    For the value I think it's a great set

    KDL-40S4100 is a bit cheaper then the V series but I think the different is only $100

    The S4100 Series is Sony's entry level 1080p line of LCD televisions introduced in 2008. Succeeding the critically acclaimed S3000 series which won Consumer Reports best LCD TV in 2007, the 4100s upgrade the native resolution from 720p, to a FullHD 1080p. With the bump in resolution the new S series retains one if its key differentiators over most other televisions in this range with its 10-bit processing and 10-bit panel. As a step up from the S series is the more expensive V4100 series of televisions which adds a fourth HDMI input and dynamic backlight.

    If it helps Sears is having a Thanksgiving Black Friday deal for $1099


    Pros
    • full 1080p, 10-bit pannel, good amount of inputs
    • perfect for those who have a smaller house or room and do not need a 50" TV
    • a quality second or third TV for a bedroom

    Cons:
    • space and bottom bar make TV look bulky





    The 40" Sony KDL-40V4100 offers full 1080p screen resolution, plus somuch more. Compared to Sony's previous "V-series" TVs, this oneprovides more inputs for connecting the latest HD gear, a betterpicture with non-HD programs, and more practical features to makeday-to-day operation easier and more convenient.


    BRAVIA video processing improves low-quality signals
    High-definition video sources look stunning on the KDL-40V4100, butmost people still watch at least some non-HD material. That's why it'simportant to choose a TV with excellent video processing. Sony's latestBRAVIA Engine 2â„¢ circuitry cleans up lower-res signals by analyzing andprocessing each scene to enhance picture contrast, reduce noise, andoptimize color.

    Another quality that often separates top-notch TVs from no-namemodels is picture contrast. Sony's Advanced Contrast Enhancercontinuously monitors the video signal and adjusts the TV's backlightlevels to improve contrast without masking details in darker areas ofthe picture.
    So many viewing options
    The KDL-40V4100 has built-in tuners for your local digital and analogover-the-air broadcasts (antenna required). Plus, a "QAM" cable TVtuner lets cable subscribers watch unscrambled channels without aset-top box — including HD channels in many areas.
    The generous "jack pack" has multiple inputs for high-resolutionsources. For future-readiness, there are four HDMI inputs, so you canadd an HD satellite receiver as well as an "upconverting" DVD player orHD video game console. And a proprietary rear-panel port offers adigital connection path for Sony's Internet Video Link, which lets youaccess customized web content directly from your TV. More add-on BRAVIALink modules are coming later this year to further expand thecapabilities of compatible Sony TVs.
