 Nice TV for the price! August 26, 2009

I'm not a big TV person, so I can't compare this TV to others. I actually purchased this TV to play my PS3 on it, which is great!!!!! The games at 1080p look absolutely flawless. I can't really make a lot of comments about the functions, but there are a lot of them. Everything looks great and for the price it's great, and it's a SONY!
Three months later, here is a review update:
This is still a good TV, especially when I purchased it 3 months ago. However, over the course of 3 months the HDMI connections started doing some weird things.
My set up is very simple: HDMI 1 is connected to my Digital Cable, HDMI 2 is connected to my SONY PS3 and HDMI 3 is connected to my SONY DVD upscale player. The problems I started having was the HDMI connections weren't reading the signals sent by each component. At first I though it was the digital cable, because I stopped getting a signal. So, I had my cable company come out to my house three times and the last time they exchanged the digital DVR cable box with a new one. However, I noticed that when I turned on my DVD upscale using the "Bravia" features, I could no longer get a signal from my digital cable. So I unplugged the HDMI 1 (digital cable) and connected it to HDMI 3 (DVD upscale), then I received a cable signal. Same thing was happening to my PS3 (HDMI 2). It was like the PS3 and the DVD player kept knock'en out the cable signal.
So after hours of troubleshooting this ongoing problem, I realized, it wasn't my digital cable boxes, PS3 or DVD player, it was the TV itself and since it was over 90 days, since the day I purchased it, I couldn't return it to Wal-mart. So I called SONY and come to find out, SONY apparently knows about this problem. So SONY sent me a software update in the form of a USB drive. I received the USB drive, connected it to the back of the TV and the TV updated the software. The process took about 3 minutes and so far, everything is working fine.
I guess the biggest problem I have with this situation is that, if SONY knows this TV need a software update, why don't they recall the TV or send the software update to each store that is selling the TV, so customers don't have to go through this madness? So I wrote this review to warn customers who's buying this TV and those who brought this TV of what to expect as you connect components to this TV using the HDMI ports over time. I would also recommend buying an extended warranty, just to be safe in the long run. I would also change my rating and give it 4 stars if I could, but I can't.
Wonderful television for the money December 10, 2009

It's amazing how LCD televisions have come down in price. I have a 46" XBR2 that I bought for almost 3x the price of this one around 3 years ago. And the funny thing is this television and my XBR2 have exactly the same specs--46', 60Hz, 1080p. It's amazing.
This television is not 240Hz and it's not LED-backlit. But guess what, it is good enough! I sometimes can't help but feel that TV manufacturers add new features and increase specs so that they can justify an higher price. I think there is a term for this--planned obsolescence.
I mean, you probably would get a slightly better picture going for an new XBR or football will probably look better with 120 or 240Hz. But I really can't tell the difference. And this slight improvement, in my opinion, does not justify the significantly higher price of these upgrades.
Do yourself a favor and go for this model. I mean, today's top of the line models will also look ancient in a couple of years!
Just as advertised May 26, 2009

Very good quality TV. Doesn't have some of the bells and whistles, like pict in pict, but very nice picture. Built in speakers are ok but would look for another way to add sound. Would recommend.
Amazing. March 26, 2009

I purchased this tv online, got a good price for it. Once I got it home it was a cinch to install. The picture and sound is amazing even without the HDMI cable. I would give more than five stars if I could. AMAZING.
Excellent Sony TV July 4, 2009

Purchased the 46" Sony a month ago and have nothing but good things to say about it: easy to set up, sharpest picture I have ever seen, bright enough to work well in a very bright waterfront room. Definitely a buy at $1,250.
