Customer Review: First LCD TV
This was the first LCD HD television that I purchased and I found the Sony to have no faults (purchased 6/2008). I love the 3 inch depth and light weight (about 57 pounds).
The set up was easy and the screen viewing wonderful with any media thrown at it ("rabbit ears", cable, blu-ray, DVD, XBOX, Wii). There is no glare and you can view easily from an angle. 4HDMI and multiple component ports made for a no fuss addition of extras.
The remote is a bit large but that may be how other manufacturers are doing that.
Overall, a wonderful product from Sony
Customer Review: Great TV, a tad pricey though.
We bought this TV because most of what we have comes from Sony, and we like how well it all integrates. The form factor is very clean, the silver bezel is really nice and a good change from black, and the picture is excellent in HD. Sound through the speakers is not great, but who buys this and doesn't have sound going through a theater system? I would just say that it is on the pricey side, since it's Sony, and a Samsung probably offers the same features at a lower price. Still, if you're a Sony fan, this won't dissappoint.

Customer Review: Awesome TV, great value for money
"I've had my 40W4100 for 3 weeks now. I researched, researched and researched until I was worn out. I had narrowed my selections down to this or Samsung. I didn't like the TOC or gloss screen of the Samsung (my den has alot of glare during the day) so I decided on the Sony. And boy am I glad I did! This TV just blows me away! I have everything connected HDMI (Dish Network HD 221, PS3 and Onkyo 606 receiver). You will NOT be disappointed. You would not believe the WOW factor from my friends when they see it for the first time, and I find myself never wanting to go to bed at night anymore. HAHA....Nothing, and I mean nothing, is ever perfect! I can assure you the Samsung's aren't perfect, either. So from a true 40W4100 owner, BUY THIS TV, you will not regret it!!!!"
Customer Review: Great Picture. Great Price for a premium brand like Sony
Was tempted to pay another 25% for the X series but resisted the temptation. Very happy with the W series.

Customer Review: Good directional antenna
Philips MANT900 antenna is an excellent product, comes pre-assembled, does the job right and is not expensive. I have is installed in the attic and regardless of heavy-duty roof and big trees all around I get all digital TV stations within 50 miles distance. The UHF part is quite sensitive to directional orientation, which makes it excellent for those places where most stations are within 15 to 20 degrees angle. You may check on [..] where your stations are and decide if this product is for you.
Customer Review: Phillips antenna
Arrived very quickly. It had some damage on one of the elements. It went together very easily. It did not solve my problem but I may be asking too much of it.

Customer Review: Best 42" 1080p In price range
The Toshiba 42RV530U 42" LCD is my second HD TV. It replaced a four year old Panasonic 37" Plasma that had just gotten too old and was only 720p. Making the upgrade to this beautiful TV was amazing! The picture is clear, sharp, and mostly accurately colored. 4 HDMI inputs is very useful since I have a DVD player, stereo system, and game console that all need an HDMI jack. The bezel on this TV is very narrow, giving the TV a sleek, modern look that is accentuated by the piano, gloss-black finish. The controls are easy to use, and the menu makes a lot of sense when navigating. One feature that I especially like is the ability to change input without hitting a button repeatedly. You can change input by selecting the input menu, and then scrolling through the options. This can be done with two operations in about a second. Another feature I really like is the clarity of connection when plugging my laptop into the TV and using it as a monitor at full 1080p resolution (I use a DVI-HDMI cable). The picture is clear, sharp, and allows me to play games with zero lag.
If you're on a budget and don't care about 120hz processing, you cannot go wrong with this TV!
My one quibble with this TV is that it takes a little while to start up. Maybe 5-6 second. Not really a complaint, but worth mentioning.
And to those of you knocking the sound, you cannot expect a flat panel TV to have excellent sound. Spend the $300 for a stereo system (even less for a 2.1 system). No flat panel has good sound quality, I don't care how much you pay.
Customer Review: Great LCD.
I have been looking at LCDs & Plasmas for over a year now. I purchased the 42RV530U due to it's excellent picture. I think many stores don't set the picture settings appropriately or purposefully set-up the higher priced models to look better than the competition. Google the optimal settings for this TV and then see if the store will let you change the settings. I was amazed. This TV is awesome. SD looks great. Got mine at Sears w/ 0% financing and a price match from a Circuit City ad. User reviews for this model are very high...not sure where the CNET folks get their opinions.

Customer Review: Perfect except for the "sticker"
Everthing was perfect except for that damn sticker they put on the screen and side of the TV. I spent forever trying to remove the glue from the screen and the chassis. As far as the TV goes, even my wife could figure it out right away. Nice picture once you get the glue off. I would buy another one but keep some car "bug remover" nearby.
Customer Review: Great replacement television for old tube tv
Once again I am very pleased with the delivery provided by Amazon! My eighty year old mother needed a new tv after her very old tube tv gave up the ghost last week. Since she is a shut-in, wants to keep things simple and doesn't have a lot of space, we decided to stick with the 19 inch, which was the same size as the tube. Thankfully, I was able to find the size she wanted and based on the reviews for the Samsung, placed my order on Wednesday and lo and behold, had it by Friday afternoon. The set up was so fast and easy and Mom is just delighted with the picture and audio. I would definitely recommend this television especially if all you want to do is plug it in the wall, plug in your cable wire, turn it on and enjoy. Oh yes, also the price was just what I could live with.

Hooked up to an H.D. antenna, the picture is great and all the channels are clear, digital is better than cable !
Customer Review: Never got it, Cancelled the order
I waited quite a long time for this to arrive at my local shipping warehouse only to find out that I had to be home for delivery. I cancelled this order and just went out and bought a very nice Toshiba 26 inch, for much less, with a beautiful picture. I wasnt pleased with this purchase. Amazon is usually on the ball, but not with this.

Customer Review: Another 5020FD review
I purchased the 5020FD to replace my samsung 60 inch DLP. This TV is much better in everyway albeit smaller in size. You have to mount the speakers but that did not take long. The speaker quality by the way is great-- pioneer has been around since at least the 70's and they know how to make speakers. The picture is amazing-- needs some minor adjustments only. I have challenged the picture with my sony playstation 3, DVDs, and BluRays. There is no motion artifact which is troubling on LCDs. I was particularly pleased with bright whites on dark blacks-- rock concerts and movies like the Matrix and Harry Potter pixilate when lightning strikes or wands fight on LCDs but NOT on this plasma. I was very pleased with the price... currently $400-900 cheaper than best buy. 6ave delivered the TV promptly in 4 days. I am very pleased.
Customer Review: Buyer Beware!
I've been through 5 defective pioneer sets in the last 4 weeks. The first two, 5010fd's buzzed so loud I could hear it from the other room! I then decided to go with the newer 5020fd and when my tv arrived from amazon, it wouldn't even turn on! When I got my replacement set it had dead pixels right out of the box, but I wanted to at least keep it until another replacement came. When my third 5020fd came it wouldn't even turn on either so I decided I would still keep the set with a few dead pixels until I got a proper replacement. So they put that tv back on my stand, plugged it in and it wouldn't turn on now! The power outlets were working, so that's a pretty big quality control issue Pioneer has. I really wanted this tv because of all the great things I've heard, but now I'm in disbelief. We only took the tv off the stand, then put it back on and it wouldn't turn on anymore! Now if I could get a replacement that was perfect out of the box I would say no, because if I ever move the tv I would run the risk of being stuck with a $4000 piece of junk. REFUND!!!!!!!
Terk HDtv Antenna Amplified
Posted by admin in Deals on 12 22nd, 2008
Receives all available UHF/VHF local & HDTV broadcasts / Provides outstanding high-definition TV reception / Can clamp to existing satellite dish mast
Customer Review: A good product
This is a good product, easy to install in a varity of methods with installation fixtures provided. My only criticism regards the two dipole elements which collapse to the center for ease of packaging. When the dipole is opened up, the latch mechanism to hold it open is unreliable. I found it necessary to apply epoxy glue to the hinge to ensure that the dipole would stay opened up.

I have had this antenna for a couple of months and it seems to do the job. the towers are 40-50 miles away and it picks up the signal very well. A light weight easy to install. I would buy this antenna again.

Customer Review: Monster M1000HD HDMI AV Cable
I have been using the HDMI400 cable for the last 2 years and since switching to the MD1000HD model recently, the difference is certainly noticeable.
The colors are more saturated and brighter scene for scene, color for color and images are sharper.
This is a great cable.
Customer Review: Best HDMI Cable Ever!!!!
I just received my M1000HD 4',and I connected it to my Xbox 360,replaced it with my xbox 360 hdmi cable that came with my elite 360,just to try it because I am going to use it for my PS3,and I compared the 2 cables,and I have to tell you this cable made a Huge difference,I might have to buy another one of these cables,the Picture quality is sooo much better I am now a huge monster fan because their cables really make a difference in quality,I thought that the one that comes with the 360 was the best for the xbox 360 because it comes with it,but I was completely wrong!!!.I thought the price was high,but now I realize why it was so high,because it is just so GREAT!!!!!,I Recommend this cable to everyone who owns an HDTV with hdmi slots,
