5 Stars Sony KDL 52XBRo 52 inch HDTV
Picture quality is excellent.Internet hookup works fine with a Linksys WET610N bridge. Hooked up to a Bose sound system, the whole experience is probably as good as it gets.
5 Stars AWESOME TV!!!
This TV is more than I ever expected. It was a great purchase at a great price.
5 Stars I can see clearly now!
Picture is bigger than my 46 inch SONY, but just as clear with even better color. With all the XBR features offered, it’s a great bargain.

1 Star Failed at 3 months
First, the LCD TV screen went dead after only 3 months . People on the internet say it is because of Samsung supplier changing capacitors quality in the power supply. Then I could not return and replace at Walmart where I bought it. Then after navigating the difficult service request web pages on the Samsung site, I finally put in my credit card number for shipping costs back to the service center 200 miles away, and their server froze and did not complete the transaction. Now I do not know if the service request went through and I will get the shipping label I paid for, or if I have to start over and go through the whole process again. I think it is time to take this to the people, and write some poor reviews on the web. Shame on you Samsung!
4 Stars The price was right for this TV
I like this LCD TV. The picture and sound are nice and clear. But unless you sit right in front of the TV, you’ll see some kind of faded pictures. Also, don’t try to use 50 foot composite video cable if your TV is 50 ft away from your STB/DVD because what you’ll see is a poor picture. Use component video cables if you can afford. Don’t use CAT6 to make component video cables; they won’t work at least for this TV. I made three 50 ft component video cables using telephone cables, and they work fine. Good luck.
4 Stars Excellent HD quality!
Great quality and sound, very satisfied with my purchase. The only complaint I have is that there is a long delay in first turning the TV on.
5 Stars I Love This TV!!

5 Stars Ususal Samsung quality

1 Star DISSATISFIED
The $25 wall mount (can be called an articulating arm) claims to be able to support 33#, both in a horizontal and vertical direction. It could not support my iMac, 24″, weighing 23.5#. The monitor’s weight could not be supported vertically as the flat screen flopped downward to the maximum downward tilt with the the horizontal hinge torqued to its limits. This made the mount unuseable requiring return. The Bretford mount on the Apple site looks similar but cost $129. I returned the flexible tilt mount and purchased a fixed (no tilt) wall mount which worked fine. The inexpensive price proved costly as I paid almost an equal $25 price for the initial shipping $9, the return shipping $9 plus a 15% restocking fee, as per Amazon’s policies.
I can not be sure the weight distribution played a factor, as I doubt the specific product was a defective unit.
5 Stars LCD mount
Great product at a great price. Fits the TV perfectly and mounts and adjusts easily.
4 Stars good product & easy to install
Very easy to install and use. The arm and tilt functions work great. Would recommend.
5 Stars Great mount for the price
I ordered one of these for my wife because she wanted to mount her 24″ monitor on the wall to free up some disk space. This is a very versatile mount but installation could be a little tricky because it is all one piece. When I mounted it to the desk, it was easy because I placed the monitor on a stack of books set at the desired height. We ordered a 2nd mount to mount a TV in the corner of our dining room. Because it was high off the ground, I had to attach the mount to the wall, then hold the TV up while my wife attached the screws to the back. All in all, great mount for the price, highly recommended!

3 Stars Headphone socket issues
This is a nice unit and I had no troubles setting it up where I wanted it. It’s nice and light so it sits on top of the DVD and Tivo players.
I was disappointed by the actual size of the picture, since I had measured our previous tube TV diagonally and determined the LCD replacement based on that, but didn’t take into account the fact that the LCD diagonal screen size measurement was based on its wide screen shape and therefore the height measurement would end up being smaller than our current TV screen. So watch out for that if you’re replacing something you already have for the bedroom for example. I eventually sent this TV back and replaced it with a 32″ for this reason and the headphone socket.
Since this is in the bedroom, occasionally I was still watching a TV show after my wife had fallen asleep, so I used the headphone socket a few times to listen without disturbing her. After maybe 5 times of using this socket (with a pair of Sony headphones), the removal of the headphone plug no longer returned sound to the speakers. It seems that the headphone socket was apparently stuck in the open position even after taking the plug out. I called Viewsonic support and they weren’t able to help. They gave me a case number and said they would call back with a returns number. 5 days later I gave up on them and just got a returns number from J&R (the store it was actually shipped from) who would very helpful and since I was within 30 days had no problem taking it back. As I write this, I am waiting for the credit to my account and I know it arrived at their offices yesterday, but this doesn’t seem like it will be a problem.
So in summary, I would suggest you take note of the actual screen height, not just the diagonal measurement when replacing your existing TV if you have one, and if you’re never going to use the headphone socket, you should be fine with this model, which has perfectly fine looks, good picture and good sound for a small unit. Of course, many people say 1080p at this size is not even noticable, and I would have to agree, and most HD shows are delivered in 720p so you’re not going to see much of a gain over 720p models unless you intend to watch Blu-Ray I expect.
5 Stars Great TV, even better monitor
I chose this TV because I live in a studio and don’t have enough room for both a TV screen and a computer screen. I was already using my computer to watch movies and living without a TV, but only so much is available online (particularly live events). It was very hard to find a screen with high enough resolution to work as a computer monitor, but this TV was a perfect match!
First, on TV attributes, the picture quality is great and many non-HD channels give me an option to “zoom” and fill the screen if needed. I also have a 20-yr old Nintendo and a 25 year old Atari, another reason for getting the TV, which work terrific and automatically stretch to fill the entire widescreen without too much distortion. My only gripes are channel management is a bit clunky and the blue power button right on the front is a bit of a distraction. Sound is also mediocre but obviously you’re not going to find $500 speakers on a $300 TV. I output the TV through my receiver stereo speakers and the sound is much much better.
As a computer monitor this TV really excels. Resolution is consistent with what you’d find on a standard widescreen monitor, so there’s no blurriness common with outputting a signal through a standard CRT. Also after several LCDs over the years this is my first with no dead pixels. Great job to ViewSonic on quality control. I haven’t tried gaming yet, I probably wouldn’t push it anyways, but DVD movies output just as if I had a DVD player hooked up to the TV directly. Just perfect all around as a monitor, though if you use Windows I suggest switching the theme to one that allows extra large fonts if you find yourself squinting.
5 Stars Good deal!
The only beef I have with this product is the lack of easy connections. Everything is on bottom requiring tipping the TV over in order to connect anything. I really like the ability to adjust the viewing aspect on the remote, easily adjusting between 4:3 and wide-screen modes. For the price, this unit is great! I would have given it “6″ stars if the connections for additional sources had been more convenient.
5 Stars Great Tv all arround, but difficult inputs
Every thing about this Tv is Great from picture, sound, good surround sound, menu feature and good monitor with size. The only thing is how to hook up the differnt inputs. You have to do little bending and turnig in order to plug a cable to it in the back.
2 Stars poor sharpness, no definition
After reading the good reviews, I brought this unit couple weeks ago. I am using it for TV only and have it plugged into my Comcast cable. The color is good and natural, the quality of the speaker is so-so but surprisingly, it can be very loud. I use it in the kitchen and have to set it at about 20%; otherwise, it will be too loud.
For no apparent reason, the unit received no signal from the cable after one week. I noticed that when I turn it on, the Viewsonic wallpaper, the three birds appears in grey. I tested it by hooking it up to the PC, same thing happened, no signal from the PC either. But after some plugging and unplugging, miraculously, the color and the signal came back. It’s been another week, so far so good. I hope it is not some loose wire inside the unit that caused the problem.
Anyway, my major complaint is that the picture on this unit has absolutely no definition, I don’t know if it is because I do not have HD channel or what, but the quality of the picture is so blend that my old Samsung box TV’s picture is better. It is especially bad on light color objects, you only see a patch of color and not much more.

4 Stars XBR Owner
I purchased this product about a month ago for an amazing price which was the main con from CNET. I have cable programming so the signal is usually good. Here are my thoughts;
Pros:
Looks great
Price (Better than any place I visited and all competitors)
HD programming is amazing, Sports are fantastic
Scene and angle selections are fun and allow you to customize quickly
Fast shipping, no damage anywhere
Plenty of input options
Regular sound is good
Wireless and computer features are fun
Cons:
Regular programming is not very good in most cases
Overall, I would recommend this TV to anybody but always do the research and know what you are getting. I had a get together soon after I bought it and the guys just sat around and starred at it for a few hours. Great purchase before football season.
4 Stars Great picture but the sound needs improving
I’ve done my research and I’ve asked around to those who had the products I was looking at. In the end I chose the SONY Bravia XBR. My brother gave it great reviews and I liked what I saw on his. He has the 40 inch and I’ve purchased the 46inch. Hooking it up was fairly easy for a woman who lives alone. The picture quality for HD is great. I love it. However, the sound quality is not as I had hoped. Some shows come in loud and clear while others, you have to put the volume up all the way and sit closer just to hear it well. I’ve gotten the home theater hooked up to it, as well, and that helps when watching DVD’s. All in all, it’s not a bad tv and I would recommend it to others. If SONY can improve on the sound quality this will be one supurb buy!
2 Stars close caption problems
CLOSE CAPTION PROBLEMS – this sony model will not show close caption on high definition channels or ANY channel if you use a HDMI CABLE. So if you use close caption, this is not the set for you.
1 Star Died after 17 months!!! I’m TICKED!!!
Bought it in Feb 2008. Worked great until about a month ago when the right half of the screen goes dark. I bought it from Vanns. They tell me I’m SOL (my words)
I’m outside of the warrante. I think this TV would make a heck of a door stop!
Caveat emptor!!!!

5 Stars Sony Bravia HDTV
After researching flat screen LCD’s we decided on this one. There is a learning curve and it’s worth it to take the time. Not just with sony but in general with HD’s. We were sold on Amazon because of no sales tax and free shipping. Delivery was fast and efficient. The only dissatisfier to date is the mute button on the remote which is too small. Otherwise, we can use the Directv remote in combination. There are many nice features on the sony remote and I like the compatibility with my other sony devices.
The picture is so clear, we really love it.
