Not Impressed My husband & i have tried everything to try to fix the picture. We can't read the words at the bottom of the picture or the sides. The peoples heads are cut of at the top of the screen. I would not purchase another sony. The Sony TV in our bedroom at times loses the sound. We have to reset everything. Sony isn't what it use to be. November 29, 2011

BAD PURCHASE We purchased this Sony TV about a 1 1/2 years ago. For the last 6 months the picture has increasingly gotten darker. We can barely see the picture anymore. Of course, it didn't begin doing this until the one year warranty was out. We have gotten NO support from SONY other than who to call for repair. So now we're stuck with a BIG tv and a picture that we can't see. In addition to problems with the picture, the volume fluctuates even with the steady sound feature that SHOULD prevent the sound from changing when going from a program to a commercial. We are VERY DISAPPOINTED with this tv. October 9, 2010

Amazing I bought this TV almost a year ago. Simply Amazing.. Everyone who sees the HD picture is blown away. The picture is so clear, television shows frequently look fake because of the clarity around the set. Family members have Samsung, Pioneer, Sharp, Hitachi, and Phillips, they all agree, THIS IS THE BEST.. Picture in Picture is great when connected properly, and the TV guide feature is very convenient. Highly recommend the W series. only Con: Older models do not have internet connection and newer ones do. A Bravia link or PS3 settles this though December 2, 2009

awsome wanted a samsung happy i went sony awsome picture.120hrtz is .......i cant explain you just have to see for your self.your friends and family will not believe there eyes.highly recomended. May 16, 2009
