CNET Review
The Good: Solid value; very nice performance; CineMotion 3:2 pull-down in DRC processing; removable scan-velocity modulation.
The Bad: Picture memories not associated with input source.
The Bottom Line: This set is a major improvement over earlier Sony 34-inch models in terms of both performance and price.
