Electronics Made Easy

10/10

14 September 2009
If you're in the process of building a home-theater system, and are interested in exploring the possibilities of an Internet-connected TV, the Bravia KDL-40XBR9 is an excellent choice. Sony is way ahead of most of the competition in this area, and this set has the features to take advantage of it. And it's available at a reasonable street price for a 40-inch LCD HDTV. Read more

Sony...Horrible Quality

2.0/10

Reviewer: Thea, Amazon
16 November 2010
Replaced our Sony Trinitron two years ago (2008) with another...Bravia 40XBR4 1080p. Had done much advanced research combined with my past Sony products, decided to stay with the brand. Sony was once the top of the line...About two months ago, there was multiple imaging for the first 10 minuts or so until it warmed up. Tonight, November 16, 2010 there is no picture. A black screen with vertical and horizontal lines that looks like plaid. Read more

Great TV. I have always been a loyal Sony TV consumer and once again I am very happy. Yes, you do pay a little more for the name; BUT I think it is worth it. High Quality TV. 40" is a great size for Bedroom. Read more

The wide zoom and regular zoom is distorted. The normal mode reduces the picture size. Everything else on this television is great. Love to watch on it. Read more

Sony KDL-40XBR 9 40 inch LCD HDTV

10/10

Fantastic HDTV. This is the second Widescreen Sony I've purchased from One Call. I previously ordered a Sony XBR 4 52 inch set. The XBR 9 is awesome with zero complaints. The only issue I had was the pedestal stand was not manufactured correctly. It tilted the set to one side.[...] I would definetly buy another set from one call without any hesitation. Read more
