Customer Ratings & Reviews

It's hard to find anything wrong with this TV. Picture quality is great, menu's are great, smart features are great. I would say, the only things I didn't like were not really a big deal at all. One would be, the stand is horribly flimsy, but I think now days most people mount their TV's, and for safety reasons (children) I think most people should anyway. The other thing that might annoy some people is the start up. It turns on pretty much right away, but nothing is accessible for a little bit. You can't just turn it on and change inputs, you need to wait a little while. Really not a big deal but I could see someone questioning why it would need to be "turning on" after you've already turned it on. Neither of those justify removing a star so I'm giving it 5 anyway. I had bought a cheaper Sony from another retailer and this one is far superior. I know the price may seem a little high but after trying out the cheaper one I was more than happy to return it and get this one instead. I also understand this is not a 4k, does not have 3D and has a very low refresh rate, but I haven't noticed anything lacking in movies or games I play on it. I am very happy with this purchase.

I like Sony because I has a very good picture the only thing this tv does not have 120hz

Wish it had a faster refresh rate. Overall great technology.

I love everything about this TV except it's 60 MHz, would be better if it was 120. Even the sound is better than I expected. EZ set up.

I was sold this tv as a 120hz 240 motion flow with a built-in ps3. And this tv did not deliver. It is a 60hz tv that shows very hazy on my direct tv, and when watching blue ray movies. Returned.

SUMMARY Sony BRAVIA KDL40W600B LED HDTV I should have bought this the first time (again). This is the second time in 3 years I got sucked in by features / specs / reviews / price on the Samsung TV’s only to return them and upgrade to a Sony. Just like 3 years ago, the Samsung Apps lock up and are slow to respond. I initially chose the Samsung UN40H5201A over the Sony KDL40W600B mostly due to native refresh rates and comparable overall ratings but I ended up returning it for this Sony. It has only been a few days, but already my family has commented on the improved Picture Quality and overall performance. MY USE For me this is a smaller TV in a spare 10x10 bedroom / exercise room. I decided it was not worth the extra money to get a 4K TV. I really have no need for 4K at this time. For about $350 I’m more than happy with it. There are a good amount of apps, but not as many as the Samsung. If I cared about the apps (I use TiVo) HBO would the main one that is missing for me. I’m also interested in trying the PlayStation Now streaming Gaming built into the set. The Picture quality is fantastic. PRO’s • Great PQ • Fast Response • Good Remote • TV is extremely light • Lots of HDMI Ports CON’s • Stand is a little flimsy but good enough • Power Supply is an external “Brick” which might put some people off • More Expense than other sets • Slower Native Refresh Rate (but I don’t notice it) • Settings are a little harder to access than on previous versions of Sony

For some crazy reason Sony put the cable connections smack in the center of the wall mount holes on the back of the tv -- making it super challenging to wall mount if you are connecting anything other than HDMI, such as an antenna connection or a bluray player or home theater that has component cables or if you want to connect an optical audio cable. This TV has a 300x200 VESA pattern for wall mounts (which for some reason Sony doesn't disclose so you have to measure it for yourself), which completely covers the connections on the back. The only way to way mount it is with substantial spacers and right angle adapters for the component connections and for the digital optical audio, if using those. Plus, even though I bought just a 40" tv, I have to buy a big wall mount in order to accommodate the 300x200 pattern, meaning that I spent more money & time on ordering the wall mount, cable adapters, getting more spacers from the hardware store, and having to mount a board on the wall to allow the wall mount to be centered, since the 300x200 type mounts need to be installed into 2 studs and therefore, it can't necessarily be centered without mounting a backer board to the wall first -- a lot of work that could be avoided by buying almost any brand other than Sony. Plus, with a refresh rate of only 60, this model's technology is a bit older -- don't think Sony is even making this model anymore. Would not recommend -- there are plenty of other tvs on the market with just as good picture quality without all the headache. Unless you can find it for under $280 and don't intend to wall mount it, I would pick something else.
