1. This is the first posting I've had on Amazon. So, this shows my satisfaction with the product. I purchased this LCD for our bedroom as a replacement for a broken CRT television. Shopping around, it was hard to find a better value. For the price point, you either have to jump up quite a bit to get a better quality/larger screen. Or, you go way down in quality and size. So, if you're looking to limit your purchase to under $1000, I think this is the best value! The prices out there are under $1000 for this TV because the market is pushing some of the newer models with better technology.
   
   The quality on this set is better than all the ones I've compared. The only caveat for you is to make sure you have the right cables/splitters, etc when installing it. Try to find that out before you buy any of the newer TVs. Best of luck with your decision!



2. This model does not have all the bells and whistles as the more expensive models, but still produces a great picture. Very happy with this television. Excellent for both HDTV and Xbox 360.



3. I had been saving up for a new tv for over a year and a half. I finally decided on the Sony KLVS23A10 23" TV. When I turned the set on, I was blown away by the clarity of the picture. This is my first HDTV and couldn't believe the detail of the picture. It was like I was looking at a 3D image. This set has four viewing options wide zoom, normal, full, and zoom. I personally prefer the wide zoom for movies because it brings the picture up close with minimal distortion.
   
   The sound has three options dynamic, natural, and clear voice. I prefer dynamic. The first time I heard the sound on this set was when I was watching a movie, and there was a scene where water was dripping. The TruSurround was sooo goood that I had to check and see if it was raining outside.
   
   I love my KLVS23A10 and would highly recommend it if you're in the market for a small sized HDTV with superior picture and sound. I can't wait to see football games on my new HDTV this fall.



4. We are using these TVs (we bought 2) as extra monitors along side our 50 inch plasma to watch several things at the same time, and they are great. Haven't hooked up HD yet, but even cable and non-HD satellite look great. Great picture, lots of adjustment options. Also, a great TV for the price. This TV lists at a muvh higher price on most other internet sites and local stores.



5. This is great TV with a good user interface and a spectacular picture. I have had no problems with it and although I know you can now getter better ones for less cost, if you can get this used at a good price or at a lower price than the newer models, you may want to consider it.
   
   There are three different color modes on this TV and I use them all for different purposes. For example, low definition, non-digital signals often look best in VIVID mode. Flesh tones and dark shadowy scenes almost always look most realistic in PRO mode. However, for most purposes the STANDARD setting is great.
   
   I am also very happy with the viewing of the picture at all different angles and with the lack of glare factor. On some of these HDTV sets, viewing at another angle changes the color or glare. This is not a good thing and it's downright annoying if you have multiple people viewing the set in your living room.
   
   There are also many hook up possiblities and they are easy to reach. I did a lot of research before buying this and I'm very pleased with my TV 1 year latter. I'm also confident that I was very thorough in my research and for sets made during this period this is good quality and now you can get it for less.
   
   A small shortcoming is that the built in speaker could be a bit louder. It is adequate for a small room, but if you really want great sound I would run it through your stereo or a home studio setup.

1. i bought this television about six months ago when the price suddenly dropped from $699 as it listed now to $499. I had planned on buying the vizio brand 32in LCD but when the haier price came down to $499 I couldn't pass up the deal. Yes, it is a chinese brand which I am sure would scare a lot of buyers off, but for what I paid, this television is almost a steal. Its a 720p resolution but at the 32in size you can't tell the difference and the picture is still very good even with regular cable. I have a PS3 hooked up through the HDMI and the picture is amazing for both PS3 games and blu-ray discs. Its also a bit sleeker looking than the vizio which has the awkward silver speaker at the bottom. My only complaint would be that the remote it comes with is not always very responsive. Once you figure out a good place for it to work, it is fine though. I just sit in the same place on the couch and it is good. Overall, if you are looking at brands like vizio or olevia and can get this tv at the price I did, I would go for it.



2. This item was purchased as a Christmas gift. The first one out of the box did not work. This was returned to the store -- the second one lasted 2 months. Another family member also purchased this TV and they too have been having problems.
   
   Customer service is horrible -- long on-hold times, don't get the same answer from 2 different people, cannot find local service/repair person (and we live in a large city).
   
   Stay away from this brand.

2 comments about Sony XEL-1 11-Inch OLED HDTV.

1. I just returned from Korea where I saw this display in an airport store. The screen is deceivingly small, the eleven inches looking even less generous than it sounds. It is wider than your average wide screen tv available, only half as tall as it is wide (about 5 inches - 5.5 according to this site.)
   
   However, the picture looked amazing. I was caught by this before I knew I was looking at OLED - the faces on the display were the most realistic I have ever seen, on any kind of monitor. The quality was equivalent to a printed photograph. Looking closely I could still spot the pixels, the same size as any good quality lcd monitor. So I give credit mostly to the contrast ratio, in addition to the fact they were playing a blue ray from a ps3.
   
   Anyway, 2500 is too much right now, I think you need to see it in person before you buy. I would dock a star for that, but I just can't be that harsh on this new technology - it really is the next big thing.



2. i have been using this set for 6 months with a modified "code free" pioneer
   dv-400v upscaling dvd player.(do not own any blu-ray or hd player yet.)picture on the xel-1 is so good im not feeling deprived. miner
   issues:the screen is highly reflective and will need to be positioned so you arent viewing your own reflection,etc. also,the packaging for this set is quite complex,so if you buy online,you wont be casually shipping this back if you encounter problems. i am nearsighted,and this is an ideal set to watch without my glasses,which is important when using a headphone based audio setup.

2. I am sick of all those retailers ripping off people for buying the replacement lamp for the Sony VPL-HS10 and VPL-HS20. You can go to the Sony parts store at the link below to purchase directly for $279.99. The cheapest I have seen from those greedy retailers is $300.

1. The sound of this TV is simply weak.
   
   Analog and Digital picture selection is separat. You do not get the channels in sequence but you must enter the analog or digital channel manually by number. Digital broadcast is 95% in 4:3 format but the channels are standard displayed as Stretched which turns all people into fat dwarfs. The remote has to be clicked 2 twice for correction.



2. This TV has great clarity and works well in a bright area, works great for both a TV and as a monitor for the kitchen PC.

4 comments about Philips 50PF9830A 50-Inch Ambilight Widescreen Plasma HDTV with Pixel Plus 2 HD.

1. I purchased one from Amazon. When it was delivered and installed, I realized that it was a refurbished with a big stamp on the user manual and red ink to cross out the serial number at the back of the TV. The front black frame was falling off. I wanted Amazon to replace it with a new one. Amazon customer service agreed that what was advertised should be new TV. But, they were not able to find a new one so I was offered a refund. The problem is that I need to call Dish HD to cancel HD installation (if possible, etc.) and take another day off to wait for the pick up.
   
   Do not buy this TV from Amazon unless you like used plasma TV.



2. I'm an extremely dissatisfied customer of Philips and I own the Ambilight model (50PF9630A/37). Well, I kind of own it. I pay for it while it sits in the service center. I had it for 7 months prior to the recall of almost 12,000 Philips TVs with certain Ambilight parts in them. A technician came to my home to replace the faulty parts three and a half months ago and it's been in the shop since that day. I have been on the phone with Philips over and over throughout this ordeal while they've sent part after part after part to the service center, in failed attempts to get my television working again. Their customer service is horrible and they are adamant that they are going to do everything they possibly can to avoid replacing the unit, no matter how long it takes. I have been told multiple times by their "customer service" reps that there is NO TIMEFRAME in which they must complete a repair before finally deeming the unit unrepairable AND to top it off, my warranty will still expire at the date of purchase, even if they still have it in their possession at that time. Basically, if they keep it for two and a half more months and get it working long enough for them to drop it off at my house, I'm on my own. I'm not a plasma expert by any means, but I hope this helps you and anyone else that reads this in making an informed decision on atleast which brand NOT to buy.



3. I own the 50" Ambilight and it has turned out to be a fantastic TV. At first, my wife and I were a bit skeptical that the ambilight was just a gimic, but we went ahead with the purchase. As it turns out we both LOVE the ambilight feature. It really adds a level of depth to movies that you have to see to believe. The picture quality is fantastic as well.
   
   I too was a victim of the recall. There was a problem with the shieling around the ambilight bulbs which had caused problems in a few TVs. It was extremely easy to schedule an apppointment through Philips, and within a week a technician came to my house and fixed the issue. It was a 30 minute appointment. Not sure what happened with the fellow whose review is below this one.
   
   I'm extremely satisfied.



4. Unfortunately there are people rating and reviewing this model and other Philips sets that they don't even own, or have ever seen. You will see some examples of this if you read the other reviews on this set. They may have had bad luck with one Philips TV or product so I guess they think its ok to just click on any old model and give it a poor rating. I have two 50" Philips plasmas and two of there DVD players and I am extremely happy with all of them.
