You also have numerous other HD connection options, including YPbPr Component inputs as well as a PC input for using your laptop or desktop PC with your big-screen HDTV.

Customer Reviews
Excellent TV after downloading patch
This is a great TV. I purchased this television from Best Buy, and
was happy with it until I noticed the auto-dimming feature. After
reading about it online, I've noticed tons of people having the same
issue. Fortunately it can be fixed (relatively) easily. All you need
is a compatible flash drive (you can check the Sony Support website for a
list of compatible flash drives - I used 4 GB Sony Micro Vault), and a
PC. From there you simply go to the Sony Support website and download
the update/patch for the TV which completely eliminates the auto-dim
feature. I got the link by accessing the chat service on the Sony
Support site. The PC part is important; If you have an Apple computer,
you won't be able to successfully install the update. I implore anyone
who has issues with the auto-dim feature to download the update - it
gets rid of the problem.
Pros: Great value; contrast ratio; 1080p; 40 inch screen.
Cons: Without the update/patch there is the auto-dim feature; only
60hz
Overall: I loved the TV at first, then hated it when I noticed the
auto-dim, now love it again now that I downloaded the update. I would
recommend this TV for anyone looking to upgrade to HD.
Additional support for Sony Bravia S Series
and others
I bought this TV knowing about the brightness issue and the fix that
Sony provides. I installed the software update and I love the quality
of the picture I get in TV, DVD, and gaming modes.
Yes, the software update can be downloaded to a compatible USB
storage device (flash drive), but if you don't have a compatible flash
drive on hand there is no need to go out and buy one for a one time use.
Call Sony at 1-800-222-7669 to request the update be mailed to you
free of charge. They will send the update to you on a USB storage
device, along with instructions on how to perform the update.
If you have a USB flash drive on hand, but you're not sure if it's a
compatible storage device, the following link will provide a list.

I hope this info helps.
Enjoy your Sony Bravia!
Overall a GREAT Purchase!
I purchased this tv after carefully weighing the pros and cons with
what little information I could find. Overall I am not disappointed.
Being a relatively newer model reviews were hard to come by and the one
review I found was here on Amazon and it was a bad review. It mentioned
the Auto contrast feature included on the Bravia models and complained
that during some movies it would darken too much and make the flick
unwatchable. I have watched quite a few movies at this point and have
not noticed it to be a problem except for maybe during opening credits.
I also Game alot on this tv, My 360 and PS3 look amazing through
the HDMI and even my Wii looks pretty good(as good as a Wii can look).
This is a great tv and the only thing I would change is the Auto
Contrast. It has an option to turn it off, but switching it to off
doesnt turn it of.. WTG Sony. :D Still a great tv
