bright and sharp HD images
I've had this TV for about a week now. It is my first non CRT TV (first HD TV as well), so I had high expectations as well as quite a bit of uncertainties. When the TV arrived, my wife was worried that the size of the TV was too big for our family room, and she said she got motion sickness when she watched the TV. But after about a week, she had no such complaints.
I chose this TV after an extensive search, but the main reason for me was the picture quality that I saw at Best Buy...

Pretty Good, But....
OK, so the last TV I purchased was 1990. Yes, technology has come a long way for sure. I've been really wanting to make the jump to a big screen, and last weekend I finally purchased the Sony 55" LCD. While at the store, this TV was near a plasma, and with some tweaking of the remote, I was able to get the picture on this TV to be as close to the same as the plasma as possible. It looked GREAT! BUT....
When viewing TV on a non-HD receiver, the picture leaves a bit to be desired...

Still waiting
I purchased this item on 12/29/05. I received an email telling me that it shipped on 12/30/05 and the expected delivery date was 1/6/06 to 1/10/06. On 1/11/06 I called Amazon and they were unable to tell me the status of the shipment. I've seen these in the store and they look really great. Wish I had one.

HDTV IS NICE REGULAR TV IS TERRIBLE
So first off I'll explain as much as i can from the experience.
I order it from Amazon.com takes abuot 2 1/2 weeks to arrive from the time i order it. A third party delivers my TV with 3 Guys. the BOX IS HUGE!!! They help carry it downstairs, unpack, setup, and take away all my boxes etc. Overall a Good Experience. But i hate waiting for the 2 1/2 Weeks~!!
After plugging in my cable directly into the TV ( NO HD YET). I start to surf around and the picture quality i...

Great picture and sound, and six auxiliary input sources
Some people have complained about the quality of standard-definition (non-High Definition) TV signals on this system. Of course, standard-definition signals are going to look much poorer than high-definition signals, but I was very surprised by the fact that standard-definition actually looks a lot better on this TV than it did on my 27-inch standard-definition JVC TV which was top-of-the-line in its size range when I purchased it in 1999.
The controls are fairly easy to understand...

Our Television Upgrade
We just upgraded from a 19" set we'd had since college to this 55" beauty. Before settling on this sony television we did a lot of research. Here are my observations about the tv that prospective buyers might be interested in.
Visibility from the side was much better with this television than with non-LCD modes of projection, and it is even better when compared to other LCD projection tvs of different brands. We specifically compared it to the panasonic 61". The image does get...

Great Buy: if done right
What most people don't understand with this TV and all other TV's of this type or plasmas, is that when you go to buy one of these TV in a store like Best Buy, they have all of them wired up with the best technology, i.e., HDMI cables, digital broadcasts, optical cables for sound. Simply buying this TV and hooking it up to standardcable is going to make it look like a normal TV magnified, in other words "horrible".
But, if hooked up to digital cable or satelite using premium quality cable...

Very well worth it.
We just "Downgraded" from a 56" DLP to this fine baby last week.
So far this tv looks amazing. Im not rating anything on sound as We hook everything up to our home theater amp.
Bought this during all the memorial day sales for an awesome price.
Setup was a breeze, picture quality is awesome if you sit the right distance from the tv. Anyone who complains about the picture on this tv is seeing the following:
SDTV - if you watch anything in Standard def on this tv, it...

Great TV
I got this model about 2 months ago and I gotta say it's the best TV I've owned. I don't miss my old 52 inch rear projection behemoth one bit (gonna gut it, take out the screen and let my nephews use it for a puppet-show stage!).
The thing that struck me when I saw this unit in the showroom was the quality of picture for the price. From all angles, the picture looked terrific. Once I got it home, I found that the programming and other control features were very intuative to me. ...
