     "It's great but...." 2009-10-07
    By Peter B. Perkins Jr. (California)
    This TV is easy to use, has a good array of inputs on the back, and even has a headphone input. My biggest complaint is the light bleed especially the edges. Coupled with Blu-Ray the picture is amazing but when my eyes aren't attracted to the edges I'm looking at that spot that supposed to be dark but is kind of shiny-ish. If you know what I am talking about and really don't care then I highly suggest this TV and brand in general for the ease of use and low prices but if you are easily distracted like me you should probably look for something else...

     "Speaker hiss, logo won't turn off" 2009-09-15
    By Adam J. Richter (Campbell, California USA)
    When playing digital broadcast television or HDMI digital audio such as from a blu-ray or DVD, the built-in speakers have substantial hiss reminscient of a distant analog television siginal. The headphone jack (the unmarked hole in back of the left edge of the monitor) also has audio static, although the static was only noticible when I used my $[...] Maxell dhp-ii headphones and unnoticible on my $[...] Inland heaphones. I bought one of these televisions at Costco and swapped it out for a replacement due to the audio static, and both units had the same audio static. I work around this by connecting my headphones directly to my blu-ray player and keeping something plugged into the telvision's headphone jack.



    Also, if you are going to use this television as a monitor always playing video-only signals, you should be relieved to know that the audio static apparently does not occur until it is asked to play audio. So, if you are just going to connect the monitor to an HDMI computer video card with no audio, you may never have to deal with the static.



    Another drawback you should be aware of is that you need an external AC power switch to get the unit's logo light to turn off.



    Finally a really minor complaint is that selecting VGA input from the remote control requires a multi-key sequence that has a fast enough timeout that I often have to try twice. The other inputs have their own buttons on the remote control, so this problem only applies to VGA, which will become less popular in the future anyhow.



    In spite of these drawbacks, if you think of this device as a video-only monitor with a good number of inputs that, as a bonus, includes speakers and a broadcast digital TV tuner that can be used to catch the news occasionally, it is cost competitive with similar computer monitors that have no speakers and no ATSC tuner.

     "Another Great Buy From Vizio!" 2009-08-29
    By Roger Durr (Kentucky)
    As a future college student, I have looked for, researched, and tried out many small HDTV's to use as a computer monitor/HDTV for my dorm room. The employees at Best Buy stated that if a TV wasn't over 46 inches big, you couldn't tell the difference between 1080p and 720p. However, he didn't know what he was saying. At relatively far distances (i.e. normal watching distance for most TV's) the difference between 1080p and 720p is small to none. However, from a short distance (like 4 feet for a 42 inch, or 1.5 feet for a 24 inch) you can easily tell the difference in resolution. This is where this T.V. comes in. As a computer monitor, I will be close up to the screen, reading tiny text like the text in this review! Now that the main issue has been sorted out, it's onto the main review:



    Contrast-5000:1 may seem like a big number, but that is only dynamic. Although I couldn't find the static/typical contrast, it is probably around 900-1000. However, since this set has a relatively low brightness (300 cd/m2), blacks looked blacker than normal, which is a good thing.



    Resolution- 1080p...enough said!



    Motion- 5 ms means that button presses on any device (like a keyboard or game console) happen with only an unnoticable .05 second delay, which is lightning fast. However, since there is no 120Hz, there will be noticeable motion blur on extremely fast action scenes. This tv is relatively small, so motion blur won't be a big problem for normal watching and gaming.



    Feature Set/Presentation- since this is an ECO HDTV, it uses far less power than previous models, if your into the whole energy saving thing. SRS TruSurround is always a good thing for making movies and other sounds "pop" but when that program is run through 3 Watt speakers, you can't expect much. The 3D comb filter, now standard with many HDTV's, helped to put out a wide color scheme; at least that's what my friends said they saw, I'm colorblind, so color gamut specs really don't apply to me. The white/black look touches off my 360, but it can only match with so many things.



    Overall Value- for a little over $300, you get full 1080p, a relatively "large-small-screen" great for a computer monitor, and the confidence that you got another good HDTV from Vizio.



    Hope you liked the review!

     "Good HDTV for a small space" 2009-04-19
    By D. Steinborn (Seattle, Washington USA)
    I bought this HDTV to use in my home office so I can watch local news and cable news channels while I am working. It connected easily to my cable system (Comcast in Seattle). The automatic set up routine found all of the unscrambled channels that Comcast offers. Comcast users should note that Comcast has its channel line up set up so that the only HD channels one can receive without a Comcast set top box or a CableCard are your local HD Channels.



    The picture is very good and the sound is quite acceptable.

     "size consideration" 2009-03-18
    By X. QI
    I bought this 22'' one today to replace my old 20'' analog one. I am generally happy so far with the quick setup, also the clear audio due to the front-facing speakers. However I realized that in order to view 4:3 programming without cropping and distortion, the picture is smaller than the one on my old 20'' TV. Upon some calculation I can now share this conversion formulae with you: if you are looking to buy a HDTV (widescreen TV) to replace your analog one (squarish TV), and want to maintain the SAME image size of 4:3 programming contents on your new widescreen TV as on your old squarish one, WITHOUT distortion and cropping, then the size of the HDTV (its diagonal screen dimension) should be 1.224 times that of the analog TV. For instance, to replace my old 20'' analog TV and keep the same image size for 4:3 contents, I would have to buy a 1.224x20=24.477'' one. Of course there is no such size, but you get the idea: buy one bigger than 24''! This formulae works regardless of the size of the original TV.

     "More than a little disappointed" 2009-03-15
    By A. Leung
    I purchased this model in end Dec 2008. Main reasons of purchase were the profile is good looking, and it's a Sony TV set. However, besides agreeing with the previous reviewer's comment about color inaccuracy, I also found these cons:

    . The display is darker than desired - it's not possible to set it bright enough without making it over-saturated.

    . The tuner is noiser than expected - my low-cost USB Tuner used on a three-year old PC has less noise.

    . The viewing angles are diappointingly narrow, especially the horizontal one.

    . More clearer picture is desire - at times it will look like a very old analog TV set -- not sure if that's because of the particular TV programs themselves.



    I had been using Sony analog TV's for many years, and they were very good. I'm disappointed on this Sony LCD TV especially it's more expensive than other brands of the same size.

     "No headphone jack or night mode" 2009-08-13
    By AJ MURRAY (New York, NY USA)
    This is my first ever HDTV so I can't compare it to others, but I am consistently blown away by the image quality when watching BluRay movies and playing PS3, and can't imagine how it could be much better.



    However, I live in a small apartment and bought a pair of headphones for my wife so she could watch her girly TV series in private, ... until I realized that there is nowhere to plug in external headphones. It has RCA-out for an amplifier, but no headphones? Come on, even a $50 black & white telly has that!!



    While on the subject of sound: when watching BluRay, the difference between soft and loud volume is so great that I constantly find myself increasing and decreasing the volume. This TV could really have benefited from a Night Mode, and sadly the PS3 does not seem to have one either.

     "Very happy with decision to buy it!" 2010-01-27
    By Blaine (Massachussetts)
    I don't know that I can add anything to the review from a tech point of view but felt I should least mention my pleasure with the purchase. I had my choice narrowed down to three LCD's but when I found I could get $1,100 off in various discounts I bought the Sony the week before Thanksgiving. It took a couple of days to learn just what to change or shut off to give me what I feel is a fantastic high def picture. As mentioned in other reviews I did shut off the light sensor and when set on Vivid mode it gives that bright picture that you see the LCD's set on in stores. It's almost a little to bright for me but my wife likes that setting. I also shut off the presence sensor. I did download the firmware update and loaded it in but I don't know how necessary it was, I wasn't experiencing any problems.

    I should probably mention that I wanted this strictly for watching TV and movies. I have no desire to connect a computer to it or watch streaming videos. I did make sure that it had the additional inputs for various devices I might need to connect: composite, component, S-video..ect.

    I couldn't be more pleased with the picture that I get on the hd channels. I read in one review that they were also pleased with the quality of non high def channels. I don't really care for the picture I get on the non hd channels. I use Comcast for my cable. I don't know what their source is. I have this set connected to my surround system and everything is working fine and sounds like I'm in a theater when watching TV. I had to do a bit of tweaking when I connected my Blu Ray player to everything but that has nothing to do with this. The only problem is I'm a bit spoiled now and usually don't watch the TV without the sound system. When I don't have the sound system on I have the TV speakers set to TruSurround and it sounds fine.

    My only complaint would be the little operating instruction booklet that comes with the set. It is as basic as you get it! Two weeks ago I bought a $259. 22" LCD and got a booklet 5 times as thick. You will need to go the Sony site for any in depth detail or understanding of what some function does. You will learn more about adjusting your picture from reading the reviews here than from your booklet.

    To wrap it up, I have had this LCD for over two months now and I couldn't be happier with the picture and the "price" I paid for it. This LCD truly shows what HD TV is. Sometimes I just stand a few feet away taking in all the details that I never saw before getting this TV.

     "This is a nice TV" 2010-01-03
    By Wade A. Hathaway (New York City)
    After doing what seemed to be more research than I put into my master's thesis, I came up with a short list of LCDs. Finally I compared this tv in store against the vizio 55in 'led', a panasonic plasma, a Sharp and another Sony. All were in comparable price/feature range. Doing a little tweaking in the store I got a good picture easily with the KDL52 VE5 and I liked the energy saving features (HCFL, sensors, ability to completely turn off power). After getting the unit home, a couple of days worth of tweaking provided a really nice picture. The contrast is good. No or very little motion blur. I have not seen any of dark scene blue tint reported in CNET's review. I have a nice Panasonic DVD burner with HDMI and upscaling and my DVDs look great. We play Wii and everyone loves the graphics. We watch tv through a digital cable box with HDMI, and even non-digital channels look good. My wife even watches a pay channel from Russia and even with its conversion from Russian Pal/Seacam (whatever their color standard is now) and being standard definition it looks good.



    Yes the sound is not great but we have a relatively small LR and it is fine. I use the TrueSurround setting and it is more than satisfactory. When I want bigger sound (certain DVDs or Concerts) I use our stereo system sound.



    So now after having the tv for a few weeks I have absolutely no buyers remorse and I would readily recommend the unit to others.

     "Excellent TV Set" 2009-12-03
    By Nicholas Saretzky
    I bought this after a 32" Samsung stopped working with certain HDMI sources. I still love Samsung, but after that one mysteriously stopped working I decided I'd try something new. And I'm glad I did. The 52" size is really perfect for my room. It's definitely a large set, but not so large that images feel overly stretched across its surface.



    Initially I was very disappointed with the image quality. The issue is that when the light sensor is turned on, the backlight slider can be set to full power, but you're only experiencing a fraction of this set's incredible brightness. Although the brightness sensor seems like a great feature, I found that overall it was too aggressive in reducing brightness, so I have to recommend that it be turned off. Ironically, it works better in well-lit rooms than dark. Once you have full control over the backlighting, this set really shines. The contrast is excellent (my camera has a contrast ratio of 2000:1, and it couldn't capture this TV's image fully). So I can believe that it has the 5000:1 on-screen contrast that Sony claims.



    Personally, I don't like my image tampered with. The low setting of motionflow is okay, but the high setting is really comical and only good if you crave that look of sped up footage. The contrast enhancer I also don't find necessary, since the image has great contrast natively. However, I do like that you can create multiple image settings for each input. For example, I can quickly toggle between a game setting and a movie setting when using my PS3.



    Sound quality is fair. Nothing to write home about. I certainly don't use TV speakers with an image this good, and don't recommend anyone else does either.



    The energy saving features and setup of this set are really excellent. My surge protector monitors current, and this tv usually uses only 0.4 amps (~50 watts). It's mainly dependent on the backlight brightness, but even so, this is one very efficient product. I was worried that the unique backlight would tinge the color, but as far as I can tell, it's spot-on. The motion sensing really does work. I leave it set to 30 minutes and it hasn't shut off on me yet, which is good. Sony doesn't mention this much on their website, but it's also heat-sensing, which could explain it's sensitivity. I sit 13 feet away, and it detects my motion with little difficulty.



    The worst part about the TV is either the remote, or the fact that the inputs are on the side. If you end up swapping inputs a lot, I suppose it's nice, but otherwise I feel it's a poor design decision. Depending on the heft of your wires, and your seating angle, you could be looking at HDMI cables out the side of your otherwise beautiful tv set. The remote is very basic. Compared to the older V-series Bravias, this TV actually has the less fancy interface (the XMB went hand in hand with a nicer remote for the 4100 series). That said, I don't feel affected by either. If the decision to drop a pointlessly shiny interface and fancier remote keeps the price down, I'm all for it. I use a Fios or universal remote almost exclusively, so I don't miss it. And since I don't use the TV to tune my programming, the XMB would be a waste. That said, this interface is fine, very logical and doesn't hide settings too deep (except motion flow). No frills, but won't disappoint either.



    I wish Sony had included a little more detail in their manual, but I doubt most people even read those anymore, so I'm just nit picking. The stand is pretty good, although Sony recommends you anchor down the TV to the wall, which might be a good idea. Shame the stand doesn't swivel, as I have two common sitting positions in my room. Oh well. The important thing is that the image quality on this TV is superb, there are no oversights that ruin the usability or connectivity of the TV, it's very energy efficient, and it looks good even when off. I fully recommend this TV if you like the V-series, and are interested in saving some energy.

     "AWESOME!" 2009-12-02
    By K. Mottus (Wyoming, Michigan United States)
    I just got it yesterday and as soon I took it out of the box I was happy with my purchase.

    The picture and colors are awesome, I don't know what else to ask. Before that TV, I purchased one of the LG 55 inch tv-s.

    I was deeply disappointed. Coloring was so dull.. that it just made me feel really sad about my purchase. I'm more picky then my husband about quality about electronics, but even he was not happy. We did return it and we decided to go with our first choice( Sony) anyway. So, if you put together great picture and colors, easiness of use and quality you can not go wrong with Sony! A big PLUS is also the energy savings. Energy usage is below Energy star 3.0 qualifications. Plus Motion Sensor ( turns off the tv when no one is detected moving for certain period of time). Yesterday after working 5 hours straight, the tv was not even a little warm! Go Sony ECO! Didn't give 5 stars for sound because if you would like to have full experience with your tv you would want to have Home Theatre system. But if you are not that picky, you'll be fine with that.

    End credits: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!

     "Great TV, especially on power usage" 2009-11-10
    By MARTIN HELLMAN (California, USA)
    Having been burned on many appliances using way too much power (and I pay as much as $0.40 a kWh thanks to Enron screwing California's "grandmas"), I was attracted to the power saving features on this TV. But the small number of reviews made me wonder if I was missing something, even though all but one were 5 stars. Having had the set for a week, I can now rest easy. The picture is great, the power is what they claim (except as noted below), the sound is good (we didn't want a home theater system) and, in general I am very pleased with my purchase.



    Pros:

    1. The picture is stunning. I couldn't compare side-by-side with other TV's, but I am totally pleased.



    2. The power consumption is as advertised. I have a power meter and check out all new appliances -- and have had some real surprises in the past, including with another Sony TV, but that's another story. (See my review under Sony's KDL-37XBR6 for that saga.) During the day, this 52" tv uses 140 watts in Standard mode, 100 watts in Cinema mode, and 150 watts in Vivid mode. I like Standard best during the day. At night, with the Light Sensor enabled (the default), the power drops to about 75 watts in Standard mode, but the picture is way too dim for my taste, so I've had to turn off the Light Sensor. Instead, I either use Standard mode all the time, or move to Cinema mode at night (which is fine, but a bit of a pain to change -- I wish Light Sensor was not so aggressive or there were a user setting to adjust it from 0 to 100%). This compares to 200 watts for my 37" Sony purchased a year ago, so this set is really doing much better.



    3. The sound is fine for us. Since we're not into home theater, you can tell we're not into ground shaking bass. But the sound from the TV's internal speakers meet our tastes fine. No tinniness or other problems mentioned on some other sets.



    4. Standby power really is low. My power meter measures 0 to 0.2 watts, not that it's very accurate at that level. I have not yet hooked up an antenna or cable connection, where the problem mentioned in #1 above with the electronic program guide might enter. When I do, though, now I'll know to look for the problem and how to fix it if it occurs -- or bug Sony until they tell me how to. (The two sets might have different procedures for turning off the useless guide that was costing me several dollars a month in electricity -- on the other Sony, not this one.)



    Cons:

    1. As noted above, the Light Sensor is almost useless. Way too aggressive. And, the user manual was almost no help in finding how to turn it off. It's in Setup/Eco, and to get to Setup you have to go to Picture Adjustments or another Setup category. I didn't see Setup as an option itself.



    2. The motion sensor is useless. It only works to 9.5' which is not far enough for a 52" TV. Probably more useful on the smaller models. The unit ships with motion sensor off as the default, a sign that Sony recognizes (but did not fix) the problem.



    Caveats:

    1. We drive the set only with a TiVo box, a PS3 (blu-ray!) and other external signals. I have not yet tested the internal tuner, so the slow tuning problem mentioned by the single 1 star review is not something I'd see. I also wonder if that's a problem with digital tuners in general or this set is uniquely slow.



    2. I was unable to determine the expected life span of the hot cathode fluorescent light, or how much a replacement might cost.



    3. I was unable to compare power consumption with the new (more expensive) LED backlit sets. It's hard to find power consumption ratings, much less under real use. The LED sets are also a lot more expensive to buy.



    In spite of the small drawbacks, this set is so much better than others I've seen (at least when my concern for power consumption, both from an economic and environmental point of view is factored in) that it clearly rates five stars.

    Great Cable, Great Price, Great Customer Service from Monster-Cable-N-More



    I needed both a 1.5ft cable from my PS3 to my Denon AVR and a 3ft from my Denon AVR to my 46 inch Sony Bravia ln4150 LCD TV so I decided to buy them from the same seller.



    I was amazed how fast my package was delivered, besided the 1 day processing it only took one more day to be delivered here in CA, I am very pleased with the Cables Quality and the Ferrite Cores are great because it assures my electronics will be safe from Electronic Noise.



    All and All I am happy and will buy from them again. Well at least when I need to hook up a new toy like my media center pc.

    By Edward H. Gundrum (Minerva, NY)
    Good reliable TV. I mounted this TV in my motorhome although the instructions from Sony state that the TV should not be installed in a moving vehicle. I mounted it to a wall mount and it works just fine. Good sound and picture. The only drawback is that I move my motorhome often and the TV autotune takes up to 50 minutes to do an Autosearch to reset available channels in the area.

    My old set took only about 5 minutes. Otherwise we love the set and would recommend it.

     "disappointed" 2009-09-13
    By Michael M. Cole (Austin, Texas)
    I purchased this television six months ago. I do not have cable and use an antenna. This tv has a sturdy frame and a very clear picture as well as first rate sound quality for a small screen television; however, on at least one of the major networks this television loses sound and sometimes picture roughly every twenty minutes. I have to move the antenna and/or turn the set off and back on to restore normal broadcast. I have moved this set to different locations and even watched it at a friend's house to rule out the possibility of interference. Nothing has helped. I spoke to a repairman and he says that there's probably a problem with the tuning mechanism and that I'm most likely stuck with a lemon. I bought a Sony thinking that I would get quality. I was wrong. Foolishly perhaps, I just purchased another Sony. This time a 22-inch Bravia L-series. So far, so good. No problems.

     "Color of TV" 2009-09-12
    By Glenda J. Schmid
    When purchasing this TV - no matter what the color of the television says in the description (ex. black, silver, or any other color) - that color will only be on the face of the TV, and the rest of it will be white. If you are aware of this, then you will not be shocked or disappointed when you unpack it. This is an example of a very poor description of a TV. The TV itself is fine.

     "Great Mount at a GREAT Price!!!!" 2009-03-22
    By sylver struck (yakima valley, washington, USA)
    I bought this mount based on the positive reviews that were on here. I'm glad I listened to everybody reviewing this mount! This is a great mount, that fit perfectly on my 32" Vizio. It comes will all the necessary bolts/washers you need for various wall types and various TVs. the included instructions are straightforward and easy to understand. It took me about 30 minutes to install the mount on the wall and the brackets on the t.v.



    The wall mount is about 20 to 21 inches wide, so IT WILL fit between two standard 16" wide wall studs...The mount i received has a nice black finish and it is heavy duty.



    Also, there is about a 2 1/2 inch leeway to the sides. For example, I moved my Vizio all the way to the left side of the mount as far as it can go. Once in that position, I can move the t.v. 2 1/2 inches to the right. So, if you were to center the t.v. on the mount, you would have about an 1" or 1 1/4 inches to move each side. This was perfect for me, because i didnt want to see so the mount sticking out behind my t.v. Also, the tilt on this is easy to use and works well.



    YOU cannot tell the difference between this mount and a $100/150 mount!! I know this because my brother bought a $125 mount for his Vizio, and they look the same!! I'm definitely glad i went with this product.



    I also took one of the reviewers advice and purchased it through ERSE, who is listed under the MORE BUYING CHOICES. After shipping, i paid $42.00 total!!!! And ERSE shipped out the next day, so i got my mount fairly quickly!!!

    By Sean D (Philadelphia)
    I like laughing at friends who said they got a good deal for $125. This one works great. I have removed my 37" INSIGNIA TV many time to run different componet wires behind the TV and through the wall. This bracket stays strong and is what I expect to pay for a hidden piece of metal mounting equipment.

     "Doesn't Fit 37" Vizio" 2009-02-03
    By Steve S. (Northeast PA)
    I bought this wall mount because it claims to fit most 20"-40" tv's, but the bracket is not long enough for my new Vizio 37" LCD. Compare the length of the bracket you intend to buy with the distance between the mounting screws on the back of your tv before buying. Should be at least a few inches longer for correct fit. Otherwise, this product seems to be well made.
