Product Description
Sony's 1080p KDL-52W4100 with Motionflow 120Hz technology doubles the number of existing frames by calculating in real time and inserting 60 entirely new frames between the original 60 frames, this creates a new standard for picture performance, with smooth, lifelike image quality that responds to the demands of even the fastest moving images with ease. Full HD 1080p means the W4100 connections accept 1080p signals and the Display will render that signal in Full HD 1080p. Take full advantage of Blu-ray Disc players and PlayStation(R) 3 systems that can deliver 1080p content. The latest version of Sony's respected BRAVIA Engine fully Digital video processor uses a collection of unique SONY algorithms to significantly reduce noise and produce sharp, vibrant, life-like images. With Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE) you get real-time image processing to dynamically adjust backlight levels for improved Contrast without masking details the filmmaker intended you to see. ACE delivers deep blacks in darker scenes, as well as fine details in shadows and other dark areas of the picture for a difference you can truly see. Add to that unique features like the enhanced Xross Media Bar(TM) with 3D graphics and integrated TV Guide program information, built-in DMeX functionality, and you can see why we call the W-series the new standard in 120Hz performance. Advanced Contrast Enhancer circuit (ACE) BRAVIA Engine fully Digital video processor 24p True Cinema capable DMeX capable New TV Guide IPG New Enhanced (XMB) User Interface with Rich 3D Graphics BRAVIA Sync capable S-Force Front Surround Voice Zoom BRAVIA Theatre Sync capable Dolby Digital V-Chip Parental Control VESA hole spacing compatible Piano Gloss Black color 1-Year Limited Warranty Input Ports - 4 x HDMI (1 Side/3 Rear), RF Connection, 3 x Composite Video (1 Side/2 Rear), S-Video, 2 x Component Video (Y/Pb/Pr) Input, PC in (D-Sub) + Audio

 Just what we expected.. October 6, 2008

We were impressed. We were looking for same equivalent of tv with the Samsung brand..it took us awhile to decide and were so relieved we went with Sony.Whew! Sleek-looking, picture is great, no need to close our windows when watching tv because no more glare!What a difference. This is actually one of the major deciding factor why we went with Sony not Samsung, even though Samsung is a little bit less expensive.
Sony HD is the BEST. September 27, 2008

All my old movies look like High Def. The picture from the Satelite is amazing and Sony is the clearest best picture I have seen in HD. The non HD channels are OK but not great. I think it is because the HD channels are so flawless the regular stations can't compair.
I think the people having trouble are not using good HDMI cables. You don't need the best cables but use good cables.
Best 52" LCD HD-TV for the money September 22, 2008

I did a lot of research when I decided to buy a 52" TV. I'm a student and a part-time salesman at a fortune 100 company in consumer electronics. After weeks or perhaps months of preparation and research I narrowed down my options to the Samsung A750 and the Sony bravia w4100. Now I did have a Samsung A550 and a Sony Trinitron High Def CRT at home and they were both pretty impressive but I figured that Sony does a better job in 52" or larger category after observing the w4100 and a750 for several days at work.
First off lets talk about the screen. The 50'000:1 contrast of the Samsung vs. 30'000:1 contrast ratio of the Sony. The way Samsung measures its contrast ration is radically different from Sony, that is why Samsung never discloses its "TRUE CONTRAST RATIO", but Sony does, in this case it's 3,000:1. Whatever the true contrast ration of Samsung it is not superior to that of Sony's this is something that most experts agree on. It is easy to blast your dynamic contrast ration but not your true contrast. Some claim that the Samsung produces deeper blacks but my answer is that this is due to Samsung's glossy mirrored screen and it has nothing to do with performance. Plus, Samsung manufactures all of Sony LCD screens so in terms of screen capability they are equal. If you have a bright room go for the sony, the screen is slightly brighter and not reflective like the Samy. The backlight for Sony seems to work brighter but its not as evenly distributed as the Samy, this is clear in the dark.
Second factor I checked for was the TV engine. We have the Samsung's Dnie Pro vs. Bravia 2. Well there is no question that bravia 2 is the clear winner here, being utilized by Sony XBR6 and XBR7 which go for about $4000 dollars while the Samsung's DNIE pro is built to compete with the lower end Sony Bravia Engine Pro. Sony's Standard TV quality is excellent and the Samy is just as good but i noticed that Sony's colour was more natural ie. colour of grass in baseball. Also sony covers over %90 of colour Gamut while Samsung covers only %70, this maybe why skin tones and greens look more natural on the Sony.
Next up was refresh rate and here both run at 120 Hz and here Sony has dramatically improved over the XBR4 series in motionflow. Samsung also does really well in 120 Hz category so I say they are both a tie here.
Sound is another important factor for my decision, i blasted the 7 series at work and noticed poor sound quality in extreme volumes while the Sony better retained its quality. However the Samsung was capable of delivering deeper Bass probably due to its built in Subwoofer. Sony allows you to adjust voice volume and enable steady sound to prevent commercials from freaking you out in the middle of your favourite tv shows.
Finally last thing I looked for was design. Samsung 7 series looks fabulous with its glass like frame and a touch of red, but that is the problem for me, "red". I don't fancy a red TV and I think it's one of those fashion trends that would soon be "old fashioned". Sony however retains a more masculin design with fine glossy black frame and metal speakers at the bottom.
Its a pretty close call but having used both Sony and Samsung (sony for longer) i feel that sony is more capable of delivering quality products as most Japanese manufacteres do. Also sony has great customer service vs Samsung i have had a sony TV break once and there was a repair man at my door step in less than 12 hours servicing my TV at home (bulb replacement in a old projection tv). Sony is the innovator here while Samsung is the follower, that's one reason why i chose the sony. Biggest factor for me was the superior Sony TV engine and better design.
Sony is the best your money can buy for a TV overall, as it always has been since the day of Trinitron. I think it is worth the 100 bucks over the A750.

Received the TV in a week and the box was in perfect condition and nothing wrong with the TV from shipping as that was a worry to me that I would receive it damaged and have to do a return so I was happy and the carrier was very careful unloading it in front of me.....Thanks
Great LCD TV September 18, 2008

Picture and sound are great. Lives up to all my expectations. Using it with Comcast CableTV. HDTV crystal clear. Plenty of inputs. TVGuide feature works with cable, but only displays basic channels. I use the TV input (direct cable feed) for live HDTV, rather than the Video (DVR connection) or Component (HDTV and up conversion) inputs that are connected to the cable box.
Quick delivery.
