Fantastic Pictuer and features, but…,
This is a marvelous TV with a fantastic picture and some of the deepest blacks and best contrast of any LCD television on the market. It has an abundance of features and I have gotten addicted to the ability to browse the web on it. I thought the remote would be too much with all the buttons and the qwerty keyboard, but I was wrong. It is well laid out with the top section set up to control your most often adjusted features and the bottom set up for internet browsing. I found two flaws that may or may not bother people. The controls for adjusting the screen aspect ratio are a few layers deep in the menu system. That can be a pain if you are changing around from standard definition to high definition a lot. More significantly, the off-axis viewing is awful. If you are sitting anywhere near the sweet spot, say an angle of 45 degrees off center, the picture is excellent. If you go further out than that the picture becomes milky, which I cannot tolerate. My family doesn’t seem to care. I work in TV so it bothers me a lot. If those two flaws wouldn’t bother you, buy one.

|solid sony product quality,
just purchased the tv this past weekend. based on the two previous reviews, we were a bit hesitant to purchase. however, we tend to be early adopters and i’ve been looking for a reason to sign up for google tv.
the tv really is about 2 components: 1) tv and 2) software. i will call them out separately.
the tv is what you expect from sony. solid, designed beautifully, solid metal stand. picture quality is excellent. expected number of inputs. you can’t really complain about the tv. we had a samsung tv that had a cheap tuner and wouldn’t pick up all the unscrambled digital channels but this tv did. we own other sony’s and knew they had a solid tuner built in. we would never buy a samsung again due to the cheap tuner. it’s a moot point if you have a cable box, but not everyone wants an additional box.
the software. first off, the sony typical UI software is ok. even with our 52 inch and bravia xbr, the UI isn’t anything to brag about. though the UI is better than Vizio and other smaller brands, but you are buying a tv, you aren’t buying software. Having google tv as the tv UI is refreshing. unfortunately, if you’ve read anything online about google tv, it’s really in the infancy stages. the number of apps are limited. however, this can be overcome by the fact that updates are being pushed out regularly by the google tv team. the software appears to be more responsive against the remote keystrokes than earlier comments, BUT really the UI is a menu that allows you to surf on Google’s Chrome browser. I believe the software has a lot of room to grow and that is why i can’t give the tv 5 stars yet.
so in summary
Pro:
Solid picture quality
Good Tuner
Google UI better than Sony’s previous UI
Cons:
Google TV still in infancy
Remote looks cool but volume and channel buttons should be bigger
Overall, it’s solid. if you want something cutting edge, this is a good product. Just need to be aware that the software definitely has room to grow. I have no regrets in purchasing this product.
