BEST OF THE BEST by Adries on amazon.com May 5, 2012
Nothing can beat a SONY! Simply said. This is one of the highest quality 46inch 3D HDTV Available. I simply love this HDTV. Picture quality is the best and is superior compared to semi-matte screens and even some of its own glossy competitors. The Picture ...
 
KDL-46HX820 - 4-2-2012 by Chris G. on vanns.com Apr 2, 2012
I have to start off by saying this TV is very easy on the eyes. It looks really good even turned off. I purchased the TV through Vanns friendly customer service. The TV was delivered within a week without any damage to the box. The TV is slim in depth ...
 
Uncompromising performance in a flat panel smart TV. by jjbenning on cnet.com Mar 5, 2012
I'm afraid I have spoiled myself with this purchase - this is my very first flat panel TV. I wanted something high quality, and this TV doesn't disappoint. I easily mounted this TV onto its pedestal by myself, but it's heavy - I recommend that 2 people ...
 
A great set. by dustbunny44 on newegg.com Dec 13, 2011
Stepped through the set-up to choose the "smoothing" option with the best results/least pixelation, and it works great. This replaces a 38" crt -based tv whose power supply died; while I miss that analog display, this one is spectacular in its own way. No regrets.

Buyer beware by Jonathan M. Cowan "jonnyboston" on amazon.com Jul 9, 2012
I purchased this Sony from Amazon in February of 2012. This weekend (July 7th) the set just clicked off while we were watching it, and it would not power back on. It's signalling a "2 flashing red light" error on the bottom of the set. After troubleshooting ...

Just a monotor no output plugs for Audio/Video by W. Bosman "Boss" on amazon.com May 1, 2012

Died within 60 days by J. Rossiter on amazon.com Mar 24, 2012
Stay away from this tv. Within 60 days, the screen had vertical lines and no picture. Phoned Sony and they said they would replace the tv or have it fixed. Customer rep said they had received numerous complaints against this model. Later they phoned ...
 
Not for your camera's pictures ! by Alex on bhphotovideo.com Jan 24, 2012
Hi, That is a great image quality TV (the sound quality could be better). I'm a photographer and the main reason why I bought that TV is to be able to watch my pictures on the 46" HD screen. But the TV won't display any picture file that have been ...

It actually does a pretty good job and for the life of me I couldn't tell you how they pull it off...Something sticking through the box is going to stand a good chance of hitting the screen or the back of the unit though the cardboard box itself has very thick walls...I've got 30 days for something like that to develop (always possible) to make sure I've got a good set...
