I purchased this TV about one month ago. Overall I am happy with the purchase mainly because of the picture. It was not easy to set up and I am not able to use all of the features. I have not been able to set up the "IR blaster" that is needed to use the TV remote. After much fiddling I am able to use the remote that came with my cable box, which I prefer anyway. I just cannot access the additional features on the TV like Netflix. I would only recommend this to someone who found the extra features to be important.
Easy to shop, purchase, install, setup, and operate. Great reception on an attic antenna (we cut the cord) and satellite internet. Buttons on the controller are intuitive and screen directions are clear. Picture is so good it almost looks like 3-D. Sound is clear, not muddled (very impt. to us old folks). Because I am a bass-o-phile, I'll add a subwoofer.
I have had the TV up and running for about three weeks and I am very pleased with the quality of the picture both bright and colorful. I have the TV hooked up to my over the air antenna and through ARC to the ARC output of my homer theater receiver. The TV pulled in over 90 station through the antenna. The local stations are gorgeous especially the live sports. Blu-Rays are bright and the colors vibrant. I have not played with the smart portion of the television that much. My only complaint is you have to inform the TV which speakers you are using the televisions or external speakers
Replaced an old monitor and was blown away with how good the picture is on my new Sony! A long time fan... have a Sony 3D projector as well. They do it right!!
