Sony's 3D Dreadnaught

I first want to say that I based much of my decision to buy the XBR-52LX900 on my past experience with Sony HDTV's and the research I did on the internet (especially from the tests done by [...]). I've paced the big electronic stores and compared many brands and technologies firsthand in the past 5 years and try to make the best decisions I can for what's right for me. Do all the research you can before you buy any TV and try to see TV's in person before you make any decision.
I've had my LX900 now for 4 days and I can say that it is a mammoth of technology. With so many features, you can get lost and even side tracked with all the settings and features you can meddle with. I can't count how much personal time I've personally lost to this glowing marvel. I got my LX900 to replace my XBR4, which I thought was pretty good at the time when I purchased it 3 years ago and should be better than my XBR9 that I bought earlier this year. First impressions were the size and design. It's huge, but very thin and quite an elegant, angled creature. I had contemplated the HX909 with the full LED and even the 8000 series Samsung, but decided to go with the LX900 since it's slimmer and comes with the 3D glasses as well as a built-in 3D emitter and WiFi. The HX909 does have a slightly better picture since it achieves deeper blacks due to full LED lighting, but the LX900 touches off an explosion of LEDs's to achieve a brighter picture, so I think the LX900 is just a step behind the HX909 visually in terms of contrast ratio. Right out of the box I wasn't that satisfied with the picture and kept playing with the settings (especially the motion flow). I finally went to [...] and used their "calibrated" settings which really optimized the picture and cleared it up significantly. You really have to come to terms with the fact that source video is everything when it comes to the picture on HDTV's no matter what settings you choose. The colors on the LX900 are really good and it nearly blinds you with the whites that it can display. However, the screen does glow too much in the deepest blacks with splotches of light on the sides of the screen due to it being an edge-lit LED screen and not full LED with localized dimming which lets a tiny bit of light bleed through. However, my blu-ray 1080P source from the PS3 looks impeccable on this behemoth! HD cable channels are pretty sharp, but anything below that is a bit too cluttered. Sadly, I do get excessive judder on fast motion and I'm trying to hold off on tweaking the motion flow since it seemed to degrade the brightness of the screen and have an overall negative impact on the image (something that an elite HDTV shouldn't be doing). There's a "theater mode" on the remote that can benefit the picture of some video sources more than others when you engage it. Some of the signals would get very washed out and grainy, the theater mode helped settle the picture back into a nice soft texture and clear the image up in many cases. Then there's that little 3D button at the top of the remote. Here's where things really heated up! You power up the glasses with a single button, hit the "3D" button on the remote, and poof, any image on the screen is converted to 3D! My first experience was "humph", but that was until I found the 3D settings. The TV default to a "medium" setting in the 3D effect. When I punched it up to high and set the glasses to auto darkness, you really got the feeling that you were looking through a window to the world (something much like looking through an old viewmaster). I unconverted some football, racing, tennis, and golf - which is pretty neat. When I put in "Planet Earth" or any Blu-Ray 1080P source, it really got deep, clear, and started popping out inside the TV! I figured only 3D on a Blu-ray could perform a decent 3D effect, but the LX900 proved me wrong! Since then, I've been re-watching all of my Blu-ray media again in 3D - it really is completely different in 3D. The 3D is really good on the LX900, but I know that it wouldn't look that great without the crisp details and color that it serves up even before you convert it to 3D. I was truly floored when it converted my personal photos into 3D from my PS3! I can't wait to get the update to my PS3 to play 3D Blu-ray in September. The remote really is a stand out also. I know that sounds ridiculous, I thought the same thing reading other reviews that went on about the remote. I fully understood what they were talking about when I actually got to play with this thing first hand. There's no battery door to break or lose when you pop it off. Instead, the whole bottom of the remote is a sliding sleeve that moves forward to expose the battery compartment (pretty slick). You can engage widgets and the streaming video over the internet with the press of dedicated buttons (there are plenty of buttons dedicated to one function) as well as navigate the xcross media bar and pull up any settings. The streaming video channels like YouTube and How To TV are pretty neat, but most of the videos are really all sub-par standard definition which looks badly muddled as you could expect. Amazon HD video and Netflix look very good and I have had no buffering problems at all with my WiFi streaming that content. What I can't understand is why there are so many movie services that do pretty much the same thing as the other. Netflix or Amazon should be all you need for movie service. Same with Slacker radio and Pandora, they do pretty much the same thing, no? The widgets are okay, but they really function way too slow and have a clunky feel to them. There's not a lot of variety except for the typical Yahoo and Facebook widgets and I can't stress here how long they take to load. My computer pulls these up quicker and they function much better with a computer and a keyboard. I hope the future holds the integration of app support like the apple store and the android marketplace - are you listening Sony? I am very dismayed by the built-in speakers on this TV, they really sound "tinny" and cheap. I have played with the sound settings trying to get something decent out of them, but for now I have had no success in improving this at all. The i-manual doesn't really give me any help on this either, but I hope to be able to correct this in the future. Since I have it hooked up to my theater system (which sounds outstanding), this is not a problem yet. That's another thing that I don't like about the LX900. It comes with no physical manual. You have to press the button on the remote that's dedicated for the "i-manual" so that it can pull it up off the net. Navigating the manual is again slow and clumsy. They could have used one branch of tree pulp to manufacture and include a printed manual which would be a big improvement over the i-manual.
So, was this TV worth the price that Sony wants for it? I'd say no. This is why I only gave 4 stars for it. It's pretty nice to have built in WiFi, 3D emitter, and include 2 pairs of glasses, but for the price it should be a full LED design and really "wow" you with a flawless picture. Then again, the slim monolithic design of the LX900 is the trade-off where you have to make the call. It's a decision between full LED and edge-lit LED or thicker versus thinner. Since my picture is still one of the best looking pictures I've seen (along with the eye popping 3D effects), I am pretty happy with my monster. The widgets and streaming media really weren't very impressive. I would have to say that it's a toss-up between the LX900 and the HX909 (might have got the HX909 if they threw in their 3D package and a WiFi dongle), but since the LX900 is supposed to be their flagship model I chose the LX900. You might even consider the Samsung 8000 series, since they're cheaper. But, I've found that there's something about the Sony (must be the processor) that makes them just a hint more clear to me when they're side by side with the Samsungs and an identical 1080P source. At any rate, I'd let prices settle at least $900 dollars less before buying one a Sony or wait for the next generation in a year or so.

Sony BRAVIA VES 46inch HD TV Review

This baby worked perfectly right out of the box. I didn't have to make any color adjustments at all. I was also impressed with the delivery arranged by Amazon. The delivery man stayed with me as we removed the set from the box, inspected it for damages, and made sure the set powered up. He even helped me move the set to the bedroom. This was a gift to my wife, and she loves the picture quality, as do I. I'm seriously considering buying another, to replace a large screen projection set that has nothing wrong with it. I connected the Sony to a stereo system, but we rarely use it. The internal speakers work just fine. You can't go wrong with this Sony.

Watch out.......

Be warned. This TV has a problem with the motherboard. The USB patch they send you to correct the various issues, does not work. I purchased two of them and luckily was able to return them for a full refund. The sound drops out, the video signal drops out, the screen flashes and the patch made the picture blurry. I ended up purchasing two Samsung LED TV's which are just great for the same price I paid for the two Sony's. You don't need these problems after spending a couple of grand thinking you are getting a quality product. I cannot stress to you more, stay away from these TV's no matter the price.

Good TV with some nice features.

I have had this tv for about a month and i would have to say that i am pleased with my purchase.
The presence sensor is a nice feature to the tv however, the angles the sensor uses are not very good at times especially when you are watching the tv from the sides and not directly in front of the set. At times while watching HD the sound will sputter by cutting off and on, for this i change the channel and come back to the sound restored. I don't know if there is any updates using a USB for this particular set to fix any problems, other than that a good set, with the 120hz making a nice difference to watching movies however, it does make CGI movies look very computer animated.

I Love this TV

This is the forth Sony TV I have purchased in the past 20 years and all four have been exceptional for both picture and sound quality. I have had this one for a little over a week now and the picture is amazing. I can't wait until DirecTV gets to the house this week to hook up the High Def. I may not leave the couch, EVER!

My first HDTV :)

This is a great TV.

I bought this as a bundle deal with PS3 slim a month ago and I am loving it so far. This is my first HDTV.
Picture Quality is good.I got some calibration settings from CNET, after adjusting to those settings my TV got the best color,contrast. Now it is simply life like.You have a setting called 'theatre' where it smooths the picture.
According to specifications Sony LCD 46 inches uses a max of 160 watts.

This TV got some eco-friendly features which I think might be a Sony's publicity factors.

This TV got 4 HDMI outputs.One of the cool feature is you can use TV remote to control PS3 but please note you need to use HDMI cable.And another cool feature is TV will automatically detect if you have something connected to input and all other will not be highlighted.so when you want select you don't have to scroll all of them.
Another impressive feature is sound, I thought the sound will be very poor but it is not bad as I thought.It can easily manage a large room.You can live with it if you are tight on budget for buying home theater system.

What I don't like:
None

Overall, this is a great tv and I defnitely recommend it.

UPDATE - 3/3/2010
I am thoroughly enjoying it. It is one of my best buy :)
