Pros: Easy installation and nice picture.
Cons: None.

I located this 46" Sony LCD set for a 12'x24' living room because mounted on the 12' wall it was very visable from almost anywhere on the opposite wall.

I mounted the 46" LCD TV over a false fireplace, running an electrical connection and a cable connection up inside the wall to outlets located behind the wall bracket. This was easy and the cables are hidden. The set weighs about 80 pounds including the bracket so I made sure the installation was sturdy. I made a cardboard template for it and the 52" Sony and decided the 46" size worked the best in this 12'x24' room. A template gives you a good perspective and I would recommend using one before deciding on a size.

Setting up the clicker and set was very easy. I used the default settings. The Comcast clicker interfaced nicely with this LCD. The picture coming from (1) the ComCast high def. cable box and (2) my regular DVD player (not Blue or HD) is very nice.

The speakers are good and can put out lots of power at high volume settings.
