5.0 out of 5 stars Audio Problem Solved March 24, 2011

By Christy

Size Name:40-Inch

Sony has solved the typical flat screen audio problems with their KDL40EX620 model. We bought another 40" flat screen TV a couple of weeks ago and had to return it because of the very poor sound quality. After a lot of internet research I came across this Sony model that indicated they had improved the audio. They were not exagerating! The sound quality is crisp, clear and great in every way. If you are shopping for a 40" flat screen TV be sure and check this one out!

5.0 out of 5 stars My New Sony TV June 29, 2011

By JD808

Size Name:55-Inch

I just got my new 55" Bravia EX620, and wow what a difference from my Samsung. First the screen is so thin, and the picture goes to the edge of the cabinet. The picture is a huge improvement, so clear you would swear you could touch what you are viewing. I wasn't sold on the whole LED picture thing but wow what a great picture. One of the things that just drove me "Mad" about the Samsung was the long wait time for the screen to turn on. The Samsung was so bad that my son broke the button on the TV, not knowing if he turned the TV on or not. With the Sony it turns on in a flash, NO WAITING. For my family this was a great investment. I have small kids and they are always leaving the TV on. This TV senses if anyone is in the room and shuts itself off, very cool. I also like how the TV will sense the lighting in the room and automatically adjust the picture to suite the lighting conditions.

I also have a Sony BlueRay theater SystemSony BDV-E780W Blu-Ray Disc Player Home Entertainment System (Black). I read many bad reviews about the sound not being good on the TV itself, but I found the quality to be ok. When I want to get the full "Movie" experience I use my BlueRay System. No sound issues there. Because systems are both Sony they sync together and work together. I really like that.

One of the neat things about this TV that I just discovered is you can download a free Iphone App and control the TV right from your phone. If your house is like mine, you are always searching for the romote. I usually have my phone handy so I can adjust the volume, or turn the channel without wasting time looking for the lost remote. If you want to take advantage of Iphone App you will need to purchase the Sony UWA-BR100Sony USB Wi-Fi Adapter. The adapter is overpriced but it works well, and I look at it like this. Yes it is overpriced (79.99) for what it is, but it allows me to access the on-line content from Netflix and Youtube etc.......... For me having my phone control both the TV and the BlueRay player was what I was looking for, and you need the UWA-BR100 to do that.

If you are looking for a great picture this is the one for you. If you want the "Movie" experience, pick up the BlueRay theater System. If you do you will feel like you are part of the action. Now every night is movie night. Popcorn anyone??

4.0 out of 5 stars Super picture April 17, 2011

By RW

Size Name:40-Inch|Amazon Verified Purchase

Picture quality is excellent, but I have had a few issues with garbled/distorted sound & with sound and picture (lip movement and voice) not in sync. This has happened 2-3 times in the last month, and seems to only happen when watching streaming video from the internet. Cycling the power resolves the issues. Hopefully Sony is working on a patch.....
Main reason for selecting this model was that it would fit into the space available. All other brands/models would only allow up to a 37". While I didn't think streaming video was a feature I would use, I watch this more than Dish.
The built in speakers provide good sound quality (tone, volume), relative to speaker size, and the 14' x 18' room size.
