Description: The Sony Bravia KDL-52V4100 is a 52-inch, liquid crystal display television. Compared to other liquid crystal display TVs on the market, it is relatively expensive at around $2,115. This flat-TV is an LCD display, which is generally the best kind of flat-panel screen for viewing in brightly-lit rooms.

Pros: Has a 52-inch screen size. This is larger than the average TV on the market today, but is to be expected for a TV of this price. This television can display images that are sharper and more realistic than regular television when mated to a high definition signal. The 3:2 pulldown feature of this set reduces artifacts that can occur when motion pictures are transferred to a digital format such as DVD.

Cons: Has only a rear connector location.

Suitability: Built for those who want to enjoy an ultra-sharp picture from an ultra-thin TV. In general, a wide aspect display such as this one is ideal for DVD movies recorded in the popular 16:9 format, as well as high definition programming.

Value: In general, this TV's features are as expected for this price.
