I had the same problem initially with the sound quality. I was going to return the tv, but after doing some research tried to use some s-video cables and that fixed the issue. The coaxial cables just down provide what we need to use our tv.

ATTENTION!!! I've had this 40RV525U for nearly year and it IS NOT a REGZA! It's a step below a regza. My tv has HDMI problems and the tv has low sound.

This TV worked for two weeks or so, then it displays a green noisy grid over most of the screen after being on for a few minutes. It doesn't appear to be the screen itself since the display calibration pictures and the screen saver icon are both clear and crisp, but with either the component (DVD) or HDMI (cable box) the display is unviewable. We will be exchanging shortly, and hopefully the replacement will be better. Two open-box/return units on the shelf at best buy is slightly disturbing. Why did they get returned?

All TVs are like that. This one may just not have a normalizer like some other TVs

I was very pleased with this product until the sound and picture started cycling on and off. I was told by Sony it needed a software update and I responded by asking them if it was defective and they said no that it was just a glitch--lol, what's the difference. They suggested a download fix, the repairman suggested a new circuit board was in order. I have the extended warranty and I think a new circuit board is just what the "doctor" ordered also, after all it's only a "glitch".

Thanks for your information....turns out I have the exact same problem...when the image is low light, the TV automatically dims to the point where you cannot see the image!! I´m sending it back!

Films that are shown at 120hz look like video because our brains process images at the equivalent of about 60hz. Film has traditionally had that "dreamy" look because it was shot at 24 frames per second, which introduces motion blur, (many things in life move faster than what 24 frames per second can capture as a still image). I was just looking at this TV and other 120hz models at Best Buy. They were playing clips from "Pirates of the Caribbean and Speed. The picture was razor sharp, but it was TOO sharp. The movies did not look the way they looked in the theatre when they were projected on film at 24 frames per second. The lack of any motion blur was unnatural. In case you're interested, the reason why your computer screen will flicker and you will get headackes if your refresh rate is set below 60 hz is also because your brain processes images at the equivalent of 60hz. Wagon wheels appear to spin in the opposite direction when they are spinning around at the equivalent of 60hz because of this reason, also. As for the TV, I have to go with a 60hz set. I could never watch movies on a 60hz set.

Bought this today at Sams Club, i originally went to get a samsung 40" but for 100 less and 2 inches bigger with the same specs i couldn't resist, the quality compared to higher end models obviously isn't as good but for under 1000 this is one the best HDTV's i have seen, im still tweaking it out but blu-ray/PS3 games look absolutely gorgeous with HDMI and XBOX 360 w/ component.

If you are looking for a TV under 1000,900,800 i highly suggest this, its 42", 1080p great contrast/colors my ONLY complaint are the blacks, they are so black on some scenes you can't see certain things but like i said im tweaking.

very satisfied.
