Price and features were key when deciding to make this purchase. This unit replaced a 46″ XBR, which, is still running strong. The primary reason for the upgrade was 1st – 3D capability, 2nd – size. This unit, mounted on the wall, has the same footprint as the XBR did, due to Sony’s design, and therefore, was able to upgrade pic size without compromising space already allocated. Extremely pleased with this unit, however, a few minor items that I would like to disclose. The device does not have an S-Video input. It comes with a dongle, that accepts one component, and one composite connection. I was able to get an S-Video adapter to convert to the composite, so no issue. This connection is used for Laserdisc playback. This unit has sensors in it for various reasons, one being, detection of someone being too close to the unit, which throws up a message requiring your action to reactiviate the picture when someone gets to close to the screen. Not sure what keeps causing this to activiate on my set, as again, it is mounted on the wall and, activated a few times when I was more that 10 feet from the screen. I disabled this functionality for now. Lastly, WiFi ready, however, if you are not broadcasting your SSID, you may have trouble connecting to your wireless network. Not sure why this is the case, but I have only been successful connecting to a wireless netwrok that is broadcasting the SSID. I still give it 5 stars however, as the pro’s heavily out weigh the con’s, and I was able to get this at a great price point. You will not be disappointed.

Sony KDL55HX820 Cyber Monday, Beautiful.
Sunday, October 30th, 2011Sony BRAVIA KDL55EX710 very cute.
Sunday, October 30th, 2011The picture is incredible. I don’t tweak the settings – just turned it on out of the box and it’s great. The LED backlighting really makes for a brilliant picture. Screen is plenty big, but not too big, even sitting eight feet away. Normal viewing distance for me is 12 feet. No complaints on my purchase.
Sony BRAVIA KDL55EX720 awesome
Saturday, October 29th, 2011Heard a lot of bad to mediocre reviews about this TV. I’ve owned it for about 1.5 months now and all I can say is: it’s not too bad. Like any TV out there, it’s all about the settings. Even the most expensive TV out there will look worse with poor settings compared to the cheaper TV with proper/correct settings. And there is NO such thing as a “perfect settings” for everyone. It’s all about your own personal taste. I followed the color temperature, gamma and white balance settings from CNET, but the rest I adjusted according to my personal likings and finally found a ideal settings that suit my taste. I can’t be happier.
Focus on L111FX VPC VAIO Sony
Monday, November 8th, 2010Great PC in many ways (all-in-one, large screen, touch, blue ray), but I’ve never used a computer with such a loud fan, so I’m returning it. It would probably work best in a noisy environment, where the fan noise was drowned out by other noises, but doesn’t work well in a home, in my opinion.
