On hold for service
Love my sony Purchased this in March 2009 for bedroom. Was easy to set up and install channels from Comcast. Had no problems. I have on fireplace mantel and it fits fine. I've not dabbled in a lot of the features and settings as I'm a basic user. There's a slight delay in turning on and showing the picture which just takes some getting use to. The sound is great. I don't notice any picture change from different angles however I view fairly head on. The only thing I still don't like is the use of the remote control.
Don't Trust Sony Warranty I purchased this TV
Died in less than 2.5 years I bought the TV in April 2009. I will say I was generally happy with it. Had to play with the antenna sometimes to get the reception which was a bit strange since I live within a few miles of the transmitters but others have told me that is a problem with digital TVs. I also don't think the design of the remote is very user friendly but I made do.The big problem just happened Sept 2011 less than 2.5 years the TV just died as I was watching it. No picture no sound an LED blinks that searching the web means some type of short circuit. Sony support via online chat could only tell me to take it to a repair place. The closest authorized one wants $75 just for an estimate.
Great picture in brightly lit room Wanted a small HDTV that would fit in a cabinet opening finally settled on this Sony Bravia 720p with some trepidation as I have a 1080p set from another brand in the living room and thought that the picture quality might be less than I was becoming accustomed to. Turns out I didn't need to worry the picture is beautiful sharp and clear. Seems every bit as realistic as the 1080p Sharp Aquos in the other room.The room it sits in gets a lot of sunlight but the picture is bright and colorful and unaffected unless we open the blinds and put sunlight directly on the screen. I like the favorites setting and the unit is fairly easy to operate. If I could figure out how to make the remote also control my Dish unit it would be even easier to operate. Nothing really to complain about with this HDTV.
Great TV!!! It's a Sony so it's automatically a good product. Purchase it for $100.00 cheaper than in stores.
Recurring problem with Bravias This is a nice TV great for general use for the most part. The one issue that it fails at and on epic proportions is the internal computer. I have a recurring problem with two different bravias but I'm only writing the review for this one. The entire screen will dim when a dark scene is present. If you're watching Star Wars and the screen is showing a picture of space the dark picture will cause the tv to dim the entire screen. You've no idea how maddening this is. So beware. Sony makes other good TVs but after the runaround I got from support my suggestion is to stay clear of this one.
It Works For Me My husband and I purchased this TV way back in 07/2008. Out of curiosity I decided to look it up on here. I was reading this one and two star reviews and I am baffled. It's worked just fine for us. Great in fact. No problems with itor hardly any. The sound is fine plenty loud even too loud at times. My one and only complaint is that we recently noticed this weird dark line towards the center of the screen. It appeared when my husband was trying to fix the picture so it fit the screen. A problem I blame on my cable not my TV as it started the picture not fitting after I had an issue with my cable box and rebooted it. Then suddenly the picture wasn't fitting there was dark empty space all around. Well my husband came home recently and decided on a lark to attempt to fix it.
Its A Good TV Nicely priced TV for sonyit works pretty well. It has a good selection of inputs on the back including 2 component rows.2 HDMI and 2 Composite/RCA.The only things wrong with it though is there is no optical digital audio plug and the tv takes like 20 seconds to boot upand there's an annoying feature i think its supposed to be energy efficient but the tv darkens slightly when you turn out the lights making whats going on look a little less visible.
Sony Bravia KDL26M4000 great for its size and price Too bad Sony is not selling the 26 television sets anymore. This size is the best for a small studio or apartment. The KDL26M4000 is one of the best featured Sony television sets to date. I purchased this model from Amazon.com at the beginning of 2009 few months before the digital broadcasting switch. At the same time I switched from cable subscription to the overtheair antenna. As such this Sony TV set model has behaved flawlessly. To overcome the weak sound issue I hooked a wireless headphones set and/or a simple and affordable stereo set of speakers with great success.The only important trouble coming to this and maybe other Sony Bravia models set is when one scans or rescans for broadcast channels during or after completion of scanning the TV set is freezing to the point where no options buttons will respond.I did freaked out thinking that's it! I am without TV now. Went outside took a walk trying to figure it out My room antenna is routed via the DVD player into the TV set.
