BRAVIA EX720 Series by c|net (Mar, 2011)We performed a hands-on evaluation of the 46-inch Sony KDL-46EX720, but this review also applies to the other screen sizes in the series.
BRAVIA EX720 Series by Steven-V.-Hight (May, 2011)The only thing I'd ask to be different so far is the addition of a single button on the remote to adjust screen size.
thickness
BRAVIA EX720 Series by Inksnatcher--Sally (Jul, 2011)Super thin with a nice thin stand so it fits comfortably on the TV cabinet and against the wall.
BRAVIA EX720 Series by Nadar (Jun, 2011)The TV is nice, looks good in my living room and the color depth is better than kdl46ex620 model.

Sony BRAVIA EX720 Series 40" | Rated 100% by by Steven-V.-Hight (May, 2011)True HD programs are best viewed in "full" screen mode; but some programs, like those on BBC America, may be in wide screen format, but they are not being transmitted in true HD, so they have to be watched in "zoom" mode to fill the screen.
Sony BRAVIA EX720 Series 40" | Rated 100% by by Thomas-Santelli (Jan, 2012)I am particularly pleased with how well the SONY 3D TV and SONY 3D BLUE RAY integrate together.
Sony BRAVIA EX720 Series 40" | Rated 80% by by WorkingMom--WorkingMom (Jan, 2012)there are a few 3d channels but tv requires a 3d player (blue ray for example) to watch other programs.
3d
Sony BRAVIA EX720 Series 40" | Rated 60% by by Mr-Leo (Aug, 2011)So this is the first of two HDTVs from the EX720 model lineup we have and while we love the TV for everyday (non-3D) use, both LED HDTVs have terrible 3D crosstalk (ghosting).
Sony BRAVIA EX720 Series 40" | Rated 100% by by Francis-Vuolo--Amazon-ManAdd 3D to this mix and the 5 Direct TV 3D channels are awesome.
Sony BRAVIA EX720 Series 40" | Rated 60% by by M.-Gledhill (Mar, 2012)I would love to comment on the 3D aspect of the TV, but, frankly, the cost of the 3D glasses is ridiculously high, the number of 3D movies is ridiculously low, so I'm not going to waste my money.

Sony BRAVIA EX720 Series 40" | Rated 100% by by C.-Laires (Jun, 2011)I typically watch HD channels or my Blu Ray movies, so after making some adjustments on the TV picture settings, I am very pleased.
