Sony KDL-52V4100

With the vast number of HDTVs coming out in the market today, it’s pretty confusing for a buyer to pick out the best buy. Quality and technology-wise, there are several top-notch HDTVs vying for a slice of the market but not all are packed with the dynamic combination of elegance and cutting edge technology such as the Sony KDL52V4100.

Popular Advantage

Although it does not have the high-powered features of the higher-end HDTV units, the 52-inch KDL-52V4100 successful blazes the sales trail hands down because of its affordable price for its size and available features.  The successor of the V2500 is making waves on its own right.

Top Notch Features

Okay, it does not have the more sophisticated hardware for display capability but it still out-distances competition because it gives sharper and clearer images than the average television sets not equipped with 1080p native resolution though it can show standard resolution on the wide LCD screen just as easily.

The KDL-52V4100 is HDTV compatible and offers much sharper and crisper picture details than most units in its price range. Plus, it runs on a Bravia Engine and has a 1080p native resolution that assures quality videos every time hence it is also ideal for viewing DVD movies in 16:9 format.

There is a 3:2 pull-down feature that allows the transfer of motion pictures into DVD format with reduced color artifacting or color blooming such as those irritating artificial layers of green colors on the screen.  The colors seen on the TV screen are as solid and sharp just as those exhibited in pricier HDTVs.

Actual user review:
“Awesome, HUGE TV at a great price. I love this TV. One really neat thing I noticed is that when the ambient light goes up or down in the room, the brightness of the display is dynamically adjusted accordingly. Like I said, awesome.” – R.Ackley (MI, USA)

 

Extra Added Value Appeal

Its Sony XMB interface, advanced PIP (picture in picture) feature and built-in TV-guide for regular cable connection also adds to its appeal. It also comes with a USB connector port at the back for accessing digital content straight from one’s PC, USB, or Digital Camera.

Innovative add-ons such as the Digital Media Extender or DMex provides a digital route for optional modules such as the BRAVIA Internet Video Link and more, thus enhancing this unit’s capability to merge with XMB user interface and will allow for future expansions as well.

Talk about classy looks. Its looks make it perfect for large rooms and fits perfectly in refined or minimalist exteriors, which is a fad today.   The KDL-52V4100 is without a doubt, ahead of its competitors within the similar price range in the market.

No Downside

Amazingly, there is almost no downside to this product apart from the fact that its USB port and other connectors are inconveniently located at the back of the TV set.  But this inconvenience is insignificant when considering the major features that make this Sony BRAVIA line one of the best around – in price and functionality.

Conclusion

For a 52″ HDTV below $1800, the Sony KDL52V4100 is probably the best deal around.  With its pristine image quality and solid construction inside and out, this amazing Sony product redefines value in a HDTV.

• “The Sony 52V4100 is an outstanding LCD for the money. My wife and I went to Best Buy and compared the difference between the W4100 (120hz) and the V4100 (60hz). Nil. We then went to the Samsung display in ‘Best Buy’ that showed the 120hz vs 60hz on the same screen and couldn’t tell much of a difference. That validated our decision to go with the 52V4100. I hooked up the HDMI cable and was very impressed. I also hooked up the PS-3 and was equally impressed. The Sony 52″ V4100 looks great. The sound is pretty good, but a sound system definitely makes it better.” – V. J.Evans (Virginia, USA)
