the name says it all "Sony"

Excellent product. Had tv for 3 months now. No complaints. This was my first LCD tv. Didn't want to spend this much money for a tv. I'm glad I chose one with a reputable name. I love this tv. sound could be better, but it's adequate for the picture quality that you get. Watching movies is like being in the theatre. HDTV via optimum online is the clearest picture you can ever get. There is no way I can go back to regular box tv. Not worried about tv dieing out - got 4 year extended warranty. if you are going to spend this much on a tv, might as well get an extended warranty.
