Strengths: Great HD picture, easy setup, 120 Hz refresh rate
Weakness: Poor SD picture. If you connect the power plug to your cable box so that it is turns on simultaneously, the clock will lose the time.
I was planning on getting an XBR5, but I'm glad the salesman told me this 2008 W-series is actually better (2008 53" XBRs aren't out yet). The contrast ratio is 30,000:1 versus the XBR5's 18,000:1. Setup was a piece of cake. Basically you plug it in and go through a quick onscreen setup that takes about a minute. You'd think for the price you pay for the TV, you would get something more than a...
Strengths: Great picture, 1080p, lots of inputs, no smearing
Weakness: Auto-dimming, ghosting w/o motionflow on
I like this TV overall and it looks great with HD sources. During dark scenes, sometimes there's a noticeable dimming of the backlight. It still looks good, but it might bother some people. The motionflow can look good for certain sources like sports. If you have it on during movies, it can create an unnatural feel that's been likened to soap operas. I like it at times, but I think I would have...
Strengths: The best non-XBR picture I have seen from Sony, Motion Flow makes a difference
Weakness: A little pricey, not a fan of the style of the bezel
I've been shopping around for a 50"+ LCD for a while now, and came across this beauty. The picture pops, especially when watching a Blu Ray on my PS3. The sound is crisp, annd overall, I'm extremely pleased with my purchase. I just wish it were a little cheaper, tho.
Strengths: The picture is very good, love the 120 Hz refresh rate. Made watching the NBA Playoffs fantastic, no ghosting or blurring of the imagine quality. The colors are vibrant and bright.
Weakness: The remote is a little week, would be nice if it were universal and had the capability of back light. Not a big deal for I use the one from the cable company that controls my cable box DVR and have pr
Received this LCD about 5 days ago, so far my family and I are very happy with the set. Of course I love watching the NBA Playoffs. I had a 52 inch Sharp but within about a month I returned the Sharp for the imagine had ghosting and if you watched closely you noticed a blurring of the imagine quality. Of course with this set I have not seen any of the imagine quality breakdowns as seen on the...
Strengths: This television has so many strengths: clarity of picture, excellent sound quality, no motion artifacts, beautiful color, huge size, solid and stable, easy to set up, easy to use with other components
Weakness: The only weakness is the shiny frame that is distracting because of the reflection of lights.
Wow!!! We are so happy with our new television. We re-arranged the room it is in, and when we are sitting back in our recliners looking up at the screen, we feel like we are in our own movie theater. The awesome clarity makes the HD movies look like they are in 3-D. Our last three televisions have been by Sony. They last forever and are trouble-free. We've had this one for a little over two...
Strengths: Everything we thought it would be! Great picture, easy to install and program the many options in the menu.
Weakness: The main thing I do not like is the shiny black frame, but I preferred this one to the larger clear acrylic embellishment on the XBR model. Bold Logo on front.
We chose this TV based on price (lower than the XBR) and other recommendations we found in the consumer and professional reviews of the Bravia W series sets. It has supposedly improved "motion flow" technology over the earlier W models. Hard to tell what that really means. I did not like the change in the frame from the matte grey finish in the ones we saw in local stores to the current product...
Strengths: easy setup, great viewing
Weakness: cannot use universal remote for all options
We've owned our Bravia KDL52W4100 for 3 months. We couldn't be happier. Even the channels that aren't in HD look fairly good with the motion flow ability of the set. So far it has tolerated some minor touching/curiosity of our three year-old son. The screen cleans easily with a micro fiber rag. We bought the set, brought it home, and set it up independently. We did not even have to use the...
Strengths: 1. Awesome picture quality for Blue-ray movies. 2. Great picture for OTA (over the air) HD signals. 3. A lot of cable interfaces (HDMI, component, S-video, composite).
Weakness: 1. The bottom has a big transparent hole, which is annoying. 2. The picture quality is not so good with SD channels. 3. The screen is not anti-reflections.
Bought the tv last week and received it yesterday, so I have been busy with setting it up and testing with different input sources. I have read a lot of reviwes on amazon and checked out a lot of models in bestbuy, circuitcity, finally I chose this Sony model. The blue-ray movies look awesome, the best picture you can see now. I really like the built-in OTA tuner, so I can just hook up a HDTV...
Strengths: Great picture, color and jutter free view
Weakness: Price, hole on buttom of frame, other wise nothing
I've looked far and wide for a TV like this at the price I received it. Couldn't be better, beats Costco KDL 52135 by several hundred dollars. Recommend this product for anyone looking for 120Hz refresh rate and great features. Could be cheaper but then why not just buy a Toshiba.

Sony 52" KDL-52W4100 lcd
Strengths: very good picture and sound...3-d interface is very user friendly. on-screen program guide also a plus
Weakness: remote control has no backlight
i've had the tv for about 3 months. all in all, i'm pretty satisfied with it. at first, i had wished that i had waited for the new xbrs. after a while, considering price and performance this tv had great value providing both great picture and sound when compared to the xbr. this tv doesnt provide the deep contrast that the TOC samsungs. i prefer this tv's semi-matted screen because the glare on...
