First of all, I’ve done tons of researching before settled with this TV. The brands I’ve considered are Samsung, Toshiba, Mitsubishi and of course Sony. I’ll list the reasons why I end up choosing Sony.
1. Picture quality. This set has a jaw dropping HD picture quality, and its BE2 engine does an excellent job processing non-HD signals. The highly rated Samsung’s A650 also has excellent picture quality, but have to compromise with its reflective screen. Why deal with reflections when you can have a non-reflective screen with just as good pictures?
2. Sound quality, this is by far the best sounding LCD TV in the crowd I’ve been researching for. Most people own a theater sound system, so they think this is a non-issue. I own a theater sound system too, but I only turn it on when watching DVDs or play certain games. It is just not as convenient, and power efficient to have just a single TV running. So sound does matter.
3. TV Guide, nice touch, great for users without a cable box, none of other brands have this feature yet, except maybe Mitsubishi, but not nearly as nice.
4. PIP and P&P, this feature is available even in composite video and S-video, unlike Samsung, its PIP available only in PC, HDMI and Component inputs. Similar models from Toshiba and Mitsubishi don’t even have PIP.
5. Good Value. Sony 2008’s TV line up has significantly priced lower compare with its previous models. The V series represents the best value in its lineup. The S series is cheaper but lacking BE2 video processing, TV Guide, and P&P(Picture and Picture), just to name a few. Move up in the line up you get W series with 120Hz. 120Hz is really more of a hype than anything else. This set is already equipped with motion flow and 24P True Cinema, 120Hz make little to no difference. It does not seem to justify the extra $300+ premium. If you absolutely want this latest technology, go with the W or Z series.
With all the features you need, and excellent picture quality and sound, you can’t possibly go wrong with this Sony set.
I was interested in purchasing the S series 46 inch Sony Bravia, I finally located a store with a display so I could see it before I made my purchase. Thank God I did! This V series was next to the S series so I could do a side-by-side comparison. The V series had significantly better color depths and saturation and just all around better picture.
The store had an HD movie playing so I could see those differences, but the deciding factor came when the credits rolled up the screen. Every other HDTV on that wall, including Samsung, Sharp, and others had some ‘choppiness’ while the credits ran. This Sony 46 inch V series was the only one on that wall where the credits were completely smooth as they moved up the screen. That’s not to say there aren’t other televisions out there that have smooth scrolling, but most don’t.
If you’re considering buying the 46S4100, you should be sure to compare the picture to this 46V4100 in person before you do. It was definitely worth an extra few hundred bucks. And since I bought it on Amazon, even with shipping it was a few hundred bucks cheaper than I could have bought it at any electronics store.
It also has a lot of inputs, several in back and one of each type in the side for easy access. The sound is very decent for TV speakers. I hooked it up to my receiver to use the surround sound, as I’m sure most people will do. But if you have to use the TV speakers these really aren’t bad.
The included TV guide is fine for the network TV, but it will only show a few channels. In my case, it showed the first couple cable channels that are mixed in between network channels so it doesn’t even show CBS or FOX listings. Not a big deal since I use my Tivo and it shows the full programming listings.
Oh yeah, my Sony PS3 games look amazing on this TV. And Blu-ray movies are out of this world! Worth every penny!
