5 Stars Sony Is Great But Now Looking For Large Plasma…
The Sony KDL-32XBR9 purchased from Amazon is excellent and so was the cost, but now looking for a large screen Plasma for Basement Family Room. Anyone have any suggestions, like Samsung or Panasonic and which model?

5 Stars Great LCD TV!
I recently upgraded from my old CRT TV and have been completely satisfied with my purchase. We did compare LCD TVs in a showroom and the Sony Bravia clearly had the best picture. It had sharp detail and the best blacks of all the brands. The only weakness is the sound because of the small speakers but there is an output so I can use my stereo system and it sounds great. If you have home theatre system that will work as well.

5 Stars Beautiful and High Quality
I love this TV. I’m sure I would feel differently had I not updated the firmware before I even tried to use it, but since I did — I LOVE THIS TV! I am going to try to put the link for the update at the bottom of this review, but Amazon may have a policy to delete links in reviews. If this happens, then go to [...] and follow the links for this model. You’ll eventually find the update. Download it to a jump drive and plug it into the service port (the only one that’ll take USB) with the TV off, then turn the TV on and things will take care of themselves.

[...]

UPDATE

Okay, so Amazon did delete everything. That’s okay — you know Sony has a website.

5 Stars Finally Got it…Love it!
So I finally got this TV for a multi reason based using. I just replaced my G5 with a Mac Pro and got a PS3 slim for the bed room as well while the older PS3 is hooked up to our 60″ Sony SXRD. I needed a larger monitor for my Mac Pro, but also wanted a TV for the room and we were originally going to go with the 24″ Cinema display from Apple. Amazing unit but is only for the computer and that is it. With that said, I turned to Sony.

The XBR9 does a great job with blacks and colors so when my Mac is running and im in Final Cut or iPhoto, the picture quality is great (I went DVI to HDMI) and when I switch the input over to the PS3 (HDMI), everything continues to look fantastic. So Games/Blu-ray and TV are great.

Again, I have to stress though like other reviewers, the XBR9 does not look as good as the XBR8 because its lower in the series! I mean look at the price difference for the love of god. So please, dont think that somehow Sony has gone back in their mindset. Just 2 different series.

5 Stars sony lcd tv
Great product, I really love hd. Spend the extra money for top of the line you won’t be disapointed. Works perfect with my over the air antenna, if not better than direct tv. Save 30% from retail. Shipping was to my door, open box and plug in for free, beat that. I will trade with them again.

4 Stars Enjoying my new flat screen
The new flat screen is a trim addition to my TV viewing experience. Good picture quality and less space taken up on the cabinet top. Have not tried the DVD player yet but it appears to be a great way to have a 2 in 1 experience.

5 Stars High Quality For My Uses
It’s the only TV in my small apartment – a larger screen would overwhelm both room size and wall hangings. Don’t let the low pixel count scare you off; AT THESE DIMENSIONS picture quality is high. Sound quality is good for voice. As for music. it’s hardly in a minor league team for my table-top BOSE.

5 Stars Great value-great TV
I bought this TV for our bedroom; it replaced an old cumbersome set. We have cable, so we are thrilled to be able to get most programs in either analog or digital format. I note the sound is not as loud in the digital programs; however, it is more than adequate for bedroom use. I love being able to play DVDs on the set, and the clarity and color are certainly great….in my opinion! The set would be a little too large for use in my kitchen, but it is great for the purpose for which I bought it.

4 Stars Bang for the buck
Don’t believe what you read. This was a set purchased for use in a bedroom. The sound quality I’ve experienced is excellent, more than adequate in volume. Have found no need for any additional speakers even with the ceiling fan on high speed. Picture quality for the size is wonderful and improves when DVD’s are utilized. Am so impressed with “bang for a buck” that am buying an additional one for use in another bedroom. You cannot go wrong!

3 Stars Perfecet for Harold Lloyd fans
A number of reviews of this TV focus on the lack of audio volume. I ordered the TV assuming that these people were simply fussy. In fact, they are spot-on. The TV is awfully quiet. That said, it’s still lightweight, has a good picture, etc. So if you’re willing to hook up external speakers, or watch silent movies (or if you live alone) – go for it!

4 Stars It hasn’t been long but so far so good
Only had the monitor a few weeks but so far I like it a lot.

Bought it to replace a non-wide screen monitor. Hooked it up to my Dell running xp and things are great out of the box, not stretched like I’ve experienced with some wide screen monitors.

TV with the QAM tuner is great as I get a bunch of HD channels.

All in all I have no hesitation recommending this monitor/tv.

4 Stars sound problem dispute
I purchased this TV through Amazon in January of this year. It is now a great deal cheaper, but I have always been satisfied with the set until—-About two days ago, when I would turn on or switch to certain channels the sound would work for just a few words, then quit totally. Out of 70 available channels, there are nearly half of them that experience this problem. I called Samsung Customer service, and they claim it has to be the cable system. The cable provider claims it has to be the TV. The cable provider will send a technician, but may charge me $45 if it is a TV problem.

What I find interesting is that if I leave on one of the channels that won’t transmit the sound, the TV will suddenly have sound when the local cable system broadcasts it’s own commercial. When the commercial is over, the sound is off again.

The sound is not the best on this TV, and switching from one channel to another is not nearly as fast as other TVs, but once I get this audio problem solved, I will be a happy camper.

5 Stars Samsung HDTV T260HD
Great and no problems. Been using for 9 months as monitor, HDTV using over-the-air digital signals, and as std. DVD player(sorry,blu-ray still too costly for me). Other people complain about the Samsung functioning better as a monitor than a HDTV, and vice-versa…but I am completely satisfied with color, clarity(1920×1200), big screen, ease of switching between monitor and HDTV. Only downside is if you want to mount to articulating wall bracket, you need to buy ‘accessory mounting bracket adapter’ (about $40-50 on Amazon). Good price and good delivery from Amazon.

5 Stars Excellent monitor!
I use it for my computer, DIRECT TV & video games. Excellent purchase and the Amazon service was great as usual.

5 Stars Samsung mid sized TV (25-1/2″)
Take: I went with the theory of “Get the biggest one that fits!” Everyone in the family likes it a lot.

The high-def pictures that come in are great, and the regular channels only so-so, but I attribute this to Comcast rather than the TV. We don’t have a high-def box so the high-def images come in on weird channels – which this TV seems to get a lot of (for example 26-1, 26-2, 26-3 and so on, which may or may not be variations of channel 26). But when the Phillies are on (and winning), and the channel comes in in High Definition, it’s awesome. Sound is so-so, but I’m sure with an $80 pair of computer speakers it would be just fine.

We bought this for our kitchen, so the sound isn’t that critical. OK, I bought it for our kitchen against my wife’s better judgment who wanted something smaller. But I prevailed, saying to her, “Look, I’m the man around the house and we’re getting this here big TV!” Then, when she woke up, I asked much more nicely, sniveling a little and pleading. I thought she said OK, and ordered it, but then she said that was just a cough and how could I do such a thing. I claimed total misunderstanding, and when the TV came in I installed it that afternoon before she got home (quite easily – cable went directly in). Presto, it was up and running! And when she came home from the office there were me and 3 kids all grinning ear to ear with the TV on. She reluctantly agreed to keep it, and now we all really like it.

So, pluses for the clear high def channels, minuses for the unusual channel alignments (Comcast), minus for the sound quality, but 4-1/2 stars because I’d get the same TV again and would recommend it to others.

5 Stars Toshiba 15LV505
Great TV – and I really like the built-on DVD player as well. great picture – sound is good for such a small set. Works great in our camper.

4 Stars nice picture on a good little television but…
This is a really nice little television. We replaced our under-the-cabinet television with this one. The picture quality is excellent as well as the sound and look of the television. However like other reviewers said, when you are switching channels,there is an uncomfortably long (3-4 second) delay before the channel switches.

4 Stars tv-dvd combo
Happy with this combo. We replaced an old, box of a tv in the kitchen and gained a lot of counter space. It is just the right size for a kitchen counter. We just hooked up the old rabbit ears and the Toshiba delivers great picture and sound quality without a fancy new antenna. As others have noted there is a pause when switching channels, but that is but a minor annoyance.

4 Stars Toshiba 15″ TV
This TV has a great picture unless you are viewing at an angle. I bought it for my RV. I returned it because the TV shelf in the RV is near the ceiling and we were viewing from the couch below. When standing the TV has a great picture but when watching from the couch, which is lower, the picture was very dark.

4 Stars Good for kitchen and other small places
There’s not a whole lot to add to the other reviews. It’s a nice little TV for the money and the only real “name brand” to come in such a small size.

Positives:

* Nice picture for the price and size

* Small size — perfect for kitchen, etc

* The sound was surprisingly good, much better than I was expecting

The only real negatives are:

* How long it takes to change channels. I haven’t timed it but it feels like a good 4-5 seconds for over the air tuning.

* Non adjustable stand. It’s not a really big negative for where I have it set up, but it’s something that may be a problem for others.

The only thing I would change is no DVD player and knock a few dollars off the price. I suppose it’s convenient to have it built in but I’ve never used it to play a DVD (I think I’ve played a music CD in it twice in four months) but it seems all models in this size / price range have built in players. It doesn’t detract from the functionality or seem to add to the overall size, so I guess it’s just a matter of what you’re using it for.

The DVD player and the channel changing delay are the only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5. Other than that I would highly recommend this TV.
