Rated 100% by by Big-Ed (Jan, 2012)just like any really HD product, you need other things to go with it, the tv itself is a great tv, the picture is better then what some non sony tv's have, even in 2D, BUT, as with all 1080p and 3D tv's, if you want true 1080p and you want your 3D movies and games to look right , you need better HDMI cables then low dollar cables, most low buck cables are 1.3k , you need 4k or 3D ready HDMI cables.
Rated 100% by by SanMan60 (Sep, 2012)This is the greatest television I have ever had, it has Netflix, online rental DVD's and Hulu etc.... It is really good with HD.

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.
LS5700 by kuznetsov (Apr, 2012)I decided to buy this model because of good viewing angle range and better than average sound.
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.
LS5700 by B.-Geraghty--Resident-Geek (Jan, 2013)Surprisingly enough to me since we bought our last HDTV in January of 2011, the world of HDTVs has gotten even more incredibly thin and light.
