Found the picture quality to be outstanding, we do not have HD from DIRECT TV yet and still find the picture knocking our socks off. Easy to change picture,sound etc... options. I have shopped for over 30 days and found this to be the best value for the dollar. I shopped 4 other top brands and Sony is the best buy for your dollar

Maybe I have that 1 lemon that comes along with any product. I purchased this product based on you alls reviews and I am having bad luck. It worked perfectly for 10 days then it just shut-off today before my Xmas crowd arrived. So you can imagine the reviews I had to give. I would not get any ECO unit again. I hope Sony makes it good. By the way there are reviews missing at this date. When I first considered it there were some negative posts here. The sound just quits at times but pushing a few buttons will get it back. I've got a Yakuza Gremlin.

I had been using a HD tube TV for years. Great picture and all but no HDMI connectivity and it was an energy hog. After researching LCDs for several weeks I kept coming back to the features of the VE5. I was not disappointed when I put up my first HD images from my IO HD service. I don't have a BD player (yet) but the DVD player I have is HDMI and has good upscaling. DVDs really jump off the screen. There is enough adjustment capability that you can get a nice picture fairly easily (basic rule of thumb turn everything down from what they display at the store). The sound will not be great if you have a larger room. Our living room is smallish and though we usually watch DVD movies with sound going through an amp, the speakers on the TV are adequate for most of our TV watching. Setting up the TV was easy and quick. It fit easily onto the mounting bracket, all our components have HDMI so hooking stuf up was easy. Turned it on, made some quick adjustments and had a great picture in a few minutes. Adjusted more over a few days and now we have a reallly great picture. And its not an energy hog!

This HCFL LCD backlight tv has incredible black levels coupled with artifact free, super dense colors when watching all sorts of programming, including HDTV sports. 1080p viewing is jawdropping. Even analog channels are incredible to watch. Sony's unique use of HCFL backlighting gives a brilliant picture that is unforgettable. I just watched the recently release Startrek Bluray in 1080p. Stunning is an understatement. Sony continues to be the premier television of choice in my book.
