5 Stars Brillant High-Def TV
This TV is simply amazing, and really brings Blu-Ray movies to life. Match this with a surround sound system and you’ll feel like it’s a movie theater in your home. I use this TV also for gaming and I’ve used it a LOT and haven’t had any problems. It’s energy saving modes are nice too and uses the same amount of electricity as a smaller 32″ CRT TV.

5 Stars Upgrade and enjoy!.
Download the new TV’s firmware upgrade of from Sony’s web page, copy it to a flash drive, insert it in the USB port in the back of the TV, and the dim problem will be solved.

4 Stars Nice TV
Bought it at the local BB a few months ago. Could’ve gotten more features from other brands at about the same price; or same features and size for less money but wife wanted a Sony, so for our budget we had to settle for this entry model. The set up was very easy and overall very user-friendly.

Had the same dimming problem many had. Tried to download the fix via Sony’s website but the TV woudln’t recognize any of my USB drive, so we called Sony to send a drive to us and problem mostly fixed. On some of the dark scenes it seems like the TV still want to dimm out but is fighting itself.

The stand feels kind of flimsy but is holding up so far. The internal speakers are surprisingly good. Not surround or anything but they are loud and relatively clean. The TV quality is good so for fast-action sport games.

Overall, it’s a very nice unit.
