THIS TV WAS AN UPGRADE FROM A NEW KDL-S5100 THAT HAD ALL THE SAME PROBLEMS. My older Sony HD tv's are perfect in every way which is why I spent the extra for a new sony bedroom tv, The NEW Sony tv's are just for looks as the guts and the preformance are total JUNK. I am sorry I had to say this about a Sony product but I guess they just cut to many corners to save a buck so they could loose long time customers :(

Excellent TV other than the Cons I mentioned. Not sure why people are complaining about Sound?? I have mine on 15 and 25 at most and that is LOUD Ive taken the volume up to 45 for live concerts on TV and it sounds like there really is a live concert in the room and it VERY LOUD!!! HD Pictures and TV is excellent. We also like the fact that the internet provides movies and tv for us to watch as well as music for us to listen to and we dont hahve to pay for that, just the internet service provider. I mentioned slow tuner because it has like a half sec to second delay for changing channels sometimes. We were used to our panansonic that channels changed instantaneously, but if you have a cable box or satellite box that wont matter. I will only ever buy Sony XBR. The picture quality and noise is excellent.
