    Strengths: Deep rich color, bright display

    Weaknesses:Price

    Overall Evaluation: Sony never fails when producing LCD TV's. They have been the leader for years, and certainly beat out the competition. This LCD can be view from any angle it does not have a limited viewing angle like most plasma. You can find similar low end models at Costco, that have a greater warranty than other retailers so i definitely recommend shopping around before making a purchase.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Non-shiny Screen, Crisp picture, Loads of picture controls, Four HDMIs

    Weaknesses:Price, none other so far.

    Overall Evaluation: For under $1300, the only alternative to this TV was the Samsung A650, whose shiny screen was pretty bad for medium to well lit rooms. The Sony 40v4100 has the perfect screen finish for any room. The colors are extremely good, and the sound is just amazing. No need to get any additional audio equipment unless you are setting up a home theater. It has some amazing picture controls like backlight, noise reduction,black correction, gamma, color temperature in addition to the regular sharpness, color, etc. The power-on time is less than 2 seconds. I have included a picture of the TV playing an old movie (the firm), using an up-scaling 1080p DVD player.

    Strengths: Vivid colors, great stereo sound, plenty of features, nice control interface, easy to use setup wizard.

    Weaknesses:Build quality feels more plastic than previous models. Some channels appear stalling or signal can't be decoded. But I tend to believe it's not the TV problem.

    Overall Evaluation: I purchased it for $1169 with a bonus wallmount. Can't beat the price for the innovative SONY brand name. It's SONY so picture quality is a sure thing. The new design looks great even though I think it could be built more solid. No video/audio cables included, which comes as extra costs to you.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Great picture, easy setup, many possible picture/sound configurations

    Weaknesses:Some functions on the remote are not intuitive

    Overall Evaluation: Our satellite feed is not 1080p; I did get OTA DTV feeds up to 1080i, which looked very sharp. I will probably get an upconvert DVD player to get 1080p. This is my problem, not the TV's. We already got rave reviews from friends and neighbors. I had thought the 40" would be too small for our family room but it seems just right. Time will tell; we may move the 40" to the bedroom and get a 52" for the FR. I've already watched several action movies. The built-in S-FORCE Front Surround is good but not quite like a separate home theater system.

    Strengths: Very bright! Gorgeous resolution. Lot's of inputs. Awesome price. Outstanding colors. BIG PLUS: This 40"" monitor qualifies for inhome warranty service, rather than you having to ship it to them

    Weaknesses:lines appear on some hd channels, this doesn't happen on my xbr4, the lines only appear on 2-3 channels, mostly TNT and ABC. everything else is fine, I'm still wondering what the lines are...maybe my connections to directv hd dvr reciever.

    Overall Evaluation: No Cons that stand out. I guess some of the more technical consumers on here would prefer if this television had several HDMI ports as opposed to just one. Buy it.
