5 Stars Great TV
This TV is a great value. It looks excellent (especially when connected to a Sony BluRay). The adjustable backlight with light sensor is a nice feature.
It has excellent picture quality. Standard definition channels look better than they do an a tube TV. The HD channels look amazing.
It has a good number of HDMI inputs and enough connectivity to other devices.
Sound quality is excellent as well – but can always improve by hooking up a surround sound system.
You won’t regret purchasing this TV.
5 Stars Good device for good price
I just received this television. My first impression is great. I’ve been investigating diffrent brands and different models of LCD TV’s for a while. Here is the conclusion I reached and the reasons for purchasing this TV:
* Sony has great models for over $2500. They have great picture but not great enough to compensate for the couple of thousand extra dollars paid. I saw 46XBR6 and 46V5100 next to each other in BB and did not see a significant difference except the price.
* Samsungs have great LCD TVs. But glossy screen would not work for me at all. I have a bright living room where my TV is located. So, if you will have your TV in a bright room, you probably would like to avoid glossy screens like Samsung has. It really reflects a lot almost like a mirror. This was a big deal for me.
Now, my experice with KDL46V5100 is as follows:
It has great picture quality. I did not expect it to be so good at even SD. It is very easy to use. We plugged the TV and started to use it right away. Even user’s manual is just a few pages. Before buying the TV I paid extra attention to the wide angle performance. This TV has about the same view from front and from sides: no changes in color or image quality with angle that I recognized.
I am extremely satisfied with the Amazon delivery. They brought the TV, unpacked it and installed the TV on the stand.
Good TV for good price and good service from Amazon…
5 Stars Buy this one, not the Samsung!
I researched 46 inch lcd tv’s for months, and every site recommended the Samsung 550, so I bought it. I’m not a techie, so I’ll just say this: the speakers on all Samsungs are on the bottom of the set, so unless you know how to hook it up to an external sound system, every show will sound like you’re inside a tin can with the lid closed. I sent it back and got the Sony, which is a VAST improvement; the speakers are on the front of the set, where they belong. The picture is sharp, colors saturated and beautiful, it’s easy to navigate. It’s a great TV. Unlike the Samsung, which is incredibly shiny and reflective, the Sony even looks great in my living room. I love it!
1 Star I’m Frightened!!! But, It’s Okay…I can still Return It!! 
Just got this TV last weekend…picture quality on regular channels IS FAR WORSE than on my cheapo $300 regular TV we had used for years! Anyway, We have a HD Comcast box…and the HD Channels are really great, but most of the channels are regular..and they are HORRIBLE!!! I mean there is a constant GRAININESS to all the channels, its just hard to even try to watch a channel…or everything looks like its from a camcorder. I am not happy. Then yesterday, the sound just died…its still there, don’t get me wrong, but I hear this buzzing sound behind the sound from the TV and its SO LOW I can hardly hear the words people are saying. OK, so sound is bad now, and buzzing noise, and normal channels SUCK SO BAD its not even funny! It’s unwatchable..I was expecting a little more from a $1500 tv, i am returning it this weekend! Maybe I will get Samsung.

5 Stars Dana’s Video Update
The Sony DMEX DMXSW1 HDMI BRAVIA Input Link is a great addition to my Bravia TV. It has added five additions HDMI inputs to my TV and I am using them all. Before I had another HDMI selector and yet another remote on the coffee table. The Sony DMEX DMXSW1 HDMI BRAVIA Input Link works seamlessly with the TV’s remote. Simply hit HOME select the input and hit ENTER, just that easy! And the wife likes that there is one less remote!Sony DMEX DMXSW1 HDMI BRAVIA Input Link

4 Stars Samsung 32 Inch 720 LCD
Have been extremly pleased. Easy to set up and fantastic delivery time. There is a delay when you turn it on of a few seconds however one gets use to it. Great picture quality. In comparing this set to the 1080 version could not tell the difference nor was the difference worth the additional cost.
Only unknown how will we feel in time.
5 Stars Can’t beat the quality for the price.
I love this TV. Make sure to spend a little time to properly set this set up and you’ll love the quality HD picture and sound.
4 Stars lcd tv
I like the tv but the one thing I don’t like about it is the size source
I should have gotten a tv with size 1080 which this tv doesn’t have.
5 Stars Nothing like a Samsung
My 1st HDTV and I am truly impressed. Samsung has again not disappointed me with their quality or service. After looking high & low for the right HDTV for the price, this model came up with impressive specifications, design and the like. No problems and no complaints to date since I received it back in December 08. Easy set-up, easy connection to my surround sound system, love the picture quality and features. The delay and sound when you turn on the TV does not bother me in the least. Again, another great deal on Amazon.
BTW…I’m a C.P.M. Certified Purchasing Manager by profession and always shop for the best deal. This was it! My only issues…now I’m watching way too much TV & movies.
5 Stars Love it!
I’m very happy with my purchase, and I love the fact that it “chirps” as it turns on and off. That way I can tell if the power is still on or not. Since it’s connected to cable, sometimes it’s difficult to tell.
Picture and sound are good. However, I dislike the remote (as others had stated). It seems to be upside down. But I just programmed my cable remote to accommodate the TV and I was good to go.
