            Comments about Sony 46" BRAVIA EX523 Series Black LED LCD Flat Panel HDTV:

            Great tv for the price. Used as 2nd tv in master bedroom. Wall mount is easy because it weighs only 30 lbs. Very nice HD picture, decent sound, and easy remote control. The built in wi-fi is very cool because we can stream Netflix direct to the bedroom. Only complaint so far is that it makes a fairly loud "bling" sound when you turn it on. So far I cannot find where I can turn off this feature. Otherwise it is money well spent.

            Service and delivery comments:

            Ordering and delivery was smooth and fast. Definately would buy from this store again.

                I needed a flat screen TV large enough for a new media center that I purchased. I looked at other brands for comparison, but nothing beats Sony for picture quality. And, ABT prices are the best. The set-up was easy and I accomplished it by myself.
