My family and I bought this tv a few years ago and it still works like new. Great picture and good volume. Could use more applications or an update option to be able to order the newest movie/ music apps. But overall GREAT TV!!!

I regret buying this television as I have to constantly reset to factory settings and it drops my streaming passwords. Called customer service once and on hold for an hour the second time. We just watch our old Vizio for now.

Great picture but smart tv feature difficult to set up. I just helped my daughter set up her Sanyo and it was a peace of cake. This Sony was nothing but a headache.

I am always happy with my Sony purchase. Sharp pictures and the apps are great. There is no need to attatch other componets to enjoy my movies on Vudu and Crackle. I only buy Sony electronics!

I like Japan, & the tools it gives forth. Technology from Japan makes me imagine them building TIBS satellites. TIBS is the most dominant, most advanced & the oldest satellite-communication system in The Universe. Sony could do it. Yamaha could too.

The apps continue to not work & in the two years I've had this TV there have been no updates available. I will never buy another TV again in life.

This unit has a great picture when sitting directly in front of the unit. It is less sharp when viewing off to the side. I have had only one issue since purchasing this unit. It seems to lose the correct date and time periodically without even unplugging the unit. Otherwise I have been happy with this purchase.

Bought this to replace another tv. This is my second Sony TV. Bright picture and good wifi to connect to ypur router. Netflix and Amazon included. Easy hook up and you can customize it to what you want to see. I would recommend buying an amp and some 5.1 speakers to hook up to this as the sound is just fair. Would recommend to anyone for a bedroom or den. Only has 2 HDMI inputs so you will need a switch box if you have more components to hook up or you could route everything through a receiver which I would recommend you do.

I've had this Sony 40" Bravia for a little over a year now, and it's wonderful however, at this time, the remote doesn't work and I can't turn off the tv. Who should I contact?

TV is nice and thin, very lightweight picture quality is very good. Easy setup. Going to the smart features the menu pop ups seem to be on the slow side but not a deal breaker. The processing capabilities on this TV seem to be on the lower side so I would not recommend it for media center streaming doesn't seem to work as fast and not able to process all of my videos off the media center as well as the Samsung smart TVs.

The first time I saw the t.v. I had to have it. Just had to wait for the right time to buy it. The thing that I notice was the stand on it , which I thought was an unsual design, but good. It helps the balance of the t.v. to avoid it tipping over.

Clear Resolution Enhancer: detail without distraction
From noisy pictures to clear viewing - you'll enjoy fine details and textures, even in flat picture areas. Clear Resolution Enhancer scales low resolution images up to Full HD resolution without introducing additional picture noise. It does this by reducing noise before scaling the image to the panel resolution. Pictures are clear and detailed with enhanced contrast and depth.
Motionflow XR keeps the action smooth
Enjoy smooth and sharp details even in fast-moving sequences with Motionflow XR. This innovative technology creates and inserts extra frames between the original ones. It compares key visual factors on successive frames, then calculates the split second of missing action in the sequences.
Slim design for easier wall mounting
The slimline styling blends effortlessly into a living room, enabling easier mounting on a wall. Because the screen has minimal bezels, you can focus on your entertainment with near edge-to-edge pictures. It's an ideal blend of form and function for an immersive entertainment experience.

Clear Phase for smooth, balanced frequencies
BRAVIA uses a powerful computer model to analyze and compensate for inaccuracies in speaker response. It does this by "sampling" the speaker frequency with higher precision. This information is fed back to cancel out any peaks or dips in the speaker's natural response - resulting in pure, natural audio with smooth, even reproduction of all frequencies.
Screen Mirroring
Bring your favorite smartphone content to the big screen with Miracast 2. Simply pair your TV with your device to view online films and TV episodes, stored photos and videos and your favorite apps. As connection is made via Wi-Fi Direct, you don't even need access to a Wi-Fi network.
