GONE HDTV CRAZY!!!!!, July 1, 2009
By Spencer C. Mckiernan “Spencer C. McKiernan Jr.”
(Stanhope, NJ USA)
I bought my first HDTV last August. Actually it was a birthday present even though I paided half. Then my father bought a bigger HDTV for a HD converter box from CABLEVISION. Well I bought this HDTV from AMAZON for my mother in the upstairs living room for my satellite tv not just to expierence HD but to expierence real digital tv. Well I just bought a smaller HDTV for my father in the garage for father’s day ( I had to order another HD converter box from CABLEVISION. I now made my family HD crazy! But my family is so serious about television I decided it would be smart to make all our tv service with as much HD as possible and be 100% digital. I actually have both cable and satellite (DISH NETWORK) because I wanted it both ways (now that’s being serious). I now wonder how many U.S. households have four HDTVs? I am a very happy one of them.

Very satisfied with this Sony HDTV. Easy setup. Nice style. Great HDTV images and color. Nice sound. Outstanding movie picture quality when using a DVD player. Okay for PC use, but display quality does not match most PC monitors that normally have higher resolution screens with more pixels.
