4.0 out of 5 stars
Good value for the money. Great picture. Good Sound., January 19, 2009
This review is from: (Refurbished) Sony Bravia 46" 120Hz Motionflow 1080P LCD HDTV (Electronics)
This is a very good television with many options for expandability. The four HDMI ports are extremely useful and made hooking up my component add ons a breeze. I attached a DISH DVR, a DVD/VCR combo, a DVD player, a Blu-Ray player, and an A/V receiver -- and it was an absolute delight to find all of them worked perfectly with the Sony. The 120hz picture makes fast action scenes a pleasure: no blur. And, the 1080p shows up as such for viewing Blu-Ray discs. There is, occasionally, visible pixeling for certain scenes -- although they are hard to describe. The sound is the one disappointment that keeps me from giving this a higher rating; to hear clearly from the television speakers, the volume must be turned up to uncomfortably high levels. Using external speakers is the only way to go with this baby. The remote control is easy to use and handles all needed actions. Setup is a breeze. This model is available at high discounts from many places. I got mine at CostCo and have not felt cheated. You will, I believe, find this model -- with most of the latest technical improvements (alas, it does not have 240hz refresh)-- to be good value for the money. My only regret is not getting the 52 inch model; it, however, is overpriced in my opinion.

Sony's Bravia KDL-46WL140 W series Full HD 1080p HDTV, May 1, 2009
This review is from: (Refurbished) Sony Bravia 46" 120Hz Motionflow 1080P LCD HDTV (Electronics)
We've only had this for a few days, but couldn't be more happy about our purchase. We upgraded from a 32" Westinghouse, and the picture improvement is beyond words. Watching blu-ray had almost a 3D effect given vivid mode, 1080P, 120Hz, and our Playstation 3 which supports the 24P mode.
Have watched in direct sunlight and darkened room, with no issues on visibility of the screen. I don't have the sound issues others have stated, but I only use the TV sound for the Internet broadcasts (have regular sound going through an Onkyo receiver).
We attached the included Internet device not expecting much, but were pleasantly surprised by the various internet "channels" available. Tested the HD download from Amazon (an Ironman trailer) and it looked great. We have 15mbps FIOS, so thoughput doesn't appear to have any issues.
Other channels beyond Amazon's video download (which you can link with your Bravia account for easy purchase) are CBS (with most of their TV lineups available), SI, a trailer channel, and many others (about 20 in all upon its initial search. I haven't experimented with adding anything yet, as I'm curious how hulu will work with this.
Overall, a great TV at a great price from Costco. A 2 year warranty tops off the package well.

great value for the price, February 1, 2009
This review is from: (Refurbished) Sony Bravia 46" 120Hz Motionflow 1080P LCD HDTV (Electronics)
I purchased this tv at Sam's club on black Friday and couldn't be happier. The price was 1348.00. The tv came with internet hardware which I still haven't connected, I bought it to watch tv not some goof on u-tube. The menu on the tv is very simple to use and takes no time at all to start watching your favorite shows in HD. The picture is great along with very good sound. If you find one buy one.
