Excellent Purchase by Alan Isherwood on amazon.com Jun 12, 2012
Excellent purchase. This LCD was a replacement for a 40" LCD that I moved to another room. The picture quality was excellent and there are plenty of input/output options to satisfy all of my needs. Product arrived on-time and in perfect shape. Tracking ...
 
Terrific set by Julie L. on vanns.com May 2, 2012
I did a lot of research before deciding on this TV and now that it has been in my house for a week, I am pleased with my selection.
 
Great Value by coloradohawkeye on amazon.com Jun 12, 2012
40 inch 1080p HD TV for under $500- great deal. I was worried with it being 60Hz rather than 120Hz, but this turned out to be not a big deal. Watched the Indy 500 a few weeks ago and the image quality was great- no noticeable blurring. I was also worried ...
 
Excellent TV under $500 by footenote on amazon.com May 15, 2012
We researched LCD TV's for months, and were please when this set was offered for under $500. Of all the TV's I've seen, only Samsung has a better picture, and only slightly better than the Sony, yet it runs at a 10-15% premium. As other buyer's have stated, ...
 
I'm in love! by BRV on amazon.com Apr 28, 2012
Let me start off by saying that I have only had this TV for a week; but I'm in love. The picture looks fantastic, HD looks amazing, and it's an extremely good looking and well put together TV. I was nervous when I bought it that it wouldn't have the ...

Poor Sony customer service by Art on amazon.com Jul 7, 2012
I purchased this tv through a retail store which offers 90 returns. The tv failed at 95 days. I contacted Sony and they 1st offered to come out and fix it. Then they decided it was not economical for them to fix (without even seeing the tv). Long sorry ...
 
Beware by Jim H on amazon.com Jun 7, 2012
First Bravia lasted less than a year, so Sony shipped me a new one two years ago. It just went and needs a new motherboard (of course). Price of a new motherboard = $750!!! Repairman said Samsung's are same quality and a motherboard would be about half the price of Sony's. Goodbye Sony !!
 
Jeff D Hilbert by Jeff on amazon.com Apr 23, 2012
Do NOT buy the Sony Bravia KDL-40BX450!!! This Television does not even contain a simple CableCard slot which is necessary for Cable TV subscribers. Shame on Sony for not including this basic functionality!!!!!!
 
Very limited, and not good for old DVDs by Sam on amazon.com May 12, 2012
Watch out, if you have a lot of old DVDs. For some reason, this TV will NOT play any DVD in an upscale mode and allow you to view it in Normal Mode(the actual mode the movie is in). If the DVD is true 6x9 then you are OK, but for the thousands of 4:3 ...
 
Not good enough to keep it. by gv on amazon.com Apr 29, 2012
I really wanted to like this tv set. Shipping from Amzn was great, unfortunately my tv was defective because it had a thin red line on the top right that would never go away. The red line was not standing out, but if you paid attention you would have ...

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Sony BRAVIA KDL46BX450 46-Inch 1080p HDTV Black
The sound is MUCH better than what I hear coming out of other people's ultrathin TVs, mainly cuz there's some good bass...If your DVD player is using a 3-wire Yellow-Red-White (composite) cable, REPLACE IT with 5-wire Green-Blue-Red (component) video if available + plus Red-White for Audio (or equally as good, a 1-wire HDMI cable, if the player has a jack for it...I'd recommend this model even if you're planning on installing it in the living room...

Further, the overall video related features offered by the model are not adequate to support a wide variety of television programs and shows...Sony has further designed the TV set with digital noise reduction and clear resolution enhancer to improve the overall quality of the scenes...Unlike the LED TV sets launched by Sony, the KDL-46BX450 also does not come with any networking options to access internet...
