Date: 2008-10-06 HDMI cable issue Everything about this set is wonderful but ONE: There is a known SONY flaw with this particular model (26-M4000) and the HDMI cable connection when connecting to an HD Cable Box. I experienced a very thin white line that I called a "pearl necklace" of digital interference at the top of the screen on ALL non-HD broadcast channels and many of the network HD channels. You can fake it out by using ZOOM but then you lose some of the picture. I guess you could live with it, but it annoyed the heck out of me. The workaround is to use component cables (provided for free by my cable company). I attached the component cables and "voila" -- no more "pearl necklace" interference. The sound and picture are sterling but the quality is a tick less fine than with an HDMI hookup. But I paid $579, returned the Monster HDMI cable and saved myself that $80 expense, so I really have nothing to complain about. Date: 2008-10-01 Excellent 26" LCD Did quite a bit of research between Samsung and Sony on their lines of smaller LCDs - had a 22" Samsung 650 but the viewing angles were not very good (very light from viewed from above, and very dark when viewed from below). This Sony has excellent picture from any viewing angle and the price is very comparable with other 26" on the market. Date: 2008-09-30 great picture, great sound!! we first purchased another brand, terrible sound quality. went with this tv for the speaker quality. it's great! Date: 2008-08-28 Extraordinary This product was "back ordered" at EVERY major electronics store, both national and local but for the same price the model it replaced was still available. Thanks to Amazon were got what we wanted, and fast. I might note that 2 of this model, "used", were available at the same price at the time, I assume both were display models since that seemed to be all that was at retailers. After our purchase both of these items were increased $100. Thanks, Amazon, even if we checked with about 12 outlets before we thought to go to you. It only takes one good one to fill the order. Donn Doyle Date: 2008-08-18 Mediocre performance from a quality name The M-Series 26" Sony Bravia has a nice looking HD picture but standard definition (SD) pictures are horrible and sound quality is poor. Once all the picture parameters are set for HD, these programs have great detail and resolution. Unfortunately, SD pictures are very soft, color rendition is poor and contrast is poor. Sound quality is tinny and sorely lacking in bass information. I bought this set beacuse of years of enjoyment with my 25" XBR from the late 1980's that still produces a great looking picture and has never seen the inside of a repair shop. But this M-series Bravia is a big disappointment given that some channels I enjoy are not currently offered in HD. That will change in time, but I thought any Sony product, even an entry level model, would be of better quality than this unit.
