Product Description
For consumers who want an HDTV that keeps pace with fast-action movies, sports, and game play, Sony BRAVIA V-Series Flat Panel HDTVs combine Full HD 1080p performance and Motionflow 120Hz technology for an amazing viewing experience. Motionflow 120Hz takes both high-definition and standard programming a step further by increasing sharpness and detail in fast-moving images for more fluid, natural motion. In addition, BRAVIA V-Series HDTVs use proprietary Image Blur Reduction technology to further enhance the picture for even better performance. The HDTVs also feature BRAVIA Engine 2 technology, which uses exclusive Sony algorithms to reduce visual noise and sharpen and enhance an already-striking dynamic contrast ratio. Additionally, they include seven versatile HD connections to ensure you get impressive image quality from all your HD components. Take advantage of four HDMI inputs, component and composite inputs, and a PC input, as well as a USB input that lets you play audio files from USB storage devices, or connect a compatible camera to your HDTV for a quick and easy slide show. Sony knows your home theater set-up doesn’t stop with your HDTV, which is why the BRAVIA V-Series HDTVs are compatible with BRAVIA Link Modules — including the BRAVIA Wireless Link, BRAVIA DVD Link, and BRAVIA Input Link Modules (all sold separately). The HDTVs also support BRAVIA SyncTM technology so you can control all of your compatible devices with a single remote. And all BRAVIA HDTVs exceed ENERGY STAR 3.0 requirements for in-use and stand-by power consumption, meaning you don’t need a lot of power to get a lot of performance.

I purchased this TV about a month ago, and after 3 weeks I noticed an issue. I started watching movies on Netflix and noticed there was a color issue. When the camera would change it would go from a vibrant image, to then fading and washed out looking. I then tried a Bluray and I noticed the same problem. From what I read online this was an issue with the TV and there was an update for it.
I called customer support and they sent me the link for the update and told me how to do it. It was easy, or so they said. I was told it ould take 4 minutes max. I watched the screen change and the update go, and then it switched to the BRAVIA screen and stayed that way. for about 30 minutes. I called them back and they walked me through reseting the TV, which didn’t work. I now have a frozen TV and a servicemen coming on Wednesday to have a look at it.
Perhaps the color issue was my HDMI cable, and not the TV. But I read this TV had issues with autocontrast until you did the update. However the update managed to screw up my TV even more.
But it does look great in my entertainment unite! So the design itself is nice, and untill i had my problem it wasnt a bad TV. Wonderful pictures and games looked great on it! Just before you buy be sure to think this over. I may just have bad luck.

I bought the TV three weeks ago from an on-line store. Price was good but the delivery was not and Fedex left the box on my porch while I was at work. It was raining that day and box got wet but the TV was surpraisingly not damaged.
The dimming issue is not fixed by Sony. I noticed the dimming issue the second day and had to download the fairmware which seems to have fixed the issue to a lrage degree. I have the ACE on Medium and it seems to work. Does anyone know if the ACE should be on off to totaly eliminate the diming issue? Also most web sites suggest the Motion Flow control to be turned off. Wouldn’t that turn the antiblur off too.
There are few other issues which I am not sure if they are related to the TV or the cable box. Sometimes TV looses video when changing channels. This has happends few times so far and once the picture went off in the middel of a movie and I had to turn the TV off and on. I contacted Sony and they said it is the Cable provider. Has any one experiances loss of picture?
Overall picture quality is not bad for the money.

Plain and simple, this is a very good 40 inch flat screen television. Mine replaces a 35 inch, 10 year old Sony tube tv that actually costs me $1,200 when I bought it. The old TV still works perfectly but obviously is not a HDTV. I paid $797.00 for the new one at ABC warehouse after a little haggling. The flat screen 40″ is only 10% bigger than a traditional 35″ because of the wide screen/lower hight shape. Keep that in mind if you are seeking a major upgrade in size. The 42″ and 46″ versions are only about $200 more than the 40″ and would be well worth the small added cost. My purchase, on the other hand, was based substantially on weight. We intend to put this TV in our travel trailer for 4 months out of the year and take it with us on vacation. For some reason the current 42 and 46 inch televisions carry with them a disproportionate jump up in weight. That is, a 42 inch screen is only 5% bigger than a 40 inch, but weighs as much as 25% more. I think it might have more to do with the heaviness of the stand than the actual tv, but it is a consideration if you intend to move the tv from time to time. Bottom line, we are happy with our purchase.
