  • Dynamic contrast (50,000:1)
    Dynamic contrast involves real-time image processing that results in deep blacks in darker scenes, as well as fine details in shadows and other dark areas of the picture for a difference you can truly see
  • Motionflow™ 120Hz technology
    Motionflow™ 120Hz technology doubles the frame rate to help remove judder in film sources, HD content, and broadcast movies and primetime programming, creating smoother, more fluid motion that delivers a natural and realistic viewing experience

  • HD input x 7

Four HDMI™ inputs (up to 1080/60p capable)1 let you connect a Sony® PLAYSTATION®3 entertainment system, Blu-ray Disc™ player, or any other HDMI-capable equipment and get uncompressed digital video and multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. An HD component input and an HD combo input (1080/60i capable) provide added HD-capable connectivity, and a PC input (HD-15 pin) offers the added versatility of using your HDTV as a computer monitor
  • USB with photos and music
    Connect your camera, USB-enabled MP3 player, or USB storage device directly to your HDTV's USB input to view photos on the big screen or listen to your favorite MP3’s
  • BRAVIA® Link compatibility

  • ENERGY STAR® 3.0 certified
    Sony® V-series HDTVs exceed Energy Star 3.0 requirements by incorporating advanced power saving features such as Light Sensor® technology that adjusts backlight intensity based on ambient room lighting conditions and Dynamic Backlight Control that adjusts backlight intensity based on the brightness of the image on the screen
  • 24p True Cinema™
    24p True Cinema mode 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
  • VESA® compatible hole spacing
    VESA-compatible hole spacing uses an industry-standard mounting hole pattern that can be used with VESA-compliant mounting brackets, taking the guesswork out of selecting the proper hardware for hanging your TV on the wall

BOTTOM LINE No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Only one of HDMI input works. TV struggles to find HDMI connection to blue ray player. Ambient light sensor is bad - picture darkens and returns to bright with static room lighting. Repair/replacement call has been made. 2nd round of service...

BOTTOM LINE No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
We have already had this tv replaced once because it kept getting darker and lighter. In addition the sound is awful- even on our replacement set we often turn the tv on and have no volume and have to turn the tv on and off multiple times to get sound....the tv needs to be kept on a very high volume to get any sound at all.
Pros: Fast Setup
Cons: Poor Image Quality, Poor Sound Quality

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Great TV -- Mounted TV on the wall by myself within an hour after it was delivered. Connections are easy. The only issues so far are the very simplistic remote control and lack of PIP. I knew about the PIP when I bought it. Good color and depth with HDTV and DVDs.

Great TV -- Easy Installation
Reviewed by Simpleton (Casual User) from Fredericksburg, Virginia on Jan 18, 2010
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Great TV -- ABT offered lowest price, lower than local brick and mortar TV shops and the warehouse clubs[...]. Box was easy to move -- I moved the TV upstairs by myself and put it on the wall mount alone in about an hour. TV is extremely easy to set-up. Colors are vibrant and is viewable from all angles in the room. The only shortcoming that I could find was that the TV does not have Pincture in a Picture, but I kinda knew that when I bought it. GREAT TV for the price.
Pros: Good Resolution, Attractive Design, Good Remote Control, Fast Setup

Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Great for watching the games; I feel like I'm sitting courtside as a result of the picture quality. This is especially true with HD channels. The one drawback is that sometimes I get a glare on the screen from the windows in the room across from the tv. But this does not take away from what is truly a well-made product.
Cons: Glare
Pros: Great Sound Quality, Fast Setup, Good Connection Options, Great Picture Quality, Good Resolution
