Customer Reviews
EXCELLENT BUILD QUALITY & PERFORMANCE FROM SONYJonathon
I've had my new Sony KDL-40W600B for months now (I actually have the COSTCO version/same specs almost). This TV is an amazing value when you factor in that a Sony 40-Inch can be found for just $500. With LIMITED-APPS (listen carefully when I say LIMITED as Sony and Amazon are still at odds and there is no Amazon, Amazon Prime Instant, VUDU, HBO-To-Go or M-Go) and built-in Wi-Fi !I was impressed with the build quality right out of the box. Sony has cut a few corners and yet enhanced so many others that this still exceeds anything Samsung or LG could offer.PROS:*Ease of set-up. My 85 year old mom could almost set this up...*Picture depth and color as only Sony can accomplish/great angle viewing*Great but simple remote.*Fabulous SETTINGS in the set itself.*Weight*Speed to process ON/OFF and other functions including sparse APPS*4 HDMI's and 2 USB slots*Not Made In China (my set comes from Mexico)CONS:*Sony has used a 'BRICK' power cord which is far too short and heavy for its power source. Same type found as on many laptops.* USB is 2.0* HDMI slots are positioned poorly* Base STAND is really cheap and unattractive (VESAA is 300X200)* APPS are VERY weak and few for now (Amazon still doesn't function/no Vudu/No M-Go/No HBO-GO).* APPS such as Amazon Prime Instant and VUDU still do not function/COMING SOON is all you will see on-screen. Month-after-month despite promises from Sony.Sony has always been a leader for video and this set prevails. You'll see Samsung or LG building washers and dryers but you'll never see Sony doing the same. They build and focus mostly on video/audio entertainment only.Read more ›
Very happyCharlie
I'm just a regular media consumer...I'm not a picture quality enthusiast, but review websites seem to give this set high marks. I spent a considerable amount of time (too much time, honestly) researching a new TV to purchase. My previous TV was a 32inch Samsung but apparently that size is what people are putting in their bathrooms now. I wanted to get something thinner, lighter, a little bigger, and with a higher resolution. I also wanted to stick with a more reputable brand because of concerns about manufacturing quality and the availability of parts/repair labor if that becomes something I need in the future. The Smart features, particularly Netflix, I will likely use but I'm not particularly interested in them because I already have so many devices that have streaming capabilities (blu ray player, video game consoles, etc.) and those features were not really factored into my purchase decision.This TV is incredibly lightweight (15lb) and was super quick to physically setup (the stand has just two screws if you are planning to use it) and the initial interface setup was also quick. After playing around with some picture tweaking, I am very happy with the picture quality while playing video games and watching TV. I would definitely suggest this TV to others that are looking for a quality TV this size and resolution.
Impressive image quality and valueJuan
I previously had a Samsung UN40ES6580 40 Inch TV with 240Hz refresh rate, with 3D and Skype camera. I like gadgets and features but I found myself paying for a smaller TV for features such a 3D and Skype Camera which I pretty much never used. (who cares about having a Skype camera on a TV when you have cameras in cell phones, tables and computers? What was I thinking when I got tempted by this feature?!). Don't get me wrong, the TV was really good. I even left a review giving it good rating. However I liked the image quality I never could fall in love with it. Specially blacks, I could see some little gray areas in a dark room in some dark scenes which drove me crazy.Now, I switched TVs. Left the toys aside for a bigger screen size and better image quality which I thought Sony was able to provide. And I wasn't wrong and Sony delivers impressive image quality with this TV, even though the refresh rate is lower than the Samsung (so you cannot choose the "soap opera" effect on this TV) which I though I would care or notice but I don'tSumming up, the pros and cons and comparisons with previous TV:Pros:1. Impressive image quality. Specially blacks. Darkest blacks I have seen in any TV I have had.2. It has buttons on the back. The Samsung didn't have any buttons at all (or at least I couldn't find them) (weird)3. Design is truly minimalistic and the borders are really really thin making the TV look more expensive.4. Price. Ridiculously cheap. A 48" Sony TV for $650? I still cannot believe the price. I keep looking to see what is the catch and I don't see any!5. Smart TV. Less Smart and more basic than the Samsung but still good apps6. Media Player / DLNA support.Read more ›
Nice TV with weak internet capabilityAj
Pros: TV has good sound and excellent picture quality. I have used Samsung 5300 series for more than 18 months and surely rate this Sony model higher than Samsung on audio and picture quality.>Has very sharp and good depth of image. You dont need additional speakers or amplifiers ( unless you want to blow it out). It beats samsung on both picture and sound quality.I would rate the TV 4.5 just for its picture and sound quality. I did compare this model with Samsung 5300 and 5500 series next to it and could see the marked difference in sound and picture.Cons: >When it comes to connectivity, this TV scores 2Has poor internet capability, its takes at least 2 mins for the TV to get IP address and another 2 mins for apps to open. This is poor if you compare my experience with Samsung smart hub feature. I tried using wi-fi first and then changed to wired connectivity, still have the same challenge. Samsung is surely a much better internet ready TV as you dont see the difference between TV and Internet features when it comes to interface and user experience.>Limited apps as Sony hasn't really focused on integrating Sony with all other platforms and apps. It does not have Amazon Prime, Daily Motion etc.>Search feature is a big pain as you to use remote and its not compatible with keyboards ( unlike Samsung)>Makes static reception noise when you change channels.>Unlike Samsung Allshare, this one allows only Sony products to have near field connection for sharing screen.Overall, this TV could beat Samsung on all counts if it just takes care of its internet capability features and adds some small features to make it competitive.
