High style and high performance
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) I will admit up front that I am a complete HDTV newbie. I hung on to a 20 year old, 22 inch CRT color "monitor television" for far too long, in part because I do not watch much television programming (a bit of baseball, PBS, occaisional Law & Order reruns, that sort of thing) and in part because the whole HDTV techno nerd thing was too intimidating. After much online research and a few ...

XBR9 40" Review. Do I prefer Plasma? Yes.
BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE: I recommend you to upgrade your TV firmware / software as soon you receive it.[...]
Trying to get a internet cable to the TV will be a difficult task of more cases, I used an internet bridge or game adaptor that gives you the get wireless and have a cable to connect to the tv.
See it @ amazon.com:

Sony's best lcd tv, until LED comes out!
I am still evaluating this LCD TV, this would be a perfect TV, if it only have had LED back-light technology, I can't believe this TV, with so many innovations, such 240Hz motion flow, Internet connectivity, Great picture, etc, is still using Fluorescent lamps, the price should pump out the LED local dimming technology, that would take this TV to the very top, I hope the next new line of LCD TV from Sony, will use newer technologies accordingly, In a dark room, you are watching fluorescent Lamps...

Wonderful HDTV Ready for the Internet
We first bought a 40W4100 and then that night saw the new Sony 40Z5100 on Amazon.com for about $200 more than the older and lower model. So we took the W4100 back and ordered the 40Z5100 and got it before the end of the same week. We love this HDTV. It was simple to set up, and fortunately had the ethernet connection close by. It has great over-the-air HDTV reception (and will easily do if cable goes out) and had no problem with the Comcast HDTV DVR tuner. Unbelievable clarity, color and ac...

Very good quality.
Pictures are very good quality, brilliant colors. But you have to use expensive HD cable lines to ensure good HD 1080 pictures, if you buy low quality cable lines, then you will get poor quality pictures, again it is all about the cable lines then this TV is able to deliver.

CONTRAST RATIO.....?
I LOOK AT THE ADS IN AMAZONS SECTION FOR SONY TVs ALL THE TIME. THERE IS NEVER REALLY ANY MENTION OF WHAT THE CONTRAST RATIO IS. THE HZ HELPS BUT THE CONTRAST RATIO IS VERY IMPORTANT. IF U LOOK AT SAMSUNGS ADS IN AMAZONS SECTION , U WILL ALWAYS SEE HOW HOW MUCH THE CONTRAST RATIO IS . IT HELPS DEFINE COLORS AND SHARPNESS. SONY THINKS IT IS THE KING OF TVs AND PRODUCT? ITS NOT. YOUR PS3 CAN JUNK OUT BY DOING NOTHING AT ALL, NOT TO MENTION THE LAW SUIT THEY R IN CUZ OF THIER LATEST UPDATE VERSION....

Great TV - Worth the Money
While this TV costs a bit more than your Vizio or some other Sam's Club special it is well worth it. I bought it about a month ago and have loved it ever since I first hooked it up.
I have it hooked up to a Sony Blue-Ray BDPS360 player as well as my Bose Lifestyle V30 Surround Sound and various other equipment. The extra HDMIs are really nice and the ethernet capability is easy to set-up and use. It saw my Buffalo LinkStation Media Server without any problems and streams music perfec...

Sony Bravia xbr9
From the day we received this tv we have loved it. We did a lot of research and felt that the natural colors, the very fast and smooth motion flow and the crisp picture would be just right for us and we've not been disappointed at all.

Simply Amazing
In searching for a HDTV for our new videoconference set up I had many options and many vendors but by far this was the best TV at an amazing price. I will definitely be returning to Amazon.com for future TV purchases.

What's great about it: Great picture quality, styling, features, and presence
What's not so great: Nothing I've encountered
"This TV is awesome! Black levels are great and so are the life-like effects it presents. It will give you an understanding of that "popping" or "3d" effect that people talk about. If you're a picture fanatic like myself, along with almost all tvs, it will need a little bit of picture tweaking out of the box, but for most other buyers, this tv i...
