Sony Z zooms past current XBR5
The 10-bit Z series 40″ Sony LCDs are the absolute best. This TV sends XBR down a notch. Digital source material will jump out at you like never before. Gorgous color and contrast. The best yet.

1080i TV broadcast looks about 90% as good as Blu-ray on this panel. The delivery of non-HD DVD movies is wonderful and the picture using Blu Ray is absolutely stunning! (I rarely use the word “stunning”)

Also, it’s very future-proof with lots of (4) HDMI inputs and a LAN connection and USB. I’ve had the KDL 40Z4100 for about 2 weeks now and the ranking of picture quality goes as follows: Blu Ray (late release)movies, Digital HD television broadcast or HD digital cable, standard def (480 or 720) movies from a good quality “upscaling” player, and finally – standard def TV broadcast. The 120hz motion control and 24p pull-down work well on older standard def movies. My only advice is to not scrimp on the DVD player. You’re going to see your old flicks look better than you have seen them…ever – with a good upscalling player.

Even video sources from my computer look near HD. I’ve connected my computers 8800GT graphics card’s DVI out to the Sony’s HDMI input and the look of some of my games is just as good, if not better, than my 22” Samsung monitor.
This is Sony’s best so far, in my humble opinion. Go for it!

Fantastic LCD TV5
I was looking for a 40″ LCD and narrowed it down to the Sony 40Z4100, Sony 40XBR4, and Samsung LN40A750… I’ve previously owned a 46″ Samsung LN-T4665F and a Samsung LN-T3253H so naturally I wanted to go back to Samsung. The picture on the 750 is amazing but side by side, in multiple stores, I just couldn’t take my eyes off the Sony LCDs. I then was stuck between the Sony 40XBR4 and the 40Z4100…
I had my heart set on the XBR4 since it was Sony’s top of the line product last year, but when I saw that this years 40″ XBR6 and XBR7 were going to have identical specs to the Z4100, (granted Contrast Ratio will probably be higher on the XBR’s,) it came down to the simple question of:

Do I want to spend $2500+ on the new XBR or $1700+ on the Z4100??

I have to say I’m extremely happy with my decision to save a few bucks and go with the Z-series. The picture quality is breathtaking in both HD and Blu-Ray. Standard TV is top notch as well but I’m blown away with the detail, color, and overall picture this TV offers. You really can’t lose if you’re going with any of these 3 TV’s but I’m so glad I went with the Z-series. Its thin frame is hardly seen and the TV is almost 20 lbs lighter than the XBR4… The Sony 40Z4100, is hands down, my choice for a 40″ LCD.

The best price/value ratio and the best (period) total package now available5
This TV has numerous advantages over the Samsung 6xx and 7xx series which it is often compared to. First off, the Samsung’s are fantastic TVs. The characteristics of the picture (color cast, primarily- which is different among makers- cool is cooler on one, neutral may be warmer on another and warm may be too warm for some viewers, etc.) should be judged by each individual viewer. There are some people who are going to like the Samsung’s picture better than the Sony’s, and vice versa.

That being said- I return to the advantages: Deep color and x.v. Color. Despite some spec sheets which show this set doesn’t have x.v. color, it does. It has both deep & x.v. color, and one can only imagine that the reason the Sony marketing department may have chosen to leave that off spec sheets after the TV had already been designed was to better differentiate their much more costly XBR series TVs. On the other hand, the engineering and cost marketing departments had obviously found advantages in maintaining a common BOM with their latest chipsets which also support their 120 Hz Bravia Engine 2, etc. These must be common among this Z-series Bravia and the ’08 XBR offerings, in my estimation.

The most important differentiation between this Sony set and the Samsung competition may be the true 24 Hz (or 24 FPS) playback of 24 FPS blu-ray material. This makes the Sony standards-compliant on three important new standards for High-Def that the Samsung simply ignores. Add exceptional image quality and build quality (in my eyes)- and the Sony is a no-brainer for ~$200 more than the Samsung.

I have been surprised by the omission of these important facts from other reviews. I have had the TV for over a month and bought it on Amazon- and I couldn’t be happier. Of course their 48 month 0% financing deal also helped.

Customer Reviews

Great Picture and Features, plus it’s eco-friendly5
This is an excellent TV.

Picture Quality:
The picture quality of this set is superb. In the setup menu, I set the picture to “vivid” mode and the HD quality is simply life-like. The color and contrast are excellent. It also uses something that Sony calls MotionFlow which helps to smooth out the image when you are watching fast-action pictures.

Backlight Technology:
It is an LCD set, but uses a hot cathode fluorescent lamp for its backlighting. This technology allows it to be much more energy efficient and close to par with the energy usage of LED backlit LCD TVs. Most LCDs use cold cathode fluorescent lamps. The 40″ model uses a maximum of 140 watts, the 46″ uses a max of 160 watts, and the 52″ uses a max of 180 watts.

Eco-Friendly:
It has a sensor called a presence sensor that does two things. First it senses the ambient (room) light and if the room gets darker, it will automatically dim the picture of the TV. This works well if you are watching TV in the bedroom at night and you want less light output. The second thing that the sensor does is senses the room for motion and body heat. If you leave the room for a preset amount of time (5 min, 30 min, …) and the TV doesn’t sense anyone around, it will turn off the picture. If you walk back in the room, it senses you and turns the screen back on. The sound stays on for another 30 minutes or so, then the whole set will go into stand-by mode if it does not sense you. Both of these features can be turned off via the setup menu and help to conserve energy.

Features (just a few of them):
The TV is loaded with features. It will automatically sense if you have something connected to an input (for example HDMI2). This is great when you want to hit the input button on the remote because it will not select items that aren’t currently sending out a signal. This means you don’t have to scroll through 10 items if you only have two components connected to the TV. In the setup menu, you can set each input for always on, always off, or auto. I used the always on setting for the PC input because the cable I used to connect the PC did not send a power signal so the TV did not sense it. By setting it to always on, the PC input will always be available when I scan through the inputs.

It also has a lot of inputs. There are 4 HDMI inputs. If you have a DVI port on your PC, then you can connect it through HDMI port 1 which also has an analog audio input. There is one dedicated composite (with S-video) and one dedicated component input, but there is another switchable composite/component input that you can use if you have two composites and one component, or vice versa. There is a PC input to connect via VGA connection. The audio outputs are one optical digital out and one analog out.

Dislikes:
1. All of the Inputs and Output are on the left side (when looking at the front of the TV) of the TV. This is unfortunate for me since my A/V cabinet is on the right side of the TV. It is a minor inconvenience, but something that I did not think about until I got the set home. I would say about half of the inputs are one the left side and the other half are on the back, next to the side inputs.

2. The presence sensor is right where I have my center audio speaker. I will have to raise up the TV to still have that speaker front and center.

Overall, this is not a cheap TV, but I think this is a case where you get what you pay for. It is a really great set.

Great Picture. TV is finally off in the morning!5
Auto-off feature is really nice. I’m not as green as I should be, but this set has solved my teenager falling asleep with the TV on all night. Picture is great, menu/settings are very user friendly, and only ports with an item plugged in are in the “input” rotation on the remote. Highly recommend.

One weird thing about the White Glove delivery from Amazon. They showed up on time, and even phoned ahead…very nice, plus set the TV up and took the garbage. However during the setup the TV searches for channels automatically. When this seemed to be going slow, the delivery guy says “this can take awhile the first time it runs”, and my wife let them leave. After performing a “search” for about 30 minutes I discovered that they had used input cables from a DVD player that was not hooked up to the satellite system. I simply plugged an HDMI cable from the dish to the TV…and whammo…200+ channels almost instantly.

Everything else was great. I would make a similar purchase again with Amazon without hesitation.

Customer Reviews

High style and high performance5
I will admit up front that I am a complete HDTV newbie. I hung on to a 20 year old, 22 inch CRT color “monitor television” for far too long, in part because I do not watch much television programming (a bit of baseball, PBS, occaisional Law & Order reruns, that sort of thing) and in part because the whole HDTV techno nerd thing was too intimidating. After much online research and a few surreptitious visits to Big Box electronics stores, I finally settled on the 40XBR9 and bought it from an Amazon seller — and could not be more pleased with my selection. The picture quality is simply riveting. The menus are reasonably user friendly and I have not found it all that difficult to calibrate for optimum results in a softly lighted room. With minor tweaking, the factory defaults work well for most cable television programming. I used the CNET suggested calibration for movies on the 52XBR9, and it works very well on this 40 inch unit.

This is a beautiful television. The bezel is as slim as they come and is an unadorned, moderately glossy black. While it is not a small television, it is not too overbearing for a medium sized bedroom or office. Considering its slender bezel, and the fact that there are no visible speakers, the sound is more than adequate for watching most TV programming. I purchased a ZVOX 525 sound base and an OPPO blu ray player to go with it. I have yet to watch a blu ray disc, but upscaled DVDs like Ratatouille and Wall-E are incredibly crisp, vivid and detailed, with wonderfully natural color, deep, pure blacks and brilliant whites and grey tones. With sound from the ZVOX, this is a wonderful way to enjoy movies in a moderate sized room without an enormous investment of time and money and without a lot of wiring and equipment monopolizing the space.

The one down side is that the XBR9 is not very forgiving of poor quality source material. My local cable provider still offers a limited selection of true HD content. SD television does not fare well on this set, although with some tweaks you can get acceptable picture quality — ratchet down the sharpness so the poor resolution is not obvious, use a 4:3 aspect ratio rather than ‘stretch’ the image to fill the screen, so the perspective is not distorted, turn down the brightness and restrict the color range to avoid the exaggerated and artificial hues that seem to be part and parcel of SD TV, and you get a reasonable picture on par with a decent CRT. But once you’ve seen good quality 16:9 HDTV content, you will be somewhat disappointed with SD sources.

This competes head to head with the high end LCD and “LED” TVs from Samsung. I think it beats them for at least two reasons. First, the Samsung models have a very glossy, “wet look” screen, which is really a distraction. Under some conditions, it gives the picture more “pop,” but except in a darkened room, the glare problem is insurmountable. Second, the comparable Samsung televisions have wider and more obtrusive bezels with a brilliant piano black finish, which is made even more garish by Samsung’s somewhat ludicrous red “Touch of Color” gimmickry. The Samsung design is like over the top prom wear. The 40XBR9 is the electronics version of the perfect, simple and refined little black dress.

Prices seem to fluctuate wildly — the prices quoted on the date of this review are about 15% higher than they were when I made my purchase ten days ago. You may want to keep an eye on the market and catch the next wave of “sales.” But you won’t buy this TV because it is an inexpensive “bargain” — you may buy it because dollar for dollar, it will give you the most pleasure during the years it will be in service.

TWO MONTHS LATER: Having now had the opportunity to use my Sony 40XBR9 to watch post-season baseball in HD, as well as a number of blu-ray discs, I remain as pleased with my purchase as ever. This has transformed the way we watch movies and cable programming at home. I added a Harmony One remote to the system to avoid the remote control shuffle required to operate the blu-ray player, Zvox, cable box and Sony in tandem. It all works nicely and with a minimum of effort.

XBR9 40″ Review. Do I prefer Plasma? Yes.4
BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE: I recommend you to upgrade your TV firmware / software as soon you receive it.[...]
Trying to get a internet cable to the TV will be a difficult task of more cases, I used an internet bridge or game adaptor that gives you the get wireless and have a cable to connect to the tv.
See it @ amazon.com:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_e_1_8?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=gaming+adapter+wireless&sprefix=gaming+a

This TV is good but it has a few glitches. I changed my Sony Plasma TV for this new XBR9 expecting the best of Sony, but everything that shines is not gold.
1. First and foremost, the side view angle of this TV is really low, you will not see a good resolution from a side view and it gets worst if watching regular 480i TV programming.
2. It has a lot of features: Internet browser, the possibility of download movies, listening to your music, photo viewer, weather on screen, etc. It is simple amazing. 100% the best.
3. When watching sports ON HD, this TV excels!
4. 240 MHz, fast as lightning.
5. HDMI galore connections plus 2 composites and one S-video or regular video. Also, one to connect your PC and use the TV as a monitor.
6. Sounds quality, good but I’d recommend adding a Bose speaker system.
7. Slow start, really slow…but I think, even Sony has to do its part for earth and following energy guidelines, remember your TV, DVD, phone charger will consume energy when not been used.
Important: Before buying for any Amazon sellers, CHECK THE RETURNING POLICY ON TVs.

Best value around5
I went through many days of researching consumer reports and other websites before picking this TV. I understand where some people have their issues with interface and the sound but I have a small condo (900 sq ft) in San Diego. Hooking it up to my over the air antenna I get 30 stations (digital ones are so clear they blow cable away!). The sound is perfectly fine for my room at 20 (*the tv goes up to 75…so it will be more than loud enough for a regular room). The picture quality is stunning.

The only downside I would warn someone is that I also have a bluray player and if you watch a great movie with lots of CGI special effects you will now be able to tell without any effort that it’s CGI (computer generated images). Watching GI Joe was great fun but the special effects jumped out at you so much it was obvious. If you watch something like WallE you won’t have that problem.

I don’t think I can waste money going to a movie theater now since my at home experience will be so much superior thanks to this amazing TV. If you use the Amazon on demand of Netflix (coming soon they say) you’ll need a 10mps download speed. I turned off the glowing SONY logo, which looks great as long as you’re not watching a movie, without a problem (three clicks) and use the TV Guide service (free) and love it! I was considering the 120hz one and and so glad I spent the extra on the 240hz – you will too!

Customer Reviews

Amazing Picture for a great price.5
This is my third LCD set. The first being a 32″ Sharp Aquos 720p (touted to be the best at the time of that purchase). The second being a 40″ Sony V2500 1080p unit. This third being the 40″ XBR7. Oh my have things changed over the years.

In the comparison of apples to apples (V-series from 2 years back against the current XBR7), the difference in picture quality is amazing. The color contrast is better (without the need to be in ‘torch mode’), and the “blurring” is almost gone.

If I am comparing the unit to another, please assume it’s the Sony KDL-40V2500 unit unless otherwise specified.

Menus:
The XMB menu system is great. There is a bit of lag when switching from category to category though. It’s just in the animation. The function isn’t hindered. The adjustments (that make everyone’s heads spin) have some added comments to help you decide which setting is best. It’s a nice added feature, but I would still use the best tool to adjust the set: your eyes. Many home theater “elites” will criticize all of the added “picture enhancers” Sony has added. I would ignore their advice of “turn if all off” and simply adjust the set to what looks best to you. Of course, a simple calibration baseline does do wonders: Digital Video Essentials: HD Basics [Blu-ray]

The HD content has a more crisp and clear look to it. The “MotionFlow” should be either set to Off or “Standard”, as the “High” setting is a bit dizzying. It gives a smooth “flowing” visual effect which makes content look great OR horrible (depends on your eyes and personal preference). Many movies (HBO HD, 1080i broadcast, I think) look fantastic. It’s almost as clear as having the actual BluRay. The SD content PQ has slightly improved, but nothing amazing.

Source: Playstation 3 (60 gb Launch model) – Connected via HDMI to Denon Receiver “Pure Mode” (bypasses any receiver processing), then to TV
Stunning. That is the word that best describes the quality. The first thing I watched after setting up the TV was Batman: The Dark Knight. The detail in the dark scenes were quite impressive. Most LCDs will produce a very dark gray since it’s near impossible to reproduce black. This unit get’s VERY damn close in my opinion. Details can actually be seen in the dark scenes now (the V2500… couldn’t distinguish much). Film content (24p) is best viewed with MotionFlow OFF. With the feature on, it looks like the main subject(s) on the screen are slightly popping out from the rest of the scene. It’s an interesting look, but it’s not for me.

When gaming, there is no motion blur (1080p and 720p) that I noticed. The V2500 had some blur issues. The colors are crisp and vibrant. Details can be seen even in the darkest of rooms. This is definitely a noteworthy contender if gaming is the main function of this TV.

Intel on-board graphics test… will test ATI Graphics at a later date
Everything looked fine. I was running the native resolution for the notebook’s screen (1600 by 1050, or something in that ballpark). The text was easy to read. I haven’t been able to do full resolution (1920×1080), but will try the next time I connect it.

Overall, this is a great unit. There were very little gripes I had about the unit. It’s near flawless. Some say the XBR6 quality is the same. I unfortunately didn’t have the luxury of a XBR6 and XBR7 side by side for a true comparison. To save a few bucks, I’d recommend checking out the XBR6 also. The only difference that MIGHT exist is a 8bit (XBR6) versus 10bit (XBR7) panel… but Sony never indicates what the XBR6 actually has. Rumors have it that they both use 10bit panels and it’s just hidden in the XBR6 documentation so the XBR7 will have a larger arsenal to market with.

The television set I’ve been waiting for all my life…5
I’ve held off on buying a 1080P set until I could get what I wanted, and not just get what was just within my generally limited price range. My spouse set the size limit at 40″ because of the room size (I would have pushed for a 46″ but in marriage you have to choose your battles…) When I’ve gone to Costco or Best Buy the Sony Bravia XBR series has always stood out. Since my television sets generally last me 15-20 years, I wanted the most up-to-date version of the best I could get.

The color and definition of what I have seen on the set so far are wonderful. Razor-sharp imagery has always been important to me, both in my years as a film exhibitor and as a photographer. One of the first things I checked out on the new set is one of the “Planet Earth” Blu-Ray discs — dependably gorgeous and detailed. Next, a Blu-Ray disc of 1938 “The Adventures of Robin Hood”. The definition holds in the action scenes when men and horses are streaming across the screen, while the sense of dimensionality is frequently beyond what would have been technically possible with the best film printing and exhibition at the time the film was made. Then I looked at a standard definition disc of an early 1940s comedy (Criterion’s edition of “Heaven Can Wait”); the upscaled presentation on this television set is beautiful. I grew up on nitrate prints from the UCLA film archive; for the first time since then I feel like I can see film imagery with a comparable (or better) sharpness and luster. As great as this set will be for HBO High Definition broadcasts and Blu-Ray discs, this is also a cinephile’s dream television set for something like the new Fox release of Murneau and Borzage silent films due out next week.

I’m thrilled. This was worth the wait.

Awesome!4
Everyone seem to start a review with ” i don’t usually write reviews” but honestly i don’t.
I am an IT guy and i love electronics. Music and tv are my passion and this is why i decided to write about this tv, because i care.
Now as far as the 40-xbr7
Looks: Wow the most gorgeous, slickest TV i have ever seen.
Sound: Great sound even though i am planning to get a high end surround system later on this year.
Picture quality: I am very happy with the deep levels of black on this set. I like the work that 120hz does with the 3 different types of settings it has ( even though you can’t chose a 120Hz ON or OFF option per say)I have ATT U-Verse which i absolutely despise and i think offers the worst quality of picture to day and i can’t wait to change it. Having that said, the xbr7 has a ten times better quality then the 37″ Visio that i have right next to it.
Overall positives: Great deep black levels, unbelievably warm colors, tons of options to adjust the quality of the picture, excellent gui etc etc.
Negatives: there is white “halo” on both top corners of the TV when changing channels and the screen is all black. This got me worried in the beginning and i hope it will not get worst in the future but for now it is just a minor detail. ( i don’t know if the warranty will cover it or not”
Would i recommend it to a friend?
Yes i would.
Would i recommend it to a family member?
Of course i would.

Conclusion: Overall a great TV that does a very good job with regular channels and a superb job with HD channels. For the amount of $ that i purchased the TV it is well worth it. Ah and one more time: if you learn anything from this review besides the fact that this TV is just as good as it looks, Learn from my mistake and don’t get ATT U-verse because you will definitely regret it.

———
Update:
I have had the TV for few months now and it has surpassed my expectations. My primary objective was to find a tv that will do a good job at non HD channels and boy did i find one. I changed the Cable provider and now i have Cox. What can i say i still keep on smiling when i look at every channel wether it is HD or not because the quality is just superb.
Even the “Halos” “Clouds” they just disappeared and i have not seen them for over a month now. I would definitely give it a 5 star without any hesitation.
I love this TV and i would not hesitate to buy it again in a heartbeat and i am glad i stuck with Sony brand.
