I bought this system last week before they started calling it \\"Bravia\\".  I have standard (not HD) cable. <br /> <br />The picture is absolutely gorgeous right of the box! I have not felt any urge at all to try to tweak the color balance.  It does come with three \\"picture mode\\" options (vivid, standard, pro) which I did change from the default setting. <br /> <br />The Sony switches channels very quickly making channel hopping convenient, and the remote has a Jump button to quickly go between two channels. <br /> <br />My initial plan was to place this near my computer and use it as a second monitor during commericals, however switching between video inputs is rather slow so I gave up on that idea.  You have to either cycle forward through all 6 external inputs, or use the WEGA Gate (on-screen menus) to go directly to the input -- both approaches are somewhat awkward. <br /> <br />It would have been extremely nice to get around the video input switching awkwardness if you could just open a second window to view/swap another external input, but there is no support for that. <br /> <br />Not mentioned in the product description is that the box also contains 5-foot VGA cable for hooking into a computer and a coax cable for standard CATV use.
