Customer Review: suprisingly bad performer
I purchased it somehow mislead by other Sony Bravia reviews.I even bought 3 year extended warranty, since I was convinced this is a good TV.I sold my 42″ Visio plasma TV, since it was too big for my bedroom and since it was plasma, too “hot” in terms of power consumption and heating effect I was getting in my bedroom (Florida).I sold it to my friend and boy, I really am sorry now!The picture quality of this 37 inch Bravia is a shame. First of all the lack of decent black levels showing the picture as it would be a watching through “milky cloud” - I’m unable to get a balanced contrast/brightness level.It’s either to milky or the contrast is blown out of balance.
Also, colors are unnatural.Since the blacks or dark colors are showing cloudy too, it’ easy to notice all digital artifacts that are associated with a compressed imaging coming from cable television (and I really do have excellent TV signal, coming from Verizon FIOS TV digital box).
It’s very modest to say, that getting this TV 2 stars out of five is generous rating.
Overall lousy performance, washed out colors, poor contrast and impossible to get balanced picture.
The only good this TV is doing for me is not heating my bedroom…since I’m not watching it almost at all.
Buyers Beware!I would love to replace it…
