>> Sound Died After 1 Year
We have purchased Sony TV s for years After 1 year and a month the sound on this TV just suddenly died Went thru all the menu settings to make sure everything was set properly per owners manual and online support with Sony End result is that I need to take TV in for service In my opinion a TV that has a problem this early is probably low quality I will not spend money to get a repair because I do not trust the quality of the TV Instead I will just use the cash I would have spent on repair toward the price of a new TV Once I have a bad experience with a product I no longer buy it No second chances with me
>> will die on you
My family and I have been buying Sony products for years which is why this was the obvious choice when I needed a TV for my bedroom The TV had no problems what so ever for the first year But one day 13 months after I had bought it which is one month after the warranty expired I turned on my TV to find vertical colorful stripes that would slowly appear on the screen I talked to Sony and all they could do was give me a number to a repair shop since my TV was no longer under warranty It s very frustrating that they have no obligation to fix my defective set I understand that most of the reviews here are favorable probably because it hasn t been over a year yet
>> 1080p sold as 720p Your gain I m serious Sony forgot
First of all this TV DOES display 1080p images It may be marketed as a 720p but the manufacturer forgot to block the display setting from telling you what kind of image is showing which ranges from NTSC to 1080p Just press the display button in the remote So having said that THIS TV IS AMAZING FOR THE PRICE Thanks Sony
I like this tv a lot The picture quality is amazing when connected to my playstation 3 It still surprises me after a year of having it since its almost like looking through a window into the games or movies
Games such as Bioshock Dead Space Dirt and movies such as Wall e and the Watchmen look incredible Regular NTSC channels look like crap since the tv enhances the detail so much you have to make some adjustments to tone it down
You go to the sharpness and noise settings and adjust them They won t adjust themselves I put the sharpness to the lowest and noise setting to its highest and NTSC channels look fine
It has 3 preset adjustable picture settings vivid custom and standard
The speakers deliver crisp sound but obviously they don t have a bass punch You will need to connect a separate set of speakers for powerful bass but the tv s are powerful enough for a room and they volume is loud at 30 where I usually have it It goes up to a 100 but I ve never used it once don t need to
It has an optical out connection that you can connect to a theater sound system for crisp digital signal
I don t know what the big deal with the black colors is if they wash out or not They re just black and if you want blacker just adjust the brightness and the backlight settings simple
I did notice that the backlight leaks a little at the higher right corner when the screen is black but is not a huge problem You can adjust it
I do have a problem with not being able to discard all the analog channels and just keep the digital ones You can t discard any channel for that matter and they re all programmed together
The favorist list is pretty bad too You can favorite 10 channels but you can t organize them or delete the ones you already added You just sort of push them off the bottom of the list with a new channel which is pretty time consuming and stupid
It has 2 HDMI inputs and about 3 analog video inputs 1 pc input which I haven t used
This TV doesn t have many features aside from adjusting the colors But again its a Sony and the picture quality is great If people want many secondary features they probable should pay double the price and get the more expensive Sony
I have yet to have a sony product break on me and this tv will probably last several years hopefuly
