Were it not for my current problem, I would rate this TV a 4 or 5. I did exhaustive research on LCD televisions and made repeated trips to stores to compare picture quality and features. I gravitated to this particular set for its small footprint (bezel) around the screen, the exceptional picture quality and the Sony name. I have always known Sony TVs to be high quality and reliable........until now.
I babied this puppy on delivery, as if it were fine crystal. It sits on top of a cabinet, free-standing, with plenty of ventilation in a large room. For 23 days it worked great. Then a powerful windstorm knocked out power in NE Ohio and took down cable across the region. The following day I had the TV on throughout the day as I waited for cable to be restored. Late in the afternoon I noticed vertical lines across the screen instead of simply a blank screen.
The set was totally unresponsive via remote or otherwise. It didn't even work with my Sony DVD player --just random vertical

I bought this KDL-40W4100 a few weeks ago. It looks awesome when using HDMI inputs. But of course looks even worse than a regular TV when viewing non-HD sources (as with any HDTV). My two real complaints are:
there are only 2 audio outputs from the TV: optical digital and stereo RCA-jacks. This will only support 2 external speakers (not center or surround sound). Bummer, as the TV's tiny speakers are quite lame.
And problem #2 is: the base stand that came with the TV is not level! Ridiculous! This precision-engineered widescreen HDTV now sits 1/4" higher on one side because the stand isn't level! So now I have to put a pad of Post-It notes under the left side.
Overall, this is a nice TV, but I'm still disappointed.

The Sony Bravia KDL-26M4000 is by far the best Sony TV I have ever purchased. The picture quality is unbelieveable. Although this tv is a
HDLCD, I don't have HD service but the picture is just like HD with just a cable hook-up. I highly recommend this model.

Here's my story:
- I finally realize what all that talk about copyright protection is about. I purchased the Samsung DVD-VR375 1080p Up-Converting VHS Combo DVD Recorder to dub my personal VHS tapes to DVD. When I tried to copy my VHS movies (like Heavy Metal which I purchased from a store about a decade ago) to DVD, it stopped a few seconds in saying that it can't dub because of the copy protection signal endcoded on it.
I am now learning that is because I am trying to copy video that has embedded macrovision protection. Taping over the hole on the cassette doesn't help because that hole is only designed to tell your VCR not to allow you to accidentally record over the cassette. This is one of the reasons the Samsung DVD-VR375 1080p Up-Converting VHS Combo DVD unit is useless because all it allows me to copy is my own home movies. From what I am told one needs to incorporate a Digital Video Stabilizer.
To add annoyance to the above problem I also had to contend with the fact that

As long as you get this one...the 60GB XBOX 360 (since it came out on july 2008), you're fine. I thought about it a lot, I read all of the reviews, and after looking at EVERY SINGLE XBOX360 on the internet, I thought this was the best one. I recommend buying this console. I have a couple of things to say:
1. About the whole thing "heating up", no worries. If you put the console vertically, you're fine. No need for extra fans or anything. I have touched after a long period of play the holes that make the air go in, and it feels very cool, so, it will keep the console cool. It does its job.
2. Amazon was great. On time, and the XBOX arrived just fine.
3. Just PLAY IT!!!! I got it like three days ago, and I haven't been able to stop playing...I am a college student...and geez it's amazing.
4. If you feel like you want a good console, with good games. Get it. Or get the Wii...that I also have, but I kinda prefer the XBOX's games.
BUY. Don't believe most of the bad stuff you read here. This

I am very pleased with this new HD TV. It has a great picture and sound. It also came with an automatic one year warranty by the manufacturer which is the main reason I purchased it. It was also brand new (not refurbished).
I would buy another one for my bedroom, as I am using the one I purchased in my living room. I guess I'll just have to save my pennies.
I am very pleased with this electronic purchase from Overstock. I got it at a great price.

I bought this receiver 2 weeks ago. So far, I absolutely love it. I have connected it to a Panasonic mdp-bd30 blu-ray player and a Samsung LN46A650 46" LCD TV, through HDMI. Setup was very easy, with an HDMI cable comming from my satellite box and another from the Blu-Ray box, and then a single cable going from the receiver to my TV. I set the Blu-Ray player to send the audio information in bitstream to the receiver, and the receiver so far has perfectly played all the audio formats, including Dolby TrueHD, and Dolby Digital 5.1 The sound has been truly amazing, with the Polk 5.1 speaker system I also bought from Amazon. My family and I have watched some high-energy movies, such as "300" and "Apocalypto" and the sound has been truly exhilarating. Even football games have been revolutionary, as the 5.1 separation creates a game-changing experience when compared to watching on a standard TV or even with a two-channel stereo.
Overall, the quality of the sound is stunning. My normal-sized

All I can say is I love this TV!!! It does take some getting used to. The picture is so crisp and many people have said that it seems like the picture is moving too fast. My sister in law wanted to disable the 120hz... It is hard to watch my old TVs now. DLNA was difficult to set up initialy but that was my computers settings I went to another computer and it worked fine.
I am a little annoyed with amazon since the price dropped before I received the TV and they would not refund the difference.
Shipping was early and the delivery guys were friendly and a bit jealous...

I have been tracking this product and t220hd, t240hd for a while. The $30 Samsung rebate has been around for a while before Amazon reduce price for T260hd. But consider tax (8.25% for us in texas) in local stores (plus $520-$540 product price), or $25 shipping charged by the only potential candidate seller newegg, Amazon is still the first choice I would make. And then comes the price drop, which is amazing to me because i list the three models in my wishlist for easy comparison of their prices, and i find out t240hd and t260hd are both listed for the same price.
So I bite the deal and add 3.99 for one day shipping, it just came this morning. The product simply blow my mind off, especially when i hook up with my xbox 360. I play the two demos fifa 09 and need for speed most wanted, the graphics are out of this word gaming quality. Then I connect my wii, and it's such great improvement compared with my previous monitor (gateway hd2200 which also has hdmi and component input). I have always

I am not an expert, but a guy that loves movies, and especially Blu-ray movies. The reliability, picture quality, and speed of the Samsung 1500 is impressive. I own a PS3, a Samsung 1400, and a Sony BDP-S300. However, I am in love with my Sammy 1500. I have tried over 50 of my Blu-ray movies and they all paly perfectly. The load times are significantly reduced when compared to the 1400 and the Sony S300. I paid $350 for my Samsung 1500 player, and was excited about the price. Now Amazon is selling it for $260...A great deal!

For those worried about the "halo effect" some have complained about, good news...Samsung is aware of the issue. Newer reviews of this tv have stated not even seeing the so-called Halo. That's because the latest models of the 750 (those made August on) have the new bezel that was created to defeat the Halo. For those who've already bought one....you can go on the Samsung website and they direct you on how to get a service technician to come to your home to fix the problem for free.

The Shipment only took a week. And before the drop off, I got contacted by the carrier.
The TV was the perfect choice for our living room. Just the right size. the picture quality is excellent and with the speakers in the front the audio is fantastic as well.
If I had to make that choice again, it would be the exact same one!

Well I must admit I was excited about Pioneers new lineup for summer 2008, I bought their new 1018 receiver which sounds fantastic with my paradigm speakers. I decided to pair my receiver with the new BDP-51 player since it matched up well in looks, quality, and video/audio specs. I must admit when placing the I AM LEGEND BD in the player I was astonished at how crisp the colors and sounds were on my new Panasonic 42" 1080 plasma. Then after placing in the TOP GUN BD and BATMAN BEGINS BD I found the player having difficulty loading the BDs, I had to press stop and then play and also play around with the menu button to finally get the BD to load. I would say the BD player froze atleast 75% of the time when playing these titles. I am now checking on the firmware updates in hopes that the bug can be fixed otherwise I'll be sending it in. So I'm definitley disapointed with the bugs I've noticed. When it works though its a beauty both in sight and sound....

This is an excellent TV, but it is not without a few flaws.
Pros: Brilliant picture with better black than I anticipated. Motion blurring is no longer an issue with these 120hz sets, which is great for sports fans or gamers. There are also plenty of connections for additional devices. It is a great TV...the best I have ever owned.
Cons: They have a great remote, but it is not universal (COME ON!) and thus will not control your cable/satellite box. I called Samsung to confirm this and they said they had issues with the previous model (too many consumer complaints) and removed the universal capabilities. ***By the way Samsung...you can also receive complaints for a LACK of basic features and this is one of them. The issues should have been resolved. Anyway, this will not be an issue for many who have more complex set ups and need a universal remote anyway.
The Anynet feature is a nice concept allowing you to more easily control numerous Samsung devices, like a BluRay DVD, simply;

Everything about this television is fantastic. Amazon's delivery guys were very fast and professional. I recommend that if your going to buy this TV, buy it through Amazon.

I've had this unit for just over a month. The first problem I had is that it would occasionally catch the DVD when ejecting. I solved this problem by lifting up the back about 1/4 inch. It then decided to stop recording right in the middle of a show saying 'copy protected- cannot proceed'. Its done this twice. Both times during a commercial somewhere during the program. JVC tells me to use DVD-RWs instead of DVD+RWs but I read another reviewer who said they had the same problem when using -RWs.
I can also say that the digital tuner will produce a picture that constantly pulsates between clear and fuzzy. The most annoying problem is that the machine will stop recording audio if there is a glitch in the digital signal. JVC tells me to try the analog tuner. The whole reason I bought this unit was because of the digital tuner. use caution when buying this unit. Yours may work fine. read the discussion threads.
I wish I had not bought this unit. the positive side is that it plays

Look at the picture & forget about the price, other reviews mentioned how much this TV cost, I will not. Why? Because, when your focus is to get the best TV out there the price should comes second. To me, this is the one. I watch this TV from about 13 feet away and have a direct TV DVR receiver connected by monster 1000 HDMI cable. Wow!
Here is a double Wow! Get the Panasonic Blue-ray Disc player DMP-BD30 will do and connect it to this TV set by HDMI connection, get the "planet earth" Blue-ray CD and you will experience audio/video Shock & Awe.
I am not bias to Panasonic, in fact the only Panasonic I ever purchased in my life was a panasonic wireless telephone, 6 years old and still going... So I figured the TV would be as durable, so far so good.
Hey, if price is the issue, an average person will keep a good TV set 5 to 7 years. Now divide the cost by the amount of years you think you will keep this TV. Got it?
Au revoir mes amis, I am going to watch TV

This is an AWESOME product. I've been using it for about 2 weeks now, and in my opinion it's one of the best HTs I've ever heard. It's much betten than the overrated BOSE systems, and 7.1 THX beats any movie theater.
The con is that speakers are freakishly bulky (specially if you compare to a Bose). You might have some hard time finding a stand that will remain standing with one of those, so it's a good bet to go with the ones from Onkyo itself.
Universal remote works pretty well, although it could be better looking (go with the Philips Prestigo series for a nicer look and good funcionality).
All and all, if you want a top-notch HT in a box system, you cannot go wrong with this. Plenty of digital inputs (both HDMI and Optical, unlike the previous 990 version).

Typical Sony dependable & perfoms well, on a 1 - 10 scale overall satisfaction "8", picture "7", sound "9", ease of use "8". Also amazon.com gets an "8" on customer service for a Samsung LCD I recently sent back because of sound problems. They sent out a new TV within 5 days and picked up the old one. I never was without a TV.
