Customer reviews

This TV should not be SONY
I am using sony since 10 years and after purchasing my KDL-46s2010 then I changed my mind.

I purchased this TV MAy 17, 2007. After using 3 months I am seeing the alien picture on the screen. The color is displaying only in green,, Not able to see clear picture on the screen. Contacted sony and the customer service was great. They arranged local specialist to take a look. They are still working on it ( 4 weeks as of now) i am still waitng to fix the issue from Sony.

it has only one HDMI port; which means, you can either get HD reception from your Cable or Satellite antenna, or your DVD player, or Camcorder. To get around it, you have to unhook one, and hook the other one, every time; it is very inconviniant and unpleasant.

The picture quality is OK, not that great I compare with Samsung or Sharp..Sharp and Samsung provide much better quality, brightness, and speed. the TV freezes; or a big portion of screen turns into Chess type squares with fuzzy colors.

Final conclusion.. SONY is junk.. I would not recommend this to anyone

“Don’t pay big bux for 1080p while this one is still available!”
Wow! I thought it looked good in the store, but when I got it home….!

While Sony and Samsung lead the field right now, you can forget the 1080p hype. This thing is amazing! Pick one up if you find it at a good price because it will be phased out, no doubt. Nothing to add that hasn’t already been said, except to say that if you take the time to tweak it, I cannot image a finer picture on digital HD. My easy chair is about 12 feet away, and this is just about the perfect size. SD channels are not quite as good as on old fashioned TV, but the future will probably take care of that. Again, if you’re debating paying the extra money for 1080p, right now, forget it. This is so sharp and bright LOTR on upconverted DVD will make you dizzy!

Think before you buy SONY
I have been a faithful SONY customer all my life (TV, Computer, Laptop, Camera, Home Theatre, etc) until I bought my latest KDL-46S2000; then things changed.

For starter, it has only one HDMI port; which means, you can either get HD reception from your Cable or Satellite antenna, or your DVD player, or Camcorder. To get around it, you have to unhook one, and hook the other one, every time; it is very inconviniant and unpleasant.

The picture quality is OK, but I compare that to my Sony Tube TV, and not with similar LCD HD TV’s in the same price range; if compared with others, Panasonic and Samsung provide much better quality, brightness, and speed. Speed? Yes, speed. When you watch an action movie, sports, or any fast moving TV program, the TV freezes; or a big portion of screen turns into Chess type squares with fuzzy colors.

I know I have been a loyal customer of SONY, but looking at this product, I know I would have had a much better TV if I were looking at other brands. And that’s what I will do the next time I buy any electronic product.

Best buy for immediate future
The screen glare of plasma TVs and their much higher power consumption pushed us toward LCDs. The question then became whether to go with 720p or 1080p. With a 46″ screen at an average viewing distance of 9-10′, it is difficult to see much difference between the two. In addition, we don’t intend to purchase an HD DVD player and HD broadcasts will be 720p for the foreseeable future. By the time a DVD standard is established and broadcast resolution increases to 1080p, the prices and features of 1080p models will improve. We have been very impressed with the quality of HD broadcasts on this TV and the remote control is very easy to use. At this point in the evolution of HD broadcasting, this TV cannot be beat.

Great Value for HDTV
I looked at the 1080i sets from Samsung and Sony, but realized that I would not get any benefit from 1080 over the 720i sets that sell for hundreds less. HD TV signals today are all 720i and current gen DVDs can be up converted to 720i. But only the next gen DVDs (blue ray, etc.) can use the 1080 resolution. It may be years until the next gen format war is resolved, so there really isn’t a practical reason to go for the 1080 sets.

I looked long and hard at the Sony 46S2010 versus the Samsung LNS4692 720i set. Both have excellent reviews and look great in a showroom. The way I decided on the Sony was to go to a TV showroom and find the two side by side. Then I adjusted both sets to normal color saturation (out of the box, both are set to “Vivid,” which stands out in the showroom but looks stupid in your living room). After those adjsutments were made, I found the Sony to be more realistic in skin tone colors and had less “clay face.” You really can’t go wrong with either set though.

One disadvantage of the Sony to consider is that it has only one HDMI input. This would be a problem if you have a cable box with HDMI output and you also want to connect an upconvert DVD player which requires HDMI out. If you are in that situation, go for the Samsung which has two HDMI inputs.
