Customer Review: Great investment

I have had this TV for 2 months now and could not be happier. This set produces excellent picture quality, amazing black levels and vibrant colors. The new Bravia Engine 2 also improves with 120Hx motion processing from Sony XBR4 line. My TV is located in a well lit room and the semi-matte display was a must. This TV delivers many useful settings to let you have the full freedom of making this TV truly yours. The PQ on 1080p material such as blu-ray movies or games is phenomenal. Broadcasted 1080i/720p HD sources look very good - all depending on your provider and signal strength. SD quality is good too but again it varies from channel to channel.
For everyday use, this TV will get some immediate props for its picture delivery from any viewer. If you like sports, you can expect unrivaled video processing of fast action. If you enjoy movies, this Sony offers specific combination of settings to complement the true 24p cinematic picture.
Since blu-ray movies are still expensive I have done a lot of testing by watching normal DVD's on my PS3 - and I have to tell you, those DVDs look better that HD broadcasts from Comcast. If feels almost unreal when you get to watch older movies with such clarity as if those movies were shot just few years ago.
Keep in mind that sets vary and your have a different environment - so you don't have to use these settings verbatim. But it should give you a good start without professional calibration. Just make sure not to leave the setting at the default given Vivid - since companies set most TVs at the brightest picture setting to compete against other sets in the bright store rooms. Otherwise you may be get a second hand tan from the picture =)

Sound quality is excellent if you are not planning a more powerful sound system. The set features plenty of ports - so you can accomodate various multiples of your electronics.
I hope you love this TV as much as I do. Enjoy!

Customer Review: Sony Bravia
Excellent and speedy delivery. Ordered it on Saturday and it was delivered and set up on Wednesday (4 days). Very easy to set up. Very intuitive controls, instructions and features. Excellent speakers. Excellent picture. We do not have cable; the TV is hooked up to our old $19.99 set of rabbit ear antennas. We get all the free broadcast HDTV programming without any difficulty and with excellent reception. Very easy to connect laptop to set. DVD and VCR hook-ups also very easy.
