Sony Bravia KDL-46Z5500 46in LCD TV Comments

What a pity; another decent sounding Sony ruined by backlight bleed.

My 3 year old 40W2000 has the same issue and it certainly is off putting, I would have thought that Sony could have sorted out their factory/QC by now, but apparently not.

Think I'll upgrade to the Panny 50V10 plasma instead; and on that note any chance of a review of the 50" TR?

The only thing the review lacked was with regard to input lag.

The new W5500 range have more input lag than the previous 4000+ range, can you comment if the Z5500's input lag is worse the the Z4500 ?

what a shame still got backlight bleed their tvs were always the ones other manaufacturers aspired too thought they used samsung panels and their tvs dont have this problem although i did hear Sony were looking at using LG panels maybe they are looking at using the LG led panels in future new models which I hear are in THX approved LG sets

If motion flow has to be turned off because of a cricket ball then, in my opinion, the set is not up to standard, and should not be on the market.
After paying that kind of money for a TV set I would be sick at the idea of having to turn things on and off depending on the picture content.
What about the good old days when you set your contrast and brightness when you installed the TV and just sat back and enjoyed the content thereafter.
Just how much has technology really moved on?

Oh dear ... yet another instance showing up the flaws of LCD - seems no matter how much money you throw at these panels with fancy (and expensive) processing tricks (which you will no doubt start toning down/turning off) LCD still cannot come up with a TV Experience to match Plasma.

I wonder whether Sony would consider moving their entire line to HCFL (other than LED based ones) as that TV didn't suffer from inconsistent backlight issues...
