Great TV, best viewing angle in class May 22, 2008 16 out of 16 found this review helpful
I just bought this TV and am very happy with my decision. The picture is sharp and contrasty (though component input isn't perfect), sound quality is OK and features are more than plenty for my purpose. I especially like the selection of inputs and the ability to relay audio out to my stereo. But the clincher for me was the viewing angle: It is much better than the Samsung 26A450, which is the main competitor in terms of image quality (face-on the Samsung seems a little better). We have the TV set on a shelf, higher than the seating position, and there is literally no difference in picture for a large range in vertical (and horizontal) viewing angles. There is no discernible color shift or shadow loss, both of which are clearly visible for most of the competition. This suggests to me that this TV is using a high quality S-IPS panel, though it might be hard to believe at this price point.
Good, Low End TV August 7, 2008 9 out of 9 found this review helpful
From my experiance, Sony is the only brand TV to buy. I am satified with the quality of the picture and the viewing angle. My only gripe is that it doesn't accept discrete codes to change inputs, which means I ending up not using the tuner on the TV and had to run everyhing through one S-Video cable from my Entertainment System. My good old VCR is the tuner for this TV. There are way too many inputs for the remote to correctly select the right one in a timely manner. If there is an "S" version out by the time you read this review, I would recommed going up a notch!
REALLY LIKE THIS TV August 15, 2008 9 out of 9 found this review helpful
While a 26" screen may not sound impressive, it certainly seems a lot bigger in the living room. What's more, it leaves in the dust any analog TV of a similar screen size.
I like its sharp picture, vibrant colors, the design, and various ways it can display the picture and sound. It has a lot of other features (PIP is one) that I haven't quite gotten around to using yet.
The only thing I could wish for is for it to respond quicker when I turn it on and change channels.
All in all, though, I'm very happy with this TV.
First disappointment with Sony July 11, 2008 7 out of 10 found this review helpful
After buying many Sony products over the years, I find this KDL26M4000 wholly undeserving of Sony's respect for quality. The screen colors are next to impossible to stabilize, the sound volume so weak it requires full volume for adequate hearing, and the viewing angle less than optimal. True, I'm a senior with fundamental deficiencies, the major one being the inability to handle the stress of tech support or packaging and returning the unit.
Excellent TV for the price July 15, 2008 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
like all Sony Displays of good Bravia line you will not be disappointed in the quality of the picture you get out of this set also bonus about this pitucular set even though it is listed as a 720p it can and will display 1080i which means it will give you a 1920X1080 interlaced HD picture perfect for all of the HD Broadcast currently on the market. My only nick pick about this TV is the Vivid color sensor, when set the TV to this mode you will get the most vibrant colors out of this display. However when screen has a lot of dark shades or even black it fades down to the colors you get in Cinema mode, other than that it is golden .
