“Excellent LCD with overall ease of use” sony kdl52w4100 By M. Moreno “IpodL”

I bought this TV in June 2008 and have found it to be an absolutely great buy. I bought my at RC Willey. Yes, I read the CNET review and the reviewer marked down the TV because of the dark shades changing. I looked at this in the store for several minutes and have lived with it for a month and have not noticed that problem at ALL! Personally I think they guy shot down the SONY because Samsung is running TV advertisements on CNET. This is a super sharp TV with excellent colors and deep deep blacks. This TV is much better than the old 2007 W. Here is why I bought this TV…It is super clear in digital broadcast and does a much better job in…

“Very good HDTV with incredible details” kdl52w4100 By H. Tong “diverhank”

My first impression after I first turned it on was WOW! The picture is so beautiful and bright so you can watch easily during the day. You can set the option for the TV to auto-adjust using ambient light which works very well. Watching previously seen DVDs via the this TV is like watching brand new movies…this I compared against watching on a 1080i 37″ non-Sony HDTV that …

“Beautiful” kdl52w4100 TV By Matt_Foley

I’ve had the tv for about two weeks now and it has been great. The HD picture is amazing of course, my SD programs look great and Blu-ray movies are virtually flawless. I moved up from a 42″ Plasma, which has been a great tv. The LCD is definitely brighter in my very open living room. I chose this over the Samsung 52″ 650 model. While the Samsung has a slightly brighter screen and Consumer Reports loves the tv, it’s very…

“Great investment” kdl52w4100 LCD By Dr Watson

I have had this TV for 2 months now and could not be happier. This set produces excellent picture quality, amazing black levels and vibrant colors. The new Bravia Engine 2 also improves with 120Hz motion processing from Sony XBR4 line. My TV is located in a well lit room so the semi-matte display was a must. This TV delivers many useful settings to let you have the full freedom of making this TV truly yours. The PQ on 1080p material such as blu-ray movies or games is phenomenal. Broadcasted 1080i/720p HD sources look…

“Great TV” kdl52w4100 HDTV By Chas “ctchas”

Obviously you’ve gotta shop and compare various manufacturers to formulate your own opinion. I did that, went to various stores and compared side by side. I feel this Sony, if not the best, then certainly should rank up there with the best. The picture (HD) is near perfect. The non-glare screen works out very nice since it’s in a brightly lit room. The on-screen menus are easy to use and when you pair it up to other Sony equipment (say a A/V receiver and Blueray DVD) the controls are flawless. Amazons price guarantee worked very well too. I received…
