This review is from: New Pyle Ptc155lc 15.6 Inch LCD TV-16:9 Remote Control With1366 X 768 ResolutionATSC/NTSCand I like it! I picked this TV up at a local Sam's Club after my old TV gave out after 9 years. This 32 inch fit in the same opening that my old 27-inch fit in in thanks to it's compact size. It did not take long to hook up to the cable, Wii and DVD player. It scanned the channels automatically and was ready to go. 5 stars for ease of setup and use, plus there are so many options for the sound and audio. The picture is SO much better than I had before and I look forward to enjoying what I'm watching on a whole new level.

This review is from: New Pyle Ptc155lc 15.6 Inch LCD TV-16:9 Remote Control With1366 X 768 ResolutionATSC/NTSCI bought this TV in May 2009. In December 2010, it quit. Of course, the warranties had passed, so I turned it over to a local repairman. I knew that repairing it would cost almost as much as buying a new one, but I decided to reuse and employ a local fellow rather than subsidize the Chinese TV industry once again. Yesterday I learned that it is not repairable and he tells me that it appears to be something with the front panel screen. I won't buy another Magnavox.

This review is from: New Pyle Ptc155lc 15.6 Inch LCD TV-16:9 Remote Control With1366 X 768 ResolutionATSC/NTSCI bought this TV over two years ago, and it still runs great. It has good picture quality, the remote is easy to use, and the manual controls are easy to get to. I really like the DVD player that comes with it because I don't have to connect a separate player to watch DVDs.

This review is from: New Pyle Ptc155lc 15.6 Inch LCD TV-16:9 Remote Control With1366 X 768 ResolutionATSC/NTSCI was given this TV as a birthday present. It has a great picture, and the sound was surprisingly good. It was easy to hook up, and the controls and settings are very easy to use. It has 2 HDMI connections for future purchases, but for now I have my Wii, Old DVD player, and VCR hooked to the composite input via a switch box that I got from Radio Shack for $20. All in all I'm very pleased with it, it's a great value.

This review is from: New Pyle Ptc155lc 15.6 Inch LCD TV-16:9 Remote Control With1366 X 768 ResolutionATSC/NTSCLove it, a great buy. Just wish that UPS - the shipper, hadn't left the package in full view on my front porch in the rain when ther were 2 unlocked cars in the driveway AND the cleaning lady was IN THE HOUSE!

This review is from: New Pyle Ptc155lc 15.6 Inch LCD TV-16:9 Remote Control With1366 X 768 ResolutionATSC/NTSCso far no major problems with the t.v. Not familiar with the brand so I have been a little nervous about it.. No secondary sound support yet so I am not sure if there will be any lag on it or not. My daughter loved it. It was a little higher than other deals I have found for a comparable tv; however I am fully aware I paid for the "pink." There is one thing that they could have done to put the appearance over the top. Include a matching pink remote. This t.v is ok for a kids room where they watch from one viewing location I went in her room and sat on the floor and couldn't see most of the picture, and what I could see was distorted. If not On HD channels i notice a slight bleeding of the colors into each other.. I am used to a much higher quality and am not sure if everyone would notice or not. Its not so much that it is severly distracting. The color and picture are ok as long as you sit on her bed. If this were not a decor choice where you needed the pink, I would recommend going with either the larger tv you can get for the same price or this size in black but in a little higher quality. I'm not dissapointed, again I knew what I was paying for,just know that ahead of time. Oh the sender sent it quicklyand well packed. (Androma Camera)

This review is from: New Pyle Ptc155lc 15.6 Inch LCD TV-16:9 Remote Control With1366 X 768 ResolutionATSC/NTSCI LOVE this t.v. It is huge, works wonderfully, and was so inexpensive. I am going to order a second one next week for my upstairs! I hope they do not sell out of them by thurs. or I will be sad. This is the best t.v I have ever bought and I have had a few new ones!!

This review is from: New Pyle Ptc155lc 15.6 Inch LCD TV-16:9 Remote Control With1366 X 768 ResolutionATSC/NTSCOnly issue we had was the wires. For some reason 2 wires are loose and when they aren't completely connected there is no volume. It took a little time to figure that out, which was very annoying but now everything's good.

This review is from: New Pyle Ptc155lc 15.6 Inch LCD TV-16:9 Remote Control With1366 X 768 ResolutionATSC/NTSCI've had the unit for about 1.5 months now. Before I purchased the unit, I read numerous reviews about others hearing a "Buzzing" noise. In life, I work as a Detective/Investigator, so, I dove in deep on what to buy. I shopped everywhere from Sears Electronics, Best Buy, Local Television Electronics shops. I finally purchased the unit about 3 weeks later from ABC Warehouse (They gave the best price). Plus, I personally didn't want to shell out 1800 bucks for my TV and have to risk damage during delivery. Pay for a unit you have to wait for and then risk it arriving broken?! Not for me. :) Every place I shopped, I could hear "NO BUZZING". I inquired about the buzz with the folks at Samsung as well as a local Repair shop. I was t...

Samsung LN19A330 19-Inch 720p LCD HDTV, Black

Visit Store Now !!

For anyone looking for a great value on a 720p HDTV, Samsung'sentry-level 19-

22-inch Series 3 LCD HDTVs are an excellent way to fit high-defiintion clarity into any room of your home

Crisp, clear 720p resolution offers outstanding HD image quality

An HDMI input provides hassle-free connection to your DVD player, Blu-ray player, or other devices

Samsung combines HD fun and functionality in an attractive design



This review is from: Samsung LN19A330 19-Inch 720p LCD HDTV, BlackSony 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: Samsung LN19A330 19-Inch 720p LCD HDTV, BlackWe 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: Samsung LN19A330 19-Inch 720p LCD HDTV, BlackThis 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 r...

LG Infinia 55LV5500 55-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV with Smart TV

This review is from: LG Infinia 55LV5500 55-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV with Smart TVGreat picture with vivid colors, easy to use remote, menu options are easy to follow. We were not going to upgrade to an HDTV until we watched a couple of programs on a friends Samsung 46-inch LCD TV. No comparison to our old regular TV, the detail and color are amazing.

This review is from: LG Infinia 55LV5500 55-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV with Smart TVI bought this on a whim at a local big-box store after seeing true blacks beat the competing LG 47" model. Everything about the TV is incredible, especially compared to the 32" Toshiba LCD it replaced. The display settings are all adjustable, for example, "Auto Motion Plus" with 1-10 settings for both blur and judder reduction.



It has a USB input on the recessed side and can play Divx AVI files, XVID, and a few video files types. If you're playing a movie file and stop it (accident or otherwise), the 'D button' on the remote will return you to the same spot. The player also has fast forward and rewind. Only minor complaints are the back-lit remote glows orange (cheap) and doesn't even light all of the buttons.



The big problem I have is light leakage in the bottom two corners. On a black screen, you can see this as a flashlight effect pointing at 45 degrees to the middle. I can adjust the settings and come close to fix it, but on a dark movie like "The Descent" - it's still there. This is totally not acceptable, as I bought the TV primarily to watch movies. I'll probably return it in the next few days. Maybe for the same, or the LG 47" model. I'd read this was a big problem with low-end edge-lit LED models so this is a bit disappointing.

This review is from: LG Infinia 55LV5500 55-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV with Smart TVI bought this a few weeks ago and it is absolutely amazing!! Its actually a little disturbing how realistic the picture quality is. I have no complaints about this TV. You can't beat the price for an LCD TV. The auto motion technology makes everything so life like. And even if you have just a basic DVD player this TV makes the DVD's look great!!

This review is from: LG Infinia 55LV5500 55-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV with Smart TVThis review is a little long winded. Skip to the bottom for just the pros and cons. Or, keep reading to waste 10 minutes of your life.



Over the last 5 years, I have been using a 58" Panasonic Plasma TV. Not a bad TV, but not the greatest either. It was only 1080i, it got hot pretty fast (which made the room hot and the air condition kick on too often), and the dimensions were weird (I looked at entertainment centers that should fit a 60" TV, but the TV still wouldn't fit.). I felt an upgrade was in order.



I'll have to admit, shopping for a TV was pretty fun. A lot of work though. The research was overwhelming at times. Websites upon websites, magazines, books, different people's inputs, salesmen trying to sell you different things depending on which store you went to, etc. I narrowed it down to one of many Sony HDTVs or a Samsung C or D series. After narrowing it down to those 2 brands, it was a little easier. I went to about 4 different Fry's Electronics and 7 different Best Buys to check it out in different situations. After that, it came down to the UN55D8000 (boy, did I memorize those numbers). To make the decision easier, I was looking on Amazon, and to my amazement, they had it for $500 less that everyone else, plus free shipping. Score!



With the free shipping, it usually takes a little longer. I would say, from the time the order was placed, until it got to my front door, it took about 1.5 weeks. It came delivered from Home Direct, USA and had no issues with delivery. They were going to set up the TV, but I told them not to, since my entertainment center hadn't come in yet. I opened up the box, put the TV on a soft cloth (our bed's comforter) and installed the stand. Eight screws, piece of cake. I connected the Directv receiver and a PS3. There are a few settings you will set in the beginning when the TV turns on. Takes about 2 minutes, literally. After that, the fun begins! Going from 1080i to 1080p is a huge difference! I had a recording of Chuck on the DVR and it almost looked live. I also watched some regular satellite programming and even the non-HD channels looked amazing.



After wiping the drool off the floor, I wanted to check out the 3D part of the TV. I popped in the free copy of Shrek the 3rd in the PS3, put on the glasses and waited to be amazed. Aside from the amazing colors, it looked exactly like 2D! WTH?! Then, I remember reading somewhere that the PS3 does indeed play 3D movies, BUT with an upgrade. I waited about 30 minutes for the upgrade to finish. After that, loaded up the dvd again, and there was the movie with that funky 3D image. Hey wait, I have 3D glasses on, how come I see that. Oh, oops. Batteries need to be installed in the glasses. Finally! The 3D image was awesome! Seriously, watching TV in 3D is amazing. I can't wait `til there's more media in 3D. As it stands right now, the only real movies in 3D are either documentaries or cartoons, with the exception of a few regular movies (i.e. Resident Evil, Step Up 3, etc.)



I just set it up last night, so I can't give you a whole lot more information. But, even if I did have more time, I don't think I can give you the detailed specs that you might be looking for. I'm not an expert on home theater. Here's an overview of pros and cons:



PROS:

* The lack of a bigger bezel really does make a difference. Not only aesthetically, but in terms of functionality, too (better 3D viewing. It looks like you're looking thru a window.).

* Images are spectacular. Whether it be regular programming, HDTV programming, or Blu-Ray.

* Price on Amazon was very good!

* Delivery was pain-free.

* A lot of settings options, so you can set up the TV to your preference and the viewing scenario (i.e. movie, s...

This review is from: iSymphony LC24IF56PR 24-inch 1080p LCD TV - PurpleAOC L22H998 22-Inch 1080p LCD HDTVI've had this set for a week & bought it to replace a 3 yr old Westinghouse 19" LCD set that went up. I use it in the bedroom & have gotten used to the rectangular shape & the 5 second screensaver when the set is first turned on. There is a toggle switch on the back that can be switched off so you don't have to live w/the tiny, amber-colored connection glow. The picture is nice for a 1080 of this size-It has full, 4:3 & movie scale settings that you can set while you watch instead of moving thru a menu. You can also zoom in while watching wide-screen DVDs. Depending on the channel you're watching, the HD can distort on the movie scale setting. There is a Stereo setting for audio however it sounds a bit tinny & not full sound-even w/the surround sound setting turned off.

The manual is printed in English, Spanish & French & The English is written well. It has excellent hook-up illustrations & full explanations of remote receiver functions.

The remote is easy to use & has a Electronic Program Guide, list & favorite channel functions along with a sleep & closed caption function. Menu functions allow you to set picture/audio quality, time & channel locks. The remote is not infra-red so it is useless to me as I use a HDMI hook-up to the cable box. I can/t pair the tv to my cable remote to control the volume or turn the tv off/on w/o the tv remote. The manual does state that the EPG & list functions are only accessible thru the DTV setting which is disappointing as I cannot access the closed caption setting either.

I've decided to return this set as I don't want to use 2 remotes & am researching other brands.

This review is from: iSymphony LC24IF56PR 24-inch 1080p LCD TV - PurpleBought this to wall mount on the wall of my 15 x 12 home gym. Got this, the swivel wall mount, and the materials to build a wall-mounted shelf below it all for under 250. Most of these smaller LCD TVs are made by similar companies. This one is actually made by either Samsung or LG. It changes between models and build date. Both quality manufacturers though. Otherwise, easy to use, light, very good picture quality, and all for a great price. The only small downfall is the sound, but I wasn't expecting much. Just buy a cheap computer speaker system to hook it up to through the headphone jack in back of the unit. So far so good...

This review is from: iSymphony LC24IF56PR 24-inch 1080p LCD TV - PurplePros:

I love how this TV has so many inputs! I have my Nintendo Entertainment System connected through the coax input (and my VCR over the NES coax input), my Super Nintendo through composite (RCA) input, my Nintendo 64 through S-Video input, and my Nintendo Wii through component input. I also have a GameCube but the Wii plays those games too and there's no more input available (lol). I also use this TV as my 2nd display for my computer. It looks great through VGA (sadly, no DVI input in this TV). By the way, all my game machines are, of course, 240i (I think that's the resolution on the NES) to 480i and 480p, and they still look great on this 1080p television.



Cons:

My unit came with one highly burnt pixel (very noticeable over dark images), along with about 3 other burnt pixels around it that are hardly noticeable. But I can live with that. The sound is not so bad -- considering that computer monitors have worst sound quality and are lower in volume.



Other:

DO NOT buy this TV if you're planning on hooking up your PC through HDMI. The quality is so awful. However, I noticed that it has to do with how computers handle digital connections to TVs, so it's not the TV to blame for the awful quality. If you have an XBox 360 or PS3, I'm sure the HDMI quality will look beautiful. I've read online that ATI graphics cards have a fix to properly display HDMI from computer to TV, but I can't guarantee that since I have an Nvidia card and I've tried so many ways to fix the problem but never could succeed.

This review is from: iSymphony LC24IF56PR 24-inch 1080p LCD TV - PurpleI got this TV after returning an iSymphony LED32IF50 which had terrible color fidelity. This TV is better in many, many ways.



Setup: I'm running HDMI 1080P from a Zotac Zbox-Ad02-plus-U running Ubuntu Natty and Boxee to play content over gigE from a local media server. I've only connected this TV with HDMI, and I stuck an antenna on the DTV to make sure it worked. NOTA BENE: I'm not using the sound in the TV - I have the Zbox's TOSLINK digital sound output connected to a 5.1 receiver, so I am _not_ reviewing the audio / speakers - only the video / picture features.



Pros:

- Color fidelity and resolution is great, color bars and test patterns show the right hues and brightnesses.

- There are enough options for overscan / zoom / wide stretch etc. to make source material correctly fill the screen.

- The ergonomics of the connectors and stand are well thought out. I had no issues at all.

- I like having the ambient lighting sensor so that I don't find mys...

This review is from: Sony KDL-46BX420 - 46\" BRAVIA LCD TV + Sony BDP-S380 - 3D Blu-ray disc playerI made the mistake of buying both a Magnavox 27" stereo TV and separate DVD Recorder in 2005. The DVD Recorder broke within the 1st 2 months. I was okay on that as I'd purchased an extended warranty. I little voice told me that I should return the TV too as this didn't bode well for this brand. (I had never bought Magnavox before, but I figured that the technology's been around so long what can happen). It wasn't much longer until the TV would behave strangely when I turned it on after it had been off a while. There would be a series of clicks, the audio would cut in & out before it would go silent. I called Magnavox with this problem at least twice within the first year. they acted like it was just a little software quirk, the even called the technique "resetting" the system. they led me on with this story until the warranty expired. Now, I'm told that I have to take it to an "authorized" service provider for repairs...at my expense of course. When the problem recurred this weekend, I did an internet search to see if anyone knew anything about this problem. I learned from an 'ask the experts' web site that this was a KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT, one person wrote in about it being a problem with the capacitor. when I called Magnavox about this I was told "I'm so sorry..." a variety of phrases meaning tough luck your warranty's out.



One thing I've learned the hard way: when all of the customer support is in the Phillipines, no matter when you call, and there is neither a phone number nor an email address for corporate offices/customer service, you can expect poor service.

This review is from: Sony KDL-46BX420 - 46\" BRAVIA LCD TV + Sony BDP-S380 - 3D Blu-ray disc playerIf you subscribe to Consumer Reports--as I do (5 year subscription)--see my review on this magazine--note that the Panasonic plasmas are rated not just a little, but much higher than any other brand name within the comparable price range. Panasonic has plasma down. You must pay thousands more to get a better picture. This is the bottom line at this time. Perhaps things may change in time, but not quite yet. I am not affiliated with Panasonic and am merely summarizing my extensive and thorough research into plasma and lcd televisions.



Now, as to the question of lcd versus plasma, it is also a given at this time that plasma offers a superior picture which must be the primary concern of a videophile. Enough said on this account. If television picture is less important to you than ... whatever (?) --power consumption perhaps?, then you may consider lcd. I considered lcd tv's long and hard, and really wanted to believe in lcd technology, but in the end concluded the larger screen lcd tv's are drastically overpriced while offering poor performance. Perhaps technology will change this scenario one day, but I doubt it.



Now, if you accept my position that Panasonic plasma is the way to go for high def, the next question is, which Panasonic plasma to choose?



Mainly it depends on how much you wish to spend. The more money, the higher definition and the bigger screen you can afford. I found that the best price/performance ratio was to be had with this humble EDTV model. I do not wish to sign up for HDTV at this time due to the higher cable costs, so my motive in buying a higher def TV is mainly for watching DVD movies in their native resolution. I can personally attest that this EDTV is excellent (and is rated excellent by Consumer Reports) for DVD movies of all stripes.



Prior to purchasing, I researched the th-42pwd8uk so much online that I knew its name by heart. Daily I entered this name in Google to read reviews, and observed that it was widely acclaimed for an excellent picture at a reasonable price. At its current price, there is only one serious competitor to the th-42pwduk, and it is the retail version of the Panasonic 42", which has a silver case rather than a black one. The other brand names, Sony, Samsung, Phillips et al, have not at this time received comparable ratings for those units in the same price range (below $3000). A consensus has emerged placing the crown of achievement upon Panasonic's head.



This is the professional version of the 42" Panasonic plasma EDTV; not to be confused with the higher-resolution, and correspondingly higher price HDTV. Also, not to be confused with the ugly silver version of the 42" EDTV being sold at the retail chains. Panasonic has a wide array of models and it gets quickly confusing sorting them all out. I studied them all and settled on this one being the best for my purpose (combined PC / TV use).



The most important difference to keep in mind is that, unlike the retail version, the th-42pwd8uk boasts a VGA connection and is readily connected to any PC, a point many reviewers have sadly overlooked, bedazzled as they are by its amazing TV picture. It also has what many consider to be a more attractive appearance with its neutral black case that does not detract from the decor of a sophisticated home. The price is slightly lower than the silver version, though if you buy the Panasonic stand (TY-ST08K) you pay an extra $200 (including shipping). With the stand, the prices become about the same.



The advantages of the silver-colored retail version of the 42" Panasonic plasma EDTV are that it can be obtained...

This review is from: iSymphony LC24IF56GM 23.6-Inch 1080p LCD TV - Gun Metal GraySony 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: iSymphony LC24IF56GM 23.6-Inch 1080p LCD TV - Gun Metal GrayWe 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: VIZIO M260VA 26-Inch Class RazorLED 720p LCD HDTV, BlackThis 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: VIZIO M260VA 26-Inch Class RazorLED 720p LCD HDTV, BlackI 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.

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...
