    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.

    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 :)

    I purchased this 46 inch KDL VE5 model and a 40 inch of the same model within 3 months of each other. The only complaint I have, and it’s a biggie, is that the speakers are terrible, especially with the 40 inch model. Echoing and reverberation is constant, regardless of what channel is playing. It’s easy to set up, the picture is brilliant but the audio is terrible. If I had to do it all over again I probably would buy a different brand but it’s too late to do anything now because I’m pass the short 30-day return window. I guess it’s my fault for relying on Sony’s past reputation for high-quality products, especially in the audio business.

    I generally agree with the reviews already here. This 46″ HDTV replaced a 20-year old 21″ CRT TV so needless to say I was a bit overwhelmed with the viewing experience after I got it up and running. (Unlike a previous reviewer, the delivery service Amazon used refused to deliver the TV past my garage door.) The assembly/wiring instructions provided with the TV were relatively straightforward. The only agonizing aspect of the setup was when it was searching for channels when the TV is first powered up; it took about 15 minutes. I’ve had it for about a week now and am immensely pleased with the product. It took a while to get used to watching a screen this large in my family room. I was planning on purchasing a smaller screen size, but I went with the guidelines with the product description on Amazon for 12 feet viewing distance. The HD channels available through my cable service (which provided an HDMI cable for me) look fantastic. The DVDs I’ve played look fantastic as well; I have it hooked up through the yellow Video 2 port (which from what I am told is the worst way to configure my DVD player which does support 1080p). Nevertheless, like I said it still looks great. I can’t really evaluate the sound quality as I have the TV set up through my home theater system. When I have had the volume on the TV on, it didn’t seem all that special. The TV seemed a bit pricey overall and only modestly less expensive to purchase from Amazon than from the sony.com website, but I think my investment overall was a worthy one. The Eco-friendly features were just icing on the cake as I always try and shop for energy-saving products. (And yes, I own a hybrid car too!) I would definitely recommend this TV.

    We received this set from Sony as a replacement for a previous Sony 46″ LCD that failed after 18 months. We were pleased to get a good deal as a replacement. I was really impressed with the picture quality of this set, however, we have found a serious flaw in the sound. There is a constant static sound in the background and at low levels the sound is distorted with lots of static (really bad if you are watching TV at night). I even went to Sony’s website to see if there is a software patch.

    I have been a loyal Sony fan for my life, however, I don’t know what is going on with their quality. I am not sure what we will do now, but I can’t recommend their LCD sets due to these quality issues.
