 Great TV, so-so delivery July 17, 2008
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
I went to look at this TV (and others) at the local Circuit City, and couple of things struck me. First, these TVs will look much larger in your home than in the stores. You need a big room for a big TV, unless maybe you have a dedicated theater room with nothing but AV equipment and a couch. This is not that kind of TV ... but it is a huge step up from your typical CRT (old style) TV.
Next, all these TVs look good, but the Sony's picture is wonderful - I received my TV just in time for baseball's All-Star game, and it was great. Setup is easy. The only downside might be that you will be disappointed in the appearance of any NTSC channels you still watch... partly due to the large screen and partly by comparison to HD channels.
Seems like the "white glove" delivery service varies by locale. For me, the driver clearly wanted to do as little as possible and get out. Delivery, but nothing more ... plus they require the usual 4 hour delivery window.
Amazon did have the cheapest price I found for this TV though, when you consider the sales tax. You can buy the TV locally for the same price, but you'll have to pay tax.
All in all, I'm very satisfied.
Decent August 5, 2008

I love the look of the set it has a good picture and sound quality.
It is a good price for the money. However I have noticed that it will give off a large static noises and popping sounds when over heated. This scares me.
 Great Buy June 23, 2008

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.
Nice value for a flat screen HDTV November 13, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
I was in the market for upgrading the last of the CRT televisions in the house. For a viewing distance of about 12 feet, I needed something relatively big enough for that distance, that had HD capability, was inexpensive and reliable.
Other flatscreen TVs around the house that I own include a Panasonic Viera 50" Plasma 85 Series, Sony 37" Plasma, Sony 32" Bravia LCD.
SETUP:
The television is relatively light and I was able to connect the base to the television and lift it upon the stand without too much effort. 3 phillips screws were all that was necessary.
After initializing the television for language, the autoprogram feature for channels worked relatively quickly picking up about 66 analog and 111 digital channels.
USE:
The remote is a no frills highly functional remote with standard buttons. The menu system is clear and intuitive. The buttons of the remote are large and it is easy to read, for a farsighted person like myself.
IMAGE QUALITY:
Standard definition and high definition picture quality are excellent for the price. You can choose Custom, Vivid or Standard settings (I chose Vivid). 720p resolution is great for a TV of this size. 1080p does not play a part in resolution until you get up to 46".
SOUND QUALITY:
With the external speakers, I thought that the sound would have been above average. However, I think this is where the price point reveals itself. Sacrifice sound for everything, else. This is definitely not a deal breaker, you can always opt for an external speaker system or run the TV with a receiver or speaker - if this is your primary TV.
PRACTICAL ISSUES:
2 HDMI inputs allow for a cable box and Blu-ray player. Component input for HDTV is another option.
VERDICT:
Overall, this is a nice value for a television that will be primarily for the guests - or when I want to get away from the crowd in the house. Just keep in mind, the sound is just average in quality.
Best value for money and a brand name to boot June 27, 2008

Compared Sony and Vizio and went with Sony for just $70 more.
The picture quality is amazing and at 32" there is no discernable difference between 720p and 1080p. The setup is a breeze and the QAM tuner can get some extra digital channels from cable at no extra charge.
Not much pixelation during action and the backlight feature makes viewing a pleasure.
