  1. Sweet Sony

    I purchased this SONY HDTV for two reasons: 1-to watch while working out on my new treadmill in the bedroom, the time really passes by; and 2-as a backup in the event one of our other TVs or PC monitors should terminate themselves before their time...

    This is a nice TV, great for general use for the most part. The one issue that it fails at, and on epic proportions, is the internal computer. I have a recurring problem with two different bravias, but I'm only writing the review for this one. The entire screen will dim when a dark scene is present. If you're watching Star Wars and the screen is showing a picture of "space", the dark picture will cause the tv to dim the entire screen. You've no idea how maddening this... Read more
