Better Than Expected April 21, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have been waiting for 2 years to join the flat panel, high def TV crowd. The thing that always stopped me was price, quality of standard def on a fixed pixel TV, and the number of high def stations to actually watch. Prices have come down and the number of high def stations has gone up so picture quality was left.
After researching it as much as I could, I got this TV. The floating glass perimeter with piano black surround looks sharp; I think much better than the XBR4.
On to picture quality: high def is fantastic as you would expect but standard def looks as good or better as a regular tube TV. It says in the owners manual that the picture is as good as the input. I have a satellite digial signal and get the results I describe. If you have cable or over the air then you may get different results.
Another thing I will mention is the remote has easy to use buttons on it to adjust the picture settings as well as the size. This means you can change the settings to the default picture settings for cinema, for example, which tweaks alot of calibrations on color, motion, etc. You also can easily toggle thru the picture sizes to stretch or unstretch the picture. I find the longer I have the TV the less I use these because I have found the ones I like best but it is nice to know they can be easily adjusted if desired.
Finally, I also got a Toshiba upscaling DVD player/recorder for about $130. It says it upscales DVD's to 1080p and they do look fantastic. I may have to hook up a regular DVD player to see if there really is a difference but overall this TV has worked out great for my situation.
Best lcd on the market. July 30, 2008

Arrived on time and in excellent condition. Delivery guys even helped me put it on my tv stand. I did have to hook up all the cables myself, but that wasn't a problem for me. Best Buy was selling this for $1,000 more, plus tax. I got free shipping and didn't have to pay sales tax, so I saved about $1,275. I bought from Electronics Expo which is an authorized dealer, and Sony did say I would get the 18 month warranty. It has the best picture and colors I saw in lcd tvs, when I looked at them in all the local electronic stores in my area. I would highly recommend this tv and buying it from Electronics Expo. What a deal I got.
Awsome picture, sound and quality. The Best!!! September 8, 2008
The quality is unbeatable. I feel like I'm looking through a clear window at what ever I'm watching. ESPN HD is awsome! Much better than I had expected!
Sony lover September 9, 2008
This TV it is so great, it looks wonderful with my dish network hd reciver even in the channels that are not hd. Also I am speachless of how the PS3 looks.
Before I bought it I read some reviews but the thing that make me get it It was the fact that Scott Wilkinson(editor of the ultimateAVmag.com) said that it one of the best in the market. I hear his intervention at the radio show "The Tech Guy" with Leo Laporte every week.
It was a very good deal and if you are a Sony lover like me you will like it so much.
First Time HDTV Owner October 23, 2008
I just purchased mine from Ultimate Electronics for [...]. I looked at this years model side-by-side with the XBR5 and could not tell a difference in picture quality (w/ BluRay video). I do not have satelite or cable so I get my HDTV signals over the air for free via 10 year old UHF Amplfied indoor antenna. I now get more digital channels than analog. The shows broadcast in 1080 are amazing (some are even in 16:9 aspect ratio). Traditional analog signal images are pretty fuzzy, so I purchased an outdoor HD antenna [...]that I still need to install to get all the over-the-air digital channels available. The remote even controls my 8 year old Sony DVD player. Beautiful TV, beautiful picture, beautiful warranty, beautiful price!
