3 scart sockets
relatively cheap for features and brand
poor convergence
poor beam limiting
unable to switch off 100hz
Recently bought one of these TV's and have to say how disappointed I am with it.
Main gripe I guess is with poor convergence - the image bends in at both sides at the top of the picture, more noticeable on 4:3 and 14:9 ratios.
Also there seems to be very little beam limiting present - when there are sudden changes in contrast or image is changing from light to dark, then the shape of the screen image changes and bends. Again this is more noticeable on 4:3 and 14:9 when you have the edge of the screen as a reference. Saying this though, I popped into my local store and found that most tv's do this no matter what size, shape or make! It's very noticable on pop videos, esp. ones with strobe effects... if you watch a music channel, you'll see the on screen logos and graphics move, as well as the screen shape if on a 'square-er' ratio.
Other annoying thing is that you can't switch off the 100hz feature, which would have been useful for watching sport and digital channels with lower bandwidth.
My particular set also has an really annoying loud buzz - sounds like the transformer or something, and the cabinet looks a little out of shape near the corners of the screen - something I've seen on display models.
Otherwise the TV is fine!?!? The picture looks good using DVD's and you have 3 scarts so you can stick everything in. The large fast text memory is good and the handset has useful features too - esp. if you have other Sony products.
It's just a shame about the bad points!
This TV's off back to the supplier me thinks!!! :(
