Reports of the demise of Sony HDTV are highly exaggerated! July 29, 2008

I've just spent an hour comparing this new, "budget"-priced Sony to a number of pricier sets which, if Amazon sales are any indicator, are currently killing Sony in sales. Not only did the Sony's picture compare favorably (to put it politely) with more expensive Samsung models, but it looked as good as its own pricier siblings in the V, W, Z, and XBR series.
You could be forgiven for assuming Sony is out of the business of making HD TVs if you looked at the 50 best-selling sets on Amazon (there's no more than 2-3 Sony's listed, with Samsung occupying approximately 40 of the spots). But such a conclusion would be highly premature and terribly mistaken. According to mid-year sales figures, Sony is still edging out Samsung in North American sales and is closing in on the Korean manufacturer in world-wide sales, with a goal of pulling ahead by 2010. In fact, the company's development of revolutionary OED (Organic Electro-Luminescence) technology is currently the talk of the industry.
Sony admittedly has been late to the market with some of its products and, moreover, has done a lousy job of making consumers aware of meaningful differences in its admittedly confusing product line (a new 40" hi-def set can be purchased in no fewer than six Sony models and at widely varying prices). It's nice to have choices, but not if the consumer can't be informed in clear, layman's terms exactly what they are. In the meantime, you can be assured of Sony value and reliability with the KDL 40S4100, currently being offered at the lowest retail price-point ever for a 40" 1080p LCD HDTV by the redoubtable media giant.
Cableless man meets HD world July 29, 2008

I consider my self pretty low tech and wanted to leave my review for people who may be in the same boat as I am. I wanted a larger TV and I wanted simplicity, quality and not to wonder if it was all a waste.
Well I am super satisified with this TV for the following reasons.
1. Easy to set up. I don't have cable and it just scanned for all the HD and analog stations and that was pretty much about it.
2. Great sound. I don't have a stereo system to hook up to and so it was important that the TV's speakers could, well, speak for themselves. They are very good.
3. Picture is super and seems to adjust itself to suit whatever type of input (HD, Analog, DVD, Video) is coming in. People Don't look short and squat. Everything looks great, and full size and I don't have to do any adjusting when I change a channel.
Note: I will say that using a standard video tape produces an okay picture, but I assume this is the same for every TV. When I play DVD using my computer and connect to TV with HDMI cable, picture is excellent. So just using the antenna cable is not good enough with my current DVD player. I will likely update it or just play it through my computer.
Also, as other reviews say, set up (base mount) was easy. Slide it on base and tighten four screws.
Anyway, I'm sure I'm missing 75% of the features of this baby, but for the "simple cave man HD TV Guy" I am completely satisfied.
Also, TV doesn't make any buzzing or humming noises (hey, that stuff bugs me so I thought I'd add it).
Good luck with your purchase.

I've been waiting my whole life for this baby! I love it. It's a clean, elegant design which will now become a centerpiece to my livingroom. And I don't even watch TV!
Well Worth The Money - But is it worth the wait for Delivery? July 17, 2008

I am familiar with this TV as I just set one up at a friend's house. Great picture, great quailty overall, and a very nice look.
Multiple inputs making it easy to connect all your gear - a real "Run whatya brung" TV as it has 3 HDMI inputs Multiple PC and Component Inputs and it even supports the old S-Video and RCA connections.
The menus are very basic and it lacks some of the advanced tuning that I am used to on my Sony 60 inch, but the picture quality is excellent and most users will find the menu of options more than sufficient. As someone else said everything is menu driven from the remote, with very few one touch functions.
I purchased this on the Amamzon 36 month Interest Free Deal. Cant beat 33 bucks a month.
Now the BAD - its delivering by CEVA who has no idea where my TV is? The last tracking scan was Newark NJ on Sunday - 22 miles away from my house... well today is Thursday - Hello? Anyone out there? I thought they would call me by now and when I call them - they thought it was picked up already? Picked up? Huh?
Great Price, Great TV but Amazon needs to find a better Delivery service CEVA is horrible. If I had read the message boards about CEVA formelery EAGLE freight I would have never purchased this TV at Amazon. I hope I finally get my TV.
