voltage rating hi... am planning to move back to India, just needed a confirmation whether this unit would work in 240Volts 50hz AC power supply in india February 17, 2011

A SONY of my OWNY & I Love It! This is my first HDTV. I spent a long time researching and talking to people. This one has all the latest technology and the LED runs much cooler than LCD from what I understand. The WiFi adapter opens up an entire new world to TV and complemented by DirecTV, I have to be careful not to turn into a couch potato!! I have an old SONY 27" Trinitron that I moved into the bedroom - probably will last forever (and was way ahead ot its time, as SONY usually is), and I anticipate that this incredible replacement will do the same! I highly recommend this TV! February 11, 2011

Amazing clarity for play, work, and more play. Primary use is for my PS3 on games and Blu Ray movies. I also use this as a monitor for my computer. Third use is for watching cable TV. TV is very light and easy to unpack and place on my desk by myself. I upgraded from a 1 year old Samsung 32" and have no regrets. 3D performance is fantastic on 3D movies (Piranha 3D, Bolt 3D) and games (COD Black Ops, PAIN, and Motorstorm). Fast moving action remains clear. When I'm using the TV as a side monitor on my Windows Desktop, web pages and documents are extremely clear and easy to read. Simulated 3D mode is fun to play with, with desktop backgrounds and family photos. Remote control and and the menus are easy to understand and navigate. A built in, on demand manual and help guide... Wicked idea, and very informative. If/When it comes time to replace my 57" Toshiba HDTV in the living room, I'm certainly going to go with a BRAVIA. January 25, 2011

100% RECOMMEND, 3D SONY IT'S A GREAT HDTV.... I BOUGHT THIS TV COSE 240 MOSION FLOW, WITHOUT IT TV IS NO GOOD BUT THIS ONE IS A GREAT BUY LOVE EVERY SECOND OF WATCHING TV+3D OH YES.... 100%RECOMMEND IT January 14, 2011
