Bought this a little over a month ago. I'm pretty much a novice at TVs and haven't played with too many options but overall it's a great TV. Easy to setup and get started. Only problem is when turning it on the volume is either all the way up or muted....but that's only occured about 3 times and hasn't happened in the past couple weeks. For under $1K, this is a great buy.

Very satisfied with this purchase. I did not want the features of the higher-priced items in the Bravia line; specifically, Motionflow. I've seen it and it makes movies look weird. Movies look best at 24fps, for some reason, so this was a great product for me. The only drawback I've found is that the optical digital audio output is down-mixed into two channels, even when watching a bluray disc (via HDMI) that has multi-channel output. So I had to instead hook up the bluray directly to my AV receiver unit first (a Yamaha RX-V465...excellent product), then send the AV output to the TV.

I would like more HDMI inputs, but no complaints. HDMI connection to my Blue Ray was touchy, but I worked through that. Great picture at all typical viewing angles. My friends are jealous. Bottom Line: Best bang for the buck.

We're very satisfied with this TV. The sound is good and we don't have great hearing- some reviews said it wasn't good but they must have meant for super sound. The picture is fantastic. Wish it had PIP but not a big deal.

I couldn't believe the price and must have called 3-4 times to make sure it wasn't a refurb. It's a great TV! Easy to set up, picture is amazing (been watching the Olympics and I feel like I'm sitting right there!), have it wired to our home theatre system which makes watching a movie (especially a BluRay) an amazing experience! The HD channels are crisp and clear. The non-HD channels look all right, but that's to be expected until they all switch over to HD and our cable company adds them. Overall, I'm very, very pleased with the decision to buy this TV.

TechTip: Cleaning Your LCD Monitor or TV
Now that you have your new LCD Monitor or Widescreen TV, it is important to use the right products to clean it.  The wrong cleaner can damage the surface of your display.  However, there are many new cleaning products on the market designed especially for LCD displays. We recommend using a soft, lint-free cloth and a special LCD cleaner.  (You can also use a cleaner that contains any of the following:  Water, Vinegar (mixed with water), or Isopropyl alcohol).  BUT Do Not Use cleaners that contain any of the following agents: Acetone, Ethyl alcohol, Ethyl acid, Ammonia, Methyl chloride!  Important: Do not spray any liquids directly on the LCD screen. Always apply the solution to your cloth first, not directly to the parts you are cleaning. Always use a soft cotton cloth. Some materials, such as paper towels or old rags can cause scratches and damage the LCD screen.

Understanding LCD Display Dead Pixels
A liquid crystal display (LCD) is a thin, electronic flat panel used to display information and images. It includes monitors for computers, televisions, instrument panels, and other devices ranging from aircraft cockpit displays, to every-day consumer devices such as video players, gaming devices, clocks, watches, calculators, and telephones. LCDs are simply everywhere now.

Its major features and benefits are: lightweight construction (compared to Plasma displays); portability (in the case of smaller displays); the ability to be produced in much larger screen sizes than were practical for older Tube (CRT) displays; and perhaps most important, its much lower power consumption.

Technically, an LCD display is an "electronically-modulated optical device" made up of any number of tiny pixels filled with liquid crystals and arrayed in front of a light source (backlight) or reflector to produce images in color.  The earliest discoveries leading to the development of LCD technology date from 1888. Today, tube CRT displays are almost a thing of the past!

Unfortunately, from time to time, a new LCD TV or Monitor will have a problem pixel.  This is where the physical crystal actually is stuck or frozen in place.  However, don't panic, since these can frequently be fixed.

There are three basic types of problem pixels:

  • a hot pixel (always on, usually white)
  • a dead pixel (always off, black)
  • a stuck pixel (one or more sub-pixels (red, blue or green) are always on or always off)

To solve a problem pixel, it is recommended to let the display fully warm up (leave on for at least a full day) - this alone can fix many problems, as the display expands due to warming and can free the pixel.  Always try this before calling for help.  Next, call the manufacturer's technical support for other techniques that they might recommend - each manufacturer may have different solutions for their products.  There are also other techniques that you might try, but always be careful not to damage your display, as this might void your warranty. 

LCD Problem Pixel Policy
In the event that warranty service or an exchange is required, it is important to understand that every manufacturer has their own dead pixel policies, and that they should be contacted about solutions before requesting any exchange.  We want you to experience the best possible image on your LCD, so typically, an LCD TV or Monitor with 5 hot, dead, or stuck pixels would qualify for an exchange within the first 30 days of ownership after support efforts have been exhausted.  See the product warranty below for more information.

LCD Technology: Response Time - Enabling crisp full-motion video
With the recent widespread use of PC and online games, and PCs equipped with DVD drives give users more opportunities to see moving images such as those in 3D games or action movies on screen. This increase in motion picture content means computer monitors must be able to display not only still images, but moving ones as well. Manufacturers and IT publications often cite a fast response time as an indication that a display can play videos or games with little or no blurring. Hence, we would like to share with you what response time is, and how helpful it is in determining how well an LCD display (TV or Monitor) can portray moving images.  Click here for our Guide To LCD Response Times »
