In addition, BRAVIA V-Series HDTVs use proprietary Image Blur Reduction technology to further enhance the picture for even better performance. The HDTVs also feature BRAVIA Engine 2 technology, which uses exclusive Sony algorithms to reduce visual noise and sharpen and enhance an already-striking dynamic contrast ratio. Additionally, they include seven versatile HD connections to ensure you get impressive image quality from all your HD components. Take advantage of four HDMI inputs, component and composite inputs, and a PC input, as well as a USB input that lets you play audio files from USB storage devices, or connect a compatible camera to your HDTV for a quick and easy slide show. Sony knows your home theater set-up doesn't stop with your HDTV, which is why the BRAVIA V-Series HDTVs are compatible with BRAVIA Link Modules -- including the BRAVIA Wireless Link, BRAVIA DVD Link, and BRAVIA Input Link Modules (all sold separately). The HDTVs also support BRAVIA SyncTM technology so you can control all of your compatible devices with a single remote. And all BRAVIA HDTVs exceed ENERGY STAR 3.0 requirements for in-use and stand-by power consumption, meaning you don't need a lot of power to get a lot of performance.

We knew we wanted this TV and just set out to find the best deal we could. ABC Warehouse and Best Buy were within $50 of each other. This TV on Amazon was $300 less. It seemed too good to be true and we were hesitant. I don't know anyone who has ordered such a large item from Amazon and have heard it's hard to get anyone on the phone from Amazon. But I found the number if you have questions about electronics. I called and spoke to a nice and friendly gentleman who answered all my questions about the warranty, delivery and purchasing. After reading other reviews too and after speaking with this guy I went ahead with the purchase. I watched the tracking of the TV for a few days and as described, the delivery company called me up to say the TV could be delivered tomorrow to us (Friday) or Monday and gave me a 4 hr window. So the next day, towards the end of the 4 hr window, but still within it, two professional deliverymen arrived and brought in our TV. They unpackaged the TV and they even set it up with our new HDMI cable and new HD Directv receiver. I was told they wouldn't set it up, just plug it in to make sure it worked. I was very impressed with the ease of purchase, the fast (it came earlier than expected) and easy delivery. I would recommend buying a large TV from Amazon. My husband said at one point he thought the sound from the TV had some static but it seems to be an isolated incident. The TV is awesome and the picture is amazing. The only downside is that the price is always dropping. It was like $70 less the day after we ordered the TV, but that's to be expected with electronics!......

I was torn between ordering this Sony, and a similar equally highly rated Samsung LN52B630, but was leaning toward the Sony because the set was going in a room with several windows so reflection was a consideration. The Sony screen had a satin finish instead of the Samsung's high gloss. Several on-line reviewers had noted that the reflective surface of the Samsung was a problem. When Amazon.com offered the TV for several hundred less than the best price I could find on the Samsung, it was a no brainer. The free shipping and no sales tax clinched the deal. And I didn't have to go to Best Buy and have some sales person pressure me to buy some grossly overpriced cables. I ordered this TV Monday, July 20, 2009 and received it Friday morning, July 24. I received a call Thursday from the delivery service, and another call from the driver Friday morning, to verify that I would be at home to accept the TV. The set was delivered by the driver and an assistant, placed where I requested, and removed from the box. The driver asked if I wanted the box and packing removed, which was great for me. The overall experience could not have been more positive. The TV itself is amazing. High-def cable content looks almost 3D. As would be expected the picture is slightly less intense than my old 34" Sony HD CRT bought in 2004, and the sound from the TV without external speakers is somewhat lower quality. But that old monster weighed 175 pounds, and probably used several times more energy. This TV will be the perfect centerpiece for my home theater. I strongly recommend this television and Amazon.com. ......

I received this tv one week ago from Amazon's delivery service and it is a beautiful tv and the picture is awesome! Problem is, when I turn it on in the morning or when it has been sitting for more than a couple of hours turned off and turn it on, there is no sound? I have to turn it off & on several times before the sound kicks in. I have contacted Amazon several times and they tell me that I have to contact Sony and trouble shoot the problem with them myself! And I have to get a case number from Sony to prove that I contacted them. This is ridiculous and insulting to think that I spent this kind of money on a product from Amazon and one week into it, I have a problem with the tv having a defect and I'm supposed to contact Sony and take time out of my day doing so, sitting on hold, waiting for a repairman to come out at his convenience? Amazon should replce this tv at once! I'm very dissapointed in Amazon on the way their handling this situation and would urge anyone thinking about buying this tv to think about this first... Revise: 7/27/09 Amazon is sending me a new Sony BRAVIA V-SERIES KDL-525100 today after talking with a Sony rep for 45 minutes this morning and troubleshooting the sound problem, they determined in fact the tv is defective. I will keep my fingers crossed that this one performs without any problems.......

We bought this TV a couple of weeks ago, and the picture is beautiful. We love the look of the TV, the colors etc. but this past week we have been having problems with the sound. When we turn the TV "ON", sometimes there is no sound. Our only solution is to turn the TV "OFF" then back "ON" again, and the sound is there. Once "ON" we don't have any further problems with the sound. Since this problem has occured several times now, we called Sears and they are going to replace it with a brand new TV. Hopefully, this isn't a known problem with this particular model.......

I just wanted to give my experience with the price recent price fluctuations. I had been thinking of purchasing this unit (KDL-52V5100), and when I saw it drop to $1499, I bought it. Since then there have been 2 price increases. However, I want to make it clear that Amazon has never asked me to pay anything additional. I had been promised a delivery date of Friday, and when it changed to Tuesday (4 days later), I wrote to Amazon, and they gave me a credit to compensate me. While I understand some frustration with the price fluctuations, Amazon has been very good to work with in my experience, and I believe they are just responding to market conditions, just like the airline industry does with its pricing. The moral of all this is that if you are ready to buy, and the price is right, then don't wait. I will add to this review if I don't receive the product in a timely fashion, or if it has some problem; otherwise, I am happy with Amazon, and will buy from them in the future.......
