Another great Sony product by Stephanie on vanns.com Apr 16, 2012
I have been a loyal Sony customer for many many years, and this product proves again why I keep coming back. Setup was a breeze. The picture is crisp and clean. There are enough connections to hook up any other piece of technology you can imagine. ...
 
Amazing Television by Rubedoggy on amazon.com Feb 20, 2012

Sony by avalentic on walmart.com Jul 2, 2011
Just bought this Sony Bravia to replace the Plasma TV that we had for 4 years. The clarity and color on this Sony is beautiful. The sound is superb. It takes less electricy to operate. It's way better than the Plasma TV that we had, in every respect. ...

This T.V. is JUNK!!! by cyderak on cnet.com Jan 19, 2011

Poor compared to Vizio by MNmomoffour on walmart.com Feb 16, 2011
I was torn between this tv and the 55'' Vizio (as we own a 40'' Vizio). After reading the reviews for this set, I decided to go with it. Im regretting my choice now. The picture is bright/colorful with the correct adjustments (but not as clear as Vizios ...

No more Sony products for me. by Cori Tallman on amazon.com Jan 6, 2012
Ditto to everything MVGriz wrote. My parent's Sony Bravia KDL46V3000 had similar problems. It started losing picture on the right side, then a distorted picture across the screen, and lately a plaid multi-colored pattern covering the entire screen. ...
