Sony KDL-52W4100 Took my time selecting a TV, glad I did. Great LCD set, read on.

I would be the first to complain and I don't write reviews to rave, this is unusual for me.

Incredible Picture, bright, lifelike color representation. Without mentioning a word most everyone that watches the TV comments on how great the picture is. Almost hard to believe. I have another relatively new LCD (Samsung and Samsung DLP) and a Plasma (Panasonic) set. HD programming on this set makes HD on the others look like Standard Def.

The way the set displays motion is unlike any other TV I have seen or owned, very cool experience to watch a scene pan left or right. It doesn't look like TV, it looks like HD film.

Intuitive menus and remote, easy to plug and play with most any hook up and source. I have a PS3, Cable Box, Pre-Amp and Apple Computer all hooked up, it took minutes and everything worked right away. You can even use the interactive TV menu to label each port. Could not be easier to use this, very natural and simple system. When switching sources they are listed by both port AND source, for example "HDMI1 Cable, HDMI2, Game, HDMI3 PC etc".

Blows Samsung setup and menus away, Sony makes the Samsung interface seem complicated, clumsy and unattractive. I have had 2 Samsungs and am very happy to have purchased a Sony this time. Obviously the picture takes priority over the setup and interface, again the Sony picture is preferred as is the no glare screen. I also think the remote design is terrific, good size and layout.

The design of the TV is stunning, beautiful work all around. Sony was at the forefront for MANY years and started to lose ground to Panasonic and Samsung. Sony is back...
