 This is an excellent television August 11, 2010
L. Plybon (New York, NY)
We acquired a refurbished Bravia XBR KDL-40XBR6 40-Inch, and it has been simply excellent. I'm no connoisseur, and don't geek out on all of the settings and bells and whistles (but fully respect those who do -- they help me find out which products are best). I can only report this set has a fantastic picture, the controls are easy to deal with, we love it for movies and gaming, and recommend it highly.

I've had this TV for about a year now and I have been nothing by thrilled with this purchase. Absolutely no problems with it whatsoever. Because of the very then bezel outlining the screen, it was the largest screen that could fit in my cabinet, and it fits perfectly. It looks great and watching bluerays and TV is fantastic, even using my "rabbit ears." The PS3 has never looked better.

I purchased this t.v. in December '08. It worked great for just shy of one year and then it simply went dead: no picture, no sound, only turns on and off. If the t.v. still worked I'd have no major complaints, perhaps the greens and reds are a little off but I was able to mostly correct this with some customizing. And the sound is excellent, especially when compared to Samsung.
Update: I'm now trying to get Sony to replace the t.v. It was repaired and delivered yesterday. After watching it for about 5 minutes, the same problem happened.... No picture, no sound. Needless to say, the only thing that will satisfy me now is receiving a new t.v.
--------
Here's the problem. I contacted Sony 8 weeks ago to explain the difficulty we were having, spent about 2 hours trying to fix it over the phone to no avail. I suggested they give me approval to get it serviced, but they insisted I wait for a USB software update in the mail.... 6 weeks later after 3 incorrect address delivery attempts and more customer service incompetence than you can possibly imagine, I finally received the software update (I had them overnight it). And of course, it didn't work.
Next we move onto the service phase where I am now in a holding pattern. I needed to get a repair breakdown and service estimate from the technician, but he wouldn't give me one as he had no idea what was wrong with the t.v.: "No picture. No sound. Huh? Only turn on/off...." Now I am waiting to talk to his manager to get some document I can fax back to Sony along with all the receipts in order for them to approve repair service.
In summary, our t.v. has not worked for well over a month, I have wasted well over five hours talking to incompetent Sony representatives over the phone, and I have little hope of having a working t.v. anytime soon. Thankfully it is still under warranty (by only one week!). I am hoping I have no problems with my other Sony equipment in the future. In any case, this will be my last Sony purchase.

I LOVE my Sony, but also was expremely impressed with service. January 22, 2010

I cannot say enough about this company. The model I originally ordered was out of stock, so they Up-graded me to the newest model! They called me and explained the situation and asked if I would mind. I was extremely impressed with this and would recommend them to all. The TV came on time and works great!
Paying extra for a Bravia XBR was well worth it. I thought the 40" might be too big for my bedroom (couldn't see the old one from my bed), but it's perfect.!
Sony Bravia loving it! June 8, 2009

I did a lot of research and then a lot of shopping for this product and am very satisfied with the picture and ease of use.
As a non-techno guy I was a bit concerned about how I would be able to hook it up with my dvd, cable box and sound system but the instructions made this easy.
No regrets on this big purchase.
