Is this really a Sony product? I’ve had some excellent TVs over the years from Sony, including a 42″ LCD that I purchased in 2008 with great results. However, this set has had issues from the beginning that were not resolved by the patch and numerous calls to Sony’s tech help service. The problem with the auto dimming feature only bothers me some of the time but what is perhaps the most irritating is the terrible internal speakers with this unit. It really gets mushy sound performace and I will eventually have to connect it to an outside receiver to get past this issue. After the patch did nothing to correct the problems I had this in a Sony repair facility for two weeks to replace parts and make things right with the picture and the sound. Upon return, it was simply more of the same. I’ve noticed that Amazon is no longer selling this model. Maybe they’ve recognized the issues. For those that are getting good performance, you’re the lucky ones. This will be the last time that I buy a TV on reputation alone, sight unseen. I really wonder if the apparent lack of quality in this model comes from Sony simply slapping their label on some low-end manufactuers work?

The TV doesn’t work period. It was nice the first 6 days, now it turns on and we only see the Bravia Logo.
I called Sony support, they are sending me a new TV, lets’s hope the other one last longer.

This t.v. seemed to have everything I wanted in a flat screen and the picture quality is very good, but watching dvd’s becomes nearly impossible with the auto-dimming feature that can’t be disabled.
I’ve called Sony and they’re supposedly sending me the software update to correct this. If the update doesn’t work I’ll be returning the t.v. and getting something else.
