Product Description
For consumers who want an HDTV that keeps pace with fast-action movies, sports, and game play, Sony BRAVIA V-Series Flat Panel HDTVs combine Full HD 1080p performance and Motionflow 120Hz technology for an amazing viewing experience. Motionflow 120Hz takes both high-definition and standard programming a step further by increasing sharpness and detail in fast-moving images for more fluid, natural motion. 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.

I've had the TV for about 3 weeks and have had no show stopping issues with it. The TV is hooked up to a receiver for audio. I have an HD TV signal coming in through component and bluray coming in via HDMI. I had to mute the volume on the TV itself to stop it from occasionally popping up the message "Audio switching to external source". I tried using Bravia sync over HDMI but it did not seem to do much but confuse my receiver (it's a sony receiver and it's bravia compatible). While Bravia sync was on my receiver would sometimes not turn on or switch inputs. Perhaps I could've gotten the Bravia sync feature to do something useful if I'd read some manuals but it didn't seem like it was worth the hassle. I still am not sure what Bravia sync is supposed to do.
I watched the Harry Potter movies and Fast and Furious in Bluray, they looked great. When I signed up for Fios I got three free months of HBO. HBO in HD looks fantastic. The tv is a huge step up from my 32 inch Westinghouse that has some dead pixels in a line down the right side of the screen.
No matter how big you are you'll want the help of another person to help you move the TV. I'm 6'6" and I couldn't wrap my arms around it to pick it up. It's not heavy it's just bulky, unwieldy, and too expensive to drop. You can pick it up by the bottom of the screen and lean the screen on your body but I don't recommend it because while doing so you won't be able to see where you're going.
The box was SOAKED! On top of that, he asked me if I could help him bring the box up the stairs. According to Amazon and the CEVA transport document, this delivery was suppose to be "White Glove" service. Instead of wasting time arguing with the delivery driver while the TV was getting even more wet, I helped him carry the box up the stairs into my apartment. I told him "What's the deal, the box is absolutely soaked now!". He had the audacity to tell me "It's not a big deal. The TV is covered in plastic inside." He then asked me if I wanted to open it up. Of course we did, and while at it he got water all over my guitar/drumset with his rain repelling jacket. There was a foam bag covering the TV, with water speckles everywhere, since 2 of the hand holds on the box were torn upwards, and there was also a big gash on the top corner of the box. The bottom of the box somehow was completely drenched, as I think the driver may of rested it on the flooded street before putting it on a dolly. Absolutely distraught, I wrote my name on the invoice and asked him to leave. I was not going to attempt to plug it in since the driver apparently didn't understand the concept of Electricity/Electricial Components + Water = Damage and possible Shock. I was soaked, the TV's box was soaked, my rug was soaked, and to top it off the driver got some of my personal belongings wet.
I removed the foam bag, and unfortunately some water did seep through into the TV since the foam bag opening was top folded (remember the box had torn hand holds and a big gash in the top right corner). Also upon further inspection, the manual and batteries did get wet since they were taped to the bottom of the soaked box hidden under the TV stand.
If the driver did what I asked him by pulling his truck to the stairwell, the box would only had minimal contact with water (if none) while carrying it up the stairwell, as my passageway is covered. Unfortunately the driver just disregarded what I asked him, so the box was out in the pouring rain probably for a good minute while he was hauling it from the street. It was just jaw dropping painful watching this occur.
It's completely shocking that a shipment courier showed no due diligence in the care of my expensive package. He didn't even attempt to cover it with anything, as his excuse was "it has plastic inside". I would of gladly provided him with a tarp, but it was too late as he decided to carry it from the street.
Say even in the best case scenario the TV has no contact with water. What if this item was going to be a gift? The packaging is just as important as the contents, and the condition of the packaging does reflect the care of the product.
I contacted Amazon.com regarding this issue, and the only thing they can do is schedule a pickup, and issue a refund since the TV is no longer in stock for replacement. They didn't even offer a subsitute!
In an attempt to get a replacement television, I contacted Sony's customer relations, and was told to not to even install and power on the television and it would pose a potentional shock/hardware hazard due to water contact. They told me that since the problem is due to the shipper's negligence, I have to file a claim with the shipper and Sony cannot replace the TV.
So in the end I'm left with nothing. This has caused me alot of anxiety and a big headache. Whether or not this may be an isolated incident, this delivery person really is going to give CEVA and Amazon a bad name and impression due to his negligence and lack of due diligence. I know Amazon is not the ones directly at fault. I purchased MANY times from Amazon, and this is the first of an incident like this. This is also my first experience with CEVA, so putting those two together, and its easy to see who's fault this is. I plan on informing the BBB, and if they suggest so, I may even file with the FTC consumer protection department.
Rain or no rain, if CEVA hires delivery personnel with this much common sense, who knows what else our packages are subjected to.
This treatment of expensive shipments is something that should not be tolerated, and it would be unfortunate for this incident to happen to someone else.
