Customer Review: I nearly sent this TV back to Amazon
I bought this TV a couple of months ago but have held off reviewing it until my issues with it were resolved. The TV arrived fairly quickly and it certainly looks good. The colours are great and it’s really easy to use - but my issue was over the picture quality.
I can’t easily describe the problem I was having. Non-HD souces such as ordinary DVD’s and TV did not produce a particularly great image quality. This I suppose wasn’t a huge surprise but did disappoint. The biggest issue seeing dark, coloured or textured areas of the screen moving in the opposite direction to the movement of the camera - especially on shots with hand held cameras. It was very odd and very off-putting. I contacted Sony, who were very good but had no idea what I was referring to, and neither did my local Sony Centre.
Amazon were good and said they were prepared to refund me if I returned the TV. However, I dragged my heels over this as it’s just such a pain to return such a large item and be without a TV until I bought another one (I had got rid of my previois TV by this point).
Then my old Sony DVD recorder started to misbehave, so I bought a Sony RDRGX350B DVD Recorder with upscaling. I also bought an HDMI cable to attach the DVD player to the TV - and this has solved my problem!! The wonky imaging has gone and there is a definite difference in DVD image quality - Disney’s Cars looks so good, it’s hard to imagine how true HD DVD could improve upon it!!!
I now really like this TV and would recommend it, good for the price, great colours and looks great when using an HD-like source. The last thing I need to do now is actually try a proper HD source!
Customer Review: Absolutely Brilliant!!!!
Bought this TV at Christmas - the picture is absolutely brilliant and so is the sound quality. I turned up the volume to max and there was no distortion at all. Linked up to my Sony Home Theatre System - no need to go to the cinema ever again.
The set up, as mentioned in previous review, is so simple - it does it all for you when you first switch it on.
Bought from Argos for ?499 - can’t go wrong. If you want to become future proofed, this is the TV to get - even includes built in Freeview, HDMI sockets, Blu Ray socket - the works!!!!
