Marvelous picture. Easy to set up and program.Easily moved around. I don't understand the negative comments about sound. What do you want?....a stereo system or a television set??!
This is a GREAT little television.
- A Dell Hybrid Studio PC (Windows Vista) via HDMI
- A homebuilt PC (Ubuntu 8.10) via VGA (aka the "PC" port)
- A Sony Playstation 2 via composite.
- An XBox (original) via composite.
Everything works as you'd expect so far. In particular, the Hybrid (Intel 965 chipset) running Vista is able to drive the TV *over HDMI* in its native 1360x768 resolution (the EDID has the correct info). This was a problem with a Samsung I bought and returned. Likewise, the homebuilt PC system (also an Intel chipset) has no problem driving the display at its native resolution (the Samsung could do this too, it just had problems accepting PC signal at native resolution over HDMI because its EDID was wrong). I have ordered component cables for the Playstation and XBox but they both work OK over composite (albeit not at 720p).
I am currently having a slight problem where the "HDMI 1" port loses sync to the Hybrid causing the TV to "flash" (loses both picture and sound at random intervals for a few seconds). Moving the connection to the HDMI 2 or 3 ports solves the issue, so I suspect it's just a connector problem. I will likely exchange it for this reason.
I'd recommend this TV to others.
No doubt there are cheaper LCD HD TVs out there, but you know when you get a Sony that you are going to get good quality. This Bravia series is no exception. The picture quality is astounding, especially when watching sporting events - you can see every face in the crowd.
I don't have much new to add to a review for this TV other than a simple warning that seems obvious - take a look at this TV at the store before you make your purchase online. When I bought this one I figured a 26 inch would be just perfect for my son, remembering my old "giant" 25 inch screens from the past. However, when this one arrived, it seemed so small. With the HD LCD screen, you really can go a bit bigger than you think. This 26 inch is great but I wish I had gotten just a bit bigger, especially for a TV that's going to be used in a livingroom area.
