 Never Again... Jul 05, 2010
I bought this TV for relatively cheap. And while I did get it for cheap, I am not impressed with the TV and would recommend others to stay away. There are some major issues with this TV that directly impact viewing pleasure.
Pros:
-Decent to Good quality HD picture.
Cons:
- Smaller number of inputs. Two HDMI and two component are not enough.
- Audio from HDMI cuts out regularly regardless of device (Xbox 360, PS3, and hd cable box: this doesn't happen at all on our other TV) This is also important because of the lack of inputs. Because there are only 2 component inputs one of my devices HAS to be on HDMI.
- Due to speaker configuration you can only hear at proper volumes if you are directly in front of the TV. If you sit off to the side audio is much quieter.
- Terrible color banding, especially in SD programming. But it is not limited to SD, it even occurs in high def content.
- Generally bad picture for any SD content, where as my Samsung LCD displays SD content much cleaner.
- Advanced Contrast Enhancement: Worst "feature" to ever be included in a television. Depending on how dark the picture is on screen, the TV will automatically dim the backlight. It is not a gradual dimming and makes dark scenes almost impossible to see. Speaking to a Sony tech support rep, it can not be turned off on this model.
This TV alone has essentially turned me off to any Sony television ever again. Some people may not have these issues, or even notice them (color banding, ACE) but to me they are a major annoyance.
worried Jun 29, 2010
i am now super worried now i m thoroughly reading these reviews and have just ordered this TV!! i was so excited to receive the product and now i feel teary eyed...i never expected this much negative reviews on a sony...
 Purchased from a friend Mar 17, 2010
I have always relied on the Sony name for the quality of their products. I replaced my CRT television with this model from a friend who bought it when it came out for a guest bedroom and it did not get used much at all.
I was baffled with the pixellation of the display quaility at first. I do not have cable/satellite but the HD broadcast quaility is great even with regular "bunny ears." Some broadcast channels are still broadcasting in analogue quality display so there was a BIG difference with picture quality between those stations and HD ones. I have read that a good quaility antenna can provide a better picture quality and more channel options - a future upgrade soon.
I use Roku to play Netflix and Pandora and the pixellation issue was the same until I change the box setting to HD (and used an HDMI cable) from the CRT standard, and the graphics are very sharp, I hope Netflix will start offering HD videos soon!

 Excellent May 28, 2009
I bought this TV in October 2008.It was shipped to me, in south Florida, from California and out of the box the picture and sound were great.
I have Dish Network HD service and the receiver to the TV connection is HDMI.I also have a VCR\DVD combo unit connected using component cables.
I have the Sony 32S3000 which is now 20 months old and I calibrated it using AVIA II.So,I used those values for the 37M initially, and after about six weeks of use I calibrated it using AVIA.The value differences were very slight.
I have a feeling the negative reviews are based on initial impressions and maybe there is a bad connection or an incorrect connection.The Sony manual is very informative.
Also,set your receiver to the native resolution of the TV, which is 720P.I also have the sound set to PCM ONLY and the RF MODE on the Dish receiver.This prevents the sound levels from fluctuating in two channel stereo.
I think this TV, as well as my other Sony, are fantastic.I definitly recommend.

Disappointed May 07, 2009
I purchased this elsewhere for $600. At the time you couldn't get a 37" LCD for that price. I trusted the Sony name based on my own personal experience with a variety of their products, but I am very disappointed with this set. The image quality is sub-par. As many of the other reviews state, it looks like a pixelated mess. Fortunately this is a secondary TV that is in the bedroom, and viewed from enough of a distance that its watchable. I would not recommend this set.

Consumer Reports Says: Buy HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (July 2010) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2009 and June 2010. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its July 2010 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com came closest.
