 2 years old and picture problems... Dec 02, 2009
Initially, I was impressed with this set, especially when being driven by high quality content (Blu-Ray, video games at 1080p, etc). Was less impressed with some of the broadcast HD - seemed to show a lot of artifacts at times, esp during football games.. I partially blame the quality of the broadcast, but also has something to do with TV's ability to process signal.
What I really find disappointing is that after only 2 years, the TV has a major problem when warming up. For upwards of 10 minutes on startup, the screen appears distorted, almost ghosted on the left side. eventually the picture clears up and looks normal but this should not be happening. Of course, out of warranty.. My old RCA CRT lasted 11 years before problems...
Poor quality, Sony..
Just bought another TV for downstairs. Did I buy a Sony? - nope. Panasonic plasma!
 Excellent 'No Glare' in Window Filled Room Jul 25, 2009
This TV is now over a year old and we love it as much as the day we pulled it out of the box. We had tried a 58" Samsung plazma that was beautiful, but our bank of west facing windows in bright 300+ Colorado sunny days simply did not agree with the mirror like reflective glass of plazma. I really wanted that 58" to work and have been accused of being a Sony guy opposed to a 'Sammy ?' guy. I didn't know there were those kind of people out there. This 52" Sony handles the sunny bright Colorado bank of windows incredibly well 'with absolutely no glare'...ever. Full curtains drawn or not. I would have never believed it! While I wouldn't think twice about a plazma for a 'darker' room with low light and no glare, to get those super deep blacks, this TV is breath taking, and grabs our attention with it's outstanding HD pictures. And no, I'm not a Sony guy opposed to a "Sammy" guy, whatever that is supposed to mean.

After 9 months the blacks have sever bleeding. Artifacting. Sony does nothing for warranty. Jan 17, 2009
I've owned this 52 inch LCD tv Since May 2008 from an authorized Sony dealer. Its initial quality was nothing less than spectacular. Deep blacks. No bleeding. Exceptional clarity. Breathtaking colors. It was registered for warranty the same day online with Sony's website.
Over the last three weeks, I noticed SEVERE bleeding of the blacks during any tv or movie and when it's a blank screen. I've seen an odd double blur around actors and objects (artifacting?). It does Not leave a trail like ghosting. I've tried switching all of my video/audio equipment without success.
I called Sony to come out to repair. They blew me off for three weeks. After getting tired of my 3 times a day calling, they sent a guy out. He said YES my problems were legitimate... BUT IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY! I am extremely upset at Sony and their business practice. A friend of mine has the 42" version and is beginning to show the same faults. He bought a third party warranty and got his tv repaired. Is this the beginning of SONY's fall from grace? Check their tanking stock price and see how much money they lost for fiscal year 2008.
 Nearly perfect Dec 20, 2008
Like other Sony products I have ever had (plasma TV, camcorders, cameras, laptops, etc.), this is no doubt another great one. I bought it earlier this year and everyone in my family just love it. No complaints. But it would be perfect if the P&P function could work just like my old Sony TV which allows me to watch two different TV channels at the same time instead of one TV channel and the video. Nothing's perfect, though.

Consumer Reports Says Buy Your HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
