Pros: Absolutely amazing HD picture, easy to setup and use, reasonably priced
Cons: One set has a very occasional power up issue as discussed, probably isolated issue

I've had this set (actually bought two of them) for a few months now and they have been great! Of course in order to get the maximum from these LCD sets you need to have an HD capable set top box from your cable/satellite provider. It is rated up to ...

Pros: Looks great on the wall. Awesome picture quality
Cons: Fragile frame around it makes it difficult to install

I'm just going to hit a few points that were of concern to me when I bought this TV over a year ago. Other people have posted the "speeds and feeds" so I'm not going to duplicate that info. My old TV blew up and wasn't really ready to go whole route ...

Compared this Sony unit with its competitors and in every electronics store, the Sony always impressed me. In my mind, his unit is the top of the top.

When it arrived, the setup was very easy both mechanically and electronically.

It does offer a multitude of set up parameters which can be a bit daunting to setup. Fortunately, if you find what you did to modify the parameters there is a reset function. There are forums that have some suggestions.

Manuals were clear and understandable although some of the setup parameter descriptions could have been clearer.

I had friends over to watch this system and they wanted to know where I got it so they could get one for themselves.

No comment on the built-in sound as I use a home theatre system.

If you decide on this unit you will be smiling every time you watch it.

Pros: Great picture, multiple inputs(3 HDMI), classy design.
Cons: Pricey, no cable card slot, makes you wish you got the 52"

I have had this set for about a month now. I have absolutely no complaints at all about this set. Beautiful picture. Great blacks for a LCD. Vibrant, life-like colors on HD content. I have a up-convert DVD player connected via HDMI and DVD's are impressive as well.
