Standing in front of a wall of TV's, BB showing a advertising disc with maybe 480p content on it this Sony caught my eye! I looked at the Sammy LED but it wasn't what I expected (I know its the first model) The brightness was just over the top, whites actually looked to bright over everything else.
Needless to say I picked up the Sony Bravia 46" V5100! This is a replacement for a 32" in my bedroom, so I hurried home to make the swap!
Out of the box this TV looks amazing even off! I love the black, not a big fan of these new sets with "color" but that's just me!
I pulled this beast out of the box and mounted the wall bracket hardware to the back. Hoisted it up onto the wall and made the connections (Xbox 360/HDMI)
I pressed the power button and WOW! The colors on even the initial screen were just gorgeous! I went thru a few settings but mainly just wanted to see what she could do. I fired up Finding Nemo, and was blown away, the colors are just insane...literally they pop off the screen. I followed this up with a quick game of COD4 which also to no surprise looked amazing!
Everything is razor sharp right out of the box, hopefully tonight I'll get a chance to run a good calibration and setup but I'm really amazed at the quality of this TV!
I cant wait to see a Blu Ray player connected to this set...I can only imagine how beautiful it will be (I was tempted to pull the one out of the living room but it was getting late)
The sound is well...TV sound, and I never buy a new TV based on its speakers. For normal everyday listening they do sound pretty nice, even at higher levels...in fact the simulated surround sound is pretty good on HD broadcasts (over air) I did notice it doesn't handle the surround sound on movies and games as well but that's to be expected!
If your looking for an excellent TV at an excellent price this is the way to go! I'm gonna post any problems here after tonight's setup and more in depth use...somehow I don't think ill have much to type!
