Problems but could be great
Have owned this TV since May and it is an amazingly super picture except for one flaw. There is some sort of color shifting that sometimes occurs. It seems to annoy the heck out of some people. It doesn’t bother me as it doesn’t happen that often. People should know that Sony was told about this problem in May of 2009 and to this date refuse to acknowledge that there’s a problem. That does not speak well for them.
The main issue I have with this TV is the sound. Sometimes there is a very annoying loud “pop” when changing channels from a HD image to a SD image. Not good. Again, Sony’s response was non-existant as they have ignored fixing it even with two firmware updates. I guess these issues cannot be corrected or they would have.
Aside from those issues the picture is stunning. I’ve not seen a better sharp clear picture on any TV. It’s like the picture jumps out of the screen into your living room. So, should you buy it? Yes, but be prepared to return the TV if you cannot live with the occasional color flash or sound pop.

Nothing comparable in its size, featureset, pricerange. Period.
There is no other TV on the market that can match its picture quality features in this price range. All TV’s under 1000 will have quirks. I’ve never had anyone notice anything but amazement when watching this set.
If you want a videophile quality television, sorry but you need to pony up and spend more than $1000 for a 120hz, 52″ tv.
If this is a problem I’m sure there are many 42″ that fit your needs and match this feature-set at $1000.
The free PS3 was the icing on the cake.
I could not ask for more at this price range and am extremely satisfied with my purchase.
I do recommend that you properly calibrate the TV. If your settings show overlight bright colors then things such as the ever so slight “red flashing” will be more apparent to you.
Pony up or quit whining
