I bought this TV because of the connectivity with my Sony audio system. The fiber connection is flawless and is plug and play. When I turn on the Bravia the audio system starts automatically. Great picture coupled with great sound.

Impressed the expert.

This TV paired with Verizon Fios is fantastic. After connection, the Fios guy liked the picture quality so much that he wanted to buy the same unit - especially when he found out how inexpensive the TV unit was.

It was as much as we expected

It's thicker than Samsong but has all necessary features I need. Better price than most in the market. I'd recommend this model if you're looking for 55 inch LCD.

The TV has a great picture and perfect sound quality!
There are no big crackling noises when changing the channels as in the Sony KDL-52V5100 model.

I have always liked Sony products and this TV did not lower my expectations. It was easy to set up and install and meets/exceeds my expectations for a TV this size. Great pictures in HD, haven't installed my surround sound yet but hope to soon to enhance sound quality. I highly recommend it as I would any other Sony product.

I only connect PC and DVD player (both through HDMI). The clarity, resolution, viewing angle, of this TV could not be better. I've never see quality like this, even on other 1080p/120Hz TVs.

Comments about Sony BRAVIA KDL-55EX500 55" LCD TV ATSC - NTSC - 178? / 178? - 16:9 - 1920 x 1080 - Dolby, Surround - HDTV - 1080p:

1. 55" is the ideal diagonal screen size for a not-so-big, let's say average living-room. If you sit within 10 yards from the screen you get an impression of sitting in a cinema-theatre. Eyes almost do not see the edges of the TV and that makes you deeply immerse in a movie!
2. The design can fit any style of your apartment - either classic of modern: the TV-set has a piano-black frame with dark matte metallic line on the bottom.
3. Tested on kids! =))))) Because of the screen size and great picture quality they do not tend to come too close to the screen, looking at it from 15 inches and you will not need to worry that they will hurt their eyes, instead they just sit on the coach. Frozen. =)) (Parents will understand me).
