Enter your favorite artists and enjoy stations created just for you. Rate songs as they play, because Pandora caters to your tastes and adapts stations to your feedback on the spot.With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience.
If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.

I owned an old Sony tube set back in the 1980s and it also lasted forever. I don’t know the quality of the latest sets, but Sony has bought my loyalty; my next set also will be a Sony, even if it costs 2x a TCL or a Samsung or whatever.

I owned an old Sony tube set back in the 1980s and it also lasted forever. I don’t know the quality of the latest sets, but Sony has bought my loyalty; my next set also will be a Sony, even if it costs 2x a TCL or a Samsung or whatever.
Fist off I bought this t.v. from Best Buy for the bundle that was offered. The t.v. came with a Gran Turismo PS3 and the Alice in Wonderland 3d pack which was a fantastic deal for 2300 or whatever. I also based it on all the good reviews I have read and plus the picture in store was great. I think the overall deal of the bundle may of blinded me a little but nonetheless it was a fantastic deal. The issue I had the most is simply the picture quality since I just could not find the perfect picture that would make the scene pop out at you. I watched Transformers, Inception, Monsters Inc, Saving Private Ryan and basically every blu ray I had. The picture just would not get what I would say fantastic and never perfect no matter how much adjusting I did. I found the scene to be too bright or too dark but colors were great but detail never popped. I watched the beginning of Saving Private Ryan on my brothers 46 inch Samsung series 7 and the scene was simply amazing with just the amount of the detail where the beach scene begins and the camera is still on the hedgehog in the water. On the Sony the scene would not get anywhere close to that. In fact the Samsung made it almost look like it was coming out at you without 3d and almost like you could touch it. The issue I always had with my Sony Bravia 40 inch that I was upgrading from had the same problem. The picture simply would never get to a fantastic quality. After that I decided I would not buy another Sony t.v. but the bundle sold me and plus that was three years ago when I purchased it. I now think with Sony you simply pay for the name and not so much the quality unless you get the flagship models. I ended up taking it back and am now gonna go with either the Samsung C8000 or the Panasonic TC-PVT25 plasmas whenever a deal runs with a bundle and since its the holidays I am sure one will come around.
The audio absolutely without a doubt sucks. For something costing twenty five hundred bucks you would think they would pack something decent in. My Sony 40 inch lcd from three years ago blows it out of the water. If you go with this t.v. than make sure you gotta something to push the sound to better quality than this.
The screen did not reflect very much at all though and we have a relatively bright room. It did have a great selection of connections with 4 hdmi which I think now is pretty standard. The 3d was great but I did find I had no problems watching but my wife could not bear but about ten minutes and she was done. It was great since I had never watched 3d in anything before. To get the most I recommend sitting pretty close to get the full immersion. Our couch is around fifteen feet from the t.v. and you really don't get the most by sitting far away. I did notice there was still a lot of flashing on images in the movies we watched and I believe that may be called crosstalk.
Overall if the picture looks good to you than have at it but my eye was not satisfied. The bundle is a great deal and if you get it and like it than you are fortunate in your own eyes and maybe those of others. As for me I will be getting something else.
