Sony KDL52V4100 Review | from Jose

Summary: Highest resolution HDTV available, great bargain, great features with few weaknesses

Pros: 1080p resolution, BRAVIA engine, smooth movements even without 120hz, great contrast and black contrast performance, gorgeous bezel and exterior

Cons: sound is a little weak, 52 inches may be too big for some people if not sitting far away from unit consider 46″ as viewing distance make big difference

Review of Sony V-Series KDL52V4100 by Jose Nieto:

Tired of my old tvs uncanny ability to “down convert” HD channels and movies into a format my tv could handle (which usually stretched or distorted the viewing experience), I decided to buy an HDTV. I wanted the best possible, one where I wouldn’t have to settle on quality for size, but I also wanted the big size too and thats what ultimately led me to the 52″ Sony Bravia KDL52V4100 LCD television. Convinced I would be forced to use several chunks of my paycheck, I went online and shopped around and in the mean time read many reviews of Sonys KDL52V4100 and the V series to make sure it was ranked favourably, but I knew I struck gold when I found the Sony Bravia V-Series KDL-52V4100. It incorporates all the latest in HDTV technologies minus a few of the unneeded ones to keep the price very nice and low, into a beautiful and large 52 inch screen which handles lighting and glare exceptionally… which just augments the entire viewing experience on Sony’s KDL52V4100 V-Series LCD HDTV. The BRAVIA engine and other technologies allowed me to watch all my movies and shows in full 1080p, and coupled with the deep accurate blacks, strong contrast and great natural looking image processing, the image quality blows me away daily.. NOTE: Sound is not this units strong point as I always turn on my sound system as leaving it off pains me to hear the difference of the normal KDL-52V4100 sound quality.. I was prepared for this however after reading other sony bravia kdl52v4100 reviews and reports about the sound quality and didn’t let it deter me from the steal of a deal as I already had the onyko home theater setup to go with it.

Overall Rating: 9 / 10

Picture Quality: 10 / 10

Audio Quality: 7 / 10

Other Features: 9 / 10

Price / Value: 10 / 10

Buy Again or choose another: definite buy again, maybe KDL46V4100 if sitting closer however, as size didn’t matter as much as i thought, and was an ego thing for me I guess.
