For consumers who want an HDTV that keeps pace with fast-action movies, sports, and game play, Sony BRAVIA V-Series Flat Panel HDTVs combine Full HD 1080p performance and Motionflow 120Hz technology for an amazing viewing experience. Motionflow 120Hz takes both high-definition and standard programming a step further by increasing sharpness and detail in fast-moving images for more fluid, natural motion. In addition, BRAVIA V-Series HDTVs use proprietary Image Blur Reduction technology to further enhance the picture for even better performance. The HDTVs also feature BRAVIA Engine 2 technology, which uses exclusive Sony algorithms to reduce visual noise and sharpen and enhance an already-striking dynamic contrast ratio. Additionally, they include seven versatile HD connections to ensure you get impressive image quality from all your HD components. Take advantage of four HDMI inputs, component and composite inputs, and a PC input, as well as a USB input that lets you play audio files from USB storage devices, or connect a compatible camera to your HDTV for a quick and easy slide show. Sony knows your home theater set-up doesn't stop with your HDTV, which is why the BRAVIA V-Series HDTVs are compatible with BRAVIA Link Modules -- including the BRAVIA Wireless Link, BRAVIA DVD Link, and BRAVIA Input Link Modules (all sold separately). The HDTVs also support BRAVIA SyncTM technology so you can control all of your compatible devices with a single remote. And all BRAVIA HDTVs exceed ENERGY STAR 3.0 requirements for in-use and stand-by power consumption, meaning you don't need a lot of power to get a lot of performance.

 "Great TV" 2009-11-20
By John Palazzo (CT)
I was pleased with everything associated with this purchase. I saved money buying it through Amazon. Shipping was included and the delivery company brought it in, unpacked it and placed in on the TV stand. The only thing to note is they could not plug it in becuase the temperature in the delivery truck was under 50 degrees. So I had to wait an hour before I could try it to be sure it worked. It did and I am loving it. If your going from a smaller tube TV to this one with HD for the 1st time it is impressive. Without HD it looks a bit grainy.

 "So far so good.." 2009-11-04
By Brent Andrews (Marabella, N/A Trinidad)
Well I've had this TV for approx 3 weeks and I love it so far & delivers as promised. I mostly use it for gaming on my 360 (which looks great on this set) and watching movies via HDMI on my laptop. I can't wait to get my PS3 and play it on this..



I can't comment much on the sound since I output sound to my Logitech 5.1 speakers for the required "omph" needed. I tested the internal speakers once and it's decent but the lack of bass could be an issue.



The motion flow was great at first but I ended turning it off since it tended to detract from the movie for e.g I was watching "Public Enemies" recently in high def with motion flow on and it looked insanely beautiful but after an hour I was more gawking the movie environment rather that enjoying the video. IMHO motion flow is best suited when watching porn at 1080p and Courtney Cummz & Phoenix Marie has never looked better, I could never go back to standard def after seeing that....



Overall excellent product & highly recommended, The only gripe I have is with Amazon's Yo-yo pricing model,I bought this at $1414 only to look a couple of weeks later and it dropped to $1249 and back up to $1500 etc.....

 "If it could only last longer than..." 2009-10-16
By Kiran Vudathala (Lake Mary, FL)
2 weeks. We purchased this TV from Amazon and have had it replaced twice due to a couple of issues:

- 1st Delivery - Horizontal lines showing up and sound was going out

- 2nd Delivery - HDMI inputs are failing to pick up a signal. Screen is turning a pink hue. Sound is going out intermittently.



I have purchased many Sony products like TVs, Camera, Computer, and DVD players so I have faith in the brand. I just don't have any faith in this particular model.



We are very frustrated to not have a properly functioning TV after 2 months and paying over $1550.

 "Totally Happy" 2009-10-15
By J. Cibak (Florida)
Have had the TV now for about 3 weeks and couldn't be happier. Picture resolution in awesome. Sound is actually really good because Sony has a speaker bar type speakers across the bottom of the TV so the sound actually comes out at you instead of being aimed down and bouncing off the stand like some other brands.



The 120hz motion takes some getting used to after upgrading from 60hz. Otherwise I highly recommend this TV even if it is considered an entry level TV, you'll never even know otherwise.

I did a lot of research before purchasing this TV. It's one of the best one out there for the price. The picture is great and has a lot of features. It's 120 HZ which good for watching sports. The sound quality is JUST OKAY -I recommend attaching a sound system to the tv or (just a couple of mini BOSS speakers which u can get for less than $100.)

I love the TV...its perfect in every which way...I spent almost a month and a half trying to find the best tv (Sony), for the best price, with the best features...and i have to tell u that it doesn't get any better than this...(at least until the prices drop)...I mean, I looked into LED, Samsung, etc., "A step towards the future", but I simply don't want to spend that much money "in the present"...basically, u wouldn't be making a mistake buying this tv...I can provide u with the pros and cons, but we can say that for any tv in the market, in fact, pros and cons are what keep the demand high...Buy it..

 "My experience of purchasing a Sony KDL40XBR9 on Amazon" 2009-11-21
By A. schwartz (Woodland Hills, CA USA)
Prior to making my purchase of a Sony KDL40XBR9 on Amazon, I checked out all the internet prices from other sellers on the internet. I found Amazon's price, which included no tax and free shipping, to be the best value! Both the shipment and quality of this TV lived up to my expectations. The TV was shipped by R & L Carriers and arrived on the day specified. The delivery person was very cooperative and helped me carry the TV, which was strapped vertically to a wooden pallet, into my home. He waited for my signature of receipt until I removed the TV from the cardboard container, plugged it in to the AC outlet and connected the RF cable. I wanted to make sure there was not any damage during shipment. Everything worked perfectly! Setting up the remote control was a breeze and I was watching all the channels that are available on Direct TV in a short amount of time. I highly recommend purchasing this TV from Amazon and having it shipped by R & L Carriers. I would do it all again!

 "Best value around" 2009-11-10
By S. Watson (Boston, MA)
I went through many days of researching consumer reports and other websites before picking this TV. I understand where some people have their issues with interface and the sound but I have a small condo (900 sq ft) in San Diego. Hooking it up to my over the air antenna I get 30 stations (digital ones are so clear they blow cable away!). The sound is perfectly fine for my room at 20 (*the tv goes up to 75...so it will be more than loud enough for a regular room). The picture quality is stunning.



The only downside I would warn someone is that I also have a bluray player and if you watch a great movie with lots of CGI special effects you will now be able to tell without any effort that it's CGI (computer generated images). Watching GI Joe was great fun but the special effects jumped out at you so much it was obvious. If you watch something like WallE you won't have that problem.



I don't think I can waste money going to a movie theater now since my at home experience will be so much superior thanks to this amazing TV. If you use the Amazon on demand of Netflix (coming soon they say) you'll need a 10mps download speed. I turned off the glowing SONY logo, which looks great as long as you're not watching a movie, without a problem (three clicks) and use the TV Guide service (free) and love it! I was considering the 120hz one and and so glad I spent the extra on the 240hz - you will too!

It's easy to get crazy trying to make a decision on the vast array of fine TV's on the market. I made the decision to go this XBR9 route and I am more than pleased with the outcome. The picture quality is great, the looks, the feel, and the build are all Sony. After spending mega hours researching TV's, what I found is that everyone has an opinion, and nothing out there has been labeled perfect, so save yourself some time and just buy quality. The are more features than most people will ever use, so don't get hung up and just sit back and watch a fine TV.

 "smallest premium 40 inch LCD" 2009-10-26
By Daniel J. Berry (san fran)
I was in the market for the largest LCD that would fit in the space, and with its slim bezel, I scored a home run here. The picture is great as one would expect from Sony and 240htz, and the value was definitely there. I waited until I was actually afraid they were running out, and I recommend no one else cut it close. I have not seen another slim bezel set 40 inches anywhere close the value proposition here. I dont expect it to go lower before they are all gone, replaced by another wider framed Bravia perhaps.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

HDTV Size chart
With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.
  • Minimum size = Viewing distance/3
  • Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

 "Another Great Sony Product" 2009-11-04
By JMT (Portland, OR)
This TV is well worth the money, great picture whether watching Comcast HD through the cable box, or over the air also. Has TV Guide channel built in, that's a plus. Gaming, it's again, a great picture and sound. Can't say I wouldn't buy this one in a heartbeat again. I have this Lcd HDTV hooked to a Motorola HD DVR a 3425 series from Comcast, a Sony surround sound system, and a PS3 for Blu Ray movies and gaming.

All around a good TV for a fair price I would say. Would have loved to get a LED TV, but they are going for $2,500 in this size, that's still a little steep for me.



Hope my review helped.

 "Great TV overall. Excellent PQ, sound a little lacking." 2009-11-03
By W. Gee
Got this TV for a week and overall very satisfied with purchase. PQ is excellent with many settings available. Calibration was found through forums. Watched several HD sporting events over the past weekend and didn't notice too much pixelations and blurring effects. 120Hz is definitely better than my year old Samsung 1080P 60Hz.



Widgets were cool and fun but only a nice to have, not a must. Probably should incorporate full website content, can only watch content available to the widget. Youtube is the only fully functional channel (exactly like website). Like I said, a cool thing to play with.



By comparison to other LCDs and Plasmas, I can say for sure that Panny plasma is still the best for PQ, natural coloration, least amount of pixelation and blurring. On the bad side of plasma, heavy and can only stand upright. My 2 year old 720P Panny still beats this set but I needed a lighter set to mount on the bedroom wall and just couldn't beat Amazon's price and package deal(included a Blu Ray Home Theater System).





Pros:



Excellent Picture Quality

Cool Widgets

Many changeable settings for fine tuning

120Hz



Cons:



Sound quality is a little muffled (speakers over & under chassis)



I haven't compared this to the XBR or Z (10-bit) panels, but those are substantially more and from an older generation XBR6 this panel (8-bit) is definitely better than that one.

The mount works fine for what I need it for. To extend the TV out of the opening, and get to the connections. But if you want to use it to move the TV position around, it is a little clunky. Also the gauge on the steel looks a little light to me, compared to some other mounts I've seen.

Hello I bought this product about 1 week ago. I have a 47" TV and i was a little worried about the weight of my tv. Let me say this, After i mounted the mount to the wall hiting two studs. I hung from it. I weigh 215lbs.. And the mount didnt budge. This is a great product. My dad has a omin mount and says that this mount looks better, and you can run the wires alot easier wth this rather than the omni mount. This is a great pruduct. And i would like to hank the other reviews, because thats what sold this item. Im getting a 55" for my back room. No doubt that this mount will do the job. Thank You very much. Sgt James Heinold

 "HRM-100 Solid and Sturdy" 2009-10-03
By B. Massey (TX United States)
I was a little apprehensive in buying this item on Amazon. I could only find one review on Amazon prior to my purchase. The main complaint of the review was regarding the distance between the wall studs and that fact that this distance was not being spelled out in the specs. However, the review did state that the HRM-100 was "....definitely sturdy." I couldn't agree more. The HRM-100 is sturdy as an ox. It is solid steel and built very well. I'm currently using it for a 32" HDTV. I plan to swap out my TV for a 47" and I have no concerns regarding the ability of the HRM-100 to support a larger TV. Most homes in the U.S. were built to spec with the studs that are 16 inches apart. So, this should be a non-issue for most buyers. After bolting the HRM-100 to the wall with four huge bolts, I was ready to watch TV. The install was great and directions were sufficient. I recommend this to anyone. I couldn't believe the price on Amazon compared to other articulating mounts. The HRM-100 was approx 1/2 to 1/3 the price of other options. But a lower price definitely did not mean lower quality. I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase.
