Great HDTV! Amazing Picture Quality. SONY does it Again.
By paper tiger
*** Before reading this review understand that watching a movie on a new TV right out of the box will not provide the best picture. I spent hours and hours perfecting the settings and features of this 3D HDTV before I even tried to watch something. This Sony 3D HDTV has a huge amount of options and when set just right, you will not believe your eyes.Pros:+ Amazing Picture Quality. Clean crisp images with amazing depth.+ Netflix, Amazon and other streaming programs launch and run easily.+ The Sony menu system while watching is great. Change options and features as you watch.+ Very beautiful TV. It is a work of art and even while off I can't stop looking at it.+ Built in WiFi+ Built in 3D TransmitterCons:- Sound is not the best. The speakers are mounted in the lower bottom of the set which is nice because they are hidden, however this greatly hinders the audio quality. This is not an issue to me though as I have never used a TV's built in speakers to watch a flick.- The TV itself is a little wobbly. The stand is quite simple and seems almost too light to hold the TV up. But this goes with the simple clean look of the new Sony HDTV's. I ended up mounting my TV to the wall and I think it looks great up there.- Not really much of a physical manual. It is actually on the TV in the menu. "i-Manual".I purchased the Sony KDL55HX729 55" Class Widescreen 3D LED HDTV over the Sony BRAVIA EX 500 Series 55-Inch LCD TV, Black due to the built in WiFi and the built in 3D glasses transmitter. They are not too expensive purchase separately, however the less extra junk I have sitting around the better. I like that everything is built in and it was well worth the extra money.This is a great Sony 3D HDTV. I have seen Samsung 3D and Panasonic 3D and I would say this is just as good, if not better. I watched Resident Evil: Afterlife [Blu-ray 3D]in 3D the night I got it and I was blown away. But I honestly didn't buy this TV for the 3D. I was simply looking forward to an upgrade from my 6 year old 52" SONY HDTV, which was great, however so much new technology has been released.My old Sony HDTV had a large frame with speakers in the front and a "glass" frame around it. It took up about 4 1/2 inches of space on each side, which was pretty, but very unnecessary. The KDL-55HX729 has a very simply clean design with hardly any frame and the speakers are hidden one the bottom/back. The screen is quite reflective, however this is not an issue while viewing. It simply makes it clearer while it is on and a little nicer to look at while it's off.One of the first things I watch was Life (narrated by David Attenborough) [Blu-ray]on Blu-ray. LIFE is an HD nature documentary type program. Watching this blew me away, especially while watching the close-ups of the little bugs and reptiles. The color and depth felt incredibly realistic and very true to how nature intended.One gripe I had as compared to my old LCD TV (non LED) is the LED lighting on this TV is much more noticeable. When the screen is black, I can see some very minor spotlighting or flash-lighting or whatever you want to call it. This is where the LED light is. Also when the screen has a large white moving object on it I can see thin hazy dark lines that I believe is the frame-work that holds rows of lights behind the screen. I noticed this while watching LIFE and there was an above shot of an iceberg and then the camera moved upward. While the camera was still I really couldn't see these lines in the screen, however when the camera shifted upward it was noticeable. So when the screen is still and white you really can't see the lines. However they popped out to me when there was large white movement with darker backgrounds surrounding it. This could just be me nitpicking, however I thought it was worth mentioning. It is nothing worth returning the TV over.Another small gripe is the sturdiness of the stand that upon this beautiful expensive TV sits. The TV pivots and turns, which is nice, however I think they would have been better off taking the flexibility away and simply making a strong sturdy stand. I would say mounting this TV to a strong wall or an equipped TV stand may be a better option if you are worried. But this TV is about 6 inches thinner than my last TV. I think I may just not be used to something so much smaller and less bulky.The Sony Xcross menu system is great as always. Internet programs and Netflix are great and fast. The movement of the menus, programs and simply turning on and off is very smooth and simple. The options are great. There are a few new options that I had to mess around with and test out, however the basic brightness and contrast are the same settings I had on my old Sony HDTV. There is a slight learning curve with an LED HDTV. The light is slightly different, and as a rule for me with TV's, I always lower the backlighting and up the brightness. Keeping the backlight down will increase the life of the TV, plus a backlight set too high will give washed out images. Simply up the brightness if you feel it is too dark.Due to the amazingly realistic picture quality I can over look some of the smaller issues with this TV. It is the closest to perfect I have ever seen. The design, PQ and features make this a piece of beautiful artwork that I am proud to display in my home. I highly recommend this series of Sony 3D HDTV's and look forward to this baby for years and years. Also I purchased a 4-year warrantee from SquareTrade for under $250. Well worth it for piece of mind.*** Update ***I have now owned this Sony HDTV for over a year now and I have run into some very minor slight issues. One issue was a dead pixel after 6-8 months of ownership, which does happen no matter who makes your HDTV. However Sony was great and came and replaced the panel right away. Another issue was that the TV would simply restart (turn off, then back on) from time to time. Again, it was very minor and it was only a few times. Sony troubleshoot'ed some common issue with me, I reset to factory defaults with no change, and then they came a replaced one of the small boards in the TV. This fixed the issue and I have not had any issues since. I still love this TV and highly recommend it.

underrated
By Kevin K
**Before you read this review please know I had no chance to test the 3D! It was of little importance to me, and I didn't have glasses :( **I was able to borrow 5 different 2011 LED televisions to do a comparison in home. So this will be a review/comparison of the Sony and other sets. Among the contenders was this Sony HX729, Sony NX720, Samsung D6400, LG LW5600 and Sharp LE835u. Whew! (i know) After days of testing, tweaking, watching, my top pick was this Sony HX729. A *very* close runner up was the Sony NX720 or Samsung.. but they just didn't have the black levels or response time to match the Sony.Highlights of this TV:Deep black levels (for LCD/LED)Fast pixel responseGreat motion handlingAlmost zero ghostinglow input lag (for gaming)Lowlights:speakers are pretty badContrast AND Brightness diminishes quickly when moving off-angle. (LG was AWFUL in *dark* scenes when moving off angle.. had severe black washout.)Needs more fine-tune color calibration controls.Clouding (they ALL had some degree of clouding, more or less)Sony remote is just strangeThe clouding issue was pretty mild on both Sonys. (the Sharp was TERRIBLE).. but your milage may vary.If you plan to watch this TV from all different spots in a large room, you may want to steer clear due to viewing angle losses. I sit on my couch directly in front of the set 99% so its not a big factor for me.The Sony NX720 gets a lot of buzz on CNET and other sites, but I can assure you the HX729 set a better set. The only thing the NX720 has over the HX729 is the "monolithic design" and slim/hidden connectors in the rear. Please know the HX729 has antenna and component connectors facing directly rearward, making a flush wall-hang very difficult! The Sony NX720 and Samsung are hidden/flush. If you don't plan to hang your TV, its a non-issue.

Awesome
By M. Haider
WHY THIS MODEL:I bought this TV through Amazon last week and it arrived a few days ago. I've had a good amount of time to play with all its capabilities. The out of the box settings are not that good, so the settings do need some adjustment. This TV is an unbelievable deal coming from SONY as it has the EXACT same specifications as the more expensive HX820. The only difference is that the HX820 has monolithic gorilla glass design. I've compared this TV with both the EX720 and the HX820 and this TV delivers a picture almost identical to the HX820 for a much cheaper price than the HX820. The original listing price for the 46HX820 is $2,600 while my 46HX729 was originally listed for $1,900. Trust me, $700 more just for just the monolithic gorilla glass on the HX729 is not worth it. Don't by into the opti-contrast gimmick that Sony says monolithic gorilla glass provides, the HX729 creates black as black as the black frame. I was originally looking to buy the EX720, but after finding out that the panel frequency on that model is actually only 120hz, I settled on this model which is the cheapest SONY 3D TV with 240hz panel frequency. (The EX720 is motion-flow 240, however its actually frequency is only 120hz.) Specification wise, this TV is much better than the EX720 in multiple categories such that the Hz is twice as fast, it has X-reality PRO*(2 processing chips instead of 1), dynamic LED, local dimming, etc. It also the cheapest model to have wifi and the 3d transmitter built it. Surprisingly, it has a glossy display. I thought that this display was the same as the EX720 which is semi-matte but this TV definitely looks more glossy than semi-matte (That's a plus to me because matte can distort the sharpness a little bit) As far as LCD TV's I couldn't find any other LCD with 240hz panel frequency for this price that looked this good. I would say that this is the best quality/price ratio you will find.2D PICTURE:The 2d non-HD picture is actually pretty good on this TV. The problem with buying decently sized HD televisions is that they seem to stretch out and distort an SD(standard definition) signal. Surprisingly, the X-Reality Pro engine does a nice job tuning up an SD input. Of course, it doesn't make the picture look HD but makes it look better than many other HD TVs will make the SD picture look. As far as HD picture, my girlfriend and I cannot stop saying how incredible and real the picture looks. So far, I have tested BBC's Life series on here in 1080p and he scenes look unbelievably crystal clear with the most vivid colors on a TV I have ever seen. It literally gives a 3D effect without 3D. It looks so clear that it seems like we are actually there watching something through our binoculars. There is absolutely no ghosting effect or distortion whatsoever. The only bad thing I can say is that the picture is so clear that you can sometimes tell when the filmer did not have the camera completely in focus. As far as the motion flow 480, I watched one of the NBA finals game last night and there is no jitter, it is completely smooth. The only downside to using 480 Motionflow is that the back-light is dimmed. I find using the 240hz panel frequency know as the "clear" setting as opposed to "clear pro" setting is the best. I also was able to test out streaming HD content through Netflix. Although the picture was not as good as it was through the blu-ray player it was still pretty clear. But trust me, content through the blu-ray player doesn't even look like you're looking at a TV. The last thing I really like about this TV is how many settings there are for the picture, there must be at least 50 different settings categorized into about 15 groups. As far as the things I don't like(but don't really care about), is that I notice a very tiny amount of light on the bottom corners of the screen when the screen is black. When I say tiny amount I mean about a cm^2 of noticeably brighter back-light. It's no big deal though as when watching Life I only saw it every 2 hours or so for a split second. The other thing I didn't don't like is that the back light is a litter bit dim without adjustment. I turned up the white levels and turned on some setting when I got it and it looks fine now.3D PICTURE:After ordering a defective pair of glasses and replacing them, I finally got a chance to test out the 3d. Even the simulated 3d is amazing. The simulated (2d to 3d conversion) doesn't pop out at you dramatically, but it adds so much depth to the picture. It looks as if you where looking into a window and watching what was going on inside. The real 3d content is identical to the experience you would have in a theater. The 480hz motion flow and the panel frequency of 240hz makes the 3d nearly flawless. Very rarely you will see a double image but that can be fixed by turning down the glasses brightness setting.GAMING:I used to play video games a lot when I was younger but slowly stopped playing as I got older. Nonetheless, when I got this TV i decided to whip out the xbox. Ever since, I've been playing a few hours a week. This TV is amazing for gaming. It has a game mode that you can put it on, by doing so you can select if you want quality or speed. The speed setting greatly reduces input lag to a point where it seems like there is none. The quality setting helps with motion blur.Content:This TV is loaded with content. Amazon and Netflix have content in HD. The only downside is that this TV does not have VUDU. However, you can always buy a blu-ray player that comes with Vudu.Design:I was having second thoughts after I had ordered this 46 inch TV. I was honestly thinking 46 inches would be too small. However, I found out that a 46 inch TV looks remarkably smaller in a store than it will in your home. While unpacking this TV I thought they had sent me the 55inch TV by accident. This 46inch TV in you're home will look like a 55inch TV looks in a store. Unless you're watching your TV from 20 feet away, you really don't need a 55 inch TV. A 55 inch TV will look tacky and overpowering if you don't have the room. I also really like the thinness and small frame size, it's very compact. The screen finish is very nice as well. When I had ordered this TV I was having second thought about getting a semi-matte or matte screen since it can distort the sharpness of the picture. However, this TV didn't turn out to be matte or semi-matte at all. Maybe I don't know what semi-matte is, but I can definitely see clear undistorted reflections of my room and myself when the TV is off. This TV just looks expensive.Sound:The sound is not the best. It's not bad but it's just average. You can hear everything very clearly with no distortion, however, it won't provide the sound dimensions that external speakers will.Overall:As I stated, this TV is the best quality/price LCD you will probably find. It is the cheapest Sony TV that provides the panel frequency of 240Hz and X-Reality Pro engine that the flagship HX929 provides. It is also the exact same spec-wise as the HX820 but for a price closer to the lower end models; NX, EX, etc. Disregarding the great specifications, this TV will bring an amazingly real picture to your living room.

Sony Bravia KDL-32EX720
By Ninjawithagun
I recently purchased the Sony Bravia EX720 from a local electronics store (and not Amazon, since I prefer to make large electronic purchases locally in the event I need to quickly return and exchange a defective item). Overall, the TV is good, but not great. Here is a quick down and dirty list of "in my opinion (IMO)" pros and cons:Pros:- High quality LED side-lit LCD screen- True 1080P 3D and Hi-definition capable, but with some limitations- Colors and contrast are vibrant, once you take the time to manually adjust the picture settings- Built-in 3D transmitter; no need to buy the external transmitter which saves you about $35- 3D effects are very good overall, but best results can only be attained by watching 3D Blu Ray movies- Artifical 3D option in the 3D options works decently and provides an alternative to playing PC games in 3D without having to use the NVidia 3D Vision or 3DTV Play drivers; this allows you to maintain up to 60fps frame rates without have to revert to a 24hz (24fps) refresh rate- No 3D ghosting evident, but you may need to make manual adjustments to the depth effect - I needed to do this- 4 x HDMI 1.4 ports- Internet capable right out of the box- Swivel and 6 degree backward tilt adjustable- Directly compatible with the Sony PS3 (shouldn't be a surprise since it is a Sony TV)- TV firmware can be updated, but does require internet connectivity- Weight of TV is 25lbs - very light and easy to move or mount on wall without worry of mounting screws tearing out of the studs in the wall!- Shortcut keys on the Remote are very convenient and will save you time from having to dig down into the sub-menus everytime just to make adjustments to certain functionsCons:- NOT a 240hz 3D TV; Sony.com website lists the specifications for this model as "120hz" refresh rate (AMAZON NEEDS TO FIX THE LISTED DESCRIPTION FOR THIS TV NOW!)- Had to contact Sony customer support directly to verify which Sony 3D glasses model is compatible with the KDL-32EX720; their website did not provide this information; confirmed with the tech rep that the TDGBR100/B version is compatible with the KDL-32EX720; important to note the "B" Think of it as the "B" represents "Bravia" :)- 3D viewing @ 1080P limited to only 24hz and 30hz?? 24hz = 24fps & 30hz = 30fps That's not a problem for watching 3D Blu Ray movies (or watching converted 2D movies into 3D), but is not acceptable if you want to play computer games on this TV; part of the reason why I bought it- Takes a few hours to manually adjust the picture just the way you want it; you will need to go into the "Advanced Settings" to change things like White Balance, Black Level correction, Edge enhancement, etc.- Priced a bit high for not having 3D glasses included or a 240hz refresh rate; WARNING! The glasses cost $150 separately O.o- Power cord is hard-wired into the TV; would have preferred a universal power cord solution so that it could be replaced easily should it get damaged- Remote control is a bit clunky and large and does not provide universal remote functionality as it only allows for control of the TV; unlike other remotes that allow you to conrol several devices - a universal remote function would have been nice for me because I could have used the remote to control both the TV and my Sony PS3; not sure why Sony would not allow for this other than to make more money from their customers...no way! lolBOTTOMLINE:Depending on your intentions of what the primary use of this TV is/are will ultimately determine your final decision to buy it or not. If you plan to watch regular and 3D Blu Ray movies and like the convenience of the integrated internet functionality, then this TV is a good choice, albeit a bit expensive when considering you have to pay $150 more for the 3D glasses. The picture quality when watching Blu Ray movies is excellent and there are lots of options to configure the picture appearance according to your specific tastes/preferences. Think of it as adjusting the driver's seat on a brand new car that you are thinking of buying. You really don't know exactly the right settings until you have had it for a while, but when you do figure it out, the ride was well worth the wait.I would NOT recommend you buy this TV if you plan to do serious 3D computer gaming on it. I highly recommend you wait for the new 27" and larger "true" 120hz 3D monitors coming out later this year. Because of the limitations of the frame rates when using 3D mode on this TV, I've decided to keep my Alienware OptX AW2310 3D computer monitor so that I can get the best 3D experience while PC gaming.To those who are a bit more serious about there hardware and do not want to compromise, I would highly recommend you wait to buy the 240hz or 480hz version of this TV (not yet released) and maybe even wait for HDMI 1.5 which is rumored to support 3D (stereo) 1080P @ 60hz :)Overall, the Sony Bravia KDL-32EX720 is a very good, but not great 3D TV that seems to be the "Jack of All", but the "Master of None".

Review from a not-really-super-techy guy
By abe
*UPDATE* May 19, 2011I've had this TV for over a month now, and just wanted to provide an update:Picture: CUSTOM SETTINGS! Out-of-the-box, the picture isn't the best quality. There is some graininess, a noticeable soap opera effect and some blockiness with moving pictures. EVERY owner should calibrate the settings to their liking. Also, it's very important to turn off the ECO sensor -- your TV will be much, much brighter. I followed the custom settings on flatpanelshd.com, where the reviewer tweaked the settings for best picture output, down to advanced settings like B-Gain and R-Gain. From there I messed around with the other settings until I found a picture I'm very happy with.Comparison: Two of my friends bought a 55-inch LG LW5600 and I've spent a good time watching their TVs. The LG uses passive 3D so the glasses are super cheap and comfortable -- I hate to say it, but the 3D on that TV probably looks better overall. They also brag about an 8 million to 1 contrast ratio whereas the Sony EX720 is 2 million to 1. What that means is the LG has a brighter range of vivid colors. BUT after tweaking my settings, I was able to get comparable color results AND the picture on the Sony is noticeably clearer -- you couldn't get a soap opera effect on the LG if you tried. The MotionFlow 240 actually seems to make a difference as I can see wrinkles on The Most Interesting Man in the World's face that I couldn't see on the LG. Plus the LG had a lot of choppiness when watching sports, it might have been the cable or the TV's 120hz processor.Still a five-star rating for a clearer picture than the LG and enhanced picture with tweaked settings. Original review below.*From April*Picture: Very good. Granted I was watching a 37-inch LCD that was almost six years old, so even watching a crayon drawing on wax paper would be an upgrade. But I watched ESPN HD, Avatar HD in HBO and a bunch of other random things. There was no noticeable clouding (blobs of light on the screen) at all. I was pleasantly surprised that there really wasn't a soap opera effect on the movies and shows I watched.More Picture: It's true that this isn't a "true" 240hz TV. It's marketed as a MotionFlow 240hz, which basically means that it's 120hz but has some sort of technology that Sony made up to "bring the frame rate up to 240hz." That being said, I probably wouldn't be able to notice the difference between 120 and 240hz anyway. I do wish the picture was a little bit brighter, but it's super easy to adjust the settings. Also, the black levels weren't as black as I'd like. When watching a show with a lot of black screen, it still looks a little gray compared to the black frame lining the TV.Sound: GREAT. You know how sometimes you're watching a DVD or a TV show and the music and background noises are super loud and the voices and dialogue are super quiet, and then you have to turn up the volume to hear the dialogue, but then quickly turn it back down because some booming music scares the crap out of you? Not so with this TV. Apparently it's got some technology that detects dialog and will automatically soften the background sound and amplify the voices. Plus, when you change the sound setting to "S-Force Front Surround," there really is a noticeable difference in the quality, the sound does seem to echo more under this setting.3D: Suh-weeeeet! Ok, there are definite cross-talk issues -- which is a term I learned by reading a bunch of reviews. You will see double images at certain points, but EVERY TV review I read suffers from this issue because it's a new technology. My DirecTV offered four 3D channels, one was a nature show channel that rotates shows about dinosaurs, ocean life, and space stuff. I spent four hours straight watching this channel and now know a bunch of random facts about dinosaurs, ocean life and space stuff. I invited three people over and the four of us watched this channel for hours. There were parts of the ocean documentary where schools of fish looked like they were a few feet out of the screen. And a freaking Brontosaurus totally peered into my living room -- I wanted to pet him. Even on large landscape pans, the depth perception was amazing.Remote: Effin' BRILLIANT. I don't know why, but instantaneous response from the remote made me pretty damn happy. I had Time Warner Cable TV before, and it would do some crap where you'd be pressing the remote buttons and nothing would happen, and then like 15 seconds later everything you pushed would happen at once. DirecTV is better but would still lag sometimes. But this TV and it's default remote are like sweet lovers that orgasm at the same time. There is no lag time and the interface screen is ridiculously simple to use and navigate -- even for not-really-super-techy-guys.Interface and Settings: Awesome. Navigating the settings is intuitive and simple -- it looks a lot like the PS3 interface. Everything's is laid out in Layman's terms and spelled out so clearly that even A GIRL would have no problems using it. There's even little features like naming the different display inputs AND ADDING AN ICON TO THEM?? So now when I change Display modes between DVD, DirecTV and Xbox, it very coolly displays those titles on the screen, AND HAS THE ICON I PICKED NEXT TO THEM! W00T! And changing the settings is cake. You can go directly into many of the main settings (like display, sound, etc) directly from the show you're watching instead of going into the menu.Wireless and Internet Apps: This does NOT come in with built-in WiFi, but I plugged it directly into my router with a network cable. Done dada. I was getting good connection speeds with Youtube, Qriocity and Hulu. My only complaint is that it probably takes a little getting used to spell anything out -- kind of a weird alphanumeric style that you'd get when you spell something out using a numeric phone keypad.

Decent 2d TV neither best or worse 120hz option for 3DHDTV
By Jonathan M Osment
UPDATE 3/30/2011: Amazon has removed the 240hz tag from the product title but not the "whats in the box" section. As this 120hz product is no longer being incorrectly advertised as 240hz, I am re-adjusting the rating.WARNING: Possible Deal breaker concerning this TV.NOTICE: As of 3/24/2011, I noticed via the Sony Style website that they state the EX720 is now only 120hz, not this advertised 240hz. I hope this is a typo on Sony's end but if it is not, there is a serious case of false advertisement going on. I was specifically on the market to purchase a 240hz HDTV, as the price tag warrants it, and thus this may change the satisfaction level of this review. Before you purchase this product, make sure you know there may be a case of false information taking place regarding the refresh rate.Update: It is confirmed that the this HDTV is NOT 240hz as advertised. It is only 120hz. The rating has been adjusted purely because it is false marketing and reveals little improvement over previous models which cost much less. One of the main reasons to get a 240hz HDTV for 3D is that you get 120hz per eye as the image flickers back and forth. If the refresh rate of the TV itself is only 120hz, this means you are only getting the 60hz experience when watching 3D. 60hz is what we are trying to get away from.There is absolutely no excuse for false advertising, higher costs for features not present. If you are looking to get a 3D TV, make sure it is absolutely 240hz or else you are just wasting your money. If you want a TV but dont plan on using the 3D features, then this unit is ok but there are cheaper and better alternatives in that case.***Updated - Old Review:The Sony Bravia 40EX720 is a decent 3D HDTV.I was originally on the market for a HDTV in which to use as a computer monitor/gaming screen and after Sony revealed its 2011 lineup at CES 2011, I knew I had to get one.The first thing I can tell you is that this TV is solid. I felt quite satisfied with the build quality (a bit of cheap plastic on the back, but I have yet to find a LED LCD HDTV that didnt have that feeling). Unlike the previous EX series HDTVs, the bevel on the bottom which looks grey in some pictures is actually a dark black. This was actually a downer for me as I kind of liked the grey strip on the bottom as seen in some EX7xx pictures. I love the menu system, it is a modified version of the 2010 menu system. The 2010 line of Bravia HDTVs made use of the Playstation 3 and PSP menu system to the point where they were practically identical. The EX720, and by my guess all the 2011 models, opted out of the PS3/PSP menu design in favor of a more streamlined version. It grows on you and generally I find it much more visually appealing and easy to navigate.The remote is perhaps the best thing this tv has going for it. It has some handy buttons that work better than one would expect. The 3D button on the remote turns the tv into stereoscopic 3D mode, one more press and it turns it off. You can watch anything in 3D as the Bravia will emulate the 3D effect for non-3D content. Other remote buttons include a quick netflix toggle, internet video, Qriocity as well as a very handy HOME button.The internet video works like a charm as well. I managed to watch youtube videos straight from the TV as well as browse online music libraries, though it was a tad sluggish (High Speed Cable).Plugging in a USB drive with some short films on it worked as well. The TV will recognize the USB device and then you can go ahead and access what you wish to watch or listen to from it. There is no demo built into the tv for video, but there is one music track and a few pictures automatically installed on the TV.No dead pixels. Lighting is even across the entire screen. Great black levels. Semi-Glossy screen (the mix between a glossy and matte). Color a bit faded, low bright levels. Certain colors seem washed out, and even at the most vivid settings, the color is a bit lack luster. This may have to do with the back lighting being minimal.The EX720 may not be the best HDTV Sony has to offer for 2011, but for its features and capability... I would say its a competitor for sure.Note: The North American EX720 was assembled in Mexico and the current LCD panels are the same Samsung uses. This may or may not be a problem for some TV buyers.HDTV is NOT 240hz as advertised, but 120hz. In 3D, you will only get a 60hz experience (120hz divided by 2, 60hz per eye for stereoscopic).

You may want to know more than what the manual tells you...
By A Customer
I really like the TV. I like the way the picture looks, considering that I spent $1500, and not $5000. I've had my TV a few days, so I can't tell you how it holds up over time (I'll be back). This review is a "tell you what you may want to know from day one" as much as it is a review. I hope I can help prevent you from damaging your projection TV by telling things not mentioned in the manual.

An earlier review (different website) gave the TV one star out of five because he said after eight months he had side bars permanently burned into his screen, and he felt the manual's "don't use 4:3 mode more than 15% of the time" wasn't enough information. Keeping this in mind, I never use 4:3 with gray side bars (I can live with the "Just" stretch.)

The manual says nothing about a break in period (it didn't say "this TV has new technology and doesn't need a "break-in" either). I've read several internet articles that recommend special treatment the first 100 hours--have the contrast turned down. This TV doesn't list "contrast" but I'm assuming "picture" is the same thing. One said 250 hours (most said one hundred). Everyone said turn down the contrast (or in our case, I think `picture'). One said to turn down other things (well, you need some brightness, or else no light gets to the screen and that can't be a good break-in either J. Several articles on projection TVs said "Wow, after the breakin the picture became really great!" My second day I thought it was looking better than the first. One site said "don't just turn on your TV for 100 hours and say `I'm done!'", that the turning the TV on and turning it off (so that the components warm up, then cool down, etc.) was a part of the conditioning.

As delivered, the TV setting was on "vivid" which has the highest picture. I turned that all the way down. I hooked a computer LCD monitor up to my DVD player through an S-video, and ran component cables (red, green, blue) from the DVD player into the TV so I could compare the pictures. The TV seemed to error on too much red (people skin color), so I changed color temperature to cool, and there was too much color, so I turned down the tint. This gave people a more natural looking skin color. This isn't a criticism of this particular model--one website named three TV brands and said they all give you a TV with the contrast (or picture) turned high and probably too much red. For comic relief, one guy mentioned that the stores put the most expensive TV's in a category on "vivid" so they look better than the less expensive TVs.

One site said that the large the projection TV, the more likelihood of problems like burn in . I'm paranoid about the TV logos in the lower right corner if the logo is solid white (I sent ABC an email pleading with them to change to something half transparent so the colors underneath come through.) News channels with a running ticker at the bottom of the screen-never!

Right now while I'm breaking the TV, I'm not playing any cartoons. My understanding of the break in is to run the circuitry without a heavy load on the lamps (like driving your new car 50 miles an hour on the highway). To me, the cartoons are very very colorful, equivalent to playing a normal movie on vivid. Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the break-in? I hope to find something about this on the internet.

Biggest complaint- I've already seen with two of my widescreen DVDs that they don't quite fill the screen from top to bottom (slight slivers of blackness at top and bottom) and none of the zoom modes will fix this. Those DVD's are now banned from the TV(I'll play them on my computer). One review site said the problem was that this TV only has four Zoom options, and other TVs have more. Maybe later I'll get a new DVD player that can send out a signal with various zooms and then I would just put the TV on standard aspect (no zooming) to accept it. Perhaps this is my biggest complaint against the TV, that the basic "zoom" can't make it zoom all the way in each direction. From reading the manual, I would have thought it would zoom completely.

TV gets 4 of 5 stars for excellent price to performance ratio. I wanted to give 5, but if all this stuff I found on the internet is true, then when I bought the TV, I could have read the manual, turned it on, and misused/abused it during the first few weeks of use. I don't know how much new lamps cost, or what I would pay for the labor. The guy with the problem of the burned in side bars said that one would cost $500 total (parts and labor).

Gorgeous image
By E. Cove
Since I just got this, I can't comment on its reliability, but mine looks and works great. First off, the PT-53WX53 seems to be pretty lightweight - relatively speaking - compared to other 53" HDTV's. The image was pretty good right out of the box. It has some brightness presets, and mine was set to "Vivid" which is probably too bright for most situations. I changed that, and also brought down the color saturation. Once I did all this, the image looked very good. All I have right now is analog cable, which looks grainy on many channels. But DVD's are crystal-clear: sharp, gorgeous color and contrast. I did a little homework, and a couple of other RPTV brands (Hitachi and Mitsubishi) consistently came up as having superior images, but I think the differences are negligible - only hardcore videophiles could have a problem with the PT-53WX53's image. I highly recommend this television.

Added: I've since upgraded to digital cable with HD. The regular digital cable images are fine. But HD on this set is fantastic! Crystal-clear, great definition and color. I'm very satisfied with this set.

Big Clear Picture--Small(ish) Price
By A Customer
I've had my Panasonic PT-53WX53 for about two weeks. The unit's picture quality is excellent, and the sound is decent even using only the built-in speakers. For optimum picture quality, you'll likely need some set-up. Fortunately, the cable guy who installed my HD box loves his work, and spent about 30-45 minutes tinkering with various controls. When he was done, I was left with a sparkling, amazingly clear picture. The one drawback: once you've seen HD, you can't go back.

This unit is an excellent value. Why spend several times more for a plasma, unless you *really* need that extra 21 inches of space (this unit is about 25 inches deep, versus 4 or so for a plasma).

I can't vouch for the refurbished model, but I've had a new one for 6 months and love it so far
By Nathan Andersen
I bought one of these on sale new at a local store (for a bit less than the currently advertised price of this one) about 6 months ago, and have been loving it ever since. Obviously, this review is for the television itself, and I can't speak to whether the refurbished units are fine. Still, I hope that this review is helpful for those who are just thinking about whether this brand will work well for them. I've compared it with the other top brand televisions and, as far as I can tell, for the small family this is about as good as it gets (and certainly as good as it needs to be). I can't imagine why anyone would need a more expensive television, with more features than this one, unless they just need a bigger television for a bigger room.You can plug in hdmi, s-video, component video and audio, cable antennae; you can get signals from dvd and blu-ray players, game systems, camcorders, etc., and hook up surround sound devices for an excellent home movie experience. It's easy to switch between devices using the remote provided (or a universal remote). We get cable, including several HD stations, and have an upconverting dvd player, and a Wii; occasionally I'll watch what I've recorded on my HD camcorder, through an hdmi cable.You can take off the stand to mount this on a wall. We have it sitting on top of a small and short but sturdy table, and it stands quite well and solidly.I've been very impressed by the quality of the video - especially with HD content at the full 1080p - and the sound by itself is quite satisfactory for our small living room. We chose Sanyo because several people had told us that they stand by their televisions, and create no problems with returning defective units. Luckily, we've had no problems whatsoever in 6 months, but I'm glad to know we'll be covered if we do have problems.

quite satisfied
By B. baysinger
we previously owned a polaroid 36 inch HD LCD 1080p that we paid $1000 for. it only lasted us 5 years, and in that time we had to have it serviced twice while it was still under warranty. this last time it just completely lost all power and we decidede to replace it rather than paying to fix it. this Sanyo was not our 1st choice but out of the 3 TV's we picked out at best buy, there were no local stores that had any of them in stock. getting frustrated, we went to Walmart and picked up this sanyo for under $500 ($536 total with tax and extended 3yr warranty).THE GOOD: compared to our Polaroid, this sanyo is a major upgrade in terms of picture quality! the picture is so bright, crisp and clear, we had no idea what poor quality the picture we got on our old set was, until we turned this one on. I really was amazed at the difference. it is also very light weight compared to our old model. I don't know if that's good or bad in terms of construction, but I'd feel much more inclined to wall mount this model, than i would with our old polaroid. it has 3 HDMI ports, 3 sets of video inputs (the red, yellow and white plugs), which is good, because it allows you to have several devices hooked up to the TV at one time, and I noticed when shopping around that there are very few models that offer that. if you buy a model that only has one set of video inputs you may have to buy a converter box if you want to have gaming systems, surround sound, or dvd players all hooked up at the same time. it also has a computer input, usb port, video and audio output, DVI input and antenna input. as far as other TV FEATURES: it has dynamic volume which helps maintain smoother volume levels (like when it goes to a comercial that is extremely loud), there is an eco button that has 3 settings so you can minimize or raise the amount of power the TV uses. another feature is pix shape, there are 7 settings you can choose from manually or you can choose auto select and the TV will automatically choose the correct setting based on the format of what you are watching. there is also a "help" button on the remote that will help you trouble shoot various topics, which I found really cool. the menu screen is fairly easy to use, and it has several short cut/ default settings you can choose if you have trouble manually settting your preferences. there is a handy closed caption button on the remote(rather than having to go into your settings menu). there are also other typical features such as channel recall and sleep button.THE BAD: the sound quality is not spectacular. we usually mute the TV and run the sound through a home theatere system, but if you don't have that option don't expect anything fantastic in terms of sound. If you do have home theatre, there is also no fiberoptic output on this model, but most tivo's and cable boxes have one, so it's not too big of an issue for most people. there is no option to show the time of day on the screen, which isn't a deal breaker but I still wish it had one. finally, the function buttons on the TV itself are not in the most convienient location. they are placed on the underside of the TV which makes it difficult to tell which button you are pushing. I don't understand why they didn't put them right on the front or on the side, as that would have been easier to see and use... but again not a deal breaker.all in all I think this is a great TV and we have been very Happy with it so far. I would have given it 5 stars if it weren't for the sub-par sound quality and the placement of functional buttons on the TV, but still an excellent choice for the price!A Few tips to consider before you buy a TV: 1. it's a bad idea to buy TV's off the internet. while there are many internet beusinesses that can stock various models of tv's, they may not be an actual "licenced dealer" which can make your warrenty null and void. if you are going to buy via internet, make sure you do so thru a national chain such as KMart, walmart or best buy. 2. TV's are not built to last 20 years like they used to be. the average LCD tv has a life of about 65,000 to 100,000 viewing hours. 3. NEVER buy a floor model!!!! think about it, if that tv was hanging on a wall for 6 months (which is the average) and was up and running 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, that adds up to alot of hours off the life of your TV 4. Plasma TV's are more prone to image burn and reflect even the smallest amount of light 5. a service repair man once told me that the brand they sevice the least is panasonic, the brand they sevice the most emmerson, so if a panasonic is in your price range, it may be one of your better bets in terms of minimal likelyhood to need repairs.

Nearly Perfect!! CES 2008 Award well earned.
By rwross
I was originally considering a Panny 800u, but that's not due out til early fall and after reading about the CES award LG took and its stunning design elements, I decided to include it on my list.My final decision came yesterday when a local sales manager called me to let me know he had gotten is 60PG60 shipment and was hanging his display unit. I asked him what he thought and he said, "OMG...you gotta come see this. I'm hanging it next to the Panny 750u for comparison"So, I headed on over and his explanation was well founded. With an identical source, the LG was far crisper, brighter, and had deeper blacks. Still not as bright as the Sammy 650 LCD nearby, but that Sammy was more $$, only 50", had far less features, and less dark blacks.I said... "Wrap it up!"Purchase ExperienceI purchased my 60-PG60 at Brandsmart; if you are located in Georgia or Florida, I highly recommend them.I opted for the 5 year warranty, which was deeply discounted as well.Set Up and UseThis sucker is heavy; part of that weight is a very nice and sturdy stand that allows 20 degree movement in either direction; I am using the stand.Beneath the stand are several rubber feat that make it darn near impossible to slide into place, so be sure you have someone to help you position it.Out of the box, the color settings were fine for me, but I might opt for one of those calibration disks since the LG includes two custom expert settings. I'll need some advice on that from you guys.The THX mode is kind of a mixed bag, it looks cool on some movies but not so good on others. Specifically, it looked great on Blu-ray "Night in the Museum," but kind of crappy on DVD The Matrix. I'm not sure if its been calibrated for HD or if the dark greenish nature of The Matrix made it a poor fit for this setting. The standard setting looked great.The invisible speakers worked fine, but I find myself listening to things at a setting around 50 rather than about 15 on my Samsung, which means just about nothing, but I figured I'd include it for reference. UPDATE: The sound is definitely interesting. After a couple days use in a live environment, I've found myself really using a range of volume from about 25 to 75. My initial, and a bit stupid, reaction was, "Why do I have to turn it up so much to be able to hear well?" The reality is two fold. First, at the low volume range all was quiet, 2am everyone asleep kind of thing. At the 75 end, dishwasher going, kids yelling upstairs, a vacuum running, and a teenager mucking around with iMovie within earshot. Every other set I've owned get's very loud and somewhat distorted after about 40% of its max volume. I've taken the PG60 all the way up to 75 (or 75% of max) without any distortion. It has evidently been designed to use the full range of its volume capabilities. The main downside I see is that you will likely be adjusting this set's volume more frequently than others due to environment and it would be nice to have some presets to save a bit of time as the volume increments or decrements. A minor quibble since it really doesn't take much time.AestheticsObviously this is personal, so take it with a grain of salt, but I think the PG60 is one of the nicest looking sets ever.It reminds me a lot of my iMac in that the glass is flush with a recessed matte. Unlike the 700/750 Panny, there are no doors to fold down and, for whatever reason, I just don't like fold down doors.Everything is black except for the pivot point on the stand which a sort of brushed aluminum, thus creating even more iMac comparison.IssuesThe included manual is woeful. There is a better one available online, but it pretty much sucks too. I really wish manufacturers would create one manual per model and explain each feature...oh well.The remote is a bit crappy too, mainly because it does not allow rapid access to some features by way of advanced buttons hidden behind a secondary door or some such. This is little more than a nuisance for me because I use a Harmony and can program many of those features directly from Logitech's site, however if the LG will be your primary remote, you might be a bit disappointed. For example, by remote alone, there is no way to go directly to a specific aspect ratio without cycling through them. One caveat, Logitech does not yet have the PG60s in their Harmony database so you'll need to go with last years 60" flagship. It works fine, but you lose access to new features like Just Scan until they get it updated, which should be soon. [UPDATE: Logitech's databases have now include the 60PG60 and you can directly access nearly all functions...yay!]Someone had asked me to baseline this unit against others...here it is:Here are my personal baselines for your 1-10 scale:1) Insignia NS-PDP425) Samsung PN58A5507) Panasonic Viera TH-58PZ750U9) LG 60PG6010) Pioneer Kuro PRO-150FDMy ratings do take into account aesthetics, features, and picture quality. The Pioneer's amazing inky blacks and uncompromising build quality/component selection pegs it as the best of the best IMHO. That said, my eyes are not as good as the instruments used by Elite engineers and my wallet is not as fat as those who might purchase that unit.Picture quality aside, I think the LGs aesthetics and feature set surpasses that of the Kuro. Sacrilege, I know, but there you have it.The Panny's glare reduction is a bit better than the LGs, but its feature set and picture quality are inferior. The new 850u might be a better comparison, but I haven't seen one in the wild. That said, pricing on the 850u looks to be significantly higher than for the PG60 in that I paid for the 60" what some major folks are charging for the 50" Panny.Finally, I may be repeating myself a bit, but I cannot overstate the Aesthetics of this set. It really is "iMac-ish" in its form factor. I really like the frameless design and invisible speakers. That is completely subjective and personal though...

Excellent price/performance balance
By Les Goe
I bought this television 2 months ago and am very satisfied with the purchase. There have been no problems with the set and it has done everything it claims. After researching for months, it was down to the LG and the Samsung 63A650. While not in Pioneer's Kuro class, the LG 60PG60 did a superb job in direct head-to-head comparison with the Samsung being only slightly stonger in black level and contrast (differences which I do not even notice at home). Back in October, the Samsung was also $1200 more than the LG, so losing just 10% of screen size was a no-brainer. (Most importantly, I found after buying, and subsequently returning, the 63" Samsung plasma, that there was an issue with 2 light, 4"-wide pink stripes running down the screen that could be seen in shots with a lot of white, especially black-and-white films. Samsung claimed the stripes were "in spec" and not in need of repair or replacement. Despite the otherwise great picture and excellent features, I just couldn't live with the stripes at $4G. After checking different-sized Samsung plasmas in three different local electronic stores, I saw one or two pink stripes on all but one screen! Take a look on the ASV forum and you'll see other people have identified this problem.) The LG 60PG60 makes an excellent replacement.In general, I agree with the CNET review on this TV: "The good: Highly accurate primary colors in THX mode; solid video processing; superb feature set with numerous picture controls; fine connectivity with four HDMI and one PC input; beautiful external design. The bad: Less accurate color decoding and grayscale in THX mode; produces lighter blacks than the best plasmas. The bottom line: Although its THX mode isn't as accurate as we'd like to see, the massive LG 60PG60 60-inch plasma TV still delivers a good picture."A word on Amazon.com white glove service. I've used it several times this year and have had no problems with either scheduling or delivery. This service is truly a wonderful and useful bonus to an already tremendous pricing on the TV. Kudos to Amazon.com!

Oh baby! It is stunning!
By Alex Vox
I was initially looking at 65" Panasonic's plasma but after watching this one at ABT I was knocked out by its terrific quality! The movies, I got it as a screen for movies, from LG BD300 look stunning! The movie experience just above anything I ever saw! In blu-ray it is simply almost like 3-D!The design, the slick appearance, makes it nice part of the room. Despite its huge screen it doesn't look heavy. The invisible speakers produce very nice sound, the ability to play music and photos from USB port is amazing.It is the best TV screen I ever owned or watched.As LG goes "life is good", man I agree!
