>> Great HD TV
It s my first HD TV and I am really happy with it I have to upgrade my DVD so that I can use HDMI and it transforms regular picture to 1080 format The motion flow is great No motion blur is noticeable I hook up the sound to my Hi fi audio system and you feel like in the movie theater
The volume adjustment is a little bit tricky The adjustment at the side of the unit has to adjust first The volume was small when I use the remote I have to crank up the manual volume adjustment to get higher volume on the remote control
You have to act quick to pick the signal inputs selections otherwise it reset Can Sony give me more time to select the inputs
The specification sheet indicates PIP function I can not find it
The TV channel switching takes a while few seconds Is it typical for digital TV
The picture quality on HD broadcast is super I notice that some of the news broadcaster s faces are like new to me I can see the face hairs and wrinkles
The picture quality of non HD broadcast is poor and I believe the HD TV set is not responsible for that I have a regular 13 TV in the other room I know the differences
>> Great picture so so sound satisfied overall
Pros
Getting a matte screen was the top consideration for me as I live in a room with intense sunlight If you are putting the TVin a bright room it s one of the better options I found at this price point There is excellent color accuracy Greens are actually natural green not neon as they appear on other brands Very good black levels I think the HD content is incredible The Motionflow setting 120hz is great for sports but turn it off for movies and most other content Excellent looking TV design The ultra thin screen is striking The automatic ambient light adjustment is a nice feature The internet content is decent particularly Netflix and Amazon on Demand Be aware that not every movie in the Netflix catalogue is downloadable and also be aware that only some of the content for Netflix and Amazon is in HD this will probably improve with time though You can hook the TV up with an ethernet cable or go wireless with a USB adapter though it costs another 80 to purchase from Sony This was easy to set up The menu is easy to navigate I like the various screen modes for different content There are a thousand ways to customize the picture to your liking Unlike some of the Sony models in recent years the stand does swivel Very energy efficient
Cons
Contrast does diminish a bit when you are off center but no more than other LCD s I have seen It would be nice to have a separate Motionflow button on the remote for ease of access The sound is thin although you can improve it with some tweaks If you are going to use it with a home theater it doesn t matter If you aren t you might find it substandard The Presence Sensor is a bit gimmicky you won t care that you have this 10 minutes after you set it up There is some noticeable judder on certain content but I set the TV to the CineMotion Auto 2 setting in Picture Adjust it seemed to smooth this out a lot I can t discern much benefit from the LED edge lighting other than the fact that it allows for the thin design
The TV isn t perfect but overall I m pleased with my purchase
>> Great LED TV
I ve had this TV for a couple of days and it exceeded all my expectations I have been in the market for a new TV since November of 2009 I have done a ton of research and I believe that for the money this is one of the best TVs in the market I looked at the Samsung LEDs and while they are good TVs I find the glossy screens are distracting with all the reflections it creates This can definitely be troublesome if your house has big windows next to the TV like mine does
At the end the Sony KDL 46EX700 was the perfect TV Some of the great features include ambient light sensor the backlight changes depending on the amount of light source in the room internet capabilities Sony has a ton of widgets exceeds energy star ratings presence sensor turns TV off when it does not sense a person in the room motion flow control and finally a attractive modern clean design
As for picture quality the TV shines on all level I have U Verse cable and the picture looks great in HD and SD The picture quality on DVD is great as well as the Netflix streaming Blu ray quality is out of this world
As for sound quality I am uncertain as my TV is connected to a home theater system I really have nothing bad to say about this TV The only knock that I have on this TV if any is that the remote looks cheap It does work however so I really can t complain Plus I plan on replacing it with a universal remote
In the end If you are in the market for a new LED TV I highly recommend this TV
