BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Set up was brain dead simple with a very good schematic showing different options for different types of attachments/VCRs etc. Picture quality is excellent as is the remote control. Sound is very average but as it is hooked up to my Bose System I can, if I want, get the full bodied audio to suit the program being watched.Overall a great TV set.

Unlike Sony, the screws to put the stand together were never included in the packaging. Had to call [@] to resolve that ~ still waiting on result. We use our ATT UVerse remote instead of the Sony supplied remote.Otherwise for the $$$, this is an excellent buy.

Fantastic
Reviewed by Critical Purchaser (Enthusiast) from Chicago area on Feb 17, 2010
Verified Reviewer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Just purchased this on 2/16/10. Setup was super easy - chose the vivid picture setting and adjusted it slightly. I am using an HDMI cable from my Comcast HD cable box. I cannot believe how good this TV is for the price. It is my first HD TV and I'm glad I waited. I was thinking about the 46" but now that I have the 40" it is plenty big in my living room. I also don't notice any issues with it being 60hz, even watching sports. The sound is very good as well. The fact that you can get a Sony of this quality and size for under $700 is almost un real.
Pros: Great Picture Quality, Attractive Design, Good Connection Options, Fast Setup, Great Sound Quality, Good Resolution, Reduced Glare, Good Remote Control
