5 Stars Great HDTV for the price
I bought this TV during ThanksGiving Sale as a bundle with Blueray player(BDP S560) and paid 1077 for both. I felt like a great deal. Even though they have mentioned it would take 1 month to ship they had arrived in just 1 wk.
So far i tried following and need to explore more:
1)Picture Quality for HD Channels is unbelievable.
2)Watching pictures thru USB port is piece of cake but it worked with only one port in the side panel, other USB port in the back didnt recognize the flash drive.
3)Connected laptop to TV thru S-Video cable and picture quality is good.
So far i have found everything working and easy to connect. I own this TV for 1 month now. Hope it would continue to give same quality pictures.

5 Stars LCD/LED TV Geek Squad
Up until I purchased this LCD TV (SONY BRAVIA 46W5100), I have studied all the options for months before buying this 46 inch TV.
It came down to three manufacturers LCD TV’s: SONY, SHARP or Samsung for best picture quality, design and sound.
Conclusion: SONY BRAVIA is the BEST and superior in quality!!! (Although SHARP should get all the credits for developing LCD TVs all together, but seemed to slow down in further developing the technology. On the other hand, Samsung keeps copying everything what SONY and SHARP have done to LCD TVs, Samsung is STILL few years behind in technologies to SONY and SHARP manufacturers.) While Samsung is only interested in thinning down the flat screen TVs, all other manufacturers are directing their technologies in advancing the picture quality and sound. I personally do not care about thinner LCD/LED TV, but better picture quality and sound. I think Samsung’s R & R Division should better reconsider the direction they are going.
I found the Sony 46W5100 more attractive in design and had a slimmer bezel, plus was not shiny black or reflective like the one with Samsung. This model has all the most up to the minute Sony technical features and a superb picture. Sound quality is perfectly fine despite some reviews. I picked the W series because of the internet connectivity and TV Guide on screen, since I use an antenna for over the air channels. Really neat features like streaming video movies from Netflix and Amazon, YouTube and CBS.
Some are free, some you have to rent of course. Just plug in an ethernet cable from your router. You need at least 1.5M speed DSL. Got a great buy from Amazon, it was delivered in 7 days after I placed the order. Took about 10 minutes to unpack and set it up, and it worked just great right out of the box. Remote is uncomplicated and easy to use. I am very pleased with this TV and will highly recommend it to anyone. However if you are not interested in connecting it to the internet or using TV Guide On Screen, then consider the Sony V series for a few hundred dollars less, although it has the Bravia 2 processor (vs Bravia 3 in the W5100) and has slightly lower contrast ratio. Also the W has a more attractive bezel design.
5 Stars Good TV
This TV’s picture is very nice! The colors are great and the picture is perfect. I did have some confusion with the motionflow/cinimaflow features. When connected to my xbox 360 I experienced both hyper vision (picture moving to fast) and slow vision (where you were moving at 1/2 speed) both in halo 3. After turning motionflow off it seemed to correct the issue. I still need to do more research to completely correct the issue.
