 Works as a Sony should March 3, 2008
Mr. Paul Millennas (UK)
I must admit that I bought the Sony TV as I wanted my Sony PVR remote control to work both the TV and the PVR. I was in the opinion that any medium priced TV would give adequate performance.
The TV has excelled in all areas. It has shown up my PVR as I switch between the PVR and the Digital TV. It can keep up with fast motion without being "blocky".
One point that is above and beyond the call of duty. The sound system. I used to use a surround-sound system but now make do with the stereo TV speakers. The integral speakers do not look large but really do the business! It seems to throw the stereo wider than seems possible.
I bought this at 619, just when flat screen TV prices were falling. Now it is over 1,000. What's going on? I'd be tempted at buying two 500 32" flat screen TVs for that money!

The TV is fantastic... what can I say.
I bought the TV from Pixmania for 600 6 months ago.
Why is it so expensive to buy now? Can't find the model even on the Sony web site now?
Tell me if you know..
Great TV January 17, 2008

I've had this about 6 months and just wanted to say that it's a great TV. Perhaps I am not a very demanding customer, but to my eye the picture is great and the sound excellent. Excellent connectivity. Perhaps the EPG could be a little more impressive, but other than that it's a well built, pleasing on the eye (on and off) TV.

The picture quality is good for an LCD TV. Don't use the factory settings, look online and you will find how it should be set up for home use. There is 'motion blur', a slight effect on moving objects or when the camera pans, but that's common on most LCD sets. Some viewers won't even notice it. But it's still quite not up to the old CRT standards of sharpness, especially on moving objects. The sound is not so good. As others have remarked, there is very little bass. I am sure Sony could have engineered better sound quality if they had wanted; small speakers can, surprisingly, give good lower frequencies.
But I can live with that.
What I can't live with is a vertical red line on screen 5 cm from the left hand side. I notified Amazon, who said to send it back. As they no longer stock this TV, they would give a full refund as it's only a couple of months old and otherwise as new. A company called HDNL was going to collect it. But that means, at short notice, getting a day off work. For me, that's not easy, and after some delays I'm going to have to contact Amazon to re-re-arrange collection. I'm now booking a number of days off work. Because of course I've also get to get a replacement TV. And do you know what these courier companies are like? I was given a two and a half hour time-slot (fixed by the courier, not me). Great..
Why can't Amazon send an engineer out to just repair it? I already know it's the digital tuner in the TV that's at fault. Well, I think you'll find all online companies will want you to send back the TV if it develops a fault. And currently (read other reviews) Sony at least don't seem to be too good on reliability (I've bought Sony for 30 years and this is the first of their TV's to give a problem. Standards falling to keep prices down?).
Anyway, the outcome is , when eventually I get the TV back to Amazon, and get a refund, I'm going to a local TV shop which stocks some superb Panasonic Plasma TVs (still the best). It will mean paying about 150 more, but I think it's worth it. A five year guarantee. Service by their own engineer, in your own house. And a loan telly if it comes to that.
And no waiting around for bloody couriers.
Great picture and easy to set up. October 30, 2007

I've had this TV for just one week. I ordered it on a Thursday and it arrived the very next day. Thank you Amazon!!
Briefly, the TV settings are set for viewing in a showroom, so brightness and contrast are on maximum.
I was really shocked by how awful it looked when I first switched it on - thankfully, all it needed was a huge tweak of the settings.
If anyone wants to improve the picture quality as an immediate 'quick fix', I've set mine like this:
FIRST: Select 'Tools' on the remote control, and choose Power Saving. Next, make sure it is set to 'low' or else you won't be able to adjust
the backlight (crucial for making the black parts look 'black')
NEXT: Go to 'Menu' and scroll up to 'Settings' and select. This puts you in 'Picture Mode'. From there, try the following adjustments. This is only intended as a quick fix while you work out the menus for yourself.
Backlight - Minimum
Contrast - 80
Brightness - 40
Colour - 40
Colour temperature - Cool
Sharpness - 7
Noise reduction - Off
Also, once you're in this menu, take a look at the top where it says: "Target Inputs" - you'll see an option for 'Viewing Only' and in the dropdown menu the other option is 'All'.
Don't select 'All'. The beauty of selecting 'viewing only' is that once you get the picture as you want it, it will be 'set' for that particular input.
When you put a DVD or tape in, you'll need to choose your picture settings for that input - and once again they'll be saved.
If you select 'All' - it means the picture settings you used for the TV input will be applied to every other input - and as you'll see, one picture setting doesn't suit each input. Once you've adjusted the picture settings - you won't have to do it again.
The only reason I knocked one star off is because my old 28" Sony Trinitron had a much fuller sound. The Bravia has smaller speakers and sound quite tinny compared to the old TV. There are sound settings to play around with though, and overall, it's good enough and the fantastic picture is well worth such a minor niggle.
One other thing, I bought the Thor Scart to Scart 1.5m from Amazon as well for 17.99. It really makes a difference to the colour reproduction and 'ghosting' which can occur with inferior cables. I have to say the picture was good without the Thor lead, but I wanted to get the best out of the TV and thought 17.99 wasn't a bad price to pay for the improvement it's made.
