 Excellent, simple to set up tv Sep 08, 2008
By Paulfolio
This tv is beautiful and easy to set up.The worst of it is that it's best viewed when fully vertical, and the prop in the back isn't long enough for that, so I needed a piece of wood under it to raise it. It doesn't have its verticality worked out - unless you mount it on a wall. It has outlets and inlets for seemingly any device, and suggests hookups. It's been a daily part of my life for a month, and it's beautiful, and easy to control and hook up. I would highly recommend it.

Love It!!!! Dec 19, 2008
By Country Blue
This is a great little TV! It took me 10 minutes to set up, and I have had no problems. I could see how some people might think the instructions are confusing, especially if you have a complcated set up. The picture is great. I have it sitting on my kitchen counter using the little stand provided, and I have no problems with instability or the vewing angle.

 I'm keeping mine - 3 1/2 stars Feb 07, 2009
By Otis Thecat
This television has some great features and some which are not-so-great.
THE GOOD:
Construction: This TV is sturdy - about 5 lbs heavier than competing 19 inch LCD TVs. That's a plus - this is the third 19 inch LCD I have purchased (having returned the other two) and this is, far and away, the best built 19" on the market. Less cheap plastic.
Sound: The sound quality is outstanding. Many 19" LCDs have audio with a "tinny" quality. The speakers on this TV blow away the competition, hands down. You will not confuse this with a Bose home theater system, but the sound is surprisingly good.
THE O.K:
Picture: As a general rule, the smaller the LCD, the less of a difference HD makes. So, the picture on any 19" 720p model will be far less stunning that what you'd see on a 40" 1080p. That said, the picture on the Sony Bravia 19" is between decent and good. The picture on the Samsung LN19A450 19" is noticeably better. However, the Samsung is full of cheap plastic and the sound is tinny. Other than the Samsung, I think the picture on the 19" Sony Bravia is at least equal to any other 19" on the market
THE BAD:
Aesthetics: This is one ugly little TV. The front panel is black and the sides and back are white (or, in the alternate versions, the front panel is white and the side and back are a gaudy color such as pink, orange or lime green). The two tones are awful and distracting. Furthermore, the TV has an ugly shopping-bag-like handle that protrudes from the back of the TV and is visible while watching the television. Also, the base of the TV is not a pedestal like other models. It resembles the back of a picture frame. This unit will never win any beauty contests. I seriously wonder what the people at Sony were thinking when they came up with this. I think this is my biggest gripe with the TV.
Some reviewers have complained about the base of the TV. If that is your only concern, do not let the base prevent you from buying the TV. It is sturdy and I have no fears that my TV will fall over - either forward or backward.
Finally, I also own 32" and 40" Sony Bravias and, quality-wise, I think Sony TVs stand out among the competition. That said, the 19" version has its flaws. However, Sonys TVs are reliable and the sound on this little TV is great. 3 1/2 stars.

Not bad for the Money Jan 19, 2009
By C. K. lau
"CKL"
I bought this TV at a Sony Store "On sale" for $259, brand new.
After hooking it up, I was a bit disappointed with the picture quality but decided to keep it anyway.
The Pros:
Beautiful styling, compact, light weight and (cheap)
The picture quality form analog channels appear almost the same as the digital channels. Colors are vivid with little noise....... It has tons of inputs including HDMI, PC, RGB, etc....
The Cons:
The problem is the picture quality from the digital channels are not really that good, (like I said, they are similar to the analog channels.) Colors are smeared and blotchy and appeared to have been highly "processed" by the Bravia Engine. There is little or no tonal detail or gradation in any image. The noise reduction is so strong that all details are wiped out, even the HD channels have a harsh, artificial look to it. No amount of adjustment in the picture controls yield anything as good as my Sharp Aquos with a side by side comparison off the same cable feed.
Using an HDMI feed from a Upscaling Samsung Player, the DVD quality is again soft and lacking in detail, certainly not at par with the Sharp. It looks best at 720p even though it claims to do 1080i. I did not try it with Blue ray.
Using the PC input was the biggest disappointment. I tried 2 PCs and a Mac laptop with it but The screen will support only up to a 1024x768 resolution, pretty low for a 19 inch screen. Forget connecting a PC to it as a monitor screen.
I tried using the antenna with the built in ATSC tuner but was not able to get any decent channels in my area.
To be fair, it is better than my 4 year old 480p Samsung at half the price. View from 5 feet or more away, the picture is pretty good.
Overall I give it 3 stars, recommended only if less than $300.

Near perfect Feb 21, 2009
By G. Gray
Sony's 19-inch Bravia TV produces an outstanding picture in HD, but it is the sound quality that distinquishes it from the other very good TVs. This set replaces a 12 year 15-inch Sony, that sits on a kitchen counter, and we wanted the new HD set to have the same rich, warm sound. Other small screen sets seemed to have the tiny, cheap speaker sound. The remote is very user friendly and easy to use.
But there is one knockdown. Although the screen is only 19-inch, the wide frame makes the set much bigger. The set is kept upright by a small leg in the back, very unstable.
