  • Dynamic contrast (30,000:1)

  • HD Component x 2 (1080/60i capable)

  • 24p True Cinema™
    24p True Cinema support provides a direct connection to 24p video sources, avoiding conversions and allowing users to enjoy films at their intended 24 fps (frames per second) cinematic picture quality when using a 24p-capable output device, such as a Blu-ray Disc™ player or Sony® PLAYSTATION®3 entertainment system
  • Favorites Menu
    The Favorites Menu function makes it easy to quickly access your favorite channels and video inputs
  • Energy Star® 3.0 Certified

Great product!!
Reviewed by Obie (Casual User) from Florida on Feb 15, 2010
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I own 3 52" TV's - 2 are Samsung and this Sony. This Sony beats my Samsungs in terms of picture quality hands down!! As with all the larger TV's, they put dime-store speakers in a Tiffany container - they all need to upgrade their sound quality (but it still is acceptable) to match their picture quality.
Pros: Fast Setup, Good Connection Options, Great Sound Quality, Reduced Glare, Good Resolution, Great Picture Quality, Attractive Design, Good Remote Control

Sony Bravia is awesome!
Reviewed by sammyb (Power User) from arkansas on Jan 05, 2010
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I purchased this tv hear at abt.com and my family and I love it! When we purchased it, it was a little more expensive, but still [$] cheaper than our local store. Along with not paying any sales tax, [...], we saved almost $300 dollars!!This TV is lightweight for the most part, but wide, so you will need someone to help you mount it on the wall. Setup was easy because it was already setup according to sony standards, which look great! This tv is great for the price, I do not plan on ever buying a new one until this one goes out. Which by the way, I do not see that happening very soon, I have an old sony trinitron TV that is at least 8-9 years old, and is doing great, I love sony products!
Pros: Good Remote Control, Good Connection Options, Great Picture Quality, Good Resolution, Fast Setup, Attractive Design, Great Sound Quality, Reduced Glare
