Great HD Picture w/o Glossy Screen Reflections
Love the HD picture quality (PQ) of the Samsung 52B750, but don't watch TV in cave and don't want to deal with all those reflections off a glossy screen? Well, the Sony 52Z5100 is the answer. HD PQ with the Z5100 is excellent with great black levels, but without the "shaving mirror" reflectivity of the screen during dark or black scenes. We were looking at the 52B750, based on reviews and seeing it at UE, but after testing our viewing room at various times of day with a glass picture frame an...

Great LCD Television
This display was sent to me by Sony to replace my KDS-R60XBR2. I had to have the optical block replaced three times. The bonus was that I got to keep it as well. The set arrived this past Friday and when I un-boxed it, I was immediately taken by its no-nonsense sexy look. I consider flat panel TVs to be a work of art, even when they are not running.
I placed a Blu Ray copy of Digital Video Essentials in my PS3 and an HD DVD copy in my HD-XA2. I calibrated the TV, which was a breeze s...

Awesome TV
I got this model after some serious research on SonyStyle and reading some reviews here on Amazon. It is indeed true that this model is almost EXACTLY the same as the higher-priced XBR9. In fact I was looking at the XBR9 until I found out about this model.
I've had this TV for about 3 weeks and I am happy with my purchase. The quality is awesome, but admittedly I'm not a tech-freak so I don't have gobs of HDTV experience to compare it to.
Also, the built-in speakers are ...

Amazon Customer Service is Outstanding!
I received the Sony Bravia KDL-52Z5100 a couple of weeks ago, and soon discovered a bad pixel in the center of the screen. I called Amazon and the customer service rep was excellent. She handled my problem expeditiously, ordered a new TV, and arranged for the old one to be picked up.
The TV is top of the line. Features are easy to use. Picture is crystal clear. Sound is very good. No glare from screen.
Watching Wimbleton tennis was great with 240hz. Can't wait for ...

Awesome picture quality
My wife and I just moved into a new house and we a new television for my "Man Room". I shopped around for months, checked out all brands and many different sizes. The Sony BRAVIA Z-Series 52inch 240hz LCD TV was the one that I chose. In the past I've had excellent luck with Sony products. They last forever!
When I took this one out of the box and hooked it up to my Verizon FiOS, I was absolutely floored at how awesome the picture quality was with the HD channels. I flipped thro...

carbon copy
The Sony Bravia Z series KDL-52Z5100 is a carbon copy of the Sony Bravia XBR series KDL-52XBR9,both have 240 Hz Bravia Engine 3 and internet video/widgets, so if your looking for consumer reviews for the Z series just simply go to the Sony Bravia XBR9, like i said carbon copies, and if you want to save some money go with the Z series its 260 dollars cheaper, if you can stand waiting a little more the price will drop even further.most but not all these units have Mura, clouding in dark scenes a S...

Fantastic Picture and Sound
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) We have an older version of the 52 inch Bravia, and this one is even better! The 240hz does make a difference for fast moving objects like Hockey and quick camera pans. The TV was easy to setup and comes with loads of cool extras. It even sounds good with its built-in speakers (a lot of other brands sound horrible!). Can't recommend it enough, and Amazon had the lowest price by about ...

Sony 52" z 5100 LCD
I'll keep it simple as many others have done the technical details already. My husband and I have been closely following the plasma and LCD tv models for the past many years, looking but never justifying the splurge. (Tightwads) We narrowed it down to Sony, Samsung and Sharp Aquus. We finally took the plunge and bought the Sony for my 50th b'day in June. We could not tell the difference between the Sony Z series and the XBR series, so saved many hundreds buying the Z. Also, we got the tv at...

Best in Class
Great Picture quality and nice looking set. Better than any TV I have seen in the stores. Easily beats Samsung, since no reflection screen really matters in well lid room. Has many option that you can set up to your taste, even Internet using wireless bridge device that is sold separately. The only negative is no sleep button on the remote and menus are difficult to browse.
I just uncovered a problem with features that are described in the Instruction manual, but TV doesn't have them. Adva...

I LOVE THIS LCD TV!
The 52" Sony 1280P, 240Hz LCD HDTV replaces my 50" Panasonic 1280I Plasma HDTV monitor, and is everything I wanted in a new big screen TV. The Plasma had a great picture in most conitions, but required a dimly lit room for best viewing, was prone to screen "sparkle" distortion in the blades of grass of football fields & herring bone/tight patterened clothing, and would blur high speed images watching sports. The Sony is far brighter, displays no "sparkle effect", and is crysal clear no matter wh...
