 Disappointed May 20, 2010
Sharon Whigham
I purchased the KDL-52VE5 Dec. 2009, however has had problems with intermittent sound from day 1. Called tech support and still to no avail problem still exist. Had sound board replaced and was sent updated sound program and was reassured that would correct the problem, despite all of that problem still happening. Of course they are blaming my cable provider, but had that checked out and no problem with the cable. After 6 months TV still having the same problem. I am VERY, VERY disappointed, with what "supposed to be" a reputable product. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A SONY PRODUCT AGAIN. I am shopping for another TV, however it WILL NOT be a SONY!!
Terrible experience with the VE5 and SONY service April 15, 2010

My experience with the SONY VE5 has been a total disaster. The model I had is the 46VE5.
Bought the 46in version in October 09, and the HDMI inputs stopped working this January, 3 month into service. None of the 4 inputs worked. After doing my own trouble shooting, talking to SONY online, taking my playstation and HDMI cable to the SONY store to be checked up, I was finally convinced it's the TV.
The service center ordered the main board for me on 2/10/10, back ordered until 3/10/10. No show after 3/10, and was told new ETA for parts is 4/27. Called SONY, and they called me back in a week. Told me new parts arrived that day. contacted my service center, no they didn't receive parts. Called SONY again, they couldn't figure out why I didn't get parts. Called me back in a week, and told me new parts arrived again. I waited for a few days, and contacted my service center, no they didn't receive any. Called SONY again, no clue as usual. After several times of 45minutes on the phone, SONY said they will replace my set swith a refurbished set. Another week as gone by, still no one contacted me about the delivery of the set yet.
So I had the TV for half a year and it worked for the first 3 months. I am absolutely disappointed at SONY. Don't think I will ever buy a SONY again, at least nothing other than playstation games.
 A great picture and green as well! April 5, 2010

I had been actively seeking this HDTV, but was resigned to finding it out of stock (it has been discontinued for 2010) or for full pop pricing, which I wanted to avoid. However, a link to the product on Amazon through my Yahoo shopping page brought me to the set I wanted, at a price that was incredible--with free shipping! WOW! The fulfilling company (Video & Audio Ctr. in Los Angeles) was very easy to work with, and delivered and set up the product for me on time and accommodating my schedule. Very impressive.
The HDTV itself was all I wanted, and more! Set-up is easy, there are plenty of inputs for all my TV toys, and it looks incredible! My only complaint/caution to those buying this model: the base is not really sturdy enough to support a big, top-heavy 52" HDTV. I recommend using a wall mount if you can. Otherwise, be sure to secure the TV to a wall or your stand, just in case (I am in earthquake-land, so toppling over is a concern.)
In addition to the superb picture quality, is the fact that this HDTV only uses as much power as a 40w light bulb, and has all sorts of features to help reduce power-consumption. I highly recommend this product.
awesome tv $800 off retail.. March 23, 2010

1ST THE only bad review about this tv on here is from some moron that doesn't understand the tv has nothing what-so-ever to do with changing channels on a cable or sat box., also if u have hd it has like 4 times more info so channels do take 1 second longer to change but thats why u use a guide to flip channels and only pick the 1 u want to go to., either way he left a horrible review about this tv because he doesn't like his tv provider i guess if his power company turns off power he'll blame sony because tv won't come on!! people that stupid shouldn't be allowed to have tv this nice anyway!!! THIS tv sells at sears for $1899+shipping and tax thats like $2200 i got it for $1374 free shipping(from ca to nc)no tax!!! i had a sony rear projection tv for 3 yrs and it's actually got a good picture but it's not bright at all (hard to watch in daylight) i rented a sony v5100 lcd(to test it) and its a nice tv, almost the same as this one but this one has twice the contrast and uses less power.. the energy save feature hasn't turned the monitor off yet cause we move alot but just in case i get a phone call or go outside for longer than expected i know the tv will get a break and save power.. it also has auto dimming feature when room gets darker tv dims so it doesn't blind u and saves power, this tv only uses sbout 185watts, 100-200 less than most 52". my friend has a samsung LED tv and wow i mean wow picture is damn good no doubt but he paid $2400 thats $1,000 more i don't think picture is that much better.. this tv has awesome picture, HD LOOKS GREAT but even a twlight zone from 1959 in 4.3 looks really good i was shocked., very good speakers (much better than i expected)menus and remote are easy also it controls my other sony stuff.. the stand was already on tv so all i did was pick up the tv, sit it on stand, plug it in hook up hdmi cables done., took 5 mins.. buy this tv now!!!
Wow....Great TV! March 21, 2010

I bought this Tv after doing some research and talking to friends in the know. I was originally looking at newer technology LED sets but didnt think the extra cost was worth it after comparing LCD vs. LED sets. I bought this through Amazon for what i think was a great value at $1299 w/ free shipping and no tax. I was originally going to purchase a surround system to go with it but after listening to the built in dynamic tru surround sound...i now feel that it would be a waste! The tru surround sounds just great for me even though i had read some reviews complaining about the sound. I am gonna invest in a dvr recorder instead of a sound system. The picture on this set is awesome and i am now hooked on HD as well! The fact that this tv is eco-friendly and efficient is a plus (Not that i care what Al Gore says...) and the built in motion/presence detector is great if ya have teenagers in the house. Buy this set...you will LOVE it!
