FIVE STARS to AMAZON: ZERO STARS to SONY. AMAZON is the only way to purchase large screen HD-TV's like this.
They don't publicize it as much as they should, but they ship all large screen TV's with WHITE GLOVE service, at no extra charge. When you compare what all the other online retailers charge for this service, AMAZON is the LEAST EXPENSIVE. And to cap it all, they also have a no quibble/no cost return policy.
AMAZON delivered my TV with free (White glove) shipping in 4 days.
Unfortunately, after a f...

It's All About The Picture I've owned the KDS-60A2000 since mid-October but wanted to experiment with it for a while before making any comments. My feeling is when we make a large purchase based on individual choice we tend to "justify it" initially. A little time always helps the perspective. I've returned enough mistakes in my life to freely admit when I have made the wrong choice.
Firstly, I am not new to home theater or large screen television. For most of my life I have been an early adopter of both. I o...

Exceeded My Expectations ... I just bought this television for our new "media" room, and I have been blown away. I spent months visiting Best Buy and Circuit City trying to figure our which HDTV to buy. I knew, based on the size of the room we were furnishing, that I needed something bigger than 55 inches. Further research indicated that I couldn't really afford a quality plasma screen of that size. Checking out websites like [...] Comparing them side by side I was first drawn to the more vibrant colors of the Samsung. ...

Fantastic, but probably more TV than you need I own this spendid TV and I have had it for a little over two weeks. I love it to pieces. I put it in a two story high very spacious family room with two stories of windows letting in bright light. As long as I am sitting down at an appropriate viewing angle it is always clearly visible with negligable screen glare even in the most bright sunlight. Anything less than full summer sunlight and the viewing angle becomes almost anywhere you can actually get line of sight on the TV.
You ...

Comparison of the Sony KDS-R60XBR2 and Sony KDS-60A2000 This review covers the Sony KDS-R60XBR2 and Sony KDS-60A2000.
I first heard rumors about Sony's new XBR2 and A2000 product lines in spring 2006, when considering the replacement of a 25 year old RCA 25" console TV. I decided to delay the purchase of a new TV until the Sony KDS-R60XBR2 was available locally, so that I could see first-hand how the TV compared to other models. In that time frame I looked at several different TV models with great interest, but always found one or two ...

Awesome Television Although I have been a satisfied customer of Amazon for many years now, I was quite concerned about purchasing such a large, in size and cost, item from Amazon. The tranasaction, from beginning to end, could not have gone better. The price, with no sales tax, and no delivery fee, was about $700 less that Circuit City, Best Buy or Sears. Shipment was on time as promised, but actual delivery was 10 days ahead of schedule. My TV was delivered by Air Freight. They put the TV in the room, took i...

Excellent picture in all modes, but... ...you have to calibrate the display (as you should with ANY television), and because of the incredible detail possible with a 1080p picture, the "garbage in, garbage out" tenet of picture quality really holds here.
I can't stress those two points enough. If you cannot afford a full calibration by an ISF technician, you should at least purchase Digital Video Essentials or Avia Guide to Home Theater (both available at Amazon) and calibrate the brightness, contrast, color, and graysca...

Excellent in all modes This is my second HD set, and it's much much better than what I had. Not only does this have an excellent HD 1080p, but the picture from standard def sources is the best I've seen. The internal scaler (which converts SD to 1080p) is among the best made.
One thing that happens, though, is that people hook up devices that have their own (inferior) scalers and then complain about the Standard def. This happens often with "hi-def" cable boxes, where the installer sets the cable box to...

So far, not so great I've had this SonyKDSA2000 for 3 weeks and have already had a factory tech come and replace something called an optical block. This part had a scratch on it and caused the screen to show a baseball sized gray spot that showed itself on bright scenes. Now the lighter colored backgrounds look like fine woven fabric and are very distracting. Maybe I got a lemon. Mine never looked nearly as impressive as the one on display which was shockingly beautiful. I've viewed this in all light conditions from...

Time to buy...and set to buy Was waiting until I felt the time was right to upgrade my home system.
With this TV at this price...both are right.
I read several review sites and then went to a bunch of stores to check out the ones I narrowed down side by side. It came down to his one and the Samsung. At first, looked like the Samsung had more brilliant color. But then in watching both I noticed the Samsung did not handle motion nearly as well...a lot of artifacting. The Sony was pretty rock soli...
