Having ordered this TV in later Sept 2009 and waiting 2 months for delivery, ( local Sony Dealer), I can say the wait was worth it, Once setting up the colours, contrast, black levels etc for my liking I can only say that the set displays an image of the highest quality. The TV comes with Freeview and Freesat were a satellite dish is required but worth doing to received the free HD channels on offer by BBC HD and ITV.( 2 in total at the moment) The ITV HD channel has only a limit amount of programs for each day. The TV specs are at a very high quality, 200hertzs with lots of picture correction opinions which I have set to the lowest settings as I feel the quality of the image of great without all the gizmos. The TV has many inputs including a USB port for memory sticks. If you're in the market for a 46 inch TV its worth considering this model on your list.
