This review is from: Samsung SSG-P3100M/ZA Starter Kit and Samsung PN59D7000 59\" Plasma HDTV BundleWas a nice tv when it was new, however two years after first use, the flat panel screen started showing some vertical lines going down the right side of he screen. Sony indicated it was out of warranty, and that a new screen would be $2500.00 plus install. We put some black tape over the lines, but new ones kept appearing, then when we decided to replace it, no screens were available. Not bad for a $ 4500.00 TV. Next time around an LCD tv from somewhere else.

This review is from: Samsung SSG-P3100M/ZA Starter Kit and Samsung PN59D7000 59\" Plasma HDTV BundleThis unit was purchased new and used infrequently. Very unhappy as it has now developed a 1.5-2 inch vertical black line running the width of the screen.



I will begin the process of repairing the unit. But it is out of warranty, and if you look on the web, you will see that other owners have had this same problem-and it costs thousands for repair.



I would strongly discourage others from purchasing a Sony TV.

This review is from: Samsung SSG-P3100M/ZA Starter Kit and Samsung PN59D7000 59\" Plasma HDTV BundleI have had the Magnavox 42MF437B 42" LCD HDTV for about 4 months now. I couldn't be happier with the purchase. First of all, we use this TV in our Family room with a DIRECTV HD DVR. I have it set to use the 1080i display from the HD DVR (1080p not available). The picture is very crisp and bright on HD channels that are available. Even using 1080i, fast motion does not seem to have "trails" as I would have expected. I've experimented with 720p vs. 1080i and, to my untrained eye, the higher definition setting even in interlaced is better.



Let me go backward for a minute to when I received the TV. The box itself is pretty ingenious. If you bother to read the directions (which, for once, I actually did), the box is quite helpful in setting up the TV. It allows you to mount the stand and plug in the lower speaker in a safe and secure manner prior to standing it up.



One of the reasons out side of the features this TV appealed to me was the fact that is is 40.9" wide. We have a TV cabinet that I really did not want to replace that could only accommodate a 41" wide set. I had been looking for something that would fit this range so that my +$1,000 TV wouldn't cost me +$2,000 in furniture. Once I assembled the TV it slide in perfectly with virtually no gap on the side of the cabinet. It sort of has a built in look now. The menus for setting up the TV are fairly intuitive and easy to configure.



In the beginning, I was using Dish Network standard service and pulling HDTV over the air with an RCA antenna. This was serviceable but the signal from the OTA side was too week to have reliable service. The TV did just find with the OTA signal when environmental conditions were just right (read, after the sun went down). I am much happier with the DIRECTV HD service now.



All in all, this is a fantastic TV for my needs and would highly recommend it to anyone considering a 42" 1080p TV.

This review is from: Samsung SSG-P3100M/ZA Starter Kit and Samsung PN59D7000 59\" Plasma HDTV BundleI have this TV and I am very happy with it. It has a very nice, bright, crisp picture. It has TRUE 1080 - be careful when looking at sets. 1366 X 728 pixels is 720P HD. 1920 x 1080 is full 1080i/p HD. Often times sellers give the pixels and then say the TV takes 1080i input - this does not mean it can display all those pixels though! Check the pixels if you want 1080, it should have 1920 x 1080 pixels. It has lots of inputs including 2 HDMI (3 would be nicer but many TVs just come with 1).



Now, this is not the most full-featured model and you may be able to find more features for your money. It does not have picture-in-picture (bummer). The menus are navigable, but sparse and somewhat awkward (but not too bad). The automatic format detection is a bit buggy - it may try to automatically change the aspect ratio during the middle of shows and movies and that can be annoying. You just need to manually set the TV to Widescreen in this case.



Overall, I am very happy with the set.

This review is from: Samsung SSG-P3100M/ZA Starter Kit and Samsung PN59D7000 59\" Plasma HDTV BundleI enjoyed this LCD, even though several sources not to trust Magnavox/Philips electronics. The Magnavox has really cheap speakers, a non-universal remote, problems with bright reds, but it was still a decent LCD for the price and had a max res of 1080P. However, after 2.5 months the Magnavox developed a bad column of pixels, which ruined the display.

This review is from: Samsung SSG-P3100M/ZA Starter Kit and Samsung PN59D7000 59\" Plasma HDTV BundleThis TV is a bit of a coup for Zenith: it's the price leader for direct-view High Definition televisions with built-in HDTV tuners. Without a built-in tuner, you're going to have to spring for an external one to plug into a "HDTV Monitor", and these tuners ain't cheap. Buying the pieces separately puts you over Zenith's price point. There's some real flexibility in the unit as well: it comes with two F-connector coaxial inputs (for instance, cable TV and a DTV antenna) that can tune independently, three composite/S-Video video inputs, and a co...

This review is from: Sceptre X320BV-HD 32\" 720p LCD TV - BlackI just bought this so I only have a few hours on it. The good. Exceptional piture. Dark blacks of course. But I really bought this for the 3D. I had narrowed my choices down to the samsung pn59D8000 and the Panasonic p55VT30. The 3D on the samsung looked a little artificial to me, that is like the cardboard cut out books that you open and they have one flat image after another. The Panasonic however has a real nice graduation of 3D from front to back. I really liked the new Samsung glasses, the bluetooth connection, light weight, large lenses, and even balance. I still don't like the feel of the Panasonic glasses but they say they are comming out with better ones mid summer. I don't like that Panasonic is still using infared since anything in the path of the beam cuts the 3D. The feature that really wow's me is the 2D to 3D conversion. Oh My God! the Panasonic is soooo much better than the Samsung in this respect. I'd swear the 2D movies I've been watching with this feature are 3D. It has minimum, medium, and maximum settings for this. I like the medium setting which gives a lot of 3D without distorting the 3D effect like the maximum setting does. My local dealer did a good job of matching internet prices and free delivery and set up. The spider stand on the D8000 was really flimsy in real life. So I like the Panasonics heavier but more solid pedestal better. I wanted to buy the VT25 from last year but was still disappointed in the amount of light loss when putting on the 3D glasses. This year the amount of light loss is much much less than last year, even tolerable. Sound is actually pretty good but I still run it through my Denon 7.1 surround system. Another thing that steered me away from the Samsung were all the reports of poor customer service on displays that went out. I wish Panasonic would slim the bezel down more, and go to a wireless glasses recharger.

I have both the Samsung BD-C6900 Blue-ray player and the Panasonic BDT350. Love the Samsung, hate the Panasonic. The Panasonic is not as user friendly, not as pretty, takes forever to load, and makes alot of clicking/humming/buzzing noises when playing a disk. It didn't start out that way but it's been less than a year and already it sounds like a five year old player. The quality of picture produced by each player is basically a wash for me. I really can't tell any difference. I'll try to update this as I get more experience with the TV. Oh by the way - I'm not a football fan but watching it in 3D is like being on the field, incredible. And I was just told buy my sales person that there has been a price drop on the current set of 3d glasses. They are now available for $49.99



UPDATE: 07/12/11 I've bought two additional 55" ST30's so I can put them side by side as part of an "eyefinity" setup on my computer. The ST30's are suprisingly pretty good but I had to go through one return due to one looking grainy (a known not uncommon issue with panasonics in general and the ST30's specifically). Now if they can only get rid of the bezel.



UPDATE: Well first day and already its gone bad. I got the vertical black bar that covers about an eighth of the screen about 3/4 of the way on the right side. In researching similar problems it might indicate the Plasma Display Panel (PDP) was defective. It appears I have a vertical block that is bad. Retailer is getting me another one tomorrow.



UPDATE: Ok new TV working well. On the standard picture setting its really too dark. So I increased the brightness by changing to game or cinema. I've been watching 2d movies with the 2d to 3d conversion with good results. I just watched my first real 3D movie "Tangled". I have seen the 2D version of this movie about 5 times but watching it in 3D is like seeing it for the first time. WOW! I'll never be able to watch it in 2D again. The details are amazing. You notice every blade of grass, every leaf on the trees, every strand of hair on people, all sorts of things I've never noticed before like birds flying in the fore and background, butterfies and pollen, textures on just about everything! The only negative I see in 3D is when somthing moves fast like a swinging arm. I don't know if its motion blur or just me not being able to focus fast enough. The picture is brighter and clearer with better 3D than I've seen in the theaters. I have a 2009 Samsung 63" plasma which I still like the 2D bright, clear, sharp picture of over this Panasonic. But for 3D I'm quite satisfied. I also use this set as my main computer monitor. It's fun to watch online movie content with the 2D to 3D conversion active.



UPDATE: The way I see it the ST30, GT30, and VT30 are basically good, better, best. The best way for me to describe the picture quality difference is similar to watching a 60hz refresh rate and then watching an 80hz refresh rate. The picture just seems clearer, sharper, and more stable. Now the thing that really suprised me was watching 3D on the ST30's. It was as good as the VT30. In fact I had a really hard time trying to tell the difference. So is it worth the difference in price? Hmmmm hard question to answer. As you can see even though I have the money for three VT30's, I opted for one VT30 plus two ST30's and I'm happy with the results. I tried the apps and they are great but all the ones I like wanted money. I guess I'm not ready to pay for them. As far as the 55" being big enough to watch 3D, yes, in fact for movies I have to back up a little from my usual four foot distance to a six foot distance to get the whole thing in my fileld of view. I know people out there probably think its insane to sit so close, but I really like to immerse myself in my...

This review is from: Sony KLV40S550AE 40\" PAL Multisystem 1080p HDTVPROS: Kinda surprised that I'm the first person to write a review for this great 19" HDTV from Samsung. I guess 19" (actually, 18.5") monitors are not all that popular as they're generally too small for anything but a smallish space. In my case, I use it in my office adjacent to a pair of Samsung 2233 21.5" monitors that my wife and I use.



The 933HD+ is a great little HDTV/Monitor that's just perfect for the space I have. The colors are vibrant (I'm using an HDMI connection from my Comcast cable box) and the refresh rate is fine for football games and other high-motion broadcasts. The speakers are another matter (see below) but I bought this monitor for its picture, not for its sound. I've also used the analog D-SUB connector to hook this up to my computer as a second monitor (with a digital DVI connection going to the Samsung 2233SW). Works great for Netflix streams! The screw-in monitor stand was trivially easy to attach. Overall, a great small HDTV at a great price.



CONS: The biggest issue with this monitor is the underwhelming speakers. There just isn't much low end from the stock, tinny speakers. I knew this in advance and my solution is to just use a an extra set of Boston Acoustics computer speakers (along with a sub-woffer) using the headphone out 3.5mm jack on the back of the TV. Now it sounds great! The remote works, but it is hardly an icon of sleek design. Another gripe has to do with the Ultra-Mega shiney black finish. The finish is so polished that it reflects everything. Right now, I can see the reflection from all the Christmas lights in my house, and frankly I find this somewhat annoying. A matte-black finish would have been MUCH, MUCH better. Also, this things shows off fingerprints and dust like there's no tomorrow.Also noticed that depending on the viewing angle, the color vibrance and brightness can vary pretty significantly. This is the case with all LCD monitors, not just this one. But no big deal-breakers here.



OVERALL: For the price, I don't think there's a better value out there. The cons I noted have *nothing* to do with the performance of the monitor, either. Rather, they are cosmetic issues that are totally ignorable. I wish there were some after-market height-adjustable stands that attached to the base on these monitors. I find them to be just a little too low to the table for my tastes. Maybe Samsung will offer something like this as as accessory down the road (assuming they standardize on this screw-on based for all monitors/HDTV's in this class). The buttons on the side of the monitor are hard to use, but thankfully you don't need to interact with them very much -- set 'em once, then forget about 'em.

This review is from: Sony KLV40S550AE 40\" PAL Multisystem 1080p HDTVI am using this monitor AS AN HDTV!



Works perfectly. The picture is great, connectability is great, all around perfect.



I mounted this to a regular old wall mount, and the picture is amazing. Sound is OK.

This review is from: Sony KLV40S550AE 40\" PAL Multisystem 1080p HDTVi am more than pleased with this piece of gear, but my impression may be influenced by the fact that its my first hdtv and its football season.



i use practically all the connections in the back and it makes it a very flexible device. i wont prattle on but just suffice to say that PIP (picture in picture) would really improve the functionality.



with computer and multiple television inputs the device could simultaneous serve multiple functions but for whatever reason the PIP feature was not included. it couldn't be cost as PIP is more a software function (i could be wrong), so all i can think is they skimped on memory/cpu.



there is a usb port and documentation alludes to a firmware update capability, but i'm dreaming now.



anyway the only other thing i can say is amazon didn't charge me tax or the recycling fee (that saved me [...]).

This review is from: Sony KLV40S550AE 40\" PAL Multisystem 1080p HDTVIt cost me around CAN$950 at BestBuy. After one month I am still very happy with my decision. Before the purchase, I spent long time in the store comparing this with Sharp, Sony, Toshiba, and Westinghouse 32"s. The conclusion is that Philips delivers the most natural picture (thank for the LG panel). Sony is quite good in every aspect but pricy. Toshiba is generally okay except the picture looked really 2-D (fake), IMHO. 1080p from Sharp is nice, but I'm afraid it's an overkill for the 32" level (perhaps even for a 37"). Westinghouse offers a good price/performance ratio, but I would feel like buying extra protection after knowing the warranty service issues from the company.



When spending money on a TV, we look at two things - performance and warranty. As for performance, an LCD TV mainly depends on the panel and the image processor. Those "resolution", "response time", "contrast ratio", "viewing angle" etc are decided by the panel itself. There are other inborn feature by a panel but let's not get too technical. Nowadays technology on making 32" panels has become mature, so in most cases what makes one outstanding is the image processor. This is something y...

Pixel Precise HD

Energy Star 4.0



This review is from: Philips 46PFL5705D/F7 46-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV with NetTV, BlackWith the coaxial hookup (standard cable) or composite video hookup the picture quality is very, very poor. Blurry and shimmery. I tried it with a number of different input sources and the results were unacceptable.



However, with the s-video hookup, the picture is solid.



Might be an OK TV if you only need s-video.

This review is from: Philips 46PFL5705D/F7 46-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV with NetTV, BlackThe tv came with one inactive pixle and had to me returned. The exchanged tv if fime now. The speakers in the tv are low quality but the pictue is good.

This review is from: Philips 46PFL5705D/F7 46-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV with NetTV, BlackI bought this and straight out of the box it had 2 burnt pixels, I tried to return it to the store but they was sold out. I call Polaroid Corp CS and it takes me to Canada TWW Warranty for Polaroid, WOW! So, they told me that the HDTV that I bought would have to have like 5-6 pixels burnt out in a 1" inch square before they would issue a return or exchange! I am so totally surprised that Polaroid as big named as it is would let this kinda trash help them keep customers happy! I finally after googling for about 30 mins came up on the American CS for Polaroid, you have to talk to the 1 for films or you will not get an American CS and all others will not let you return or exchange it! I will not EVER buy another Polaroid PRODUCT of any kind after this, it still hasnt been fixed and I have called them 6 or more times and each time they tell me that they will call me back within 24 hours and NEVER HAVE HEARD anything. I guess they are waiting on the warrenty to run out on it. Never again! And as a note SamSung (aka Sanyo) has bad CS same as Polaroid.

This review is from: Philips 46PFL5705D/F7 46-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV with NetTV, BlackThis is a great TV. I purchased this television from Best Buy, and was happy with it until I noticed the auto-dimming feature. After reading about it online, I've noticed tons of people having the same issue. Fortunately it can be fixed (relatively) easily. All you need is a compatible flash drive (you can check the Sony Support website for a list of compatible flash drives - I used 4 GB Sony Micro Vault), and a PC. From there you simply go to the Sony Support website and download the update/patch for the TV which completely eliminates the auto-dim feature. I got the link by accessing the chat service on the Sony Support site. The PC part is important; If you have an Apple computer, you won't be able to successfully install the update. I implore anyone who has issues with the auto-dim feature to download the update - it gets rid of the problem.



Pros: Great value; contrast ratio; 1080p; 40 inch screen.

Cons: Without the update/patch there is the auto-dim feature; only 60hz

Overall: I loved the TV at first, then hated it when I noticed the auto-dim, now love it again now that I downloaded the update. I would recommend this TV for anyone looking to upgrade to HD.

This review is from: Philips 46PFL5705D/F7 46-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV with NetTV, BlackI bought this TV knowing about the brightness issue and the fix that Sony provides. I installed the software update and I love the quality of the picture I get in TV, DVD, and gaming modes.



Yes, the software update can be downloaded to a compatible USB storage device (flash drive), but if you don't have a compatible flash drive on hand there is no need to go out and buy one for a one time use.



Call Sony at 1-800-222-7669 to request the update be mailed to you free of charge. They will send the update to you on a USB storage device, along with instructions on how to perform the update.



If you have a USB flash drive on hand, but you're not sure if it's a compatible storage device, the following link will provide a list.

I hope this info helps.

Enjoy your Sony Bravia!

This review is from: Philips 46PFL5705D/F7 46-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV with NetTV, BlackI purchased this tv after carefully weighing the pros and cons with what little information I could find. Overall I am not disappointed. Being a relatively newer model reviews were hard to come by and the one review I found was here on Amazon and it was a bad review. It mentioned the Auto contrast feature included on the Bravia models and complained that during some movies it would darken too much and make the flick unwatchable. I have watched quite a few movies at this point and have not noticed it to be a problem except for maybe during opening credits.



I also Game alot on this tv, My 360 and PS3 look amazing through the HDMI and even my Wii looks pretty good(as good as a Wii can look). This is a great tv and the only thing I would change is the Auto Contrast. It has an option to turn it off, but switching it to off doesnt turn it of.. WTG Sony. :D Still a great tv

This review is from: Philips 46PFL5705D/F7 46-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV with NetTV, BlackI received my 60pk950 about a week ago and absolutely love it. This was my first HDTV purchase and I spents months researching different brands and models. I was originally set on buying a Panasonic, but the refusal to own up to the rising blacks and floating blacks steered me away. Why give money to a company that won't admit to issues with their products? I bought an LG BD390 after reading stellar reviews on the blu-ray player and that led me to considering one of their televisions. I joined the AVS forums and spents months reading threads and posts on most brands and models available. My concensus is that the LG owners had the least amount of issues. Samsungs frequently buzz and the Panasonics have black issues. LG seems to be the underdog, so they are really out to impress their customers.



As for the TV, I love the picture and blu-ray discs look fantastic. I i...

Samsung LN40C550 40-Inch 1080p 60 Hz LCD HDTV (Black)



Full HD 1080p resolution

Touch of Color? design

Exceeds ENERGY STAR® standards

ConnectShare? Movie

This review is from: Samsung LN40C550 40-Inch 1080p 60 Hz LCD HDTV (Black)This TV is absolutely stunning. I was actually waiting for the C9000 to come out, but that TV's price is way over the limit. I found out that this TV which is the next step down and actually has the exact same technology as the C9000 minus the touchscreen remote (which can be bought seperately) and the slim profile, not a big deal considering the TV already looks beautiful and is half the price or less then a C9000!



In all honesty, I think this TV has one of the nicest pictures I've ever seen. One example is the pin-point dimming, which has garnered a lot of criticsm and skeptisism. I have seen the production TV model live and I must tell you, I think it's better then local-dimming and I'll tell you why... Unless there is a new panel that is made to fix the local-dimming "halo affect", this is currently the only way to get outradgeous contrast levels without that problem. The pin-point dimming on this TV dramatically lowers the dark spots on the screen in certain area's without a halo affect and actually goes completely pitch black when watching movies with dark screens just like a local-dimming TV. I think this TV actually excels at the dimming part over a local-dimming TV because it creates supurb black levels without any halo affects. That's a huge deal for me. Next is the color accuracy of this panel, I think the whites and colors on this TV are probably better then I've ever seen. Sure Plasma's can sometimes have better color temperatures, but they will not pop out of the screen with ambience like this TV shows. This TV is sharp looking and beautiful and it displays wonderful 3D and High-definition like never before.



Last, but not least... this tv is LOADED with features, easily making it one of the most feature rich TV's there is on the market. It's completely wireless, has 4-hdmi conenctions, has internet applications and streaming capabilities and best yet, it does it well! I have done a lot of research and have compared this TV with it's newest competitors and this one is it. Don't just take my word for it, go see it for yourselves and you'll just see what I am talking about.

This review is from: Samsung LN40C550 40-Inch 1080p 60 Hz LCD HDTV (Black)I just got the TV a couple of weeks a go and decided to post my first review ever on Amazon, as well this is the largest purchase I've made. This is my first LCD purchase in a while, I've had a Pioneer Plasma that I've loved forever, but just moved to Boston and left the Pioneer back home. The picture is extremly clear, almost too clear, sometimes I feel like the TV shows are live action TV, which takes a bit to get used too. The features seem great. I read through some of the comments, I'm pretty sure the C8000 doesn't have WIFI, as it wasn't an option, but I had ethernet right behind the TV so I didn't dig super deep. The Internet options are great, can't wait to try netflix out. The Yahoo gadget bar is cool and the Internet TV seem great, first time I've had these options on a TV.



I watched the masters in 3D, pretty cool, but your eyes get tired pretty quick, active 3D makes your eyes work more than passive 3d IMHO. I'm stuck with crappy comcast in my new building, so no 1080P coming through for other channels. I did the 3D combo and got monsters vs aliens. Wife and I watched a bit of it to check out the 3D. Way better quality than the Masters in 3D, but to be honest when I remember watching HDTV for the first time versus Standard TV, that leap was way bigger than from HDTV to 3DTV, maybe when more content comes out. I was hoping to get Avatar 3D, but those jerks are going to wait a year before releasing it. But atleast Comcast has the 3D Channel, maybe they will do more events in the future.



TV is beautiful, nice and thin. One comment about the C9000 it won't support the pin-point dimming, so the C8000 is Samsungs best picture TV. That touchscreen remote can be purchased, but it won't allow you to watch TV on the remote with the C8000 like the C9000 does.



Setup was simple, haven't really dug deep into the features. Sound is OK, but then again I'm used to my home theatre. Does extremely well with the glare and I haven't mounted it on the wall and I'm using the standard stand, comes in handy to turn it slighty to get the glare from the sun out of the picture.



One more thing the 3D mode has some ghosting, I wonder if that will be fixed over time. I do think it is worse when your eyes get tired though. I don't mind the glasses, but I wouldn't wear them in public ;-)



If you are getting a new TV, go for this one, don't be put off by the 3D as a gimic, all TVs are going to ship with them, I don't think you are paying a premimum for the HD. I still love my Pioneer Plasma, the thing is 6 years old and still has a great picture, but this is way better than the two Sharp LCDs I own, espicially the one I dropped and broke the screen on.

This review is from: Samsung LN40C550 40-Inch 1080p 60 Hz LCD HDTV (Black)













Length:: 5:32 MinsIf you have read any of the other reviews you probably have noticed a general theme - the Samsung C8000 has a picture that is unmatched. I know that sounds like hyperbole, but in this case it really is the truth. prior to purchasing I had spent about 6 months going to box stores and staring at various televisions. In all of that time I decided that the Samsung LED's were in class by themselves. At long last I was ready to make the purchase and I decided to order from Amazon.com in fact the price was attractive enough that I went ahead and ordered the Samsung UN46C8000 46" 1080p 3D LED TV, 1080p Resolution, 3D Technology, 3D HyperReal Picture Engine, Touch of Color Design, Kit Includes 2 Pairs of 3D Glasses, BD-C5900 1080p 3D Blu-ray DVD Player, Dig Pro H...

This review is from: New Coby Electronics 26inch Hdtv Lcd Television With 720p Resolution Liquid-Crystal DisplayPROS: Kinda surprised that I'm the first person to write a review for this great 19" HDTV from Samsung. I guess 19" (actually, 18.5") monitors are not all that popular as they're generally too small for anything but a smallish space. In my case, I use it in my office adjacent to a pair of Samsung 2233 21.5" monitors that my wife and I use.



The 933HD+ is a great little HDTV/Monitor that's just perfect for the space I have. The colors are vibrant (I'm using an HDMI connection from my Comcast cable box) and the refresh rate is fine for football games and other high-motion broadcasts. The speakers are another matter (see below) but I bought this monitor for its picture, not for its sound. I've also used the analog D-SUB connector to hook this up to my computer as a second monitor (with a digital DVI connection going to the Samsung 2233SW). Works great for Netflix streams! The screw-in monitor stand was trivially easy to attach. Overall, a great small HDTV at a great price.



CONS: The biggest issue with this monitor is the underwhelming speakers. There just isn't much low end from the stock, tinny speakers. I knew this in advance and my solution is to just use a an extra set of Boston Acoustics computer speakers (along with a sub-woffer) using the headphone out 3.5mm jack on the back of the TV. Now it sounds great! The remote works, but it is hardly an icon of sleek design. Another gripe has to do with the Ultra-Mega shiney black finish. The finish is so polished that it reflects everything. Right now, I can see the reflection from all the Christmas lights in my house, and frankly I find this somewhat annoying. A matte-black finish would have been MUCH, MUCH better. Also, this things shows off fingerprints and dust like there's no tomorrow.Also noticed that depending on the viewing angle, the color vibrance and brightness can vary pretty significantly. This is the case with all LCD monitors, not just this one. But no big deal-breakers here.



OVERALL: For the price, I don't think there's a better value out there. The cons I noted have *nothing* to do with the performance of the monitor, either. Rather, they are cosmetic issues that are totally ignorable. I wish there were some after-market height-adjustable stands that attached to the base on these monitors. I find them to be just a little too low to the table for my tastes. Maybe Samsung will offer something like this as as accessory down the road (assuming they standardize on this screw-on based for all monitors/HDTV's in this class). The buttons on the side of the monitor are hard to use, but thankfully you don't need to interact with them very much -- set 'em once, then forget about 'em.

This review is from: New Coby Electronics 26inch Hdtv Lcd Television With 720p Resolution Liquid-Crystal DisplayI am using this monitor AS AN HDTV!



Works perfectly. The picture is great, connectability is great, all around perfect.



I mounted this to a regular old wall mount, and the picture is amazing. Sound is OK.

This review is from: New Coby Electronics 26inch Hdtv Lcd Television With 720p Resolution Liquid-Crystal Displayi am more than pleased with this piece of gear, but my impression may be influenced by the fact that its my first hdtv and its football season.



i use practically all the connections in the back and it makes it a very flexible device. i wont prattle on but just suffice to say that PIP (picture in picture) would really improve the functionality.



with computer and multiple television inputs the device could simultaneous serve multiple functions but for whatever reason the PIP feature was not included. it couldn't be cost as PIP is more a software function (i could be wrong), so all i can think is they skimped on memory/cpu.



there is a usb port and documentation alludes to a firmware update capability, but i'm dreaming now.



anyway the only other thing i can say is amazon didn't charge me tax or the recycling fee (that saved me [...]).

This review is from: New Coby Electronics 26inch Hdtv Lcd Television With 720p Resolution Liquid-Crystal DisplayIt cost me around CAN$950 at BestBuy. After one month I am still very happy with my decision. Before the purchase, I spent long time in the store comparing this with Sharp, Sony, Toshiba, and Westinghouse 32"s. The conclusion is that Philips delivers the most natural picture (thank for the LG panel). Sony is quite good in every aspect but pricy. Toshiba is generally okay except the picture looked really 2-D (fake), IMHO. 1080p from Sharp is nice, but I'm afraid it's an overkill for the 32" level (perhaps even for a 37"). Westinghouse offers a good price/performance ratio, but I would feel like buying extra protection after knowing the warranty service issues from the company.



When spending money on a TV, we look at two things - performance and warranty. As for performance, an LCD TV mainly depends on the panel and the image processor. Those "resolution", "response time", "contrast ratio", "viewing angle" etc are decided by the panel itself. There are other inborn feature by a panel but let's not get too technical. Nowadays technology on making 32" panels has become mature, so in most cases what makes one outstanding is the image processor. This is something you need to spend time in a store to feel. Bo...

This review is from: Panasonic Viera TC-50PX34 50\" 720p 600Hz Plasma HDTVSony BRAVIA KDL40EX520 40-Inch 1080p LED HDTV



We almost bought the less-costly Sony 40" KDL-40EX500 Bravia, but didn't because that model has been on the market since 2005. Instead, we bought this recently introduced EX520 which has later technology (e.g., back lighting); in spite of it having no Amazon customer ratings at the time. We looked at TVs in several local stores and no model in this size-range had a better picture than the Sony Bravia. Consumer Reports labels the 40" Bravia's picture (high definition and standard) as "excellent", their highest rating.



Taking advantage of a 30-day free trail of Amazon Prime, the TV arrived in only 2 days. It's well packaged, and I attached the stand to the TV in short order without needing the instructions. Turn it on the first time, and it goes through a question and answer setup procedure; e.g., it asks if it's against a wall or in the middle of a room so it can adjust the sound accordingly. After the setup, it worked perfectly with no adjustments of any kind.



Pros:



- Outstanding picture; stunning even. The entire screen is vivid with life-like skin-tones, can be viewed from a reasonable angle, and action shots are smooth.



- Sound is crisp, clear, and realistic - excellent in my estimation for a TV; speakers are along the top & bottom of the unit's rear, so it's actually louder in back of the set than in front. We have it on a stand in the middle of a large room, 8 to 9 feet from our easy chairs. Having played trumpet in various bands for nearly 50 years, my hearing isn't what it used to be; so decent sound was just as important as picture quality. Our backup plan, if the sound had stunk, was to buy an auxiliary BOSE sound system; but that would only be needed for true high fidelity sound.



- For connection to a wired network, this model can be directly connected to your router and the only thing you'll need to buy is the cable. Sony recommends Cat 7 cabling.



- The included stand is quite nice. The TV can be swivelled 20 degrees right or left.



- More connectivity options than most people will ever use.



Cons:



- For a wireless LAN connection, you'll need to buy an [over-priced] SONY proprietary device called a "USB Wi-Fi Adapter". Search Amazon on: UWA-BR100



- Although this model's 60 hz refresh rate seems fine to us, you might want to look for a 120 hz TV if you watch lots of really fast action.



- The TV cannot be tilted up or down if it's on the table stand. (Curiously, the Bravia made for Mexico can be tilted up to 6 degrees, but that model uses a different stand.)



Other:



- If the TV will be on a table, securely anchor the stand-base TO the table; this is crucial if you have small children. (From 2000-2005, there were 36 TV-tip-over deaths in the U.S. and three thousand injuries to kids under 5). This TV is so light, it could easily be knocked over, or pulled over by a rambunctious youngster. I.e., the stand weighs 6 lbs. and the TV only weighs 25 lbs. Even if will be no kids around, a tip-over could seriously damage the TV, which wouldn't be covered by any warranty.



- Many large LCD TVs on Amazon have some Customer Reviews citing maintenance issues with THEIR unit after the warranty expired. If this is a concern, consider buying a Square Trade 4-year warranty via Amazon (as we did).



Summary:



With its excellent picture, sound, and connectivity features, our Bravia 40" TV is a 5-star product.

This review is from: Panasonic Viera TC-50PX34 50\" 720p 600Hz Plasma HDTVWe were totally pleased with the quality and delivery of the TV, the only reason it didn't get a 5 star rating was because it advertised on Amazon that it was Skype ready but failed to inform you that you could only use the Sony web cam which they haven't put on sale, as at this time, and have no date for it's release. The TV itself gives a great quality picture but, although you can connect to the internet and the menu is great interface wise, the wireless capability is shockingly poor for such a Company. We find the connected WII works great with the TV and the quality is really good with a HDMI cable, the netflix wireless capability of the WII works at least 10 times as well as the in-built wireless of the Sony blu-ray we bought to use wireless with this TV, and from hearsay it is no better using the extra wireless USB you can buy for the TV, which should, in my view, come with it as it is over priced and poor quality, Sony 'needs' to improve the quality of the wireless device when you can pay twice as much and get a game system as well??? What is the logic behind that, they just want to sell more PSP's???

Shame on you Sony!!!!

Other than the two gripes about the wireless connection and the absence of the Skype ready webcam this is a great product, great picture and price.

This review is from: Panasonic Viera TC-50PX34 50\" 720p 600Hz Plasma HDTVThis is the third HDTV that I have purchased in the past two years and is the best of the three. PROS: Very good picture. Though sound is not great, it is better than my two LGs.

It has been used in two rooms and sound is much better in a smaller room. It seems that six feet makes a big difference in sound volume. The price has dropped $200.00 since I purchased in April 2011.CONS: If you are not a TV "expert", the remote setup is tiresome because the best version of the owner's manual has to accessed using the remote.The buttons on the remote are small, up-down keys can be a challenge in a dark room if the input button is pushed and has to reset.
