KDL-40NX700 3.7 5 9 9

Really great TV. I am really very happy with this TV. I read loads of reviews and decided on this one. Its mounted on my wall with the new SU-WH500 mount which makes it seem like my TV is hanging like a picture. Very discreet mount. I am not a TV expert and the quality and performance works perfect for me. I have the TV connected to the Sony BDP-S370 blue ray player and enjoy hours of Pandora and movies. I've also connected to Pandora from the TV as well using a wireless signal. The TV has lots of options for connecting to internet content as well, Netflix, Amazon Video on Demand, etc. I have not fiddled much with the TV settings and generally watch all programs with normal picture settings. The sound was decent but I bought the Sony Sound Bar system CT-150 instead which has been great. Overall it's a really great TV. Go for it! September 30, 2010

It's really a Sony A bit pricier than Samsung. The sound is a too small for a big TV but the quality is okay. The picture is gorgeous. There are several ways to adjust the picture and sound until you find the perfect setting for your environment and your eyes. I wonder how it compares with Samsung when viewing non-hd shows. It's not as difficult to set up as other reviewers indicated. The internet was fairly easy to set up too and I am not an IT person. I set up Netflix which I have yet to watch. There are some Yahoo website access too and I hope there is no charge. The remote feels and looks elegant. My cable remote did not pick up the TV volume function maybe because it's a newer model so I have to call Sony and get their new 3-digit code. I am not too sure about the reliability yet so just 3 stars there, knowing it's a Sony. The TV is a day old. Overall, we love it so far. September 24, 2010

Sony Bravia 40NX700 Review Overall, I like this Sony TV. the picture quality is not as good as my Pioneer Plasma, but much better than my previous samsung LCD. Best with my PS3 gaming and blueray. I love it. September 14, 2010

Don't buy it I evaluate TV?s on two criteria: 1- Visual picture quality and 2- Interface, that is the remote, the menus under the remote and the documentation. Sony gets a B+ for visual picture quality and an F for user interface. On this basis I would not recommend that you buy this or any other Sony TV. The remote is a horrible design. The keys are very low and, in some critical areas very tightly spaced leading to frequent mis-key entries. The menus are statements rather than ?how to? information. There is almost no written documentation. All documentation is ?on screen? and not interactive so if you want to follow the few directions, be prepared with a pen and paper to write it down. The menus do not lead you toward a solution. Rather they lead you to a dead end. September 10, 2010
