Customer Reviews:
Good picture quality for the price you payAugust 19, 2008 This is the 3rd HDTV that I have owned in the past 3 years. The first 2 I've had were Panasonic's which did well for their time. I was blown away at the picture quality of this TV for the price I paid. It was on clearance when I purchased it and saved more then 30% off the street price.
The biggest improvement to this technology that I've seen has been the 3 LCD chips that allow the separation of the color bands. This provides more accurate color reproduction. Also with the auto iris technology that Sony employs in this TV, it vastly improves the contrast ratio of the set.
I've had the set for almost 2 years and have not had to have a bulb replacement (knock on wood). Although buying the 4 year warranty will save me the day the bulb does burn out.
Some people have complained about fan noise with these TVs although the noise level is not louder than a fridge or a computer in low power mode. It does not take away from the viewing experience in my opinion.
The only complaint I have is the lack of a 3rd HDMI input, but most sets these days I notice do not have more than 2. It'd be nice to be able to plug in my Dish Network receiver, Xbox 360 and my upconverting DVD player.
I didn't give this 5 stars because I do not feel it is the perfect TV, it is however a GREAT value. On the green side of things it takes less energy than a 40-inch flat-panel LCD.
We Love Our SONY TVOctober 28, 2007 We are more than pleased with this SONY 55inch proj TV. I shopped for an LCD and/or plasma TV.. but really got a lot more for my $$ with this TV. The picture is just great!.. even better than I had hoped for. The sound is ok for everyday TV watching,.. but to really enjoy movies and concert DVDs.. add a home theater system.
BEST OF ALL.. at Sears I got a super deal.. The TV was on sale for $1199.. plus I got another $250 off for using a SEARS card (paid it off the next week.. no interest). A few days later I found this TV on sale again for $989.. Called SEARS.. they gave me back $210.. so I ended up buying this TV for $739... what a deal!
Really super TV, Great ValueOctober 17, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have been a Sony fan for years. Despite this, I let myself get talked out of buying a Sony HDTV in favor of a 50 inch Panssonic Plasma. Well the plasma picture was great but in short order it became obvious the unit was defective and I returned it. (see my review on the Panasonic)
So, when faced with the decision again on which TV to buy I went back to Sony. For some reason the sales rep at BB still did not like the Sony. She said if you get right up on top of the TV it has the appearence of looking through a "screen door". Well it's a 55 inch TV, I am never closer than 8 feet away, and can't see what in the world she is talking about. In the store the pic looked just as good as the 1080 TVs sitting next to it.
I bought the Sony, got it deliverd and WOW!!!!! Great picture, perfect viewing angles for all the seats in my family room, and it is just plug and play. No worries about burn in or image retention. This is the ultimate TV for watching sports. The picure is wonderful. The included speakers are also pretty darn good, but I do use my Sony Home Theater System now. Also hooked up my Sony Up-Convert DVD player, and Spiderman never looked better!
OK, why 4 stars???? DLP, and other projection styles TVs do not handle the shades of black as well as plasma, plain and simple. No a big deal for sports but a minor issue with movies. This unit does use the XL-2400 bulb, and I have found them online for @$150.
All in all, I love this TV. It was hundreds of dollars less than the 50 inch plasma and I love watching it. I a o glad I bought it!
great tv for the priceFebruary 4, 2007 12 out of 12 found this review helpful
Yes, if you are in the store comparing them side by side, the newest 1080p units for $800.00 plus or more do look a little better, but not that much. Got it home plugged it in, let it search for channels, in Dallas area we have a dozen or more, it found them all and they all come in perfect. Plugged in my sat rec, dvd player, great picture!! It is really a bargain too, I found it at my local Fry's for $1299.00. If you have to have the latest spend more. If you want a good all round TV this will do the trick!
