Kudos to Amazon!January 7, 2009 I ordered the Sony KDL-52W4100 on a Monday. it was delivered Thursday afternoon - and I paid $0 shipping - as well as $0 sales tax - over a $200 savings combined. Amazon's price was the same as the big box retailers in my area. But, in addition to the sales tax issue, neither of the local outlets had the TV in stock. That meant waiting on shipment anyway - and they wanted to charge me a shipping/delivery fee.
As for quality, I buy Sony for a reason. This TV doesn't disappoint me at all. The picture is spectacular! I have it connected to a DirecTV HD receiver, but am currently only receiving my local channels in HD. The HD channels are brilliant - but even the non-HD satellite channels are incredible.
I found the TV easy to set up. The onscreen menus were easy to follow. I haven't begun to dig into the more advanced features - I'm still enjoying the amazing quality of Sony combined with HDTV. I bought this model mainly for the 120HZ Motionflow technology. I turned it on during setup - and haven't yet turned the feature off to compare the difference between 120HZ and 60HZ.
If you want quality, buy Sony. If you want to be amazed, buy the KDL-52W4100. If you want a good deal, buy from Amazon.
Sony Bravia 52"January 6, 2009 Wow! We love the TV. The menus are a little tricky at first (reading the manual helped!) but otherwise we couldn't be happier.
Great product by sonyJanuary 6, 2009 I'd start with why I gave only 4 star. Well, the product was supposed to arrive on the 8th, but it arrived the day after. When there's no other TV at home, it makes a diffrence. The TV itself has great picture. I find that you have to readjust the picture, as it is set for a store with lots of light, where at home usually this is not the case. So either use vivid, or use custom. Sound is brilliant, and the menus are quite easy to get the hangon.
LOVE ITJanuary 6, 2009 I love this TV, it's huge and the picture is beautiful. Great Sony quality. We don't buy anything else anymore.
Beautiful picture, beautiful priceJanuary 5, 2009 This Sony television, in my opinion, has all of the highest qualities that I was looking for in an LCD TV. I have noticed the greatness of the 120 Mhz motionflow in comparison to the 60 Mhz televisions, especially when playing an action movie or an action game on PS 3.
This thing has 4 HDMI inputs as well. LCD backlighting was not really a big selling point for me and frankly I don't think it justifies the price increase.
Overall, I'm very happy with this beautiful picture.
