Sony remains the best I spent several months researching LCD HDTVs before ordering the 26" Bravia S-Series from Amazon. Replacing a 27" CRT, the new television needed to fit in my existing media armoire. My chief priorities were picture quality and build quality.
I looked at several brands sold by my local warehouse club. The Sharp models seemed to reveal many artifacts from HD sources, and the plastics used - plus the cheesy remotes - left much to be desired. Samsung's offerings had substantially bette...

great LCD TV I am very happy with the sony lcd tv. I narrowed down the 26" lcd tv's to a couple and checked them out at local stores. I liked the picture of the sony over samsung which was my 2nd choice. plus the sony did not have large speakers on the sides or bottom making it too large for the small opening in my entertainment center. the price was comparable and sony quality has always been good for me.

Owned this for a week now. This LCD is great, i was nervous because it is the first flat screen that the wife and I have ever bought. We set it up and it was a breeze, plugged our DVD player in and it also worked great. The picture quality with standard TV is very nice, but the HD picture quality is superb. I had to adjust the picture settings out of the box, but that is to be expected. Over all, I am very, very pleased with this product and Amazon's quick delivery.

Very Nice, Perfect for Bedroom, Minor Issues I got this LCD a week ago and LOVE IT. PC Richards lowered their price to $699. So I took their ad to a competitor retailer and they matched it. PCR is still selling it for that price.
(Updated this part)
It is in my bedroom and connected to basic cable, no box. My cable signal was too weak up there and I could not get the free HD channels. I did not want another cable box due to the expense. So, I bought a Motorla signal booster and connected it into the main splitter...

Nice TV, even if a bit pricey Never really concentrated to much on the sony products because of the prices of them. For the money, you can get a larger sized samsung like a 32", or for the same size TV you can save big bucks by going with a westinghouse or other bargain priced TV's sized at 26" which is ideal for a bedroom. After purchasing a 26" westinghouse and not being extremely happy I bought a 32" Vizio. Still not satisfied, I left the bargain TV basement and took the plunge and bought this TV. Wow, what a differen...

If only Sony was as good as Amazon, J&R & UPS Before reviewing the product I do want to say that I couldn't have been more pleased with the speedy delivery from Amazon, J&R Music and Computer World and UPS. I input my order to Amazon at 11:37 PM on a Wednesday evening and the TV was on my doorstep at 1:30 PM on Friday afternoon, just under 38 hours. J&R's warehouse is about 130 miles from my house so no grass was growing between the toes of Amazon, J&R or UPS.
Unfortunately the speedy service was to no avail since it will be ...

Works well as a computer monitor! Am I the only one who thinks the pixel size on typical computer monitors is way too small? Fortunately, one can buy HDTVs and essentially choose their pixel size, which is what I did with this 26" Sony Bravia. With my PC, I can run it at 1360 x 768 pixels, and the Bravia is smart enough not to scale it ("1:1 pixel mapping" is what it's called). In fact, no matter what resolution I send to the Bravia via my computer (600x800, 768x1024), the Bravia shows it unscaled, and this results in a small...

Moderate picture quality. the fact that the 26 inch Sony Bravia is not a 1080p TV [it is 720p] makes for moderate picture quality. A built in DVD player would have added a lot of functionality. I like the overall finish and easy to use controls. My wife liked the fact that it is small enough for the bedroom. I wonder if it is worth the $717 that we paid...

Good TV I bought this Sony Bravia for a furnished apartment that I rent out. It is not hooked up to high def...just regular cable. The tenant has the option of buying a high def box. What's excellent about the TV is its ease of navigation. It has a convenient toggle on the remote that switches between wide and standard screen viewing. I think the non def picture is as good as you can find on a new HDTV, but it is indeed a little "blurry" when viewed too close. A Samsung I bought at the same time for a d...
