56 of 57 people found the following review helpful Love it. Cystal Clear Screen. Easy Set up., October 31, 2012 By  honestreviewer - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: Sony BRAVIA KDL42EX440 42-Inch 1080p LED HDTV (Black) (Electronics) Received this Sony 42" LED HDTV last week and I already own the 32" LED HDTV 1080p so I knew it would be just as great. Well it is better than I hoped it would be. Set up was super easy. The screen is sharper than my 32" size. You can watch this TV in a dark room and it adjusts to its environment. Same with a bright light on. From every angle you can see this TV clearly. This is in our living room. Perfect size. Highly Recommend this TV.

Coleman "Gator" (Florida) - See all my reviews    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: Sony BRAVIA KDL42EX440 42-Inch 1080p LED HDTV (Black) (Electronics) The Sony quality is very evident: sound quality, picture sharpness, menu layout is all good. The led display is an improvement over the lcd which I previously own. It is lighter, thinner, with sharper image. Delivery was on time with no damage. Thanks.

This review is from: Sony BRAVIA KDL42EX440 42-Inch 1080p LED HDTV (Black) (Electronics) I really like this TV. Awesome picture clarity, thin LED screen and big 42 screen. The only part i don't like is that USB can only play .mpeg or .mpg movies. It cannot play other famous movie extensions like .avi, .mp4 etc. The good thing about this TV is that it supports 110V to 240V so that you can use anywhere in the world. Amazon does not charge tax that's plus point. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews  Was this review helpful to you?  Report abuse | Permalink   Comments (13)
