- I upgraded from a 42″ projection TV. WOW what a difference. I was worried it would be too big. however after having the TV for a few months now I can say it’s a perfect size. Delivery was simple and easy. They called a few days out and gave me a few options of delivery days/times.
- They took the Sony XBR LCD TV out of the box and set it up on the stand for me. Normally they would test it, but since it was cold out i signed a waiver that they did not test the TV and that if I had any issues once the TV warmed up they would come back and return the TV. Luckily there were no issues at all.
- The internet widgets are really useful. I like that I can stream netflix to my LCD projection TV and do not have to use my xbox to do this. The interface is simple and easy for netflix/ streaming video. I have a cable box , but was interested in the built in tuner/ TV guide function.
- It took about 15 minutes or so to scan all my channels. I picked a good amount of HD channels(QAM). The tv guide interface is slick and makes navigating the channels like having a cable box. Very cool feature. Picture quality via built in tuner is better than my Scientific Atlantic cable box over hdmi .
- I do not use built in sound but tried it out for a bit. The built in sound sounds good for what it is, but if you are going to spend this kind of money on an HDTV you might as well pickup a surround sound setup. It was simple to shut off the built in speakers and only use the digital from LCD Projection TV to send to my receiver.
The picture quality on this sony XBR LCD TV is amazing. Bluray looks amazing.
- THe opening scene in the dark knight filmed in IMAX at full 16:9 is jaw dropping! The depth and clarity/color is stunning. Motion blur is reduced vs my previous 42″ projection tv.
- There are a few clear frame/stabilization modes. Standard is the best option in my opinion. If you have it set to high it changes the intent of what a director wants you to watch the movie. For sports / reality shows I can stand the high mode, but for movies I had to switch it off.
- There are different scene presets which are great! You can tweak the settings for each type of viewing mode. IE sports, gaming, movies, pc connection, etc etc.
- This is very useful. My sony XBR LCD TV is in a bright room (reason i got this over the sammy with a glossy screen) and during the day it’s nice to have the presets for different lighting conditions/viewing content etc etc.
- I use the sports mode for my daytime viewing (back light / color all the way up) During the evening for TV content I use the general setting and tweaked the back light/color to be better for low light viewing.
- For movie watching (all lights off) I have the “theater” mode tweaked / tuned via THX optimizer (Terminator 2 bluray). TV came really close to THX spec only a few settings needed to be tweaked.
