Title: Great price and TV Date: October 7, 2008
ProsGreat TV! I bought it from Dell a few months ago and received a great price from them with a protection plan and also and top-of-the-line surge protecter for less than ALL the competitors. The TV is great with 4 HDMI inputs and the motion enhancer is awesome with the Theater mode. Set up is pretty easy and the factory stand is great as well. Good looking TV with all the options. I was looking at XBR series but this (although doesn't look as elegant as the XBR) has all the options the higher class model has for a lower price. 120 HRZ, 52 inches, 4 HDMI inputs, all Bravia features, what else do you need
ConsSound is just a tad weak, but when you have a 52 in. LCD, you are supposed to have a theater system anyways!

Review:great with the PS3. Bluray collection had greatly increased since I bought this TV!

Title: Huge Mama Jama Date: March 24, 2009
Pros* Ginormous
* Built-in speakers better than expected
* User-upgradable firmware via USB thumb drive
* Separate picture settings per input
Cons* It can take a while to tweak the picture settings to your liking (since there are a bazillion settings).
* It takes a few seconds for the display to screen between SD & HD channels. Not a big deal though.

Review:This replaced an old 27" Toshiba CRT TV. Going from 27" to 52" is mind-numbing (in a good way). Like another poster said, my wife thinks it's too big (that's what she said). However, when she was able to watch 'Lost' in HD for the first time, I didn't hear anymore complaints after that.

I also connected this puppy to my laptop via VGA at full HD resolution, and the picture looked excellent considering it's an analog input. The picture was very clear. I streamed an HD movie over the network on my laptop this way, and it was comparable to Bluray quality. I plan on getting a Popcorn Hour media streaming device soon to go along with this TV.

Title: Best TV ever! Date: March 19, 2009
ProsI am extremely glad I purchased this TV. It has the best picture I've ever seen. It's almost like your right there on the set where filming is taking place. I also have a Sony Blu Ray DVD Player and those DVD's are amazing on this Bravia and even the regular DVD's are more enhanced, it's almost scary! I would recommend this TV to anyone wanting to acquire an HDTV, it's the greatest. It even worked right out of the box and only took me 30 minutes to set up!
ConsDelivery company was very slow considering they were only 30 miles from where I live and it took them almost a full week to deliver it!

Title: Excellent TV - great purchase Date: March 6, 2009
ProsWe've had the TV for just over a month and I can't say enough good things about it. Price, ease of set up, ease of use, we are very pleased with it.
ConsCan not think of a single one.

Review:52" is bigger than we had talked about getting - but Dell ran a special, it was a really decent deal so we ordered it. I asked the lady of the house if it was too big (after we set it up) - the response: yes, but I'm used to it now we have to keep it!

Review:I bought this Sony from Dell when it was on sale for $1899. I used my Government/Military discount and saved another 7% and got the TV for only $1766. No one anywhere can touch that price. Dell delivered in 3 days for free!

ProsThe TV was $100's less than I could find one around here. Shipping company was great, Dell was great. TV was a breeze to hook up and the picture is the best I have ever seen.
ConsNONE It is worth the extra bucks to get a high quality TV like this

Review:The SONY light on the bottom of the TV that lights up when the set is on is so relaxing to watch in a dark room

ProsDell had, by far, the best price I have seen for this model. It was hundreds of dollars cheaper than the regular electronics/big box stores. The free shipping was appreciated. Easy set up, worked great right out of the box; the picture is absolutely beautiful; my husband really loves it too!
ConsNone so far

Review:Took a little extra time to get this delivered, as the freight co would not deliver after business hours. They did deliver on a Saturday though, and were right on time.

ProsEase of programming and adjusting picture quality and options is far superior to any other LCD or Plasma I researched.
ConsWatch out for the auto-bright feature. If left on at night it can dim the pictue too far. I would suggest a custom setting for night viewing if the standard setting is to brilliant.

Title: Great TV Date: November 9, 2008
ProsPicture quality is outstanding. I had a 60"Sony XBR (rear projection) and this TV's picture is much better. I watch a lot of football on HD and I have not noticed any motion blur. If watching live sports, I would invest the extra cost in the 120hz model. If using the stretch modes for normal broadcasts, Sony does not have as much of a "squashed" picture as other brands. I use mine on auto mode and the picture is still large enough. I cannot rate the sound since I use a home theater system. Dell's price was $300 less than a big box store and a bigger discount than what Sony was offering. I bought the Chief RLT-1 wall mount and it was very easy to install. I installed it in about 1 hour.
ConsDepending on how you prefer your picture, you will see lighter spots on the corners when viewing dark pictures. This can be adjusted but it makes the picture too dark for my preference.

I orderd two different TVs from Dell and had them shipped to two different cities. The same shipping company waited until the final delivery date to deliver the TVs. Both addresses were about 120-150 miles from a major airport. I called the shipping company on one occasion and was told it wouldn't be delivered until the next week since the delivery truck already came to our city for the week. I also requested they call during certain hours so I could arrange to be off from work which they didn't do. They called on a Sunday afternoon and delivered Monday.

Title: Best TV I've ever owned. Date: October 20, 2008
ProsAmazing picture quality for such a big TV.
Blu-Ray looks astoundingly good.
Get an upscaling DVD player for your existing DVD's. Believe me, it's worth it.
Sound quality is more than adequate.
Xbox games look fantastic.
ConsMenu system is a bit fiddly but once the thing is set up, you hardly need to go near them.
Some games give me motion sickness now as the screen is so big - lol!

Review:I can't spout loads of technical details to you, I just use the thing. It's an expensive purchase, but I can tell you that I have absolutely no regrets. It's a fantastic TV and I'm suddenly much more popular with all my friends!
