Sony KDL-40V5100 LCD TV – Customer Reviews
First things first, THEY FIXED THE AUTO-CONTRAST! I have nothing but good things to say about this TV. Do not be fooled by the 1 star ratings. All those 1 star ratings complain about the auto contrast/brightness feature which could not be turned off, but SONY FIXED IT ALREADY in the newer units or a software update via sony.com will add the controls to turn the function off.
With that biggest gripe fixed, this TV has best visual clarity and the color saturation is beautiful. Black levels are excellent on this non glossy screen. You can\’t go wrong with a Sony and the software update shows they are listening to their customer base. No dead/stuck pixel, great viewing angles, 120hz refresh is great for sports, but in my opinion, not for movies. Excellent TV, I would buy another one of these without hesitation, superior when compared to the other brands that offer the same features. The Bravia V series lives up to the Sony name and quality standards you would expect. Deserves all 5 of the stars it\’s rated.

False Marketing
Even though the TV’s box has a big “Dolby Digital” logo, and marketing specification claim DD, this TV cannot output DD 5.1 audio when using its ATSC or QAM tuner.
