 Great TV, but some problems November 20, 2009

I purchased this TV about a month ago, and after 3 weeks I noticed an issue. I started watching movies on Netflix and noticed there was a color issue. When the camera would change it would go from a vibrant image, to then fading and washed out looking. I then tried a Bluray and I noticed the same problem. From what I read online this was an issue with the TV and there was an update for it.
I called customer support and they sent me the link for the update and told me how to do it. It was easy, or so they said. I was told it ould take 4 minutes max. I watched the screen change and the update go, and then it switched to the BRAVIA screen and stayed that way. for about 30 minutes. I called them back and they walked me through reseting the TV, which didn't work. I now have a frozen TV and a servicemen coming on Wednesday to have a look at it.
Perhaps the color issue was my HDMI cable, and not the TV. But I read this TV had issues with autocontrast until you did the update. However the update managed to screw up my TV even more.
But it does look great in my entertainment unite! So the design itself is nice, and untill i had my problem it wasnt a bad TV. Wonderful pictures and games looked great on it! Just before you buy be sure to think this over. I may just have bad luck.
Reasonable quality November 14, 2009

I bought the TV three weeks ago from an on-line store. Price was good but the delivery was not and Fedex left the box on my porch while I was at work. It was raining that day and box got wet but the TV was surpraisingly not damaged.
The dimming issue is not fixed by Sony. I noticed the dimming issue the second day and had to download the fairmware which seems to have fixed the issue to a lrage degree. I have the ACE on Medium and it seems to work. Does anyone know if the ACE should be on off to totaly eliminate the diming issue? Also most web sites suggest the Motion Flow control to be turned off. Wouldn't that turn the antiblur off too.
There are few other issues which I am not sure if they are related to the TV or the cable box. Sometimes TV looses video when changing channels. This has happends few times so far and once the picture went off in the middel of a movie and I had to turn the TV off and on. I contacted Sony and they said it is the Cable provider. Has any one experiances loss of picture?
Overall picture quality is not bad for the money.
 Superb TV November 13, 2009

This TV is simply superb. We use our lanai as a TV room and from 10ft the picture quality is stunning. By swivelling the set, we can see it from our dining table. The picture remains clear, of course but from 25ft the sound is better than we ever imagined. It remains full and clear even at reasonably high settings. So this TV ticks all the boxes for us and is highly recommended.
 Fine TV, but needs a firmware update November 2, 2009

I'd thought this model came with a firmware update, but when I got it, I could tell it hadn't. This probably isn't that big a deal, but it's worth mentioning. Otherwise, it's a great TV, and I paid several hundred dollars less buying it through Amazon.

This is a really a great TV and a good buy. The picture quality is very good and the menu controls are very easy to use. Delivery was through Pilot shipping and I had no problem there. Pilot called to set up a delivery appointment, and they arrived within 10 minutes of when they said they would be there. They unpacked the TV, plugged it in, and made sure that it worked.
