only the best I bought this unit after owning a kld32 720p not that it was not a good tv. but it did not hsve the bravia sync and features i wanted. i lookede real hard and found this tv on sale and feel in love with it.i am adding all avalible option to this tv incuding the dmx dvd player, ht-ct400 sound bar, and a ps3 for the blue ray player. this will be one bad---system.

Amazing Picture This TV has an amazing HD picture, with brilliant colours and realistic tones. Connectivity is a snap with my Location Free TV base station being nearby, I was able to easily connect this TV and my Sony Blu-Ray to my network via ethernet. The HD picture is so amazing that when you watch it - it feels like the first day you get a new prescription on your glasses. Everything looks so sharp and clear. My only complaint is that the remote that comes with the TV will operate even non-Sony receivers but it will not control my Sony ES Receiver (ES are their top of the line products). Unbelievable. I spent 6 hours on the phone with their tech support people trying to get a code for my receiver and I was told it is not available. Nor is it a learning remote. So thay have programmed in, all kinds of competitor brands of receivers, but ignored at least one of their own top-of-the-line units. It was a very expensive receiver, and you would think that everything they do would be backward compatible - especially to their ES line or products. So beware those with Sony ES Receivers ... check out whether the remote will work for you or not. March 17, 2009

Best Tv I have ever had. Good looking Tv, beautiful picture,Easy to use, lots of extras. March 16, 2009

Good Things Come To Those Who Wait This is the first TV that my wife and I have ever bought. The last TV we had was an old 30 inch tube with a nick in the glass that was a hand-me-down from my Brother-In-Law with only one input, coax. I can tell you that the difference is as greater that that between a candle and a CFL light bulb! The digital tuner with just our old antenna picks up 30 MORE broadcast stations and the HD broadcasts are insane. The motion on sports broadcasts in HD are so smooth and clear I feel like I'm at the stands. I've used the HDMI to stream online video from my favorite shows and the sound and picture quality are better than the old analog broadcasts of those same shows. I highly recommend this TV.
