Optimal Viewing Experience

Various lighting conditions such as daylight, fluorescent lamps, or incandescent bulbs can impact your TV's picture making the images appear washed out or too bright. Ambient Sensor automatically detects the TV's color and brightness based on the room's lighting conditions, then adjusts the image accordingly so you get a natural looking picture.
- Ambient Sensor
Your Presence Is Required

If Elvis left the room, the EX700 would know. This HDTV has a Presence Sensor which detects if you've stepped away from your TV and automatically turns the picture off. If after 30 minutes, the sensor still doesn't detect movement in the room, the set turns off completely.

Flip the Switch to Save Power

Did you know that most TVs consume power even when turned off? The EX700 is equipped with an Energy Saving Switch, which when flipped to the off position reduces power consumption of the TV to zero.

converted in to bed room tv this one has more picture clarity than any other March 3, 2013

Cost A lot, Many Limitation, No Usefull Features I bought this TV three years back, it is supposed to have great online services and connectivity with DLNA. 1- Its DLNA is almost useless. the models which came after it have better connectivity but this one although costs me a lot still till now they did not fix its issues. 2 - Although the interface is Arabic I cannot search youtube in Arabic 3- The media format this TV support is very limited. 4- Does not support MHL, the cable with connects mobiles to TV HDMI port. I tried cables from 6 vendors and on Galaxy S2, S3 and Note II all did not work on this TV. 5- The apps in Android market to control BRAVIA TV all do not working on this one. 5- This TV had a feature that I can send it links to open in its browser, although it did not work very well they removed it. so instead of increasing its features with update they are removing them. 6- Does not connect with Windows Media Player and hangs Right now I advice my friends and family to not ever by a Sony TV since it does not have updates and no compatibility with other media format or devices. It is closed source. This is the last device I am buying. I value choices. January 18, 2013

Worest TV I've ever purchased I purchased this set 13 month ago, it "was" a great TV. However, it is no longer working. It decided to stop working exactly one month after the warranty period expired...Thanks Sony. I have three other Sony TVs in the house and all are working fine. They are all older LCDs. I may have to rethink purchasing another Sony. I would not recommend this set to anyone. I would look at some of Sony's competitors before investing on another Sony. November 26, 2011

with out an optical audio input I cannot input sound from Sony PS3, The HDMI input does not input AUDIO. Do you have any suggestions? November 15, 2010
