This is my first HD TV. After researching for about a month, I have compared Samsung, Sharp, Toshiba, and finally chose this Sony. All these TVs are top-rated and have great picture quality, but what pushed me to the Sony were 3 things:

1. Sound - Sony is the only model with a sound bar in the front which produces better sounds than other brands.
2. Look - Sony has a silver sound bar and a small space with glass underneath the LCD screen. It just looks better than most of the other brands that feature all black frames.
3. Reliability - I am basing this on past experience. My last 2 TVs were both Sony. They each lasted over 12 years. In fact both are still working today. I expect this Sony HD TV to be just as reliable.

Although Sony TVs are a bit more expensive than the other brands, I think the 3 factors above justified the premium. An added bonus was the delivery from Amazon - I ordered this TV on Thursday night and it was delivered and set up in my house on Saturday afternoon!! I guess I got lucky because I live close to an Amazon warehouse where they have the TV in stock. Anyway, it was a pleasant surprise.

We love this TV. We debated about spending more $$$ to get a 120Hz version, but decided we couldnt really tell much difference. We watch action movies on cable and DVD and dont really notice any motion blur. However, admittedly we do not watch much sports which would probably be the worst case for motion blur. I am normally very critical of any display artifacts, but we dont see any hint of them with this TV.
All in All a great purchase

We recently ordered a 46" Sony Bravia from Amazon. Service was amazing - actually arrived exactly when Amazon said it would, undamaged. Later ordered a remote for it, which arrived by FexEx the next day! Go, Amazon!!!

This was my first HD purchase and we have been very happy with it. Delivered on-time. Easy to set up. Great picture and clarity even during the day light. We have hooked up to surround sound and watching movies and HD cable channels are totally different experience. I know some people believe that you won't be able to tell a difference between HD and regular TV - YOU CAN! It's a totally different TV watching experience. You'd never want to go back.

We just received this tv and it is wonderful. Granted, this is our first HDTV, but we are awestruck by the color saturation and the clarity. Better yet, the price was right. We got it for $1419 with free shipping. It arrived in less than a week.
