XBR's are woth the extra money
I sold HDTVs for 5 yars and finally dropped the $$$$ on 1. This one is great. brIve always loved teh XBR line- and told others it is worht the money.brbrFor a factory set of speakers on a TV it wont be beat- but it is not a theater systembrbrThe picture is what makes it worth the $$$ though. Blu-ray is flawless and regular DVDs are great. Digital TV non-HD programming looks good but most stuff is in HDnow anyways.brbrAlso sprts are the biggest thrill for me. 0 problem with the action scenes...

AWESOME Big Screen TV
This is our first big screen TV. Weve waited 9 years and shopped everything! The picture is perfect!! The detail and clarity when watching an HD channel are wonderful. The definition and depth of he picture is really great. People in the stands look likepeople when watching sports not just a montage of colors in the back ground. Sound is great for not having a full home theater system. Kids listen to music videos and sports sound is clear when volume is up and projects into the kitchen 25-30 fe...

What a picture!
I must say, colors pop out on this set like nothing I've seen before. They're extremely vibrant, amplififed by the 50,000:1 contrast ratio which makes for deep blacks. In a pitch dark room, the black levels nearly blend in with the surrounding environment. This is important to me since my viewing area is very dark with no ambient lighting.
Sound, for me, is not important on a TV since I have a home theater system. I imagine most people buying such a big, expensive set are in the s...

Worth the extra money to me
I have loved this tv since plugging it in. I have waited a while until buying an HD TV and it was worth the wait. Xbox 360 and wii are a whole new experience as well as all my DVDs. The clarity is breath takingbrbrThe remote takes awhile to get the hang ofbut an all in one does the trick. Set up took 15 minutes and the system is flawless. If someone were to ask Samsung or Sony I would go Sony all the way!! Worth the money

A joy to behold!
I am simply thrilled with this TV! I did a lot of research over a period of many months before making this purchase and it really paid off. I got a great price from Amazon and the product itself is wonderful! Great picture, terrific color, easy to set up and use, great features, very attractive sleek design. It allows you to either go with the standard settings or make all kinds of adjustments to the sound and picture from the easy-to-use menu options. You can customize your settings (and save t...

Dazzling picture
This was a big jump up. The last TV was a 6 year old 20 inch JVC tube, so you might think we would be easy to dazzle. Nevertheless I did a lot of research before springing for this one. Got it to watch DVDs; we don't have cable or dish, just an indoor antenna. We were really surprised at all the new (digital) channels we got, even without upgrading our antenna --so don't be hasty in assuming you need to have an outdoor antenna, cable, etc., especially if you are in a metropolitan area.

The Jekyll & Hyde of HDTVs
I spent a good 6 months researching HDTVs, reading reviews and visiting local stores to check them out before I decided on the Sony 52XBR6. But now I'm returning it; read on to find out why.
The only reason I went with an LCD instead of a plasma was because of the screen reflection issue. Our TV will be directly across from a large bay window, with our sofa in-between the two. So my wife and I didn't want to constantly have a reflection of the window behind us in the TV screen. S...

Five Stars but for I/O Layout
Three quick points:
(1) White Glove Delivery -- This is a big and expensive set, so I was a little stressed about delivery. But I needn't have been. Amazon's delivery service was excellent; the two representatives were competent and respectful (took off their shoes, didn't rush, unpacked and set up the set, etc.) -- a great experience.
(2) Picture -- This set replaces a four year old Runco 50" plasma in a large room with lots of windows/daylight. What a difference: not ...

Beware of Mura
Until the XBR8 is shipping, this is the top-of-the-line Sony LCD television. Consequently, as you might expect, the color, image, and performance are superb. The picture is honestly nothing short of spectacular.
It was a great disappointment, however, to discover that "mura" (also called black clouding), an irregularity in the LCD panel that keeps it from going dark evenly during playback of a very dark scene or during a dip-to-black in the program material, is STILL an issue with...
