Sony BRAVIA KDL-X3500 Series LCD TV (35", 40", 46", 52", 70")

In short, I think this is a great display and certainly a breakthrough in price/performance. Sony is continually pushing the limit. Anyone who has sufficient HD sources and is looking for a new display should give Sony’s latest lineup a close look

Everything present: Upmarket features complement the high-contrast panel; The 24p cinematic refresh rate and video electronics guarantee smooth transition and pure movie enjoyment; Ideal for sport fans: Even fast paced transitions are faithfully...

Not suitable for the bedroom: The fan has a slight but irritating hum, which after a while will grate the nerves; Playback of DVD material requires a good external player - the Sony loses a lot of detail when processing 567i/p signals

For a solid price, one gets one of the best LCD flat-panel televisions in the 40" class. It is very easy to operate, has an exceptional feature set and pushes the limit of what is possible for a television based on LCD technology in terms of contrast...

Design ; Sound quality ; Ease of use ; HDMI CEC works well

Backlight seems too bright, and gives dark images a blue tint ; Not as many inputs as you might expect on a high-end TV ; Not the most detailed image

Average video processing ; Auto-dimming unless [Game/ Text Mode] is engaged

I'll readily admit that I didn't expect much from the Motionflow 100Hz on Sony KDL40X3500, because all the motion compensation frame interpolation (MCFI) implementations on other flat screen televisions I've seen in the past have invariably thrown up...

The Sony KDL-40X3500 has joined a small but growing band of LCD TV's that have closed the gap when it come to the traditional Plasma strengths of black level performance and smooth fast motion capability. While hardened Plasma...

The Sony KDL-46X3500 is a significant step forward for LCD technology. While hardened Plasma enthusiasts may not be convinced, others who may not previously have considered LCD should think twice.

Better design than anything else seen during a long search. Shiny black surrounds on most other televisions seen looked cheap and reflected all light in the room. This model is far better to look at and is like a good piece of furniture. Picture...

None so far

Does everything you would expect from a high end L.C.D. I have 3 different sources going into my T.V. and they all work fine

If I had to pick on any bad point it would be there are too many options within the menus. In fact I think they just made up some of them to ship out with the T.V
