What They Say - User Reviews:

I would have sent this TV back but for another review. I found the picture WAY too dark, but I'd read a review saying that this was due to the TV being shipped with Auto-Contrast turned on. On this model it's called "Ambient Sensor". Go to Menu/Settings/Picture/Ambient Sensor. Turn it off and the picture is as bright and crisp as you could want. "Ambient Sensor" is the last of the Picture options. It does not appear when Picture is first selected. It is necessary to scroll down to the end (or, equivalently, up one) to access it.

That done, I had a bright, crisp picture, but there was something still not quite right. For lack of anything else to try, I checked the settings on my L series 32" Sony HDTV that this is replacing and found that the settings were different. After setting Scene Select to General, I set this 40" TV to the settings on the 32", namely, Backlight to 8 and Picture to 90. The resulting picture is nothing short of incredible!! --Jerry W, USA--

After pretty much researching TVs to death, we purchased the Sony Bravia EX 500 and couldn't be happier. We wanted a 40" TV because it would fit nicely in our TV Armoire cabinet. I throw value into the equation, so I don't hesitate to give this 5 stars.

Highlights:
1. Crystal clear 1080p HDTV broadcast and BluRay performance.
2. The voice clarity comes through incredibly clear. I used to have to crank up the volume much higher to understand conversations on movies and TV shows.
3. The standard definition comes in much better than our old 720p HDTV, but we spend most of our time on the HDTV channels.
4. You'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between this TV and those costing twice as much for the same size. -- T. Miller, Belmont, CA --

Which Screen Size LCD TV is Best for Your Room?

Which Screen Size LCD TV is Best for Your Room?
With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With LCD TV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with LCD TVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience.

If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new LCD TV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size LCD TV you should get. -learn more-
