Customer Reviews
A Wow Item - Just Terrific
Just received this last week. Of course, Amazon beat any other
pricing by a wide margin - by at least $500 for the cheapest store
bought price (on sale) and I even checked some stores on a walk in and
they were charging $1,000 above the Amazon price or more. Delivery was
free and could not wait to get this set out of the box. I researched a
great many LCD's before picking this one. I wanted the very latest
technology to ward off obsolesence, at the best price I could find, and
am not disappointed one bit by this set. Easy set up, and just with the
building's digital antenna, the picture is absolutely outstanding.
There are many presets, but with a bit of tweaking, as it appears with
most LCDs, you get a terrific picture. You can customize each preset if
you wish. Setting adjustments are intuitive and the screen navigation
is very easy. Sound is pretty decent as well, although I already have
it hooked into my AV. I have already watched sports, television and
DVDs and all have been as crisp, vibrant, without drag or latency, as I
have ever seen on an LCD this size. The contrast ratio is just unreal
and my eyes are still getting used to it. Plenty of input/output
options including plenty of HDMI and even ethernet and PC connections.
Having Fios HD installed this week and can't wait to see how it looks.
So far, am very satisfied and would definitely recommend at the price.
Thanks Amazon!
Amazing picture
I bought this TV because of Sony's legendary reputation in beautiful
pictures and previous experience with the XBR line. As expected, the
picture is absolutely great. If you want amazing HDTV, then this set is
for you. The TV has a very simple and understated front, which I like a
lot. The Amazon delivery was great! Two men brought it into the
house, put it where we wanted it, connected it, turned it on and checked
the remote for operation. The deliveryman was familiar with the TV and
went above and beyond by doing the initial setup, which admittedly was
simple, but not something he was required to do. There are only two
drawbacks so far. The stand is flimsy feeling and wobbles like a weeble
if you bump the set. My XBR4 had a rock solid stand. I just attached a
cable to the wall for piece of mind (didn't want it falling on the
grand kids). The second thing is a lack of PIP or P&P, both of
which were on my KDL40XBR4. Bottom line--love it so far.
Excellent TV but still wondering if I should
have opted for LED or Plasma...
I got this TV two weeks ago. As an admitted unapologetic Sony
"fanboy" I had high expectations. The display is beautiful especially
when viewing blu-ray's or HD sources. However in an extremely dark
scene it is evident that LCD's still have a ways to go when it comes to
contrasting blacks. I have played around with settings and even
adjusted the custom setting to those recommended in CNet's review of the
TV but it still leaves much to be desired.
Pros:
Excellent response time and display when viewing HD sources.
A lot of options for customizing to fit your personal taste.
A ton of extras (mostly accessed if/when you hook your TV up to your
home internet network). The widgets and video on demand are fun
features but likely not something that will be for the average user.
Cons: Black contrasts still aren't near the level displayed in
Plasmas and the LED technology also looks to be a major improvement in
this area.
Display of SD (standard definition/non HD) content leaves much to be
desired. Going from an old Sony 36" CRT HDTV (HS510) standard
definition played extremely well on that model and HD sources looked
great also. On this model (like with most LCD's) the SD sources look
worse than they normally do on non HD tubes.
One area that I have yet to decide if it is a pro or a con is the
input jacks. The back only has one HDMI input where as the side has 3.
I really think Sony should have put two on the back and two on the side
but at least the ones on the side are recessed enough to where the
wires aren't visible unless you are standing near the side of the tv.
I have already gotten compliments on the glass bezel that surrounds
the screen and this tv definitely passes the "eye test" as far as
attractiveness. The SONY logo at the bottom can be dimmed or turned
off if you find it distracting (I thought this was a nice touch).
I am happy with the purchase but all-in-all if I had to do it over I might wait
