For the price? Buy this LCD!
by jrock81 from on 2010-03-08
I have to say, I really like this TV. My previous LCD was a Samsung 32" 720p - and this set blows it away in almost every aspect. I think I paid around $550 for the Samsung a little over a year ago, so I jumped at the chance to upgrade to the EX400.
Pros: The ambient light sensor works terrific.
- 4 HDMI inputs! Plug away my friends.
- Bravia Sync feature works great with my Sony home theater system.
- PS3 games have never looked better. I played Killzone 2 right after I setup the TV and my jaw was open for about 10 minutes straight.
- It only has a 60Hz refresh rate, but I've yet to see any blur while watching sports.
- DVD's look fairly crisp as well, considering I have a cheap DVD up-converter.
- It's a Sony! I'm sure some ppl have had bad experiences with Sony, but I've had nothing but luck. To each his own I guess.
Cons: The remote is junk. It looks cheap and it isn't very functional.
- The grey panel on the front. I had a bigger problem with the online picture of the set than I do in person. It doesn't look THAT bad - but it still throws off the continuity of the black perimeter. Strange call by Sony.
- Calibration is frustrating. There are so many different picture settings you'll probably struggle to find the perfect setup. I used the DVD THX Optimizer (found it on one of my Star Wars movies) and it helped a lot. (I posted them on [...])
- If you're using an antenna instead of cable/satellite you'll find that channel surfing is a bit slow. This is kind of a nitpick, but the channels take a little longer to load on this set.
- No swivel? I knew this set didn't have it before I bought it - but it would still be nice.
For around $600 you can have full 1080p AND a 40" screen. Great TV - great deal.
Excellent TV
by BAM from New York, New York on 2010-03-12
Very happy. Sharp picture. Easy to use. Not an electronic-phile but I do my homework and was hesitant to buy a Sony. From what I read Sony was living on its laurels. But this TV seems to give great bang for the buck (and my wife wanted a Sony). I do not miss 120HZ or LED. The picture is not blurry when watching sports or action movies to my eye or anyone else in my family (of course all we watch is curling) (just kidding). Picture is bright, too. Easy set-up. It has a pre-set for home (rather than store), which has been fine by all of us. $599 for 40" 1080p. Pretty Sweet.
Unbelievable Set
by Daniel A. Robbins from on 2010-07-14
After my Sony 32" KDL32M4000 developed an interior vertical crack on the LCD (suddenly and without warning ... while it was hanging on the wall) I started looking for a new LCD begrudgingly (since the old was only 1.5 years old).
Suffice to say I am THRILLED with the replacement I choose; this EX400 40". The picture clarity is breathtaking (I'm connected here in NYC to TimeWarner Cable's HD cable and I have an Xbox360, Playstation3 and Sony 5.1 surround Home Theatre kit all connected via HDMI - effortlessly).
From the box to my wall this TV took all of 15 minutes to set up. It was that easy. There isn't a lot of tweeking of the picture, which is just fine with me!
The best part was the price I got from BestBuy. $575 (sale price $630 less $55 in coupons via their Reward Zone program). At this price, the choice was basically made for me. And I get to continue my love affair with Sony!
BUY THIS TV!
Simply a fantastic TV
by Justin T. Melanson from Tyngsboro, MA USA on 2010-05-20
It took me three months to pay for this, actually had it on layaway at my local Sears for that long. Originally I was going to go for two others TVs before this one until a gentleman who works there, went by the name of Peter, directed me towards this TV. As soon as I saw it, and saw the picture clarity in comparison to the Sharp Aquos as well as other TVs of similar size and specs, I knew this was the TV for me. Most of the other TVs looked washed out compared to this thing, so it was no contest.
Anyway, I finally got this thing home, eventually set it up on a wall mount I got off of here for cheap, and it's been a fantastic TV. Much, MUCH improved over my old standard-def TV, which was given to a friend afterward BTW. The picture quality is superb, the colours are rich and vibrant, no motion blur, no slowdown, no lag, none of the problems that apparently seems to plague most TVs with the 60Hz specs. Even standard-def cable looks fantastic on this beast, and that's saying something right there. I don't think you'll be disappointed with this as a sports game TV at all if you want to primarily use it for that. However, the real star of the show is gaming. Especially with HDMI cables, which is a must, fortunately you can get them for crazy cheap nowadays.
As one other reviewer said, games have never looked better. Like him, I sat there for at least 5 - 10 minutes drooling after booting up Killzone 2 on my PS3. I was absolutely amazed at how good everything looked, and that's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Being able to read the text on Star Ocean: The Last Hope International and not having everything blur on me or having my eyes hurt for that matter, when using the classic Anime look of that game was astounding to say the least. Super Street Fighter IV, which is fast and frantic, ran without missing a single beat. Then there was Forza Motorsport 3 on the 360? Jaw-dropping to say the least. Same with Mass Effect, was amazing to see the text on screen whereas before I simply could not do so only downer was the slowdown but I feel that was due to in-game programming as opposed to my TV as the slowdown has only happened with this game alone. While I am sure other HDTVs would do the same thing, could they do so with the same quality? I can answer with doubtful.
The only weak point is the sound, which is decent enough, it gets the job done but nothing more. There's nothing special about it, I'd say if you can, hook it up to a good surround sound speaker system. You'll most likely get better sound quality, and you'll be able to enjoy the fantastic picture quality this badboy has to offer. All in all, this is really a fantastic TV with so much bang for the buck that it's unreal. You won't be disappointed if you decide to get this badboy. I am so glad I did, I could not be happier as a gamer.
Great TV, Great Value
by B. McGuigan from San Francisco, CA United States on 2010-06-30
I bought this TV from a big box store and have been loving every min of it. I used to have a 27" CRT that weighed 40lbs and needed 2 people to lift, this thing probably weighed half of that and I set it up by my self (from un-boxing to lifting onto the stand).I have it hooked up to an upscaling dvd player, a yamaha amp (surround sound) and then an xbox. Everything looks fantastic. The blacks are black and there is no light bleed from around the corners. Even though it isn't the fastest refresh rate (hertz) as some of the other tvs, the picture is fine, even on fast paced driving or shooting games I have no light trails/drag.
Use the picture settings that someone has posted here on a different review for best color and have all of your equipment go to into the tv with HDMI, then optical cable out of it to your surround sound and you'll never be happier.
