4.0 out of 5 stars A great picture, January 10, 2004

This television really does have a superior picture to most of what's out there. (unless you step up to a good quality plasma screen). The only issue I've had is with one corner of the set that gets some weird colors once in awhile. From what I was told, this occurs because of the sensitivity of the set to the magnetic north and that if I turned the set, the problem would likely go away. Besides that, dvds look perfect, and playstation 2 games are great looking on this set.

Let's admit it: not everyone is ready for HDTV yet. We thought we were, but after dragging home a 34" widescreen HD set and running analog cable through it, we were disappointed with the picture. All we wanted was a good set to replace an LCD front projector that was too clunky and noisy to watch DVDs and LDs on anymore. This set gets used 99% of the time as an everyday beater and in the few days since we exchanged the HD set, it does very well -- not as many PIP or POP options as the one we took back, but good enough for someone who'd never had it before. The V-compression 16:9 mode is very effective for DVDs and provides an excellent picture with a 480i DVD player. Haven't watched a laser disc yet, but should be better that the lousy job of upconverting that the HD set was trying to do. Beware -- better have a nice, strong TV stand to put it on. It's a heavy sucker!

2.0 out of 5 stars Cablebox too high for my room and harder to tune and picture unsharp, July 28, 2011

Listen I'm telling you that I don't recommend this TV because I have Cablevision and its hard to navigate through channels. I'm not really saying its unsharp but it is sharp (which I'm saying is that I like LCD Plasma HDTV better because it is the right sight for my eyes and I can't see without glasses). Even my Dad will say that this TV is garbage and he plans to get a new LCD Plasma HDTV. Sony knows better than this and it ain't stupid. This doesn't meet the standards as it should be. Period.
