5.0 out of 5 stars Great Value for the Money. Great Picture., April 3, 2009

(NOTE: GET THE FIRMWARE UPDATE FROM SONY'S WEBSITE TO UPDATE TO ER3.84-D828 SOFTWARE VERSION. IT IS A MUST TO FIX A PROBLEM WITH THE ADVANCED CONTRAST ENHANCER FEATURE!!) I picked up this TV a couple weeks ago and wanted to really wait and see how it looked before I reviewed it. I replaced an older Sony Hi-Def LCD rear projection 1080i model. The older TV had a good picture, but OMG, the difference is like day and night. I have used it for an XBOX360, a PS3 and with Dish Network Hi-Def receiver/DVR. The standard def is better than most of the other LCD's I looked at but as with all you can see the flaws of the SD picture. This one looks better than most for SD though. First off I'm not sure about the HDMI color space issue another reviewer was talking about, as I did not experience that with my XBOX360 (EDIT: THIS ISSUE DOES EXIST WHEN SETTING THE XBOX360 TO SOURCE OR AUTO. SPECIFY THE COLOR SETTINGS EITHER RGB OR YCBCR AND IT'S FINE) . I have it set to ycbcr and it looks AMAZING! Just make sure and set to ycbcr709 for HD for movies and RGB for games. The PS3 also looks INCREDIBLE! This TV had all the features I wanted and has delivered higher performance and picture than expected. The one thing I was worried about was the fact that it has an 8-bit LCD panel, rather than a 10-bit panel. I was really worried it would have banding or "paint by number" effects. I picked up a copy of Digital Video Essentials (DVE) HD Basics on Blu-Ray to calibrate the TV and to my surprise it included a test for checking for slow processing and for color banding "paint by number" effects. This TV was able to reproduce a perfect gradation in both color and gray scale with ABSOLUTELY no banding or "paint by number" effects whatsoever! I was really impressed. According to DVE an 8-bit panel should be able to do this as long as the processing board is fast enough and good enough quality. These problems are more due to the processing than an 8-bit panel according to DVE. The 10-bit is not necessary if you have adequate processing. After more research I have found that, that is why most higher end manufacturers, like Sony have started using 8-bit panels again in most but their very high end models. After calibrating this TV with DVE the picture is far better than I had ever hoped for, with great black levels and extremely vibrant, true to life color. The off angle viewing is exceptional. The picture morphs a little from extreme side view due to the flat screen, but the contrast and brightness even from almost sideways is awesome! On the last note, the Dish Network receiver/DVR looks great as well. Any problems with the picture was due to the signal from the receiver and not the TV itself. All the HD channels have some compression and it shows, but wouldn't matter how good the TV is for that. DVD, Blu-Ray, XBOX350 and PS3 have absolutely the best picture I have seen on any other LCD. They only thing that could be as good or better is Plasma, but I really wanted a Sony and they only make LCD's now. I am very pleased with my purchase and would highly recommend this TV for anyone. The matte finish is great as I have a lot of ambient lights and side windows in my living room. The only other TV I was considering was the Samsung and the highly reflective, glossy screen just would not work for me. Other than that, the Samsung had an INCREDIBLE picture as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, March 19, 2009

Just picked this up yesterday from the local BB to replace my aging 7 year old Sony 46" rear projection 1080i set with this puppy...
Now that we get MotionFlow @ 120hz on the V series I think this set is a no brainer. If I had the money I would probably choose this over the XBR anyways because i think it's a good value and I honestly can't tell the difference between this and the XBR. I just had to pop in Planet Earth on the PS3 and watch the bird scene from the beginning of Pole to Pole and it's like going from SDTV to HDTV all over again how sharp everything looks now.

Which TV should I get RCA or Insignia? Both are 46" Class / 1080p / 120Hz / LCD HDTV?
Q. Both are 46" Class / 1080p / 120Hz / LCD HDTV
If you have to pic one which would it be?
There's a 100 dollar difference for the RCA.
If you have to pic one which would it be?
There's a 100 dollar difference for the RCA.
A. BOTH BRAND ARE UNRELIABLE TV.
Insignia are local in house trademarks / brand. TV only sold un USA. all products is by small TV maker in China. use low prices / Low quality parts. failure rate is high. up to 20 % in 3 years. 15 % of TV getting power supply problems in 2 years.you can get the same TV sold in third world countries under other buyer brand .* Some Insignia TV may use LG Korea made LCD display Panel , but sales people told you TV is by LG , beware of this )
RCA . world NO 1 in TV during 60s / 70s . however the USA no 1 Electronics trademark / brand sold to Thomson SA France around 1996 . and Thomson group sold the BRAND name - RCA to China TCL group . all RCA TV manufactures by China TCL. you able to get the same model sold under TCL brand in China or under other Buyer brand in third world countries. because is cheap. but unreliable.
you MAY not need a quality TV. in you mind , just a good TV within you budget.but keeps send TV for repair is FREE during warranty ( even 3 years warranty ) , but case transport / shipping charge and MAY with out TV from 1 to 4 even 6 weeks. because of quality. MAY need to replace LCD display panel in 3/4 years. beware of this issue. ( it make you mad ).
Worth to Paid more for International Brand for quality ( even you don't need ) + reliable ( you need ) .
Samsung and LG TV in quality and reliable .failure rate is 2 % max 3 % in 6-8 years.
there manufactures by own from end to end. use own made LCD display panel. designs back up by 40 years experience R & D team.quality always in control.even TV from Samsung China / Malaysia // LG China. but the oversea factory is 100 % OWN.
Insignia and RCA TV . take high risk . !! try not .
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
46 inc big screen . Panasonic Plasma is the best in quality and prices. Plasma always with out motion blur. true / deep dark colours . much better display quality than standard LCD TV. New Panasonic Plasma technologies make easy burn in / over heat not an issue any more. life time is 60,000 hours as good as LCD TV ( better life time than Insignia.RCA LCD TV ) . go for Panasonic 46 ins Plasma TV . best quality . great reasonable prices compare to same screen LCD.
