Slawomir Stepniewski:
Wow you are an idiot. Let me help you get dressed here....
First off, if you are in the menu why are you worried about the pic behind it? Sony and Samsung have the best pic quality in non-HD, so I would love to see if you got ohhh an LG or HP LCD instead, you would REALLY have something to complain about.
That banner problem you complained about, simply turn off that feature on the TV, if you have HD-Service, it's a non issue anyways.
The guide button was not meant to be a cable guide, it refers to the menu guide of the TV itself... use some common sense would ya?
"No EPG (electronic program guide) - if you want use free-to-air broadcast, SONY TV sets are unable to take advantage of the programming information sent by stations".... hmmm well I am not sure if you are stupid or just that irresponsible to post an untrue remark such as this. Yes it does take advantage of over the air descriptions of channels, your stations must not broadcast them.
Second, if you want a usb hookup/memory card reader get a PS3 to go with your TV, TV's aren't meant to be used as a computer, that's the some as complaining that my computer monitor here doesn't microwave my dinner.......
Thirdly, if you do that many pics, get a PS3 and setup a Media Server on your computer and look at your pics from your PS3 on your TV from the media server, it's not that complicated.
Fourthly, cloudy screen?? There must be somthing wrong with yours since mine is not even close to being cloudy.
"Image processing could be better - surprisingly, my external ATSC tuner (HD3150PLUS) that I used for almost for a year with an old CRT TV produces better images on this TV (via HDMI) than the built-in tuner. The responsiveness of the external tuner is also faster so I would use it instead"... umm of course your dedicated box will work better, but since it's built in, you don't have to pay for quite a bit of extra digital channels that you would not normally get with basic cable without a tuner. AKA some digital cable without paying for it.
There is only one coax input for the TV, if you need to hookup an antennea as well as cable, get yourself a A/B switch they are like 10 bucks, who cares?!
If hooking up the cable for your laptop to your TV is such a pain, then leave the cord plugged in the back and tuck it away when you don't use it, how complicated is that?
1080p is by definition a digital signal soooooo being that SVGA cable is analog that doesn't make much sense now does it? In other words, it is not possible with an analog SVGA cable to carry a 1080p digital signal, so your compaint isn't about the TV, its about the capability/limitations of SVGA. Wow, do some homework would ya?
The remote is cheap.. hmm.. ok, what did you expect? It's a dedicated remote for the TV aka a factory remote. Who uses the original remote with their TV on a daily basis? I know I don't, yes maybe every now and then to do some tweaking, but really that's about it.
Everyone needs to get a universal remote anyways.
If SONY had included a universal remote, you would still complain that it doesn't operate or you can't find the code to your LITE-ON shing shong DVD player that no one has ever heard of before or something else to complain about.
The bottom line here folks is to disregard Slawomir Stepniewski review as ameatuer and unqualified.
In reference to non-HD sources, yes of course it's not going to look as good as HD, not even close. But let's face it, HD QUICKLY spoils you.
The good news is if you play your regular DVD's on an upscaler DVD player or PS3 for that matter, they will look really good as long as the movie is a Widescreen DVD. Granted not as good as HD or BluRay, but damn close, and I would venture to say if you are not used to "larger televisions" and are used to a 27" SD tv, you will find yourself rediscovering enjoyment with your regular DVD's even more as long as you play them on an upscaler or PS3.
I have had this TV for several weeks now and couldn't be happier with it. I sort of wish for the 120Hz XBR's for fast action stuff, but hey, I didn't want to spend 2 grand or more for that matter on a TV.
For the features, price, pic quality, I give this TV a 5 out of 5 considering I got it brand new from Amazon.com through http://www.jr.com and payed only $999 for it plus $115 for shipping, 1080P for $999 from SONY? Where do I sign!!!???
Nuff said!! |
