I have a number of Sony products, including an XBR 52" HD in my family room. I have a covered deck that is open on two contiguous sides and wanted to add a big screen out there. This TV is the lowest priced Sony on the market right now in the 46" range. I was concerned that it wouldn't be bright enough for an "outdoor" set. It's plenty bright. In fact, I have toned down the brightness for aesthetic reasons and am very happy with the result. I can float in my pool(30 feet away)and watch the San Francisco Giants play baseball. My barbecue is about 25 feet away and I can stand there and watch TV with no problems. The TV Black Friday hd tv is mounted on a Sanus VMSA Silver Flat-panel Wall Mount w/Tilt/Swivel/Arm on an exterior wall under the eaves, so I can swivel or tilt it to gain maximum relief from reflections, depending on the time of day.

The picture is typically Sony--excellent--the features all work very well, and I have it ported to my deck stereo system for the sound which is outstanding. This TV replaced a 24" CRT Sony that has been on that wall for 6 years. I like my XBR best, but this 46" is everything I wanted it to be. Outstanding value.

Amazon's price and 30-day return policy was critical to my purchase, just in case the TV would not have been bright enough outdoors. Delivery was on time and everything was in excellent condition when received.

I bought this to replace a sony 2002 model Black Friday led tv reviewsthat I thought had a good picture. After receiving this and setting it up the picture just blew me away! I have had many sony tvs over the years and have been happy with them all and this one is no exception. Great quality and sturdy stand so the tv does not seem unstable at all, unlike another tv (vizio) which I was considering purchasing until I actually saw how unstable their stands seemed to be. The only thing lacking is the sound quality, although very adequate, you will still need a good home theater system to bring this rv to its full potential. I have mine paired with a sony 5.1 home theater system and it is absolutely perfect.One other little nitpick, when starting it up it takes about 15-20 seconds for it to boot up so to speak, but that is minor. Also I must comment on the service from Amazon. Ordered this on Friday afternoon and Monday afternoon it was delivered, even with super saver shipping which they said takes 5-8 days. It arrived in absolutely perfect condition with no dings or scratches on the box. Don't hesitate to buy this tv, it is a great bargain for the price.
