I decided to upgrade my 3 year old 40" Sony Bravia 40X3000 and fancied one that was 3D capable. I only buy Sony TV's and have done for as long as I can remember due to their superior picture and build quality although you do pay more. This TV is stunning, not only does it look superb but the dynamic LED back lighting and other features produces a picture of a quality I have not seen before on a TV, I thought my old one was good! The 3D is also amazing on this TV whether it is Sky 3D or 3D games on my PS3 although not a huge amount to watch at the moment. The only slight downside, as is with most 'thin' TV's is there is no room for decent speakers. Don't get me wrong, they are perfectly adequate for normal viewing, I tend to watch most programs through my 5.1 sound system anyway and turn the TV down. I thought at first 52" might be a bit OTT but I am glad I went for that size now. You will not be disappointed with one of these!
