Sony BRAVIA V-Series KDL-52V5100 52-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV, Black Reviewed by twist of 8 (Southeastern Mass.)
Satisfied Rating (6/10)
The color and sharpness on most HD channels (especially sports) is fantastic. But since my Comcast system, I can give something in 1080p yet, I wonder why I paid the extra money for it (?). I have experienced faults with the television / cable TV interface, which will be watching a HD channel (WCVB Ch 805) and the up or down to switch to another channel. What is happening is a picture forced picture effects, in which the image is compressed and pushed to the extreme left of the screen, while the right side of the screen is a picture from the same scene frozen and vibrant. I can not escape from this screen if you do not turn off the TV and turn it on. My Cable Guy tells me that he has not seen this particular problem yet because I have a new style compact cable box coupled with a brand new HDTV. Presumably, the TV I think it should present a picture in 1080p, where they can power cable is 1080i or 720p and this confusion between signal box and TV. For now I set to 720p, and I expect a call from Comcast to see if they have a large cable-style box that can solve the problem. Otherwise, the overall picture is good, sound is OK, and the time necessary for television to respond to commands is a bit 'boring, but my six children, my husband and I are really enjoying the film blu ray image and super nature and sports channels!
