Sony Bravia KDL40E4500

Some motion control problems, image quality issues

If you’re looking for a Sony television that offers decent picture quality and a great-looking frame, the KDL40E4500 is a good option. It may not be as brilliant as its Samsung counterparts but we prefer the design and user interface.
