Sony KDL52W4100 Review
I bought this LCD TV in January 2009 and have found it to be an a really good buy.
A couple reviews said that the television has problems while the black shades are varying. I looked at this in the store for couple of minutes and have used it for a one month and now I can say for sure that my TV doesn’t have that problem. This is a super sharp TV with superior colors and deep black tones. This tv Set is so much better than the old Sony model from the same W series.
Here is why you should buy this television. It has a very perfect image in digital broadcast and is doing a flawless job in SD transmission better than any other televisions I have used. For that it’s respossible a great technology from Sony named DSP which is essentially noise reduction technology. Sony is familiar with Blu-ray because they invented it, they are familiar what color tones should appear I mean they own a movie studio, the tv menus are actually comfortable to use, it has a built in TV guide and it has future expansion capability.
Picture quality is really near Samsung in HD. I looked at both televisions side by side. Samsung is a bit better on sharpnes in standard definition. Samsung has more glare, Sony has a matte cover but darks on Samsung are solid because of the glossy screen. While watching a Blu-ray disc,Sony has a bit more details. No fade from bright to black problems on Sony as some reviews has noted. Colors are nice and rich as Sony Bravia 2 engine is outstanding, maybe even better than XBR engine.I’ve found that the Z series is better but there isn’t 52 inche models
Tv menus on Samsung televisons are made for experts with a lots of tweeks, but really it’s clouded for average user. If you doubt that, download the user manual for the Samsung LN52A650 and for Sony KDL524100 and see the difference. If you are technical expert, then buy LN52A650. If you don’t like to mess around, but you want an outstanding image, take the Sony. Ths Sony TV is very simple to use, but also it automatically finds digital channels and is like you have built in cable box.
The Sony television doesn’t have the Ethernet connector and built in weather like the series 6 from Samsung, but it does have the built in TV guide and option for upgrades. But, if you want internet in your TV, you are better to be connected through other device. The TV guide option in this television is outstanding and the Sony Bravia Sync is nice particularly if you are using a Sony DVD converter for 1080p. Picture in Picture technology is super as well because it’s allowing you to watch picture from HDMI and at the same time watch cable TV.
A favorite feature on Sony KDL52W4100 is the power button on the top side as this is preventing children from shuting down televison. Also a good thing is the remote on the Sony as it is quite simple to use.
In the end, if you want the a super clear image, easy to use LCD TV with features that makes usuall television watching enjoyable and simple.This Sony KDL52W4100 is outstanding selection.
