The latest version of Sony's respected BRAVIA Engine fully Digital video processor uses a collection of unique SONY algorithms to significantly reduce noise and produce sharp, vibrant, life-like images. With Sony's Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE), which uses real-time image processing to dynamically adjust backlight levels for improved Contrast without masking details the filmmaker intended you to see.

Original Owner for 18 months strong! September 4, 2010 lestoby I am an "Old School" TV person and balked at paying over $500 for a TV set, but now that I finally relented by buying this HDTV, I have no regrets!
I purchased my Sony KDL-46V4100 February 2009 for $1,299 at Fry's Electronics. Fry's offers a money-back guarantee if the set went down in price within 30 days. The price dropped $50 twice within 30 days and they happily gave me a total of $100 back - no squabbling or lengthy paperwork required.
I also purchased a 5-year warranty for an extra $189 from Fry's. If anything goes wrong (except for intentional damage) in 5 years, Fry's will come and pick up the set and give me a new one or provide in-home service. When making an expensive purchase, you should invest a little more and buy the extended warranty.
I am happy to announce that I have not had to use my warranty and have had no problems with my Sony. I did extensive consumer research prior to buying an HDTV and had narrowed my choices to Samsung, Sony Bravia, and Hitatchi. Samsung HDTV's were a bit out of my budget, but Sony was more competitive during the recession.
I am confident that my TV will outlast my 5-year warranty. I never go to the movies because I have my own Movie Theater experience right in my living room (except for the pushing, shoving, lousy seating and high-priced popcorn).
Great TV August 3, 2010 chris87654 I checked reviews on a lot of LCD TVs and tried 2 others (Samsung and Sanyo) before getting and keeping this Sony - I've had it for about 8 months now. I had an old sound system that needed RCA phono plug inputs, which the Sony has (Samsung didn't) - when this TV was on sale for $788 I figured I'd spring for a Sony and am glad I did. The picture quality is excellent (the Sanyo had green blacks), sound is good without the sound system, and the TV Guide feature is great since I only use antenna. HD is excellent and Std resolution shows are good too - better than the other two. Old black and white shows are true b/w. Others have said Sony quality is not what it used to be, but I've not had that experience - this is a fine TV.
Great Service and value March 7, 2010 M. Archabald The original order was out of stock but the retailer upgraded to a newer model with more features at no extra cost. Was delivered on schedule. TV has a great picture with many nice features. I am still having a problem viewing a slideshow from USB source but am making progress. I recommend this product and retailer.
What a great surprise! February 9, 2010 Rogue Schott (Illinois) I ordered this tv a few weeks ago because it was on sale and the shipping was going to be free for it. I had been searching around for the best deal on a quality tv for months now, and finally pulled the trigger on this one after i had done some research. To my surprise, before the day that the tv was supposed to be sent, i received a call from Home Theater Systems saying that they no longer make this tv anymore and that they would upgrade me to a current model for free. I was immediately shipped the VE5 46 Inch Bravia with everything updated such as refresh rate, more HDMI ports, and everything else. Turned out to be a $2,000 dollar tv for less than half the price. Quite a steal in my book.
Great experience with Sony service December 7, 2009 Midwesterly (USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
So far, my experience with Sony's KDL-46V4100 has been very good. Picture is excellent, after about 4 months I have had no problems.
The only dilemma I had was user error - at first I had some older DVD players which would not function on the Composite input to the TV. I finally had Sony service come out to show me that my older players, even though they had composite output, were not compatible with this television (duh). But, I had one newer player than worked just fine. Service could have charged me $100 for the visit, but they didn't, the technician was patient with my ignorance.
So I would rate my local service provider for Sony very highly. Quite a shocker.
