Superb

 

Overall this tv amazes me. Picture, color depth are superior even on a regular DVD disc being played, too close blue ray disc I should say. Now I'm excited to watch my old DVD collections once again because of this awesome tv.

Light and slim. A space saver for a 60 in. Tv in our small apartment

Easily sways back and forth when lightly pushed on its stand

This has to be one of the best tv's on the market. I was going back and forth between this and the 8000 samsung and when you look at the two pictures side by side, its night and day. Don't get me wrong the samsung had an fabolous picture but the motion...

I returned my LG LX-9500 for this TV. LG was nice but had a bad picture with banding and an LED panel blew out in 1 month. Anyway I went with my first Sony TV and I am very happy. Overall picture is great. The 3-D engine works great and gives 3-D...

Picture, 3-D w/ minimal to zero ghosting, no banding or blooming issues at all

Sound is terrible. Yet a TV of this caliber should not be without a stereo system

This TV is not only good looking with its sleek and slim design but also by far one of the best pictures next to Sony's XBR lineup. Leave it to Sony to make the best TV's. That is the beauty you get with Sony TV's, not only do they give you good...

This TV is gourgeous, off and on. I wasn't really looking for something with all the features this has, but now that I have it, I am so glad I got it. This TV has everything you could want. I hung it on our wall replacing a 37 inch, and had it up and...

Beautiful both off and on. Feature rich. Built in Wifi

3D needs an external transmitter but experts claim it works better than most
