Sony BRAVIA XBR Series KDL-40XBR9 40-Inch 1080p 240Hz LCD HDTV, Black review

We first bought a 40W4100 and then that night saw the new Sony 40Z5100 on Amazon.com for about $200 more than the older and lower model. So we took the W4100 back and ordered the 40Z5100 and got it before the end of the same week. We love this HDTV. It was simple to set up, and fortunately had the ethernet connection close by. It has great over-the-air HDTV reception (and will easily do if cable goes out) and had no problem with the Comcast HDTV DVR tuner. Unbelievable clarity, color and accuity. No problem with screen reflection next to large windows. And styling is simpler than comparable Samsung with their “Touch of Color”.

We copied photos from the computer to a USB flash memory and it provides for simple viewing of all photos better than a slide projector. Note though that I had to call Sony to figure all this out. The flash drive had to be reformatted as FAT32. Not difficult but not obvious from the directions. I then just copied over the folders and jpg files to the USB flash drive, stuck it in the port on the side, and browsed the input to the port. Instant slide show. You can also add a music source.
