Value:  

Green dye for beer, novelty leprechaun hats, and snack mix are pretty minor expenses compared to the Bravia M4000. But, considering that it will last a few years and fuel your entertainment center for years to come, the Bravia M4000 is a sound investment. With 720p resolution, a built-in digital tuner, HDMI input and PC input, you can expect optimal performance from the 19-inch Sony Bravia M4000 that will still be cutting edge next St. Patrick’s Day. Not too shabby for less than four hundred bucks.

Cultural Appeal:  

Did we mention that the Sony Bravia M4000 ships in green? Everybody knows that in addition to drinking spirits and overeating, making sure everything around you is green is the greatest way to honor the life and martyrdom of St. Patrick. The Sony Bravia M4000 is green, but it isn’t such a bright Crayola green that you’ll be forced to put it in storage until next St. Paddy’s Day.

Party Potential:  

Whether you’re throwing the party at your place, at a friend’s or at work, the Sony Bravia M4000 can join you. It has a handle on top that makes it conveniently portable. At 16 pounds, it’s only slightly heavier than a large laptop. As far as LCD TV sets go, the Sony Bravia M4000 manages to produces some decent sound too, so you won’t need to bring separate speakers.

The Sony Bravia M4000 is an all around great TV—it’s portable, functions as a computer monitor and has high resolution—that will add a touch of personality to any St. Patrick’s Day festivities. Just choose your holiday movies carefully, the IRA and Irish potato famine can be downers on a traditional day of celebration. But then again, even movies blue in tone can't compromise this green TV, St. Patrick's Day or not.
