Just unpacked my Phillips 19 inch LCD TV yesterday and we have watched it ever since, neglecting the poor old Toshiba in the rec room! It is just what I wanted, small and light, perched on a small table in the living room, and has a beautiful picture and excellent sound. No surprise is the best surprise! That's what I expect from Overstock.com and what I got again this time.

Many folks are going for the samsung lcds because the blacks look blacker.
but those tv's have a glass screen that reflects everything. This tv is sharper than a xbr4 or xbr5 , those were last years models. the engine in this tv is equivalent to a xbr6. I replaced a great 50 inch sony sxrd
tv with this one. Sony's newer 52's didn't have all the features of this one. the s, v, and w's are fine tv's but they don't have deep color the new color standard that future discs will have. Nor do they have x.v. color which is here already and is used in digital photos. this one does. the w does have 24fps or film speed that words with a ps3 or blu ray player to show a movie in it's real speed. Of course this isn't a benefit for older dvd's as they are processed in a 2:3 rate anyways. that means that one frame is dropped for every 3 shown. but for blu ray this feature rocks. And like ALL lcds standard non hd tv looks ok but they don't put standard tv on in showrooms. so people take these

I have been using an old 27 inch Zenith for over 6 years and the color was really starting to bleed so I started looking into lcd tv's and found the sony KDL-40Z4100/B and was very impressed with the features that it offered. I spent at least a month researching tvs but still came back the the sony. The sony tv was a bit more than the others but my parents have a 52" JVC HD-ILA tv and this I feel is no comparison to mine now. I find myself watching the HD stations the majority of the time but am also very impressed at the regular channels. I really like the slim bezel design, it helps give the tv a lighter foot print.

I ordered 2 of these, one for the bedroom and one for the office. One of them was in perfect condition, the other had some definite scuff marks on the black front surround. Probably not noticable to anyone but me since I set it up but it still bothered me some. They are nice looking and lightweight and set up is very easy. The picture is fine, nothing to really shout about, but overall I would recommend.

As a previous owner of a Sony 40XBR4, I was skeptical of a Sony set that was not one of the XBR series. Consequently, I discovered the "Z" series which has most of the XBR features, but at an even better price.
The KDL-46Z4100/B is one great set with a picture to match. This model doesn't have the x.v color feature, but has all the other bells and whistles of the XBR for hundreds less.
The "Z" series features a TV Guide programming feature. Since most people have either a digital cable box or satellite receiver, I question how many out there could actually make use of this feature.
Checking out the Xross Media Bar setup menu it is easy to get lost in the amazing amount of controls available to the user. This may look like a minus, but it is really a plus.
LCD TVs are known for their slimness, but this model really outdoes the competition. With a one-inch thickness, it should fit most anywhere--especially on the wall.
If you are looking for a state-of-the-art LCD TV, look no

I was looking for a 40" LCD and narrowed it down to the Sony 40Z4100, Sony 40XBR4, and Samsung LN40A750... I've previously owned a 46" Samsung LN-T4665F and a Samsung LN-T3253H so naturally I wanted to go back to Samsung. The picture on the 750 is amazing but side by side, in multiple stores, I just couldn't take my eyes off the Sony LCDs. I then was stuck between the Sony 40XBR4 and the 40Z4100...
I had my heart set on the XBR4 since it was Sony's top of the line product last year, but when I saw that this years 40" XBR6 and XBR7 were going to have identical specs to the Z4100, (granted Contrast Ratio will probably be higher on the XBR's,) it came down to the simple question of:
Do I want to spend $2500+ on the new XBR or $1700+ on the Z4100??
I have to say I'm extremely happy with my decision to save a few bucks and go with the Z-series. The picture quality is breathtaking in both HD and Blu-Ray. Standard TV is top notch as well but I'm blown away with the detail, color, and overall

I was really excited about getting this. It looked like a great deal and I jumped on it. It turned out I was going to be very disappointed. The tv arrived very quickly, about three days from purchase, and it was nicely packaged.When I opened it, I immediately noticed a lot of wear around the sides of the unit, where the paint was worn off and you could see the off-white plastic underneath. Looking past the cosmetic aspects, I was excited to plug the tv in and try it out.When I plugged the tv in and turned it on, the screen flashed for a second, and then it was only a blank screen. After trying different outlets, trying the remote, and various other methods, in case I was missing something. In the end, the unit was merely broken on arrival. I looked in the box and found the repair slip from an unknown repair company, that must not have done a good job.I really hope a lot of other people don

It's hard to find fault with the TZ50 as a basic compact ultrazoom camera. The T50 offers all the performance and flexibility of the excellent TZ5, which is certainly why many consumers will find it so appealing. Sure, Panasonic could have made the TZ50 a much more useful photographic tool by including basic features like P/A/S/M modes, but the reality is that most point-and-shoot users won't miss these features. The new WiFi upload feature is sure to be attractive to many consumers looking to quickly share their vacation photos. Nevertheless, it's hard to overwhelmingly recommend the TZ50 over the TZ5.
When everything is said and done, although the TZ50 allows you to wirelessly upload your images to your Picasa web gallery the process isn't nearly as easy as it might sound. Since the TZ5 can be purchased for a full $100 less than the TZ50, I suspect most average consumers will be happier uploading images the "old fashioned way" directly from their desktop or laptop computers rather than

Researched like a rocket scientist for few weeks to purchase just the right tv at the right price like most people. I had a Trinitron for life until recently due to the digital tv signal thing, I thought I give these lcds a try. Decided on this unit based on the great reviews on forums and experts. Why I bought: I love the design of this unit, very sleek...nice. I like the features and specs. I like the price not too much (Sony) and not too cheap (Vizio). Just the right amount of this and that. Why I am writing this review: omg, first set had a white line in the middle of the screen that went up and down, first I thought it was normal since it was a large screen...lol. i returned and repurchased the same model in a diffirent box. Had it for 2 months now, and suddenly the picture goes blank...green power light goes on and off but I am unable to access the tv menu, etc. I cant even turn off the tv without unplugging. Researched online forums...I was not the only victim. I tried

Was time to replace my 36" Sony XBR tube with a new HDTV set but had a specific space limitation due to the existing TV cabinet - had to fit something inside just over 39". Looked at the Samsung 650 and was leaning heavily that way but was concerned that the size was just too tight for my opening (even with some adjustments) and the glossy screen was a concern given lots of natural light in the room.
Was then looking to the "W" series when I found the "Z" - a bit more, but it was definately smaller (the exact same width as my 36" XBR tube set) and I liked the DLNA options.
The reason for 4 vs 5 stars is the fact that using the DLNA feature has not been easy thus far. There are little to no instructions with the set for this and I've tried three DLNA-compatible Media Servers (four if you count Windows Media Player). I finally was able to access pics from my PC by using the SimpleCenter media center but I've not been able to get the TV to realize that audio is also being shared by SimpleCenter.

This TV was literally the perfect "fit" for us. The slim design just fits our built-in cabinet with about 1/2 inch to spare on width. This means we can not access the few side mounted inputs and control buttons - but with 4 HDMI inputs in total + component inputs in the back, we have more than enough accessible inputs and the remote does all we need it to. We also found it on sale for $1699.00 - making the price more competitive with other similarly configured TVs - the picture is amazing - we have been watching the Olympics in HD but have not yet tried a DVD - on Vivid setting the picture is extremely bright and sharp - maybe too bright; there are custom controls for the picture that we have not tried yet. The only problem we have had was the included TV stand - the TV attaches quite easily with 4 included screws - but when we mounted the TV - it was tilted forward at the top - there is no way to adjust tilt, and we determined that an L shaped metal component of the stand that holds

I think the picture quality on this little TV is wonderful. Yes, you do have to look at it somewhat straight on, but I think that's how most of us watch TV anyway! The sound is also great. Overall, for the price I think it's a really good deal for a great brand name TV. My friends all love it, and everyone says it seems larger than 19 inches because the picture looks so good. My only complaint, probably because it was refurbished, is there are some subtle marks on the case that appear to be from the storage and shipping in the bubble wrap, these are difficult to wipe off. Fortunately the screen was covered with foam, so no problems there!

Coby KTFDVD1093 10.2-Inch Under-The-Cabinet LCD TV with Built-in DVD/CD Player and AM/FM Radio
Handsome appearance and good quality picture, however, after less than a week of use the picture went dark but audio was still working. The radio and DVD/CD still worked, however, you would have a picture for the first 2 seconds and then the screen would go dark. This is the second Coby product that I have purchased in the last year that didn't make it past six months of use before failing. I'm not impressed with the reliability of their systems and would be reluctant to purchase in the future.

This was the first LCD HD television that I purchased and I found the Sony to have no faults (purchased 6/2008). I love the 3 inch depth and light weight (about 57 pounds).
The set up was easy and the screen viewing wonderful with any media thrown at it ("rabbit ears", cable, blu-ray, DVD, XBOX, Wii). There is no glare and you can view easily from an angle. 4HDMI and multiple component ports made for a no fuss addition of extras.
The remote is a bit large but that may be how other manufacturers are doing that.
Overall, a wonderful product from Sony

We bought this TV because most of what we have comes from Sony, and we like how well it all integrates. The form factor is very clean, the silver bezel is really nice and a good change from black, and the picture is excellent in HD. Sound through the speakers is not great, but who buys this and doesn't have sound going through a theater system? I would just say that it is on the pricey side, since it's Sony, and a Samsung probably offers the same features at a lower price. Still, if you're a Sony fan, this won't dissappoint.

I loved my 46" Aquos LC45D6xU. Doesn't matter when the TOSLINK audio out stopped working a month after I set it up. Sound is still decent even without digital out. Piano black case enhances the crisp viewing pleasure.
But be warned! Buy the extended warranty! Mine broke for no apparent reason less than 2 years from purchase (my kids were just watching their cartoons, then it blanked out). And since it's over the standard 1 year parts and labor, Sharp will do little to alleviate the upcoming repair costs.
Google this: power and opc lights blinking. Apparently, this is the more common 'error code' prevalent on this unit, after the problem shows (no display suddenly). It may require 2 boards to be replaced, to the tune of upwards of $600 (just for parts). Most complaints I've seen tells of lemon tvs. Those which are defective within the first few days or weeks of operation. But as I said, mine broke down before 2 years. I thought such "quality" tv would last longer than the repayment

I purchased this model after my GPX kitchen TV died after 1 year (junk). The picture on this TV is far far better than the GPX TV. Installation was very easy. My only complaint is that the remote buttons all look the same and the volumn controls don't stand out from the rest.

UPDATE (replacement remote received): After HOURS on the phone with Level 2 tech support using two different Harmony 1000's and TWO different Macs with up-to-date software, I can conclude that the Harmony 1000 DOES NOT work on the Mac (Leopard 10.5.4). We were finally able to get it working using Windows Vista installed on a Mac using Parallels.

I design software for a living, so I'm very pretty comfortable with software and consumer electronics. I spent half a day trying to get this thing to just be recognized by my computer! After it tried to update its own firmware, neither my Mac nor my PC could detect it. Logitech tech support -- after 3 calls and 3 hours of my life wasted -- concluded the remote, was in fact, dead. So they offered to replace it for free. I sent it in. Now they're saying they have no stock to send out replacement units for their customers who received dead-on-arrival remotes, and that I have to wait an additional 3-6 weeks on top of

before i bought this set i owned a 58inch hitachi ultravision for 6yrs.i loved the picture on that set.i didn't think i would ever find a set with such a great picture again, but i was wrong! i needed to get a slimmer tv because of room constraints so i started shopping. i looked at everything except Mitsubishi(i always thought they were overpriced). then one day i found a great sale going on at one of the big local dealers. they were giving trade-in credit on tv's even if they didn't work. so i checked one out and boy was i supprised.the picture took my breath away.the color was bright,sharp and precise. the whites were white,not blue-white.the colors were natural and tight,no bleeding.the blacks didn't run into each other you could see the detail and shades against other blacks,like a black suit on a black background.when i got the set home it took all but 5 minutes to hook up. when i turned it on it looked even better then it did at the store.it has all the hook-ups you'll need.i have

This is an outstanding camera. Muuuuuuch better than previous Panasonic models. The picture quality is great and the camera is very easy to use. A few friends of mine have the Canon and Sony models but after they saw the DMC-TZ50S they were blown away.
I'm still trying to figure out the WiFi but I guess it would help if I read the manual...
