As with all modern TVs the sound is awful--lacking bass! There is an audio outlet for external speakers, but its volume is not controlled by the remote. This means that you have to use a different remote to control volume through your external amplifier. Also, there are a number of useless options on the picture quality which I discovered after much hassle because there is no instruction book. The only thing I would have liked in that area it does not have; an automatic brightening of the picture if the ambient light is high (for daylight viewing).

Installation instructions completely inadequate. How is the TV supposed to be fixed to the unit it's standing on, by item G ? Automatic tuning lacks information, no indication of channels being tuned or strength of signal. Black background for accessing information too harsh. While watching TV channels picture quality and reception excellent.

this is the cheapest of sony's current TVs. it works well.
