 My first HDTV August 19, 2010

I bought this TV about 2 months ago and have had no issues with it so far. When delivered the men set it up for us and made sure it was working, what service! Easier to work with when using HDMI cables. I also bought the Sony BDP-S570 and Sony HTS-S370 later and after setting up it sure works great. The bluray player is wifi ready and a snap to set up using the given menus, had everything running in less than 30 min. The surround system is great for a small living room (15x20) but be ready for the next door neighbor to bang on the wall to let you know "a little too loud in a kind way!" So for the $1300.00 price tag (but used my Priority points so all was not out of pocket) I think I received a good value as a first time buyer. So far quality of picture is good for my eyes I see a ghost image when I view streaming videos via Netfix when the picture goes across the screne very fast but it really is not that noticeable and the bluray is a simple player to me. Remote controls are good but after all the set up I use the Surround sys remote to work all the equipement. Hope this helps. I have owned a Sony since 1972 that we sent to Grandma and finally pooped out in 2004.
GREAT SONY BRAVIA EX 500 HDTV August 2, 2010

We spent at least 2 months searching for the right television. We looked at Best Buy, Sears, Sams, WalMart and found our best deal at Amazon. The reviews for this tv were good, however the actual tv exceeded our expectations. There was a negative comment about the remote and the "chirp" sound when the tv comes on. The remote is great and we like the "chirp". The picture and sound quality is absolutely the very finest that we have seen anywhere. We have purchased Sony for at least 20 years now and this one is our finest yet. Shipping time was several days less than originally promised, the set was in pristine condition, set up was simple and easy and we were enjoying our tv within 15 minutes after we opened the box. WONDERFUL!

Before purchasing this product please do some research on this model. I personally do not own this TV but I do own a KDF-50WE655, and have an ongoing dispute with Sony. Google "Sony Optical Block problem" and you will see a Class-Action lawsuit against them for their negligence in producing their TV's. Their only compensation was a new TV at reduced cost, which equates to the consumer paying more money out of their pocket for Sony's Negligence. They obviously do not want to pay for their "great" service, so I advise anyone to avoid dumping money into a worthless piece of crap, look into the Brand Name before you buy.

The picture quality is amazing, and set up was a breeze, just as you would expect with a Sony, but other reviews have those aspects covered so I'll address something else. The main reason I got this television is because of what it looks like when it's off. It's absolutely beautiful, a work of art. The black monolithic minimalist design with a band of brushed gunmetal grey aluminum on the bottom is a perfect match for my Harman Kardon setup, as if these Sonys were just made for the current Harman Kardon lineup. The only possible drawback to this design is the sound--the bottom-facing speakers, necessary for the monolithic appearance, are fine in themselves but don't deliver quite the punch as the front-facing speakers on my older Sony Bravia, but this isn't really an issue for me since I do most of my listening through external speakers anyway.

Yea I'm a late adopter, my 27" Sony CRT finally gave up after 15 years so I wanted another Sony.
Picture is great, action is displayed smoothly, color is excellent. My only complaints and they are minor;
1. The channels are slow to tune, at least compared to my converter box. Menu display is lacking next show display, and the time.
2. Sound is pretty weak. I find myself using the stereo for sound more often then I'd like.
3. Remote control is uncomfortable to hold and tuning to specific channels is not easy.
4. The Sony ding sound when turned on was cute at first, but now it's just annoying.
That said, I'm still impressed by the picture after 3 monthes and very happy with my purchase.
