    1st review

    I've owned a 4071 since November, and I'm very happy with it overall. It's generally a beautiful display, but a few small quirks keep it from being perfect:

    1. On small objects moving horizontally, you'll occasionally get a "triple ball" effect, where ghost images of, say, the football or baseball you're watching will appear ahead of and behind the object. This occurs even when the 120Hz feature is turned off on my set.

    2. Shadow detail is lacking in extremely dark scenes. As long as there's a bright object or two on screen, you're fine, but if the entire frame is dim, it's very hard to achieve an appealing picture. Things get muddy. I've seen this result using a variety of sources, including a DVD player using component inputs, Comcast HD cable on component and later using HDMI, a Mac Mini connected to the PC input, and an XBox 360 using HDMI.

    Apart from those issues, I'm very happy with the display. colors are bright and vibrant. Contrast is very good. Menus are sensible and very easy to navigate. The 120Hz option is nice for live sporting events, but not something you'll want to use on movies, as it lends them a distracting, artificially smooth look.

    A bit expensive but the dynamic contrast ratio is fairly high, way better than the bravia I bought for 400 bucks less 2 years ago. I bet the image is amazing at 1080p
