Sony 40" Bravia HDTV

Wow!

Dear friends and family,

Karen and I have looked at ads on the High Definition TV's for months but watching the prices in each Sunday paper. I told Karen that when I could buy one for $1,000.00, we would go shopping.

Yesterday's Sunday paper had an Olivia 42" 1080p from Target at $879.00 or close and we thought we would look at this one. Karen researched the different brands and had a great insight into what we needed and/or wanted. First, the picture on the Olivia was great as was the Sony sitting a few sets away. Looking at the specs, the Olivia had only 2 HDMI ports for your DVD recorder, home theater and the like acessories you may have to hook up.

The Sony was almost $1,200.00 but they had a 10% weekend off on this model plus if you put it on a new Target credit card, this got the set down to $1,079.00 just $79.00 over my target price. Again reading the specs, the Sony has 3 HDMI ports plus a PC input port that made it available to play movies or anything off my laptop.

If you have a laptop with Windows Media Windows version, it is designed to do this seamlessly. Another saving buying in Selby county rather than Jefferson or the townships of Hoover, Birmingham or even Vestavia. Two have 10% sales tax and one 9% so there again was another savings. We bought the one needed HDMI cable to add to the one we already had, plus $79.00 for a 3 year inhouse or pickup service policy. All this was available now with the 10% they had off for this two day weekend.

We set it up in a heartbeat and it is cruising along with me watching the Olypics basket ball and swimming as we speak. If you have not bought a large screen HD TV yet, the Sony comes with one of the highest if not the highest ratings of customer satisfaction and customer service records. Wish us luck! Now what to do with my 26" Sony sitting in the corner of the dining room, a great TV for someone who needs one that in almost 5 years it too has performed like a champ. Call me or email me! It is nice, but the bugger is HEAVY, so bring two burly men to move it.

 Jeff N,

The home theater and DVD/VCR systems all hooked up with no problem and no programning. The Sony found these aSaP and we watched "Top Gun" and "Italian Job" on the new system and the sound and screen size made them all NEW again. Thanks for reading my post.
