Customer Rating: Summary: Can't go wrong with XBR Comment: this is one of the best 40" 1080p out there. Can't go wrong with this price. the noise is not big deal at all. you watch TV with a volume on... right! love this T.V. 32xbr for my bed room and this one for living room... Customer Rating: Summary: Awesome Product! Comment: I did alot of research before I bought this television and it has the most amazing picture and color. I would recommend to anyone you won't be disappointed! Customer Rating: Summary: You Cant Go Wrong.... Comment: Like many, I trolled the reviews of this set for a while and deliberated between this and the Samsung. I settled on the Sony for a few reasons:
Anti Glare Coating
Picture Quality seemed a little more natural
Style of the set
Brand name
Most people have read the technical aspects of the set - it performs very well. I have it hooked up to Comcast HD and the picture quality is excellent. You do need to calibrate the set so search the internet and get better settings than out of the box - but overall you will be amazed with the PQ.
The only reason I didnt rate it 5 stars is there is still some motion artifacts with the set. I consider 5 stars a perfect viewing experience, and this set comes close, but there is still work to be done.
HD Cable looks great
SD cable looks so-so
Blu-rays look AMAZING
PS3/XBOX 360/Wii all look awesome
4/5 - would buy again. Customer Rating: Summary: Sony...no baloney Comment: This set is gorgeous, and I don't know why I waited so long to buy one.
The picture is truly unbelievable. The only negative was the set up, Maybe because my husband and I are over 50. If you are also, get someone to hook it all up for you. You will love it. Customer Rating: Summary: Sony Bravia XBR4 Comment: This is a very good buy. Easy to set-up and operate. Colors are great & images are extremely clear.
