I purchased this television six months ago. I do not have cable and use an antenna. This tv has a sturdy frame and a very clear picture as well as first rate sound quality for a small screen television; however, on at least one of the major networks this television loses sound and sometimes picture roughly every twenty minutes. I have to move the antenna and/or turn the set off and back on to restore normal broadcast. I have moved this set to different locations and even watched it at a friend’s house to rule out the possibility of interference. Nothing has helped. I spoke to a repairman and he says that there’s probably a problem with the tuning mechanism and that I’m most likely stuck with a lemon. I bought a Sony thinking that I would get quality. I was wrong. Foolishly perhaps, I just purchased another Sony. This time a 22-inch Bravia L-series. So far, so good. No problems.
4 Stars This TV Met My Expectations
I purchased this TV on 6/7/09 to fit on my kitchen counter under cabinetry. It had to replace my existing 13″ CRT. Finding an LCD HDTV with a large enough screen, but short enough to fit under the counter, was a major problem. This Bravia gave me the largest screen available that would fit.
From reading reviews prior to my purchase, I had concerns about quality of picture, stability, look, etc, but I have been quite happy with my purchase. I have it connected to Time Warner Cable, exclusively (I don’t watch over the air HDTV). Compared to my old CRT, the picture quality is very good – color is good, sound is good. The fact that it is 720p hasn’t been a problem because the screen is still pretty small. Point is, I’m not demanding a lot from the TV, but I don’t accept crap – its performing more than well enough for a kitchen TV. One small complaint – it takes about 10 sec to warm up and get a picture when you turn it on.
I have also used it as a second monitor to my macbook pro laptop. It works fine.
It isn’t a beautiful TV, but it isn’t too ugly, either. I bought the white/silver combo. As of July 11, 2009, no technical issues, or failures.
3 Stars Color of TV
When purchasing this TV – no matter what the color of the television says in the description (ex. black, silver, or any other color) – that color will only be on the face of the TV, and the rest of it will be white. If you are aware of this, then you will not be shocked or disappointed when you unpack it. This is an example of a very poor description of a TV. The TV itself is fine.

Good reliable TV. I mounted this TV in my motorhome although the instructions from Sony state that the TV should not be installed in a moving vehicle. I mounted it to a wall mount and it works just fine. Good sound and picture. The only drawback is that I move my motorhome often and the TV autotune takes up to 50 minutes to do an Autosearch to reset available channels in the area.
My old set took only about 5 minutes. Otherwise we love the set and would recommend it.
5 Stars Not a bad TV….
I got this TV to do two jobs. First was to act as separate computer monitor and as a second TV. The SONY does both jobs very well.
