I think I picked a winner. Works great with the vcr/dvd player I already had. It’s my first flat screen and my first purchase from Amazon. Saved big bucks over brick and mortor stores. I would do it again , but only from Amazon with I think a little better service.

5 Stars Excellent product, excellent service.
Product arrived in two days, and is an excellent product at a price hundreds of dollars less than at retail stores in the Atlanta area.

2 Stars Poor picture quality in low light
For me, this tv looks great when watching sports or similar during the day. When watching a movie at night, however, the picture is horrible. Way too much backlight bleed from the top two corners. I thought it must be a defect and had Sony ship out a new one … same problem. Then they sent someone out to look at it and ended up telling me this is just the way it is. They might be right as looking around the net you see many similar complaints.

Very disapointed – this is not the 5 star set as advertised on this site. Not much point to the blu-ray player I also purchased when the tv picture is so bad when showing a dark picture. Do not buy this tv if you want to watch movies.

5 Stars My 1st 1080p HDTV
This Sony Bravia 1080p 120Hz W-Series 40 inch is the best gift I’ve purchased for myself in years. Though technology is continuously advancing I purchased at a time when this item was at it’s lowest just above $1,000. Because just about everyone else purchased their huge LCD HDTV’s too early my “little” 40 inch is MORE advanced than theirs. This set has an AUTO adjust – meaning I was watching a regular DVD and the set auto adjusted to full screen. It also auto adjusted the cable HD channels to full screen the first time and it just stays full screen. The Cable HD channels are wonderfully clear and crisp however the 120Hz does not kick in. I think it’s because the networks are not that advanced enough just yet. So it’s just the 1080p HD that’s at work. BUT when watching a Blu Ray DVD or playing the PS3 games THAT’s when I can CLEARLY see the 120Hz working. I purchased special 120Hz HDMI 12 foot cables 10.3GBPS (from Amazon only $14 or $15) to ensure the picture quality is not lost. The picture is bright and very colorful. As technology advances this set will last through a few years because of the 120Hz. So it’s a great buy for today, especially before the stock market bounces back!

4 Stars Great picture–input options limited
The picture and the transaction were (are) flawless. I bought this to solve an input problem with my home theatre, and it didn’t solve that, but otherwise, it’s a terrific TV.
