Sony KDL-40XBR4 Settings

escheng -- Mon, 11/12/2007 - 01:24

I just purchased the Sony KDL-40XBR4 LCD TV. It is beautiful and I want to thank TPV for your great review. Sometimes the authors would suggest what settings they found worked best, but I didn't see any settings suggested in the review.

I thought out of the box the blues and greens were oversaturated. Do the TPV authors/editors have any recommendations for the settings on this TV?

By the way, thanks for a great magazine. I enjoy the reviews and your suggestions/recommendations are right on! I recently bought the Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro for my iPod based on Chris Martens' review-- I love it!

Thanks for any feedback!

Perfect! Thanks guys!

Another question-- what HDMI cables do you recommend?

I don't recommend particular brands of HDMI cables. I've had good results with most cables I've tried, even inexpensive ones. My main recommendation is to keep the cable as short as possible.
