Sony BRAVIA V-Series KDL-52V5100 52-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV user reviews

    "I just hooked it up yesterday, to replace my 50" Samsung DLP that broke. I had a 32" Vizio in its place for the past month, waiting for this model. Overall, I am very pleased with the set. As usual, the HD channels look spectacular and the interface is tremendously better than that of the Vizio's. It is hooked up to a HD DVR cable box, but configuration was a breeze. The non-HD channels definitely take a huge hit, as they look pretty bad on this size screen. In reality I wish I could have just gotten a 50" since the 2" additional makes a big difference in the overall size, but I am still pleased with the TV and glad I waited for this model to get the improved contrast ratio and 120 refresh rate.

    "Got this TV today....... had to talk to SOny about set up because my electronicaly challenged husband connected it wrong!!! Sony was soooo very helpful and may have prevented a divorce (lol)!! Nothing bad can be said about this TV.... price was amazing (under $1600) and the quality of the picture in HD was truly amazing!! The screen barely has glare.... which is the main reason I went with sony versus Samsung... setup had my husband done it right seemed really easy... I agree with the other review that says the quality of the picture takes a hit if it is not viewed in HD but overall SONY ROCKS!! DO NOT hesitate to buy this product!! "

    "The hd quality is the best i have seen on any tv the standard def takes a good hit.It has issues with hdmi color space auto adjustments from xbox360.Be sure that if you hook a 360 up to it that its set to rgb in the hdmi color space on the 360 settings if you plan on displaying in 1080p.For movies ycbr is best and for games rgb is best.So you can manually switch between the two if you using the 360 for both movies and games.

Theres no real glare at all the picture quality is top notch after the right adjustments and the only bad thing is the hdmi color space issue that can be fixed most likely with a firmware update. "

    "I bought this with a PS3 (because it's a blu-ray player) and haven't looked back. It was super easy to set up with HDMI and optical audio cables and I am constantly blown away by the picture. The blacks are especially dark and I had heard that this might be a problem with LCD TV's. The in TV speakers are fine, not tinny, although I elected to disable them and run the sound through my receiver for surround sound. I really can't fault the TV in any way. Just try and get the best price you can! "

    "Set delivered as promised, but not turned on and checked electronically (blue screen). Pilot Air guys said set needed to acclimate to new temperature and humidity for 4 hours. Component video hookup to Comcast did not work. Component video hookup to Blueray was also problematic. All problems went away with HDMI hookups. The set may have been preconfigured for HDMI and could not sense the Component - not convinced there is a problem. The set is great. The Color was dead-on right out of the box - better than store displays. The on-screen menus were straight forward. The set would do annoying clicking noises, when resizing, going between HD channels and regular channels. Fixed this by reprogramming the HD box from Comcast. I think I'm spoiled now. "
