GREAT TV for the money!
Written By GSMetal, Wisconsin on Monday, May 07, 2007

I've had my eye on this unit for about 6 months and I finally had to pull the trigger on buying it due to the recent price drop.

I've had it for about a week and I WOULD purchase this same model again. At first I thought I would regret having only 1 HDMI input port but I hooked up the component cables to see if I could tell the difference and I cannot . If you're hooking up via HMDI or Component you won't be able to tell the difference.

HD programming is spectacular while the analog channels come out unbelievably poor - no suprise there but you should make sure you can get HD programs.

I love the matte finish around the screen so no reflections from my outside windows. Most HDTV have this "Piano black" finish and I personally find it distracting. The colors on the 2010 are spectacular and I find myself watching HD programs I wouldn't normally watch. The first night I was watch a basketball game on ESPNHD and the color saturation hurt my eyes...amazing is really the only word.

The only complaint I have with the TV is that switching inputs seems to take longer than it should when you press the TV/VIDEO button.

Push the button.................................VIDEO 1.
Push the button.................................VIDEO 2.

It just seems to take too long to flip through this.

Otherwise the TV is great, ultra thin and light. I did buy the 3 year extendend warrenty since I've heard RUMORS of the longevity of Sony LCD's. I've never been able to find any information on this and I'm not very worried about it.
