Sony KV-28FQ75

I've had this Sony KV-28FQ75 television for two years and paid £1300 for it. I still think that it's one of the best pictures around.

Just bought this as brand new clearance stock from a Sony shop for £379 with 3 year warranty! Last one unfortunately for anyone else! I put it down to newer versions being available but maybe they've realised the bad PR this set has had and decided to get rid. Can't believe that some online retailers are still selling this for over £1000. I'm very happy so far getting a top quality set (albeit with a dodgy reputation) for the price of a budget supermarket version. Not noticed any of the blurring that others have mentioned yet but will report back if I notice any later. Already got a KV32FQ80 for the living room, got this one for the bedroom to replace my Goodmans which knackered after less than 3 years. Hopefully this Sony will last longer, but if not it didn't cost much more than the Goodmans did 3 years ago.

I'm very unimpressed by this Sony KV-28FQ75 set, and have seen better pictures on a cheap £250 'supermarket special' no name set. The fact that this cost over £1500 is just rubbing salt in the wound. The set is out of focus on the left, the picture bows in at the top, and I get an annoying series of dark bars going from left to right. The retailer tells me this is normal for a Sony widescreen TV - a fact I believe as they have replaced the set 3 times.

Sony KV-28FQ75 Widescreen TV-My first purchase of a widescreen has yielded nothing but sorrow. Two sets and one repair later and I feel cheated and misinformed. I used to think Sony was a brand you could trust. However, it seems that money is the only thing they are interested in and not the quality of yesteryear. Only thing is which TV do I buy? They all seem to be no better than one another, why not get the technology right before releasing it?

The Sony KV-32FQ75 TV gives first rate pictures, almost to computer VGA monitor quality. In fact it is so good that particularly when using an RGB signal source, all sorts of digital nasties present in the original broadcast are quite noticeable (Telewest cable and Sky). It is often necessary to use the pre-defined MOVIE picture mode to remove the worst syptoms. On HIGH noise reduction cleans up most of the crud but at the expense of outright resolution.

The DRC50 mode gives staggering resolution on DVD sources with flicker being barely detectable, even on large bright areas.

The sound is OK but I use an external Hi-Hi system anyway.

I have had this Sony KV-28FQ75 TV for nearly a week (after spending all of friday evening building the stand) and I am overall very impressed. The shop had the KV28LS35 (50 hz) the KV28FX65 (100hz but has the oven style stand) and the KV28FQ65 (100hz DRC - digital reality creation, which is something which smoothes the picture I think) and you could see a marked difference in all three - the KV28FX65 being the best - I was noticing blemishes on the faces of the newsreaders which I hadn't seen before! However there is an underlying buzz coming out of the set - same sort of sound that comes out of a video. When there is any volume on the set then you cannot hear it, but ass soon as thereis silence, then you can hear it. It is annoying, but I am not sure whether I just have a faulty one or whether they all do it, but apart from that it is great.

I've only had this Sony KV-28FQ75 TV for a couple of weeks but it has been excellent. The initial setup is a doddle and the picture is great - have not seen the blurred picture mentioned in other reviews.

The sound needs some help which I am going to provide via an amplifier and surround sound speakers when cash allows. I knew that I would want more sound than the TV would provide so I concentrated on the picture when making the purchase.

The double picture, teletext and other toys all work well and are easy to use - it also looks great.

Its an expensive TV but worth the money - I would buy the same again.

Nice looking TV, however the first day I noticed that the left hand side of the screen was out of focus, even more so on Text based items, like SKY menu or TeleText. So another one was delivered after an enginner could not retify the focus problem. Second TV exaclty the same with Focus problem.

Sony said "not a characteristic of the set" however all these sets in every shop I look at them in seemed to suffer the same fault.

Actually the guy in our local Sony centre was not pleased when I showed him it, as he had just ordered one for himself.

Sorry Sony not a good picture.

I Have just had one weeks trial of the Sony FQ75 and though it is a well thought out piece of kit it has sadly gone back to the shop. It was a hard decision to make because the set looks gorgeous but get the dealer to make up the stand assembly, it is the worst I have ever had to build. The set has 100Hz picture with Sony's DRC-MF circuitry which gives a great picture and two tuners so you can watch two channels or TV and text at the same time. Sadly though the sound from this £1300 kit is totally FLAT. Even after turning on Loudness and playing with the menu's it still failed to thrill..so back it went..one sorry Sony!
