Sony Bravia S-Series KDL-40S5100 40-Inch 1080p Black LCD HDTV Review
November 13th, 2009
Sony Bravia S-Series KDL-40S5100 40-Inch 1080p Black LCD HDTV review from Robert L Birmingham. Overall a GREAT Purchase!, This is a great TV. I purchased this television from Best Buy, and was happy with it until I noticed the auto-dimming feature. After reading about it online, I’ve noticed tons of people having the same issue. Fortunately it can be fixed (relatively) easily. All you need is a compatible flash drive (you can check the Sony Support website for a list of compatible flash drives – I used 4 GB Sony Micro Vault), and a PC. From there you simply go to the Sony Support website and download the update/patch for the TV which completely eliminates the auto-dim feature. I got the link by accessing the chat service on the Sony Support site. The PC part is important; If you have an Apple computer, you won’t be able to successfully install the update. I implore anyone who has issues with the auto-dim feature to download the update – it gets rid of the problem.
Pros: Great value; contrast ratio; 1080p; 40 inch screen.
Cons: Without the update/patch there is the auto-dim feature; only 60hz
Overall: I loved the TV at first, then hated it when I noticed the auto-dim, now love it again now that I downloaded the update. I would recommend this TV for anyone looking to upgrade to HD.
