 Great TV February 22, 2008

This television is a great example of Sony's quality. The 36" set is big and heavy (approx. 220 lbs), but once installed the picture and sound quality are impressive. The color is accurate, and the set has several picture settings such as movie and sports which help tweak the picture to what is being watched. What is especially surprising is the superior sound quality from the two side speakers. I have the television hooked up to a component audio system, and in many cases, the TV's audio is as good as the component stereo's output, with the exception of a deeper and more resonant bass.
This television has an analog tuner so it will not receive over-the-air signals when the conversion occurs in 2009, but it will continue to work perfectly for cable TV.
I highly recommend this set. Probably all of these are now on the used market, but a well-cared-for model should be a great investment.

This is a wonderful TV, except for its corners. The day it was delivered, there was a greenish tint visible in the lower left corner when lighter colors were on the screen. I finally contacted Sony about it and they put me in contact with a local TV repair shop to take care of the problem, free of charge since it was still under waranty. They came out, put some magnets somewhere on the inside of the TV, and the discoloration is not as severe, but still visible They told me that the corners of flat screen TVs often have color problems.Overall, it looks nice but is not as perfect as it should be for the high cost. Be prepared for a possibly incurable imperfection
No Closed Caption on mute January 2, 2004

Great 36" flat glass TV except for a few things. When I mute, it doesn't turn on closed captioning. It doesn't preserve video mode or 16:9 setting per input, or even for inputs vs internal tuner. And it has component inputs, but it can't do progressive display.
