5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, simple to set up tv, September 7, 2008

This review is from: Sony Bravia M-Series KDL-19M4000 19-Inch 720p LCD HDTV, Black (Electronics)

This tv is beautiful and easy to set up.The worst of it is that it's best viewed when fully vertical, and the prop in the back isn't long enough for that, so I needed a piece of wood under it to raise it. It doesn't have its verticality worked out - unless you mount it on a wall. It has outlets and inlets for seemingly any device, and suggests hookups. It's been a daily part of my life for a month, and it's beautiful, and easy to control and hook up. I would highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love It!!!!, December 19, 2008

This is a great little TV! It took me 10 minutes to set up, and I have had no problems. I could see how some people might think the instructions are confusing, especially if you have a complcated set up. The picture is great. I have it sitting on my kitchen counter using the little stand provided, and I have no problems with instability or the vewing angle.

This review is from: Sony Bravia M-Series KDL-19M4000 19-Inch 720p LCD HDTV, Black (Electronics)

This television has some great features and some which are not-so-great.

THE GOOD:

Construction: This TV is sturdy - about 5 lbs heavier than competing 19 inch LCD TVs. That's a plus - this is the third 19 inch LCD I have purchased (having returned the other two) and this is, far and away, the best built 19" on the market. Less cheap plastic.

Sound: The sound quality is outstanding. Many 19" LCDs have audio with a "tinny" quality. The speakers on this TV blow away the competition, hands down. You will not confuse this with a Bose home theater system, but the sound is surprisingly good.

THE O.K:

Picture: As a general rule, the smaller the LCD, the less of a difference HD makes. So, the picture on any 19" 720p model will be far less stunning that what you'd see on a 40" 1080p. That said, the picture on the Sony Bravia 19" is between decent and good. The picture on the Samsung LN19A450 19" is noticeably better. However, the Samsung is full of cheap plastic and the sound is tinny. Other than the Samsung, I think the picture on the 19" Sony Bravia is at least equal to any other 19" on the market

THE BAD:

Aesthetics: This is one ugly little TV. The front panel is black and the sides and back are white (or, in the alternate versions, the front panel is white and the side and back are a gaudy color such as pink, orange or lime green). The two tones are awful and distracting. Furthermore, the TV has an ugly shopping-bag-like handle that protrudes from the back of the TV and is visible while watching the television. Also, the base of the TV is not a pedestal like other models. It resembles the back of a picture frame. This unit will never win any beauty contests. I seriously wonder what the people at Sony were thinking when they came up with this. I think this is my biggest gripe with the TV.

Some reviewers have complained about the base of the TV. If that is your only concern, do not let the base prevent you from buying the TV. It is sturdy and I have no fears that my TV will fall over - either forward or backward.

Finally, I also own 32" and 40" Sony Bravias and, quality-wise, I think Sony TVs stand out among the competition. That said, the 19" version has its flaws. However, Sonys TVs are reliable and the sound on this little TV is great. 3 1/2 stars.
