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

By	Paulfolio (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

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

By	Country Blue (Texas) - See all my reviews

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

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for the Money, January 19, 2009

By	C. K. lau "CKL" (Mukilteo, WA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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

I bought this TV at a Sony Store "On sale" for $259, brand new.
After hooking it up, I was a bit disappointed with the picture quality but decided to keep it anyway.

The Pros:
Beautiful styling, compact, light weight and (cheap)
The picture quality form analog channels appear almost the same as the digital channels. Colors are vivid with little noise....... It has tons of inputs including HDMI, PC, RGB, etc....

The Cons:
The problem is the picture quality from the digital channels are not really that good, (like I said, they are similar to the analog channels.) Colors are smeared and blotchy and appeared to have been highly "processed" by the Bravia Engine. There is little or no tonal detail or gradation in any image. The noise reduction is so strong that all details are wiped out, even the HD channels have a harsh, artificial look to it. No amount of adjustment in the picture controls yield anything as good as my Sharp Aquos with a side by side comparison off the same cable feed.
Using an HDMI feed from a Upscaling Samsung Player, the DVD quality is again soft and lacking in detail, certainly not at par with the Sharp. It looks best at 720p even though it claims to do 1080i. I did not try it with Blue ray.
Using the PC input was the biggest disappointment. I tried 2 PCs and a Mac laptop with it but The screen will support only up to a 1024x768 resolution, pretty low for a 19 inch screen. Forget connecting a PC to it as a monitor screen.
I tried using the antenna with the built in ATSC tuner but was not able to get any decent channels in my area.

To be fair, it is better than my 4 year old 480p Samsung at half the price. View from 5 feet or more away, the picture is pretty good.
Overall I give it 3 stars, recommended only if less than $300.
