GREAT PICTURE GREAT VALUE, January 11, 2012

This review is from: Toshiba 40FT2U 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV (Electronics)

I purchased this tv from Walmart for about $59.00 cheaper (plus tax). Picture is awesome. I purchased it for my bedroom. It basically has none of the extra bells and whistles, just 2 HDMI plugs on the back. The sound is also very basic (it sounds kind of like the sound coming out of a good clock radio) but if you want to upgrade the sound, that's what all of the jacks in the back are for. Like I said, it is just for my bedroom and for that, the sound is fine. If you are just looking for a basic tv for your bedroom with an excellent vibrant picture at a very good price, this is the one for you. We love it!

The LG LSW400BG 52-inch-60 Inch Slim Mount Wall Bracket works as it says it does. We have it high on a wall in our bedroom. It supports a LG TV. I suggest you buy this item if you are buying a LG large screen TV, as the holes in the bracket match directly to the TV and therefore makes an easier mounting procedure. Having said that, it was not all the easy to put the mount on the wall, and then to slide the 55" TV on to the mount. It takes more than one person to get the job done. Make sure you measure how the mount will lay on your wall before you put it up, as a crooked mount will make for a crooked TV on your wall. Now that the mount and TV are on the wall it is great! This mount tilts vertically and horizontally which is a very convenient feature. It lays fairly close to the wall as well.

I purchased this product to mount a new 60" LG Plasma TV only to find that the mount cannot accommodate the bigger LG plasma TV's... and LG evidently doesn't make a larger wall-mount. I thought this would be straightforward, complete solution from LG; but that wasn't the case and it certainly wasn't very clear (at least to me) from the product descriptions on LG's website and on Amazon. I needed a 600x400 VESA mount and this one is 400x400.

I admire the design and quality of the product, but it looks like I'll be sending this one back and find something else.

Decent price; works OK for me. Fairly durable and easy to put together. Top tier is pressed fibre board with black laminate. Holds the weight of the TV without bending. Seems OK for what I needed and the price I wanted to pay.

Excellent concept and function ... unsure about quality, April 4, 2011

S. Gerber "samthewebman" (Philadelphia, PA USA) -

This review is from: Convenience Concepts Designs-2-Go 2-Tier Swivel TV Stand (Kitchen)

I needed a stand to place on my dresser to elevate my 37" LCD (30 lbs). Didn't care about swivel stand and was apprehensive it would swivel too freely and contribute to the TV toppling.

What attracted me the most to this stand was its nice appearance and more important it's tremendous 9.5 inch elevation ... most stands are around 4-5".

After spending less than 5 minutes setting it up I developed some positive first impressions and one negative.

Positive: 1. It is very simple in design and construction. Two particle board shelves, with the swivel assembly firmly mounted to the bottom.

2. The swivel carousel is large in diameter with absolutely no suggestion that the attached shelf (base) would tip left or right.

3. The shelves appear very strong, nice wood grain veneer, and assembly holes very cleanly drilled.

4. When assembled, the unit is tight with zero sway. It's rated to hold 60 lbs., and I have no doubt that it will easily manage my 30 lb. TV.

5. The swivel assembly is tight. It will easily swivel at the touch but will not do a high-speed 360 when the cat pushes it.

6. The wide open area between the two shelves is very welcome as I was wasting valuable dresser real estate. My guess is that two components of normal width can be stacked in this area, say 2 out of 3 of a VCR, DVD, Cable Set Top Box or DVR. Only consideration is the 23.6 inch width less the supporting poles at the corners.

Negative: The plastic construction of the supporting poles and especially the lightweight plastic tightening "screws" at the ends of the poles do not inspire confidence, although they are tight and the unit does not sway, as mentioned.

One reviewer indicated that 3 of his 8 "screws" were broken and he knew the package had been previously opened. I can easily believe this is exactly what happened. I'd bet the farm that the previous owner over tightened them. That's a guarantee for disaster given the flimsy character of these "screws". With the money they're making on this item, they could have and should have supplied metal supports and "screws" (end caps).

In all, this is a nicely designed very functional enhancement to any TV setup where the TV is on an elevated surface as a dresser or larger TV stand.

My rating would have been 5-star were it not for the plastic components.

Given what's available to meet the need fulfilled by this unit, I recommend it to you. Please be careful with the assembly and do not over-tighten the plastic "screws".

Thanks for reading ... Sam

Excellent TV stand for the price, November 3, 2009

This review is from: Convenience Concepts Designs-2-Go 2-Tier Swivel TV Stand (Kitchen)

This TV Stand was exactly what I was looking for in its price range. It holds our 32" LCD TV on top (approx 28 lbs) with our DVD/VCR combo below with ample room on all sides of it.

This literally took me 7 minutes to put together and I would say it took longer to open the box and take out all the parts than it did to assemble it. Even with the quick and easy assembly, this appears to be solid and sturdy and I am not concerned about the weight of the TV being an issue at all. The fact that this is a swivel stand is just an added bonus for us, as we didn't need it but it could come in handy should we decide to use this in another room.

Comment on Bargain Sony BRAVIA KDL-55EX500 Series 55-Inch LCD TV, Black In Stock by ijcast

Excellent picture, works great with gaming, low price., January 17, 2011

ijcast (San Francisco, CA) -

This review is from: Sony BRAVIA KDL-55EX500 Series 55-Inch LCD TV, Black (Electronics)

As a mid-level LCD TV, the KDL55EX500 is simply a stunning bargain for what you get. And despite the fact that it doesn't use LED technology, it's still has excellent picture quality.

This is a standard LCD TV. Despite this, it has picture quality that rivals many of its LED competitors. I've found that after visiting several stores that many LED-based sets have restricted viewing angles (often getting washed out easily if you move away from center). Also, if you've ever done research on various tech sites, you would find some people complaining about how their LED TVs have uniformity issues, and/or light-bleed from the edges of the screen. Lastly and most important to me, most of the LED TVs that I liked seemed to have significant input lag. Input lag is a slight delay of the video displayed on the TV. All LCD TVs suffer from at least a small amount of input lag, but it seemed all the LED TVs I liked (mostly Samsungs) had a significant amount of it. (Input lag is not rated on most TVs. But on PC monitors input lag often rated as "latency" and measured in milliseconds or "ms".) And since I like to play Gran Turismo 5 on my PS3 a lot, input lag was a concern for me. My previous TV had a lot of input lag (a Samsung) and it made playing Gran Turismo 5 impossible. I had to resort to playing the game on my PC monitor - it was that bad. (Note: I know a lot of TVs now boast of 120hz, or 240hz motion processing. This does not address input lag. Input lag is a seperate problem.)

So after doing a bit of research (reading up on owner's forums of various TVs), I narrowed it down to the KDL55EX500 and the KDL55EX710 - both from Sony. (I really liked the Samsungs, but as I said before, the owners forums swayed me away from them due to quality issues and input lag.) There is about a $700 difference in price of these two TVs because the EX710 series uses the newer LED technology. Seeing them both side-by-side at a local store, it was really hard to see a difference. The EX710 model looked a bit sharper, but the difference was really hard to discern. I couldn't justify paying another $700 for the EX710. Yea, the EX710 is a lot thinner, and consumes less energy, but I don't care about that (gasp!). I just want a good picture for a good price - and the EX500 had both of those things. (When I asked if they had any of the EX500 in stock at that store, the salesman said they did not - which didn't surprise me.)

I will admit that the EX500 series does not have the best picture quality I have seen. The best I think are the upper tier Samsungs (UN558000XF is amazing looking when you see it in person). But after owning a Samsung and having it die on me after only 4-years I'll stick with Sony - who seem to have a better quality track record regarding TVs. (I still own a 12-year-old Sony TV that works perfectly). The picture quality on the KDL55EX500 is still nothing to laugh about. It is simply beautiful. It's sharp, vibrant, and bright. My only gripe is that flesh tones on my older Samsung seemed to look better and smoother, not sure why - but it's true. But that's a minor complaint in an otherwise excellent-looking TV.

This TV is great with games. I could not discern any sort of input lag at all on standard settings. Sony, however added a "game mode" where it supposedly increases response time from the TV. To be honest, the difference is minute, but I like that it's there. If you're a gamer and want decent response time from your TV with minimal input lag - the KDL55EX500 won't disappoint.

This is a beautiful set!, February 13, 2010

Arthur Carter (Phoenix, AZ USA) -

This review is from: Sony BRAVIA KDL-55EX500 Series 55-Inch LCD TV, Black (Electronics)

Had been looking for a new tv for a little while to upgrade from my 6 year old Mitsubishi Rear Projection 48" HDTV. Was trying to decide between Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, LG, and Vizio, and also LCD or Plasma. Did extensive research and decided LCD was the way to go for us. We had decided on a last years model Sony 52", but then it was sold before we got ready to get it. Thank goodness it did! Went back to Costco and found this beautiful new 2010 model Sony 55' LCD KDL-55EX501(costco's model is 501, whereas other stores carry the 500-same tv, even lists it in the instruction manual that way). This tv is so sharp and beautiful! The colors are rich and vibrant, and that was out of the box without adjusting any settings yet!Fine tuning made it even better. Has the Bravia engine 2 and that really makes it look sharp. 120hz processing, and i really dont even see anything wrong with motion scenes. Black sure looks black to me on this set, which is an issue with lcd tv's. Most stores don't carry the set yet as it was just released the first week of Feb. Can't beat Costco though, at this time its [...] and the offer not only the standard warranty on all electronics, but on this model tv, right on the box it states is has a 3 year warranty! Paperwork inside confirmed this! Lots of settings and adjustments can be made as well. Does 1080/24p very nicely. If you can get one, i would really recommend it, you wont be disappointed.

excellent value, March 4, 2010

Informed Shopper "hal2007" (CO USA) -

This review is from: Sony BRAVIA KDL-55EX500 Series 55-Inch LCD TV, Black (Electronics)

This Sony was sold to me directly from Sony in exchange for a 5 year old 60" Sony that had an 'optic block' problem that would require an expensive fix. Sony had been repairing this problem for free but I had no way to know that until mine went bad and then talking to Sony they had switched to an exchange program where the customer would pay about slightly less than half the retail price. If you have a slightly older Sony that is putting either a blue color on the screen or a green one you might start directly with the Sony Style website and contact their support help to see what they may offer you. On one hand I was very sad to see my 5 year Sony develop a problem but on the other hand I have to give Sony credit for standing up to the known problem.

The largest TV offered in the exchange program was this 55" model or I certainly would have gone for the 60" because I prefer that size. That said this model has a better and more vibrant picture than my older Sony which was a premium model that I had paid over $4,000 for. So the bottom line for me is that this new Sony has a better picture for less than the old one even if you pay retail. My old Sony weighed 113lbs and this new one is around 65lbs so it is easier to handle. The remote is better and more intuitive. We watch this in a very bright room filled with natural sunlight during the day and this TV handles that very well with no glare. The speakers are nothing to write home about and probably not as good as my old Sony but we tend to watch movies with the sound coming from a quality sound system anyway. My old Sony was 1080i and this one is full 1080p which is an excellent picture. We get our signal from Dish Net which broadcasts almost exclusively in 1080i anyway. For movies we use a Samsung Blu-Ray player which works beautifully with this TV. In fact there is a type of automatic setting that the Samsung and the Sony have where when you turn on the Samsung the TV also turns on and then goes directly to the input from the Samsung. Very cool. Truthfully I can barely tell the difference from a good blu-ray picture and a good standard DVD. We tend to use Netflix a lot and always order Blu-Ray when available.

I thought the set up was easy and the available HDMI connections are excellent as my old Sony only had two HDMI inputs and this one has 4. We actually use all 4 with a DVD recorder, Dish Net, HD camcorder, and the blu-ray.

I would have no problem recommending this Sony LCD TV and in fact when I looked in the stores I thought the new LED LCDs seemed a little too bright. I do miss the 60" size but everyone who has looked at this picture has been in the 'wow' camp with it.
