The image of the Sony has convinced us. Razor sharp (especially of course in HD), crystal clear, dark images come out very well, natural colors: what more could you want? Without the technical specifications to know exactly the impression is top class.
The sound quality is better than expected, but still a bit thin. There was ahead of our old tube to length. For movies, one should use a home cinema. A friend has an equally large LED model from Samsung, whose sound far less convinced.
We use the built-in satellite receiver. We have a dual LNB to switch between Astra and Hotbird. This can be configured well. It has memory locations for up to 4 different satellites. The transmitter can be arranged in the desired order.
Until we get that, however, passed quite a while. The manual is in fact kept extremely scarce and could be understandable. For all essential referenced onboard video manual, through their menu structure you have to through torture; and man can not read then, try, more common as in paper form. Thick minus point.
The device looks outrageously good - the piano finish is very elegant, but is also sensitive to fingerprints. The screen is matte, so you do not have to struggle with reflections.
We would definitely buy this TV again and would recommend it. The price is totally OK for such a device!
