"Sony's Bravia KDL-46WL140 W series Full HD 1080p HDTV" 2009-05-01By
G. Bojo (Harrisburg, Pa)
We've only had this for a few days, but couldn't be more happy about our purchase. We upgraded from a 32" Westinghouse, and the picture improvement is beyond words. Watching blu-ray had almost a 3D effect given vivid mode, 1080P, 120Hz, and our Playstation 3 which supports the 24P mode.
Have watched in direct sunlight and darkened room, with no issues on visibility of the screen. I don't have the sound issues others have stated, but I only use the TV sound for the Internet broadcasts (have regular sound going through an Onkyo receiver).
We attached the included Internet device not expecting much, but were pleasantly surprised by the various internet "channels" available. Tested the HD download from Amazon (an Ironman trailer) and it looked great. We have 15mbps FIOS, so thoughput doesn't appear to have any issues.
Other channels beyond Amazon's video download (which you can link with your Bravia account for easy purchase) are CBS (with most of their TV lineups available), SI, a trailer channel, and many others (about 20 in all upon its initial search. I haven't experimented with adding anything yet, as I'm curious how hulu will work with this.
Overall, a great TV at a great price from Costco. A 2 year warranty tops off the package well.
"Bravo to Bravia" 2009-02-01By

For the last six weeks, we have enjoyed having Sony's Bravia KDL-46WL140 W series Full HD 1080p HDTV grace the wall of the family room, a spot previously hidden by a large wooden media cabinet that contained a 37" JVC CRT TV. The contrast in clarity and sharpness between the two TVs is amazing, and the Sony's crystal clear picture on HD TV shows just how much technology has changed in just nine years.
Before buying this model, I was looking for a flat screen with plenty of HDMI inputs (not that we need them now, but in three years, who knows?), a TV that itself was not ugly or overstated (didn't want any touches of red or other colors as I was not buying a car), and a TV that would make me stop and stare at the picture. A bit of research preceded my expedition to find the right TV (we were saving change for quite some time), and this model was the one I kept coming back to at the large consumer club where I bought it. The other TVs, all getting their feed from the same in-store source and all subject to the same harsh overhead lighting, all paled in comparison. (Plus, this was the last one in the store, showing that I was not alone in my opinion.)
We installed this 46 inch on a Sanus rack, and actually our measuring was the most time-consuming part of the installation. The set up menus were easy to follow, and the we had the TV up and running in about 30 minutes. We have tried out some of the options, and after some initial tweaking in the deeper levels of the menus, have not tended to leave the settings as is. I suspect once we add a blu-ray DVD player, we will need to reexamine the options.
It took a bit longer for me to figure out all the inputs and get the surround sound working through my older non-HDMI receiver, but I agree with others, that the TV's sound is a bit anemic, and the added muscle from surround sound really enhances movies and concerts.
Guests have all commented on the quality of the picture and the size of the 46 inch screen. For us, this is plenty of TV, and we should be "future proof" for a few years yet. I have not yet hooked up the Internet component (though it is installed) but plan to run an ethernet cable directly from a router to the TV in the next few weeks.
"great value for the price" 2009-02-01By
ARCHIE (Pittsburgh, Pa)
I purchased this tv at Sam's club on black Friday and couldn't be happier. The price was 1348.00. The tv came with internet hardware which I still haven't connected, I bought it to watch tv not some goof on u-tube. The menu on the tv is very simple to use and takes no time at all to start watching your favorite shows in HD. The picture is great along with very good sound. If you find one buy one.
"Good value for the money. Great picture. Good Sound." 2009-01-20By

This is a very good television with many options for expandability. The four HDMI ports are extremely useful and made hooking up my component add ons a breeze. I attached a DISH DVR, a DVD/VCR combo, a DVD player, a Blu-Ray player, and an A/V receiver -- and it was an absolute delight to find all of them worked perfectly with the Sony. The 120hz picture makes fast action scenes a pleasure: no blur. And, the 1080p shows up as such for viewing Blu-Ray discs. There is, occasionally, visible pixeling for certain scenes -- although they are hard to describe. The sound is the one disappointment that keeps me from giving this a higher rating; to hear clearly from the television speakers, the volume must be turned up to uncomfortably high levels. Using external speakers is the only way to go with this baby. The remote control is easy to use and handles all needed actions. Setup is a breeze. This model is available at high discounts from many places. I got mine at CostCo and have not felt cheated. You will, I believe, find this model -- with most of the latest technical improvements (alas, it does not have 240hz refresh)-- to be good value for the money. My only regret is not getting the 52 inch model; it, however, is overpriced in my opinion.
