The images are razor sharp, the colours are vibrant. It displays standard TV and DVD brilliantly and Hi Def in breathtaking clarity and gorgeous colour. Emma and the Abu Dahbi Grand Prix were stunning, the sharpness of the pictures almost lacerated my eyeballs. The sound is what you would expect it to be through TV speakers, though it is almost infinitely variable if you take a bit of time to set it up. If that's too much trouble put the sound through a media player. Four HMDI sockets come in handy, the rest of the stuff I do not use. I watch the set in a box room that's no more than 2 metres wide so I cannot comment on viewing from an angle. But if there is a better television set than this one God owns its patent. It makes my wife's Panasonic look wan and weedy.

- If you want streaming of music/video from your PC, then the Sony is very disappointing. The DLNA services are hopeless, unless you have Windows 7.

- Internet "widgets" are useless, no build-in web-browser!

- There's a huge number of set-up options, but no on-screen help for any of them.

- Sound from speakers is thin and weedy

- Colour isn't good unless you are facing the screen

+ Lots of connection options

Excellant product. Used Sony before. Great service from the company. Would use again

This is my fourth LCD TV and the second Sony, If viewed from the front square on the contrast is exellent sharpnes good but if you then moved to view the screen from a angle the colour goes flat as does the sharpness not at all very good if I had seen this Tv in a shop before buying it I would have kept the JVC I had
