 "no complaints about the picture, but . . ." 2009-11-29
By Caraculiambro (La Mancha and environs)
Two things you need to know about having a Samsung LCD, of any of the kinds and sizes they make:



1. They'll work perfectly fine if you attach a computer as one of the components: no residual fuzziness or unwanted screen crop, although you'd better have a state-of-the art video card on your computer for this to render the crisp picture you're dreaming of. The one that comes with your garden-variety laptop will never do. I use one of these for my computer at work (40 inches: I'm insane), and another, slightly smaller one for my home computer. They work EXTREMELY well for this purpose, which is why I have three of them total: I'm too leery to switch brands. For example, the TV, when you use it as a computer monitor, has enough brains to shut down when your computer goes to sleep, and then to fire back up again when your computer wakes up -- all without your having to touch the monitor at all!



2. This TV can evidently do a lot. Tragically, this will require you to get educated about the latest cables and connectors. For example, I am wont to connect all my devices (Playstations, cable connections, VHS players, DVD players, Blue-ray players, satellite links, etc.) with red-white-yellow connectors, or, preferably, red-white-red-green-blue connectors. As for the latter, this only has two rows available, plus an extra red-white-yellow on the TV's left side (facing the screen). However, it has an array of other adapters (such as HDMI adapters) that I'm still learning about. (These basically look like jumbo-sized USB cables, but can carry high definition sound and audio together in one cable). If you're unclear on the in's and out's of this stuff, read the exchange in the comments below, which I found helpful. I have never, for example, learned how to get the monitor's on-board speakers to route the sound the computer's putting out.



Credentials: I have three of these, different sizes.

 "Excellent screen with a few quirks" 2009-11-28
By Glenn Basden (Elk Grove, CA)
I'm absolutely thrilled with this set. I've had a chance to watch some high definition shows from my Dish receiver, as well as a few Blu-ray movies, and the picture on the set is just stunning. The black levels are extremely good for a non-LED LCD screen, and colors are vivid and bright.



The DLNA aspect works quite well, but the software has a few issues. For one, you *must* authorize the TV in the software or the TV will display an error message when attempting to access any content. Secondly, I have had to reboot my computer a few times when adding new content to the Share Manager software before the TV would access it again. However, once you get it working, it works very well. It was able to stream content from my PC in about every common format with only a few seconds wait time.



I would absolutely purchase this set again with no hesitation.

 "Amazing monitor." 2009-11-27
By G. Meyers (Washington, DC United States)
Of all the monitors I've ever owned this one stands out as the best of the best. In fact movies shot digitally almost seem to look like soap opera mainly because you don't have that organic film breathing. I would almost give this a poor review because every detail and every flaw is noticeable. But it is a joy to turn this thing on, hooked up to a Dolby Digital 7.1 Blu-ray player and watch the magic. I highly recommend this unit and wish I had the bucks for one of their larger screens.

 "Poor Mount design; Horrid Technical Support" 2009-11-27
By David A. Rapetti (Nashville, TN)
This TV arrived with the bottom of the box falling out. The clips that hold that box in place had come loose on one side. The Television didn't appear to be damaged, so I accepted it.

This particular TV ships without the stand/mount attached. My prior Samsung Plasma was already attached and ready to go, but not this one. I connected the mount to the TV (very gently I might add). I noticed that the TV leaned forward. I tried to adjust the lean by tightening the screws, but they didn't really "bite" properly.

I was able to lessen the amount it leaned forward, but not correct it.

I contacted Samsung Customer/Technical support. They said that I needed to tighten the screws, and that was the problem. I proceeded to do as they instructed, but I couldn't correct the issue. I called Technical/Customer support a second time, and explained the problem. They said that the issue was considered abuse and that I had now voided my television's warranty. Not just for the mounting issue, but the entire warranty.

I explained that the television arrived in a damaged box and that I was extremely careful and had followed their instructions. None of this mattered. The mount is a poor design, and is made out of plastic. They said that I should purchase a wall mount for the TV. This was completely unacceptable. I don't want it wall mounted, and it was damaged upon arrival. They refused to help me in anyway and wouldn't correct the problem.

I informed them that if I had to I would initiate a credit card chargeback, and they said that I should go ahead.

I contacted Amazon Customer Support. They were wonderful. They took care of the problem immediately, and said they would contact Samsung about their lack of support.

They credited my money back and shipped me out a new Samsung LED tv. It arrived w/o any problems and was already attached to the stand/mount.

I would be very leery of this TV, unless I was wall mounting it. Perhaps the mount was damaged upon arrival, but I would still be cautious as it's made of plastic. There's a lot of weight to support and the bracket is hollow.

 "The BEST" 2009-11-22
By W. Denney (AL)
These speakers are all one could ask for. They are quite clear and noise free with PLENTY of volume. I attached the transmitter to the TV in my bedroom and placed the speakers on my bedside tables. This allowed me to clearly hear the television without blaring volume from the set. I STRONGLY recommend this product.

 "Best for the money" 2009-11-21
By Gail Brewster (East Moline, IL)
These are the second set of these speakers that I have purchased. My first set was for personal use and we set them up on our porch for the entire summer. They worked beautifully, good quality sound for such inexpensive speakers, volume is more than adequate (we worked in the backyard putting in new garden edging and it was great). I bought the second set for school and the teachers love them! I read some of the reviews and some of the people didn't like the fact that you have to manually turn them on but that is of no concern to us. I wish there was a way to purchase another transmitter because I only need to send out one speaker for our school use.

 "Great wireless speaker" 2009-11-13

 "A series of disappointments" 2009-11-05
By Christopher D. Brown (Austin, TX USA)
Just a note ...

Switching between battery and powered requires that batteries be removed.

The transmitter turns itself off during quiet sections of music.

Power off returns the volume of full off requiring that you set the volume again.

Susceptible to interference.

In explicable audio drop outs (in addition to interference problems).

 "Some Illogic in Actual Application" 2009-11-28
By Dr. Debra Jan Bibel (Oakland, CA USA)
This smaller diameter set is often, as in my case, placed in a bedroom, where you would like the option to use headphones to as not to disturb your neighbors or mate. There is NO headphone jack. Samsung took it out also for this size unit, and Panasonic lacks even RCA audio jacks. With some Radio Shack fittings, I was able to rig up my headphones to the RCA audio jacks that are there for connection to a stereo receiver, but since this audio out lacks an amplifier, the headphone volume is fairly low. This complaint aside, the Sony 26 inch LCD set is very fine, easy to set up, with simple menus and remote buttons. I even was able to connect my backup recording VCR (via a separate antenna and converter box), knowing of course that the quality would be poor. My living room has as large Panasonic plasma HDTV and DVD recorder that uses DVD-ROM disks. Thus, for its particular purpose the Sony Bravia set is a good and probably dependable choice.

 "Looks and sounds really good to me...." 2009-11-27
By MayB (Chapel Hill, NC)
This is, without hesitation, the best TV I have ever had. Soooo easy to set up....it seemed to have set itself up. Picture is clear as anything, and I don't even have high definition yet!! Sound is good..don't find that there is any distortion nor muffling. The only possible drawbacks are with the "new" technology per se, which is common to ALL TV's: 1- Sound volume will vary from channel to channel, and sometimes even from program to commercial, so one has to constantly be prepared to adjust accordingly. This did not happen with my old set, as there was some way that sound could be regulated to be consistent, so there is no "improvement" on that score. and 2- Again, "new technology" is with the picture size variations one sometimes need to play with in order to achieve a comfortable viewing format. However, as I mentioned before, these changes have nothing to do with the actual Bravia TV, but with the technology employed.

All in all, an excellent choice if you are in the market for a new TV. Sony (Bravia) is the one!

 "Great Length and Quality, but at the fraction of the cost!" 2009-08-29
By K. Young (California, USA)
I have been looking for an HDMI cable that would give me the performance I needed, and the length I needed without breaking the bank. This cable is thick, high quality, and meets all the same specs as any expensive 1.3 Certified HDMI has, and it will give you the same performance.



My father paid 60 dollars for a shorter Monster Cable, I paid 1/12 of the price and still got the same high quality image and noise protection that he did. The only difference was that my cable didn't have the monster sticker on the connectors.



I have used and tested this cable on my PS3, and Laptop leading out to various LCD and Plasma HDTV displays, and I have seen no difference in quality from my father's monster cable.



If you are looking for quality and performance without the brand name and price, then this cable is the answer to your problems.

 "Awesome cables- Great quality" 2009-08-25
By Marko Franjic
I had purchased this cable months ago to hook up my laptop to my Samsung 40' 1080p. I read all the reviews, did my research and was not surprised when I got these cables, PERFECT picture and sound. Never even considered wasting 100 $ or more on monster cables and this cable just re-ensured my thoughts on how those cables are truly a ripoff. All my friends were so surprised with how great it looked they asked me to order some for them. They too are just as happy as I am and I'm SURE you will be too.

 "Great LCD TV" 2009-11-08
By Nutman (Ohio United States)
I've had this Sony LCD for about 4 months. I bought it for the bedroom. The sound is really good. Once you adjust all the settings it has a great picture. In the one review the person said

the picture on this Sony was the worst. When I looked at the screen at bestbuy the picture was bad compared to another LCD it was next to. I then opened the settings menu and adjusted the settings then the picture looked great. Just as good as the other LCD. So when in a store don't always judge the picture by what they have the settings at. Just get into the menu settings and change them. What I really like about this set is HD looks great and SD also looks really good.

 "Indeed, Sony is NOT what it used to be." 2009-11-07
By D. Simms
We returned this item to Sams several months ago.

Very poor everything, in our opinion and we had problems with poor sound.

We've had about 6 Sony products over the years, including: tv's, stereos,

and clock radios. The only products we've been totally happy with are the

2 clock radios! Another frustration is Sony's policy of returns, which is

poor. They also have a lot of products with proprietary issues, which means

you can't buy anything off the shelf for it. We don't buy Sony products

anymore. Sorry for the lack of all the details here, but I'm typing with a

sprained wrist, and I forgot most of the details anyway! I'll check with

the wife and ewrite more later.

 "Great TV for PC monitor and television viewing" 2009-10-28
By Harry Hussey (Boston, MA)
We have had this for about 2 weeks and are very happy with it. It was very easy to set up. Our cable package only has broadcast stations but with this we seem to be able to get the digital versions of a whole lot of basic cable channels. Unfortunately, there's still nothing on them except reality shows and procedurals reruns, so it just confirmed for us the uselessness of cable TV.



I hooked up my Mac Mini with a DVI to HDMI cable and got a Microsoft Wireless keyboard and mouse for it. It works very well as a PC monitor and we are able to watch Netflix Watch Instantly movies, YouTube videos and TV shows from Hulu or the networks' sites. We are using Boxee.tv as an interface and that works well. Next up, get an eyeTV so we can use the thing as a DVR.



This is working out exactly as I had hoped and I strongly recommend this TV. We checked out the different brands at comparable price points ($400-$500) and only this one and the Samsung really floated our boat. The picture is almost too clear. I mean, how many acne scars do you really want to see? It has a very usable favorites function which allows you to save your channels. It also interfaces with our Sony Home Theater system with an HDMI cable so we can control the whole system with one remote. Actually I can use the Home Theater remote and my wife can use the TV remote and we can have remote wars.



It has a Picture in Picture function so you can watch TV while you're working on your PC. One complaint is that in order to go back to full TV you have to go through more key presses than I would have liked. The only other complaint is that it takes a few seconds to tune in each channel.



We now have a very useable media center in our living room which gives us complete access to all the wonderful entertainment out there on the interwebs!

 "be careful before buying - the 32L4000 model crashed" 2009-10-02
By R. Michael Green (Cloudland, GA USA)
I purchased a 32" Sony KDL-32L4000 model through an Amazon retail partner, ABT of Chicago. It arrived quickly and worked beautifully for 13 months. Then, the picture went haywire, with shimmering , curtain like things covering the screen. I have seen this condition described in other reviews of this product.

Sony live chat worked with me and concluded there was a major failure somewhere in the system. They recommended a service center 140 miles from my home. I took the set to two electronics shops in the city near me and both of them said it was not worth fixing. Mother boards at $200.00 + each would need to be replaced and even then no guarantee of reliable performance. I donated it to a recycling center. Of course it was one month out of warranty.



At the suggestion of the repair shops, I went to Wal Mart and bought a Vizio model listed as a "best buy" by Consumer Reports for $440.00. So far it is beautiful.

I have been a Sony loyalist for years, but no more. A $700.00 TV gone in a year.

This problem may have been fixed in newer models such as the KDL-32L5000. Just a word to the wise about my experience.

 "Sony KDL46V5100 46" LCD TV" 2009-11-24
By Bobby J. Richards (Oklahoma City)
I purchased this TV direct from Sony under a promotion that included a Sony Blu-ray DVD player. Total with tax was just over $1200.00 It all arrived in less than a week which was a pleasant surprise. It took more time to get into the box than it did to set up the system. It works perfectly with my Dish Network HD receiver and a 27 year old Channel Master attic antenna. I could not be more pleased with the picture I get. This set replaced a 42" Plasma TV that was three years old. It was moved to another room because it is still in perfect working condition. The Sony KDL46V5100 does have some features that are less than perfect. I expected that when I bought it. Overall, the set is more than adequate. I have read some reviews on this TV that makes it sound like a problem child. Anything is a problem if it does not work right. We still have lemons in all products we purchase. Some of us get the good ones and some of us get the lemons. And if it comes out of China, it is very lemon prone because of their lack of quality comtrol...maybe I should say their non-existant quality control.



I have found no problems with this set and it has a beautiful picture. The sound quality could be better but it is adequate. Connection to a home theater system requires one with a volume control because the audio output is a fixed level...no big deal. The power cord is permanatly attached to the set unlike most others that have a detachable cord. The inputs are located on the side and hiding the cables is a little difficult. Better design could have helped this minor inconvenience. The unit has four HDMI inputs which is a definite plus, but don't expect to get an HDMI cable with the set. You have to buy your own...and they ain't cheap. A six foot gold Phillips is $34.00 at Walmart. Overall, this set is well worth the money we paid for it and the Blu-ray Disc player. If you are looking for a good buy, I highly recommend the KDL46V5100. If I have problems, you can bet I'll be back here adding them to this review.

 "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly" 2009-11-23
By SammySosa21 (san lorenzo, ca USA)
I'll start off with the good stuff with this TV, excellent sound and great picture (except for really high motion which i'll get to later). The sound on this TV exceeded my expectations by a large margin as the sound quality is really crisp and clear. Sony got the sound on this TV right, and i don't think it could get better from just having a standalone TV set. One note: My cablebox makes a poping sound when switching channels - Sony has noted that this is a problem from the cablebox on their website.



The picture is really great once you get the correct settings put in as well (do a google search for best settings). Only use HDMI cables unless your cable box or other device doesn't have an HDMI port for the best picture. One thing you will notice if this is your first dip into HDTV waters is that not all HDTV broadcasts are going to be in true HD quality. Some stations stretch the picture which looks terrible. It's not the Tv's fault however, it's the stations that are broadcasting. Some are good, some are bad, and some are just plain ugly.



Where i knock this down 1 star is for fast motion. Sorry Nascar fans, im talking fast zoomed in motion - mostly football. Most sights that tell you how to calibrate your TV will tell you to turn the "Motionflow" portion of your settings off. I tried it and can say for me personally i can't watch the TV like that because the motion isn't smooth. If i put "Motionflow" on standard it looks better but i wish there was a setting between off and standard, like low for example. Getting back to my point though, i do not recommend this TV for viewing spaces UNDER 10 feet. Pixelazation starts to show up alot at the under 10 feet distance - especially in fast camera moments like football. Over 10 feet in your viewing area and i would probably give this TV 5 stars and not 4. Putting "Motionflow" on standard helps, but it doesn't cure it, and the level above standard is just silly because everything looks really fake. Would a TV at 240hz do a better job of making the motion blur go away? It may, but from what i have been reading on the internet the motion blur is from the TV stations broadcast itself. I don't have a 240hz TV right now (they are a little too expensive) to compare, but i have a feeling that you would still have some of the motion blur. Im just not sure at this point if the motion blur comes from the TV itself or from the HD broadcasts, it's there nonetheless even with HDMI cables and thats why i knock it down to 4 stars.



As a side note i want to add that you should get a Blu-ray player if you like to watch movies. Most DVD's i own (around 500) look pretty bad on the new HDTV set's. Even with upconverting, the quality does not hold. Can you watch it - yes. Does it look good - sometimes depending on the encoding. Does it look great - no, only blu-ray will look great from now on if you purchase any HDTV set. It sucks, but it's the truth.

My brother-in-law, who has been into home theater etc. for 20 + years, told me that Sony is the best in electronics. So I have had a Sony DVD player and a Sony Surround Sound unit for many years. But I had always purchased another brand TV. Well, we finally elected to get rid of our old "entertainment center" furniture because we were the last people we knew who didn't have a wide-screen HDTV. I shopped at Best Buy and nearly bought a Toshiba, but I felt like they were jacking me around over $50, so I walked away. When I got on Amazon, I found the Bravias priced just a little more than the other brands. So I read all the reviews and bought the Sony Bravia. No regrets! Now, I have the best TV picture of all our friends! The TV setup was a breeze. I would recommend you shop online for your HDMI cable(s). I found cables for $4, whereas the retail stores like Best Buy have them starting at $39. Don't be ripped off on these cables. As far as I know, they all work and deliver 1080. But be sure to order them about the time you order your TV, because you will want that HD picture as soon as you get this TV.

After bringing this unit home, I now have true HD at an affordable price.

The motion control that is configurable for each input is excellent.

I have dish network HD and I let my Sony do the decoding of the video and sound and get the best results.
