Extraordinary |
This product was "back ordered" at EVERY major electronics store, both
national and local but for the same price the model it replaced was
still available. Thanks to Americancivilwar were got what we wanted, and fast.
I might note that 2 of this model, "used", were available at the same
price at the time, I assume both were display models since that seemed
to be all that was at retailers. After our purchase both of these items
were increased $100.
Thanks, Americancivilwar, even if we checked with about 12 outlets before we
thought to go to you. It only takes one good one to fill the order.

Mediocre performance from a quality name |
The M-Series 26" Sony Bravia has a nice looking HD picture but standard definition (SD) pictures are horrible and sound quality is poor. Once all the picture parameters are set for HD, these programs have great detail and resolution. Unfortunately, SD pictures are very soft, color rendition is poor and contrast is poor. Sound quality is tinny and sorely lacking in bass information.
I bought this set beacuse of years of enjoyment with my 25" XBR from the late 1980's that still produces a great looking picture and has never seen the inside of a repair shop. But this M-series Bravia is a big disappointment given that some channels I enjoy are not currently offered in HD. That will change in time, but I thought any Sony product, even an entry level model, would be of better quality than this unit. |

REALLY LIKE THIS TV |
While a 26" screen may not sound impressive, it certainly seems a lot bigger in the living room. What's more, it leaves in the dust any analog TV of a similar screen size.
I like its sharp picture, vibrant colors, the design, and various ways it can display the picture and sound. It has a lot of other features (PIP is one) that I haven't quite gotten around to using yet.
The only thing I could wish for is for it to respond quicker when I turn it on and change channels.
All in all, though, I'm very happy with this TV. |

Good, Low End TV |
|
From my experiance, Sony is the only brand TV to buy. I am satified with the quality of the picture and the viewing angle. My only gripe is that it doesn't accept discrete codes to change inputs, which means I ending up not using the tuner on the TV and had to run everyhing through one S-Video cable from my Entertainment System. My good old VCR is the tuner for this TV. There are way too many inputs for the remote to correctly select the right one in a timely manner. If there is an "S" version out by the time you read this review, I would recommed going up a notch! |
