CNET Review
The Good: Produces relatively deep black levels; accurate color in bright areas; solid dejudder processing in Standard mode; numerous picture controls; plenty of connectivity with four HDMI, two component-video and one PC input.
The Bad: Dark areas tinged bluish; must engage dejudder to enable antiblur; pedestrian design; less uniform screen.
The Bottom Line: The commendable picture quality of Sony's entry-level 120Hz-equipped LCD makes it a very good value.
