Sony Bravia XBR-Series KDL-40XBR4 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV

I have always purchased Sony TVs, even since my family got its first Trinitron. The Sonys are always a notch above other TVs, which is why they cost more. That being said this might be the cream of the crop when it comes to TVs. Get this TV and you can literally tell your friends that your TV is better than their's, sight unseen. They might hate you for it until they come over and see it for themselves.
The images are sharp, as you would expect them to be. Going to the store to see it doesn't give it justice until you lower the brightness and the contrast on the TV. Because stores always blast all the settings to full, distorting the picture into some super bright blob. Get it home, calibrate it to the proper contrast and brightness settings and then sit back and enjoy. The picture will blow you away.

Whoever Amazon used to deliver this TV is a joke. They changed the delivery time 4 times (after i organized to stay at home from work to meet them). The delivery guy on the phone was rude and had the IQ of a 4 year old (no offense kiddies) - when he could understand English. They had no idea what they were doing when they delivered the TV. I've bought from Best Buy before and their delivery guys were great. I saved money on the TV with Amazon but at what cost? I cringe to think the mess that will be created if i need to return the TV or get service on it.
Come on Amazon, where do you find these clowns???????

My Sony XBR 40" LCD TV is a superior setSony Bravia XBR-Series KDL-40XBR4 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV. And Amazon was the absolute best way to pay and ship it.

One word to describe this Sony HDTV...AMAZING. The picture quality will be like nothing you've ever seen. The aesthetics of the TV is absolutely gorgeous. The sound is good, but you would be doing yourself an injustice if you didn't get a nice sound system with this TV. I am extremely pleased overall with this TV.

One minor gripe I have about this TV, however, is the fan noise in the back. I knew about this issue before I bought the TV and it's unnoticeable when you're watching TV since it's just a small buzzing noise. You would really only notice it when shuffling through the inputs when there is absolutely no sound coming from your TV or if you were to put the TV on mute.

This is TRULY a TOP of the LINE television from sony in terms of performance. The HDTV is UNREAL. When I first ordered an HD movie on demand I was FLOORED by the 1080P picture. INCREDIBLE. Hooked up Xbox 360 and was amazed at the quality. Incredible TV,
