3 HDMIs rocks, 24p rocks, 1080p rocks. The ability to tweak lots of settings rocks. Basically this is a fantastic TV.
-
The menus are the same style Sony have been using for some years, especially the Freeview EPG. The EPG is a real pain to use because it doesn't show full titles for programs with long names (or short timeslots)

Great looks, and excellent HD performance with enough connection options to please anyone. Best 1080p set i could find in this price range. PS3 and Blue rays look stunning well worth a look

Standard def pictures can be a bit hit and miss depends on the source,and the sound is a little disappointing but no worse than most other LCD screens

The picture is simply stunning compared to my old crt television, The colours seem so natural plus the bravia engine removes all the video noise making even SD tv look awesome. Getting the best picture was really easy, there are enough option the satisfy anyone.

The TV is a magnet for dust, Sony please make them in black matt!! Shiny TV bezels require far too much dusting. I'd also like to point out that having speakers under the unit reduces the affect of the front surround sound. With LCDs being so thin the speakers lack the deep bass of the ones in good quality CRTs.

Excellent picture quality when connected to a PS3 which automatically upscales DVDs to 1080p. Blue ray films look spectacular with breath taking clarity, detail, and colour also at 1080p.
Freeview is above average, not perfect, but viewable from about 10 feet away definately better than most other LCDs I have viewed.
Black glossy finish looks wonderful.
3 HDMI ports 2 at the rear and 1 on the side is very useful.
-
Sound quality from the stereo speakers built in aren't that powerful.

Hi def material is very clear., have not got a blu ray disc to test hi def in depth. good for mps3 and xbox 360 consoles. Though you would definitely need a hdmi lead for ps3 as standard leads are not hi def compatible. The white levels are very good and the screen can go really bright, which is a good thing as normal lcd's dim over time.
-
Tv had obviously been open before. Both polystyrene top sections were on same side of the box.
you would need to sit well back to not notice the blocking and blurriness on standard definition material. not really many options for setting picture and sound. Black levels are not as good as i expected.

>Excellent 1080p when used with PS3 and Bluray\DVD.
>Sturdy wide base which is something not seen with other LCD\Plasma Screens. The TV pretty much sits directly on the base plate, giving it that low center of gravity, making pushing\pulling it over a little harder
>Excellent sound quality.
>3xHDMI output, the 3rd on the left hand side - bit of a nightmare if your children like to poke things :), but the 3rd output is not usually seen on LCD's.
>Easy setup, Remote Control is not to cluttered, perfect for its sole intention, to work the TV.

(NEUTRAL POINT) Some of the older created programmes screened over standard digital are noticeable poor quality. The programmes recently created are reproduced superbly, hence why this is a neutral point as this is the broadcast quality.
(NEUTRAL POINT) The screen gets very dusty very quickly, and is very noticeable on the Black finish, would recommend buying a good screen cleaner when purchasing this item, if your abit of a clean freak like myself.
