Sony Bravia KDL-46S2000 46-Inch Flat Panel LCD HDTV
One fantastic TV
I just finished my new media room. I'm not a gadjet guy, but I did some real shopping for this purchase. I ordered my 46 Bravia from Amazon and saved a bundle, it's my first internet purchase. My son insisted on Amazon, even after I found what looked like better prices on other sites, until I got the real delivered total. My set was a few days late. Tracking my purchase, I realized something was wrong, one call to Eagle found it sitting in Huntsville, they loaded it on a van and dilivered it later the same day in Birmingham. Just installed, the picture was outstanding right out of the box. I used the plugs provided from my cable company, I honestly believe all the hype over monster cables and other brands are just hype, a view the Charter technician passed on who installed it and had me return the expencive cables I purchased. Get one important thing: The BIG difference between the picture on this set and a plasma, is the picture is FANTASTIC even when viewing non HD stations. My girlfriend had just purchased the Samsung 42 plasma, and in non HD viewing the two are not even close, The LCD Bravia is far better, something you wont appreciate until you realize how often your not viewing in HD. The faces are clear and colors are sharp and bright, and on a plasma they are blurry. When shopping at a retail store, you are not getting to see the difference because everything is shown in HD..Believe me, it really matters. I'm adding a computer to my Sony TV for downloading music wirelessly from my sofa. I happen to have enough space behind my wall to have my 36 inch floor standing Klipsch speakers installed flush mounted, along with a new center channel, awesome looking and sound unlike anything I could have imagined, even high quality in wall speakers dont come close. Very deep, rich, alive sound. I found an antique \\"Victrola\\" hand cranked record player to place under the TV and house all my electronics out of sight, pretty cool setup! Good luck with your search, Jeff in Birmingham Al.
