Customer Reviews
Not perfect, but for a 1080p 46" for less than $1100, it's almost there.
I bought this a week ago, and have been thrilled with it so far. I have only noticed 3 negatives: (1) the lamp is a bit too noisy (though I have heard this is temporary, and mine is starting to get better); (2) the viewing angle is not great -- but it is not supposed to be great on rear projection; and (3) there is a bit of pixelation (however that is spelled...) on faster, more colorful scenes. If you can live with those once in awhile, the TV is more than worth it given the price
The HD picture is great. I have watched several football and basketball games, and it looks simply amazing. It also looks great for movies, and while the black levels aren't great, they are good. The TV's sound is quite good, too. Am I an expert? No. But I've been watching HDTV for over 3 years on a 30" TV, and this 46" model looks simply amazing.
Awsome!!
WOW!!! i bought this tv 3 weeks ago and have had no problems with it. I game with this tv with my ps3 at 1080p and it is just a speachless picture. I would recomend this tv to any one who is looking for a big full hd tv for this price. No problems at all, even pick up digital channels withought a digital cable box!!
Best television in price range
I have had this television for about 3 months. It used mainly for watching movies but the kids like watching cartoons on it also and even the regular cable doesn't look that bad. I own a Toshiba HD A-30 HD DVD player that is capable of sending a 1080p/24 signal which this tv is capable of displaying. The picture is perfect. I have not needed to tweak any of the settings for colors. The only settings I change are on my HD player depending on if the movie is HD or standard DVD. The viewing angle is fine. Some people freak out cause you can't see the picture if you are sitting at a 179 degree angle from the tv, but who does that? That spec is useless to use to determine how good a tv is if you are not realistically going to be viewing from that angle. All in all it is a great tv for the price. The other Bravia series which are $1000 more for the same size are not worth it in my opinion.
