 Solid matte screen. Sharp picture but has a terrible color shifting bug. August 7, 2010
Chris (Chattanooga, Tennessee USA)
I'll keep it short. The image is sharp. The non-glossy screen is way nicer than Samsung's. The sound is decent for a flat-panel, although still don't expect any miracles. The TV has a huge software/firmware glitch though and it really does detract from the enjoyment. There is something wrong with auto white balance control. It shifts like crazy during certain shows or scenes. Anything with a solid blue background such as Colbert report or anything Fox News makes the thing go crazy. I have the latest and greatest firmware and it does not correct the issue. Sony is aware and you can see lots of videos on YouTube and read about it. It really makes the skin tones go nuts. I've tried adjusting the ACE and other recommended solutions. It is annoying, but tolerable if you can get the TV for the right price. Like many others, I was very annoyed at the glare from the Samsung which is what drove me to go Sony. In retrospect, I wish I would have gotten the Samsung.
 Audio Problems July 8, 2010
Ross Richardson
Within days of purchase I began having audio dropouts when changing channels. I checked the reviews here and found many others with same problem. I contacted Sony technical support for advice. Their response was that there are no known problems with this model, they do not pay attention to reviews made on other websites and they gave me a link for a fix that absolutely nothing to do with the problem I described to them.

i own this lcd since december 2009. the picture quality is great but i hate the audio output because it's fixed audio, not variable. i have a klipsch promedia 2.1 hooked up to it, i can't adjust the volume with the sony remote. i have to physically walk up to my speakers to change the audio. i also lost steady sound option, so the volume dynamic is pretty annoying. i am never buying sony tv again. buy samsung instead! they're tv is better in every respect.
Be Careful When Purchasing This Item April 30, 2010

We purchased this TV in Nov, 2009 and hooked it up using the HDMI cables. The set worked great for a few days and then starting losing the sound and picture. Assuming it was our local cable companies issue we contacted them. Five months and six cable boxes later the cable company informed us there was nothing more they could do and to contact Sony which we did. Sony immediately set up an in home service call. The repair tech called to confirm and told us they are aware of the problem and know exactly what's causing it. A BM3? board has been ordered. Why hasn't Sony contacted the consumer about the issue? In the meatime the set is hooked up to component cables, 5 cables total, just to view the TV in HD and it works fine. One of the reasons we purchased it was for the HDMI advantage and Sony's reputaion. Be very careful when purchasing this product. We are extremely dissappointed.
 Firmware update to correct issues April 17, 2010

I've had 2 of these TVs since december 2009. One of the tv had the HDMI input fail and not knowing there was a firmware update, had it returned and bestbuy replaced it with the kdl-46ex500. Essential the same TV just updated for 2010 with a swivel base, a detachable power cord and more jpeg, mp4, mp3 (etc..) support. But, it lacks a clock. Now the second tv's HDMI's input failed and after an hour of trouble shooting, I unplugged the tv and then plugged it back it and it basically rebooted tv and cleared the issue. After some research, I see there is a firmware update available from sony. You can call and have them send it to you or download it and do it yourself. The customer support rep also mentioned that there is another update beyond that (E3 version) but only if the current update fails to correct your issues. Check sonystyle, Here's the link [...] Other than this, great TV for the price got it black friday from sonystyle with a 120gb ps3 for $1000
