18 months and it bites the big one
 
Review Date: March 18, 2010
Reviewer: Edward W. Oneill,
I purchased this television 18 months ago and the light panel is acting up already. In fact it must be replaced. Repairing it is not an option. The cost of a light panel is more than 75% of the cost of a new television. I've owned Sony televisions my entire adult life but I'll not buy another.
Great when it works

Reviewer: Eugene A. Lewis,
This is our first LCD TV. It has great resolution and the HD is very impressive. It has served us well with many hours of viewing and Wii entertainment fun. We purchased this TV on the Memorial Day weekend of 2009. On Sunday morning September 27, 2009, my son turned on the TV to watch Sid the Science Kid but the picture and sound never appeared.
Sony customer support scheduled a pickup after an unsuccessful diagnostic walk through. It's been almost a month since the TV was taken by the Sony service center representative. Bottom line, we are not sure what to expect from a four month old TV that's been in the shop for almost a month.
black cloud, bad picture, unusable tv set

I have purchased my 46" Bravia KDL-46S4100 about 16 months ago.Just after manufacturer warranty expired, the LCD panel started to get a shaky black cloud in the center of the screen and then horizontal stripes distorting the image. I have to wait more than 30 minutes for the picture to clear off. Other than this problem the picture is crisp, very good colors, easy to use controls, no general complains.
The authorized repair man came over to my house and cost estimation for the repair was over $1800, more than I have paid for the new tv set. I had to turn down the repair offer, now I need to scrap the tv and get a new one, which definitely will not be Sony again. They lost me as a customer. Recommend buying extended warranty for Sony products.
Lower End Model Gives Lower End Results
 
Review Date: June 13, 2009
Reviewer: S. Turner, Chicago, IL
I'm well aware that this Bravia model is their lower end one and used more as a discount choice. I know it's not going to have the newest technology or the fastest speeds. But I do expect some form of quality when factoring in the price and the Sony name that I've always felt stood for a quality product.

The problem I have is some massive backlight bleeding. Even turned to its minimum I get the splotches in the corners and near the middle when the screen is dark. Now I expect this kind of stuff from a no-name company being sold at a huge discount at Wal-Mart. But Sony has built a reputation as a major brand and I don't expect these kind of glaring issues. I'll try and have it repaired with the 1-year warranty, but it seems like this is an issue on this model that is quite common.

The TV functions and and it's a good picture for the price (when not dark). But the backlight issue is bad and just something I don't expect at this price tag. One positive is that the speakers that come with this model are exceptional and the best I've ever had from a television.
very sad
