Sony Bravia as good as expected; superb I have used Bravia TV's at work and have always been impressed with the picture quality. I finally bought one for myself and I am just as pleased. I have other top brand TV's and have been pleased, but this one is definitely the best. My 8 year old DLP TV dies on new years eve and I was planning on watching some football, so I checked online to see who was still open (7:30 pm) and ran off to the closest store. They had a few brands in the 40 to 42 inch range and the Sony was only $20 more than the rest of them. I got it home, set it up in about 10 minutes, including attaching the base, and was watching HDTV once again. I was initially extremely impressed with the picture quality and watched the re-play of the new years eve game that night. Compared to other 60Hz 1080p HDTVs, I would say that the Sony Bravia line is exceptional. I just wish there were more HDMI ports since the PlayStation and Xbox have already used up the two available. I do not think I could have made a better choice. January 2, 2013
CLOSED CAPTION NEEDS MORE AUDIO INPUT'S, WOULD LIKE OPTICAL AUDIO INPUT. OTHERWISE GREAT TV. CONTACTING CUSTOMER SUPPORT FOR CC PROBLEM, WILL COMMENT ON THAT AFTER I HEAR FROM THEM. August 22, 2012
Not worth the price I purchased this tv 2 days ago got it home hooked it up an realized in the upper left hand and right hand corners the screen was white almost like to spot lights shining up into the sky forming a v into the middle of the screen. They are mostly seen in dark scenes durning a movie or just when the screen gets dark they are so bright it covers up some of the picture I tried lowering the back light and brightness but it didn't effect the lights at all so I returned it thinking it was defective and today revived my new one hooked it up and no lights I wa happy till about 30 minutes of use and the lighting showed up. I reget buying the tv and wish I'd have bought a Vizio They might be less responsive on games but at least I can see the tv. April 10, 2012
good tv i am happy with this baby. April 2, 2012
