very pleased new ownerMay 29, 2008 I have had this tv for about a month and a half now. Delivery through Amazon was flawless. I immediately upgraded to a time-warner HD cable box. After resetting the picture options to much more realistic and pleasing colors, brightness, and contrast I must say that I am thoroughly delighted with the performance of this set. HD channels are amazing, SD channels are quite good. Wish Time-Warner had more HD channels. I am using HDMI from the cable box without any problems and component cables from a standard DVD player. The DVD picture is a little better than SD but I am definitely considering an upgrade to a Blu-ray player as soon as the prices drop a little. At $1299 with free delivery I feel this TV is an excellent value. I understand SONY has just released their new models, which probably accounts for the discount on this one.
Service request is a nightmare!May 28, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Product is fine except there are two horizonal lines on the screen (missing Pixels). It has been well over a month since I made a request for repair from a Sony authorized repair organization. My opinion: if you buy a Sony product, keep your fingers crossed that it does not need service.
Love this TVMay 27, 2008 I can't think of anything bad to say about this TV. The color is great, the size and weight are fine. The connector options are adequate. I use Time Warner and have found that if I use an HDMI connection to the cable box all other connection options are shut down. I recall earlier, with another TV that the installing Time Warner technicians warned me from trying to use HDMI service with Time Warner, at least here in California. I think the HD picture I get using component connections is fine. The TV does appear top-heavy and the manual makes a big deal about strapping it to the wall. A strap comes with it, that I found unusable, but I did buy a furniture strap and have strapped it to the wall, which we do here in Southern California. But it could be pulled over or knocked over any other place as well. BTW I had no problem with the delivery service, in that it arrived with no problems. They didn't offer to unpack it, and I didn't have them to so.
Not surprisedMay 20, 2008 I had my PS3 long before I purchased a HDTV because I wasn't sure which to one to buy.I thought about Sony but the price is always a bit more that the rest. It was only after I had placed the order that I went to a store and saw about four other well known brands along with the Sony all showing the same DVD and all using the same type of cables.It was then that I knew that I had made the right choice.I now have to watch over all of my Blu-Ray disk because there are certain things that just couldn't see on my older TV(which is a Sony Trinitron that I had for about 12 years and still works). As for the the quality when playing PS3 games this TV trully shines it seems like it was built for gaming and you will notice this when you hit the home key remote and the XMB shows up on the screen. Change the picture settings to Games/Text and be blown away by the quality. The local TV broadcast are just as good as the previous TV. Good things still come to those who wait esspcially since I got mine at $1369 brand new.
Good ChoiceMay 14, 2008 It works very well. In the specification, it doesn't show it has a RF connector. It does have one. It can receive analog and digital channels from cable without any settop box. The vivid mode is too bright like others said, but you have the custom mode to set your settings. I though that 46" would be better. When I got the 40" set, I realized that it is right size for my room, watching from 8 to 10 ft away. Otherwise you have to turn your head around to get the full view. I tried the PC DB-15 connector and two HDMI connectors with my Dell Vista laptop. The 1920x1080 resolution works very stably. My last 27" Sony CRT failed after 10 years hard working. I hope this one can perform as well. I recommend this Sony TV.
