Reviewer: Doctor P, Arkansas
You just have to make up your mind that you want something and g_d will make a way! I got rid of my family because I was sic (sic) and tired of them bitchin' about wantin' some foooood! That freed up the money for this monster. Thank you Sony! Thank you! And g_d bless you! Every pixel lights up. That's what you spends (sic) your money for!
Its sick

You gotta spend that dope money somewhere, and this was worth it. This was the only option in my neighborhood because it was the only flatpanel I could find that is too big to steal easily.
There is no substitute...

Reviewer: D. Wishnack, USA
Regrettably, I agree with D.D. Martinez. Alas, I tried quite extensively to fit this into one of my 14 luxury estates...but could not. I felt that even though having an HDTV is cheaper, I still must opt for paying live actors to perform on stage in my living room 24/7. Even though they aren't quite up-to-par when performing at 3AM, nothing compares to the real thing. I would take to watching flesh and blood with my Dom Perignon and caviar over a sterile, impersonal thing like an HDTV any day of the year. If you'll excuse me, I must now go cleanse my hands in my 24K gold laundry room sink, as I feel I have dirtied myself by reviewing such a mediocre "entertainment" appliance.
WAY OVERPRICED
 
Review Date: April 8, 2008
Reviewer: Dilla, Los Angeles, CA
Clearly SONY is trying to capitalize on LED hype and the relatively few who offer a 70" screen size, but $30K+ for this TV, the term OFF YOUR ROCKER does not even begin to explain the logic of justifying this purchase, SAMSUNG already has LED backlights and and 120Mhz processor for image production for 1/4th the price. SONY needs to lower the price of this to the $8K to $10K range and then it will be a great buy, until then SONY is SMOKING the good stuff, to try and price at this level.
Rediculously overpriced

Reviewer: C. Davidson, Northern NY
The reviewer who is building their "showcase" house and looks down on those who live in apartments and dorm rooms, should learn the phrase "diminishing returns."

I have met these kinds of people many times in my travels. They believe all you have to do is throw massive amounts of money into something and it'll be exponentially better for it. Wrong. There comes a place where beyond a certain price point the display unit will not provide the eye and the brain with even an incremental increase in visual quality.

I understand that when a person is ultra-wealthy they don't want to let money be an obstacle, but how gauche is it to waste $40,000 on a TV! $40,000 is enough to build a large, and VERY nice, VERY stylish theater.

$40,000 would be enough to have an acoustically treated room; high-end pre/pro and multi-channel amps; very nice speakers (in-wall or otherwise) that would fill a 3,000 cubed foot room with rich sounds; a virtually silent 1080p ceiling mounted front projection system with an acoustically transparent 120" permanently torsioned screen; in-wall wiring of course; upconvert DVD player, blu-ray player, HD cable/sat receiver, and finally an integrated media-center PC.

I admit that theater seating and the popcorn machine would be extra.

Point is this. If you're so rich you can buy that TV... don't. Make a gorgeous theater for 40 or $50,000, and give the rest to a worthy charity. Oh by the way, I to could afford the TV =)

Product Description

Sony's thinnest 40" diagonal monitor includes the performance and Full HD 1080p resolution of BRAVIA Z-Series HDTVs, the revolutionary Sony BRAVIA KLV-40ZX1M LCD Flat Panel Monitor lets you see the world from a whole new angle. At 9.9 mm thin and approximately 26 pounds, the KLV-40ZX1M is flatter than any other large-screen monitor available, approaching the thinness of the 11" (diagonal) Sony XEL-1 Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) TV. Sony offers beautiful design inside and out by incorporating a Wide Color Gamut LED edge light instead of conventional fluorescent lamps, which allows the KLV-40ZX1M to produce rich, more realistic images on a screen as slim as a picture frame. The KLV-40ZX1M not only displays more subtle shades of red, green, and blue but also features Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE) technology for deeper blacks and better image detail when viewing dark movie scenes. It includes enhanced image processing features such as BRAVIA Engine -- which reduces visual noise and sharpens image detail -- and Motionflow 120Hz, a technology that contributes to sharper, more fluid motion by generating extra frames. Additionally, 10-bit processing and a 10-bit panel, Live Color Creation, and x.v.Color capabilities1 create vibrant, more accurate color reproduction. The KLV-40ZX1M also includes an HDMI input that, when used with the BRAVIA Wireless Link module (sold separately), allows you to connect a DVD player, AV gear, or other HDMI components for wireless, real-time transmission of these super-sharp images. A new wall-hugging mount and matching speaker bar (both sold separately) further enhance the fully integrated, on-the-wall design of the KLV-40ZX1M.

  • 9.9 mm thin super-slim design
  • 16:9 Full HD 1080p Resolution Panel (1920x1080)

Product Description

The Sony BRAVIA XBR8-Series HDTVs represent the next step forward for Sony HDTV technology.

The HLT generation of Samsung DLP HDTVs are capable of displaying future 3D games, movies, and other programming via 3D compatible glasses and hardware.

Samsung's LED color and light engine
The revolutionary new LED system available on Samsung DLP HDTVs offers better color, and energy efficiency.
LED (Light Emitting Diode) for modern color realization
Samsung's new LED light engine replaces the arc lamp & color wheel design of previous DLP HDTVs, and realizes beautiful color. LED will last the life of the TV. Samsung LED DLP TVs eliminate the need to replace the consumable lamps every few years, and thus have less impact on the environment and on one’s wallet. Samsung's LED light engine makes possible an Ultra-Wide Color Gamut that exceeds the NTSC defined color space spec for richer color than you've seen before on TV. Samsung DLP HDTVs with an LED engine are more energy efficient than similar sized flat panel displays, and the lack of a moving color whell in the design means they perform with less noise than any previous DLP HDTV design.

Samsung Cinema Smooth light engine
Samsung's Cinema Smooth light engine create's images with a smoother, more film-like appearance.
Cinema Smooth Light Engine
Samsung is the worldwide leader in creating light engines that harness DLP HDTV technology from Texas Instruments. Samsung’s Cinema Smooth light engine brings together the right optics, electronic circuitry and replaceable light source to create a brilliant picture that’s more lifelike and much closer to film. Now in its sixth year of evolution, Samsung’s Cinema Smooth light engine delivers crisp, 1080p High Definition resolution with high contrast and brightness, defined edges and sharp detail.

Next Generation DLP Chips from Texas Instruments
Samsung employs a Texas Instruments DLP chip that is comprised of millions of microscopic mirrors. The DLP chip is faster than any other HDTV technology, with the mirrors switching on & off 15,000 times a second to deliver a razor-sharp picture for fast moving images. When combined with Samsung’s new Cinema Smooth light engine, the result is a crisp, bright picture with deep, rich colors that’s closer to film.

Samsung Cinema Smooth light engine
SRS TruSurround offers a surround sound experience from only two speakers.
SRS TruSurround Samsung HDTVs are equipped with the best that technology can offer in sound quality. Even when viewing regular broadcasts, Samsung's two speaker surround sound makes you feel as if the theater has been brought to your living room.
