Very Good HDTV from Sony

Haven't had the 60 inch TV but for a few week and it's doing just fine. We don't use cable and use only over the air and Wi-Fi with no problems. Easy setup, too.
I got this for a great price and because it has a native 120Hz refresh rate (ideal for gaming). I'm glad I bought this TV. I haven't used this for gaming yet, and I don't have cable TV. But I do watch a lot of Netflix on it. You'll be amazed by the quality of movies, esp if you turn on MotionFlow and CineMotion. You will feel like all the action is happening right in front of you.
Another awesome thing about this (if you don't have Apple TV, Chromecast) you can select YouTube videos to watch on you phone/tablet and 'pair' with your TV. It's neat.
Installation is quick and easy (took me less than 5 mins). No complaints, only thing I find annoying is noise reduction. There are 3 options: low, medium, and high. The only effective one is 'high' and it blurs the image by a lot. Low and medium barely remove any noise. This is only a big deal if you're watching online content which is noisy.
Great Picture When Settings Are Right! Here's Mine

It took me a few days to get the settings just right on my KDL60R510A and what a difference it makes! I'm not using game mode since it greys out some of the settings from being adjusted. The picture is rich in color with deep contrast range. I found that turning on Live Color and turning Gamma down to -2 or -3 made a huge difference too. If you don't want to ruin the settings you already have, try them on another input since each one can have its own separate settings. I'm not seeing motion blur or a tail on the end of the football in sports (mainly because MotionFlow and Cinemotion are off and the scene selection is sports). I've found that everything looks good with these settings whether I'm watching movies, sports or video files via DLNA.
Like most LCD/LED screens these days, optimum viewing angle is limited to about 35 degrees left/right before you notice the picture start washing out (this is different from my 2006 Sony S series flat screen which has a wider angle of acceptable picture viewing).
KDL60R510A: MY VIDEO SETTINGS (scene select - sports) backlight - 4 picture - 80 brightness - 50 color - 48 hue - 0 sharpness - (to taste) color temp - neutral noise reduction - medium mpeg noise reduction - off MotionFlow - off Cinemotion - off
IN ADVANCED SETTINGS: adv. contrast enhancer - off black corrector - off gamma - minus 2 clear white - off live color - low led motion - off

Hi pricey, we are sorry that you hare having troubles with the unit, have you contact sony about this? if so please contact us at socialsupport@am.sony.com and include model/serial number, Event ID and a detailed description of the issue that he is having with the unit.
I purchased this tv to replace a smaller tv in my living room. I thought the replaced Samsung had a terrific picture, which it does, and this tv is not a disappointment. It has great natural tones and color. I couldn't be more pleased.
What a change! Our old tv was 9 yrs. old , so when it finally broke we purchased this tv. The picture is very clear and bright...a real pleasure to watch. It was easy to set up, and the remote is easy to use. So easy my 3 yr. old great-grandson loves Netflix. ..saw it on the remote. ..pressed the button and there it was. So he was happy. Fortunately I had already set it up. Anyway, we love the tv and do recommend it!
