Sony Bravia S Series KDL 40S4100 40 Inch 1080p LCD HDTV
Prepare for full 1080p HDTV. The 40″ BRAVIA S Series KDL-40S4100 is an amazing value, and comes fully-loaded with 24p compatibility for smooth playback of filmed content. It also features a wide variety of HD inputs (3 HDMI, 2 component inputs, and a PC input) so you can connect it to a PlayStation 3, Blu-ray Disc player, and up to four more HD-enabled devices. Now you can watch all your favorite movies, sports, and games with the pristine picture and vibrant sound that you expect from a Sony at an unbelievable value.Movies and many prime time TV programs are captured at 24 frames per second (24p). Sony’s Blu-ray Disc players wisely take advantage of this by including 24p output capability allowing a compatible connection with BRAVIA HDTVs that have this capability. The benefit – you can watch movies in natural, cinematic motion, the way they are seen at the cinema. Every single frame of the movie can now be seen without using additional video processing that converts film-based images to video reproduction.
User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars No headphone jack or night mode
This is my first ever HDTV so I can’t compare it to others, but I am consistently blown away by the image quality when watching BluRay movies and playing PS3, and can’t imagine how it could be much better.
However, I live in a small apartment and bought a pair of headphones for my wife so she could watch her girly TV series in private, … until I realized that there is nowhere to plug in external headphones. It has RCA-out for an amplifier, but no headphones? Come on, even a $50 black & white telly has that!!
While on the subject of sound: when watching BluRay, the difference between soft and loud volume is so great that I constantly find myself increasing and decreasing the volume. This TV could really have benefited from a Night Mode, and sadly the PS3 does not seem to have one either.
5 Stars No complaints

5 Stars Sony KDL-40S4100 is FANTASTIC !!
This TV is an Excellent value for the money. Phenomenal picture and I could not tell the difference between it and the higher priced Sony. I love the features, piano black finish, and picture quality. I highly recommend this TV. So much so that I bought one more for my bedroom !!
Best TV I have ever owned !!
5 Stars Excellent Choice
I checked out many reviews and searched for the best deal I could find before making this purchase. This was a great choice.
5 Stars Sony Bravia LCD
Could not be happier with the purchase and with Amazon. The Bravia set is as advertised, Sony quality for under $1,000. While this unit does not have all the “bells and whistles” of more expensive Sony units, it does not compromise on picture quality. I saw this set next to the competition at a ‘big box’ store and there is clearly a difference. I am glad I did not settle for less. I added one of the inexpensive Bravia surround systems for <$300 and now have an excellent home theater system.
