Why not just put one picture in the display. Then it can't change to another picture. Or 10 copies of the same picture. Then when it changes you get a momentary blank followed by the same picture.

FWIW the times listed to change pictures are: 3, 10, 30 sec; 1, 5, 30 min; 1, 3, 12 and 24 hours.

I was a loyal Sony fan for many years but over the last few years I have found that while the Sony picture is great, many units are short lived and defect riddled. I have had several Sony devices fail and a friend just threw out a wide screen Sony TV that lost its tuner right after warrenty. I've had a Sony TV for almost 20 years, sadly they don't make them like that anymore.

Depending on how you set it on your settings, it can be delayed for as long as you wished, but Sony has it in the box by default; so you will need to configure your settings. I have mine for 1 sec so I can see it quickly and depending on the circumstances, I will have it off if it is necessary, others, I would move it to 3 to 5 seconds to study it if any adjustments is necessary and this gives me a chance to delete this "image" right on the spot if it didn't turn out the way it was supposed to without having to go to the menu and review everything there. Everyone is different, so take your time and configure your Sony Camera settings the way you would like for it to be - but note: Some settings in some areas, are not applicable while others it would be available so it pays to take your time to configure everything everywhere. Grandma Rocks! (Vote if this was Helpful! Thanks!)

Hi, I have the sony bdp-bx57. I have it all set up and it works great except for my netflix. When I go to netflix all I get is what is in my instant Que, other people tell me that they can search for the movies they want by category or title search or favorites or how ever they want. What do I need to do so I can see more than just what is in my instant Que. Any help will be appreciated, Rick

Laurence, I've been doing a lot of research on these various Sony models (S,V,W, etc) and it appears that the S models do not have 120 hz refresh - only 60 hz - may be reason why they are the least expensive of all the models. Also, this 24p compatibility apparently only functions with Blu Ray players! Interesting. jm

One of the posters talks about the picture quality while using non-HDTV. I think he said he has it in a trailer, so no HDTV. Also, this unit doesn't have an S-Video connection, which is what is needed to get the best quality standard def. picture (at least that's my understanding). Which tells me that this unit is really not intended mainly for standard def viewing. Vizio, Sharp, and Philips make some units still with S-video connections. Maybe some others do, too, but so far I've found only those three brands. And if I had to guess, I would guess that eventually they'll all stop putting in S-Video connections, as more and more people start subscribing to HDTV.

I was passing time and looked up this TV on the Sony site to see what the cost is now because I bought it in December '08. I really like it and was surprised to see that Sony has discontinued it. It's disappointing to find my expensive new TV already obsolete. Anyone know why that would be, especially so soon? It's gotten good reviews.

It has a beautiful picture. An elderly person will probably need some help with setup as it requires a USB with the pictures to be installed on the digital frame. It can be programmed to turn on and off at set times during the day. I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing my pictures displayed a few seconds at a time. I believe the display time can be programmed too. Can't remember all the details as I've had the frame over a year now with no problems at all.

Hello George. Talked to Sony customer service three times today. Gave them Model & Serial numbers of our Vega Triniton. They confirmed it was a projector TV that entitled people to a free tv with free shipping. Our TV was not a projection TV. Suppose yours was? Anyway, the TV is at the curb for the City to pick up on Wednesday. Sony and I are no longer going to do business, but that's OK. Thanks for all your help.

I too am looking for a new cyber-shot. I am looking to buy the dsc-w290 but I have heard great things about the WX1, such as the new panoramic sweep mode and cmos sensor. Not to mention zoomable HD video is amazing.Why you should wait however, is that this is the first batch of cameras with the new sensor. It also uses a smaller LCD than the 3.0 inch they started using such as the dsc-w290 and is only 10.1 mp which if you shoot in 16:9 mode, will be even less.Sony will come out with new cameras being announced in January at the CES 2010 show and then you should decide. If nothing substantial is announced, the price for this will have dropped greatly. I too am looking for a new cyber-shot.

I have a Sony XBR5 no problems at all, perfect set. I watch a lot of sports the set is fantastic. Samsung is a great set also, but at the store I did see some issues with it. I have heard and read about the clouding problem in the past, but not on the new sets, it has been solved to my knowledge. XBR4/5 same great set. Sony and Samsung went on a joint venture with their panels, this means that both company's have the same panels (8th gen. panels). The only difference is the engine, I think in my opinion the Sony has more detail than the Samsung. At the same time we are nit picking, which ever one you like go with it and don't look back. Be happy with your choice, because there will always be a better set. FYI if you go with Samsung be sure it has the updated firmware, on the settings menu it should say "Oct2007". If it doesn't you can not update it, you will have to find another set that does. Check with Samsung for the current firmware update. Samsung "81 series" is the only set that I know of that you can update the firmware via the internet when available, this is a plus. Most company's don't guarantee blown pixals, some will say you need to have certain amount of pixals blown before they can exchange for a new one. Check out the extended coverage, make sure they cover blown pixals. Some people have had blown pixal problems, at the store they had a few sets with this problem including Sony and Samsung. I have read that a lot of people had customer service problems with Samsung less with Sony. I never had a problem with Sony's customer service in the past or their products. Pick the best set you like and forget everybody else, it's your set. ****HOPE THIS HELPS, GOOD LUCK****

As of Septemper 2, 2014 (when I returned mine) this feature had yet to be implemented. I don't know for sure if this is an advertised feature of the frame. What is an advertised feature is that the frame will display the most recent x number of photos rather then starting at the beginning of the slideshow each time it is cycled from sleep mode to be awaken by motion detection or power coming on. This advertised feature (in my experience with the 15 inch frame) did not work. I went through two frames and this feature did not work on either of them. Subsequently, I returned both for this and other malfunctioning reasons. As of Septemper 2, 2014 (when I returned mine) this feature had yet to be implemented.

I like the White framed and Burgundy framed LCD HDTV's better they look more distinctive, plus the sharp stand allows for Tilting and moving of the TV, the Sony does NOT allow any movement of the TV. However I wonder about the reliability of the Sharp... never have had a Sharp TV my Sony's have lasted at least 10 years without any problems... The Sharp model is native 1080p and built for gaming. You have to get the Sony 32XBR9 for a comparison...it just came out and is 999 at BB

Thanks for the input and advice. I'm new to high-end(expensive) digital camera market. I realized after I posted this question that the camera is sold out or otherwise unavailable now and it could take a month or two to get one even if I ordered today. I'll definitely look into buying one in the next few months.

I bought the DPF-D70 for my mother. I'm stunned that it has problems displaying photos that have been edited on one's computer. This quote is from the instruction manual "...file may not be supported by the photo frame because, for example, it is a JPEG file that was created with your computer." This statement apparently applies to any file that was in any way altered. It was my intent to load the frame with pictures past & present. Almost all the old photos I had that had been scanned will not display. This has nothing to do with file size. I am very disappointed with Sony & am thinking about returning this for a refund.

Q1: Do you watch sports once per week ??A: Yes, buy a 240 Hz TV.A: No, buy a 60 Hz TV.Q2: Do you sit closer than 8' from the TV ??A: Yes, buy a 52" TV.A: No, buy a 55" TV.I doubt the B-series panels can change the pixels in the 4 ms needed for 240 Hz. A 4 ms response time is EXTREMELY FAST for an LCD display. I am still trying to remember why I had to have a 120 Hz 42LNA850 TV. I certainly don't get any benefits from the 120 Hz. I know why I bought the 52" panel - half the programs only use 40-46" of this giant picture because of letterboxing !!!

I talked to the Sony warranty people for over an hour today. This is some of last years 4k parts, so it does have a track record. The panel is new just coming out in September. The one thing I like about the Sony is that they are not getting the Chinese boards. Way too many quality control issues coming out of the student free labor in these electronic plants. The tech high school kids are working for free and the quality shows. Samsung and Panasonic have had quality issues in both the Plasma and LCD/LED, read all the reviews here and you will see what I mean. I own two Samsung's, and switched to Sony, because of returning 3-Plasmas, 3-blu-rays, and having my current Samsung LED fixed twice. I own a PS3 and it just runs, when my Samsung Blu-rays would not. See my latest review on the size of pixels for repair under warranty.
