Customer Reviews
Great picture, but needs some tweaking out of the box
This is a terrific large flat panel TV. The sharpness and color is exceptional. The factory defaults were too saturated, however, and took some adjustment.
Aquos 52″ HD - LCD
As usual, Amazon had the best price around (better than the local stores, or Costco, or BJs). I had come down to a choice between this one and the Sony; price decided the issue.
It was delivered (with a confirmation phone call as to time, etc, a couple of days before). The fellows delivered the set into my living room. They asked if I wanted them to set it up - I was too excited to realize that maybe this was part of the delivery service; I just figured I didn’t have enough money to pay more for setting it up, and sent them on their way. If this was included, I would have liked to have Amazon notify me of that, instead of having to wait until a friend came over to help me with it….
The picture is magnificent! My eyesight is not what it used to be, but this set allowed me to read the scrolling across the bottom easily - and the sharpness of the picture was fantastic! Especially the ocean scenes: the water looked so real…. I had read about ‘banding’, but did not see any until I’d had the set about a month: then, on some scenes (usually with very plain backgrounds), I noticed a vertical line at about 1/3 of the screen from the left, with a slight color differential on the left third of the screen. But, it’s unseen in a busy scene with a lot of action or items on the screen. So - it’s there, but I’m not really concerned about it.
The set has a lot of settings for picture size, colors, closed captions, etc. - but using my local cable service takes precedence over many of the settings. So, I set everything to my liking before hooking into the cable service. The most fascinating thing was the choice of CC font, font color, font background color, and font background transparency: loved that!
The set seems to run hot - it will keep the living room warmer this winter! I keep it on a coffee table with lots of open space around it, so there shouldn’t be any problem with overheating. My airconditioner blows across one edge of the set, and has never caused any operating or viewing problem.
Basically, I have been watching a lot of TV since getting this set, and love it. I have no real complaints, and would recommend it to anyone.
