User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Sony quality for generic price.
This is my first venture in the HDTV era. I patiently waited for years waiting for price drops. LCD HDTV’s have finally become affordable and something rare… Sony has come out with an affortable decent size HDTV. This tv is sharp both aesthetically and the picture. I never saw this tv in person so I had no idea the bottom was clear plastic. It looks like solid silver in the pictures but it is clear in fact. It makes it look that much better. The sound is not great but HDTV’s are meant to be paired with entertainment speakers. There are two HDMI slots and tons of component slots. The TV is solid in short. I paired the TV with a sony upconverter (Which I will review as well), and that did wonders to my DVD collection. The picture was not near HD quality but it was without a doubt better than ever before. It did improve the picture and the colors are vivid and bright. I have standard expanded cable service and plugged the cable in before turning on the tv for the first time. When I turned on the tv it automatically searched for chanels and to my astonishment, found 30 digital channels and all local chanels in HD! Straight out of the cable! No box necessary! This made me think cable companies are ripping people off renting out HD boxes. My cable company (Cox) has told me and advertised the HD channels can only be accessed through their special HD box. This is true if you want MTV and 12 other cable channels in HD but not local channels. Needless to say, It was a very pleasant surprise as I don’t have to pay 17 bucks a month extra to see HD content.
The second HDMI cable was used by my PS3. I don’t need to say anything else but I’m in heaven. Here is the best part, this tv is one of the cheapest on the market and it’s a Sony! Morevoer, the shipping was free and no taxes! I checked the best buy website and found I would be paying 70 bucks more at my local store! Highly recommended.
5 Stars Great Buy: Great picture, easy setup, 1080p(hdmi only) and good price.
great picture quality, stylish look, runs 1080p through hdmi(tested with PS3), has a good number of connectors, energy star approved, great bang for the buck. Highly recommend it.
5 Stars Great Buy
This is an absolutely fantastic HDTV for the price and quality. Once I used an HDTV calibration bluray everything looked fantastic through my PS3. The set does look great out of the box but I would highly recommend everyone fine tune any set to get the most enjoyment out of it. This is a great set for gamers especially, although I would recommend it to anybody who is in the market. The price is unbeatable for a brand new HDTV with Sony Quality. The sound is decent but my surround sound arrived a few days after.
5 Stars Terrific High Def TV
I recently purchased this Sony model for my sun room as my third and final high def set. Not only am I very satisfied with the picture and quality that Sony builds into their tvs, the set arrived before the actual date of delivery and was very easy to set up with my Direct TV system. Sony has a reputation for building quality products and this tv model is no exception. Color and texture of picture is stunning, bright and vivid. My only issues and they are minor relates to the fifteen second delay (blank screen) I get when I first turn on the set. The other issue (again a minor one) is the sound is average at best but acceptable.
Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone who is considering 32″ HDTV for a reasonable price. 720 vs. 1080, I do not see any discernible difference in the picture comparisons between the two.Hence, my suggestion is to go with the 720 with the much lower pricetag.
