Best Rear Projection Television I originally had a Rear Projection Panasonic LCD 50" television. I had this TV for around 3 years, and was extremely happy with it, but decided I wanted a larger television and something capable of 1080p and that had HDMI inputs. When I first obtained the Panasonic television I didn't notice any ghosting or rainbow effects, but within a year of watching TV I noticed many of it's flaws, which was another factor that made me decide to upgrade. So began my search of the "perfect TV" as of this w...

Great TV, Great Value I bought this TV from Amazon about one month ago and have used it for watching a variety of programming (both HD and SD) and gaming.
I did a fairly substantial amount of research on HDTVs and basically learned that, until OLED or SED become commercial, there's not a "perfect" solution. Each technology has its own inherent advantages and disadvantages, and each company has its own ideas about implementation of those technologies and differentiating features.
To my eye, ...

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 ...

Amazing Picture ! I disagree with the review below , I was waiting for this TV since it was announced and bought it as soon as it went on sale , The picture is amazing , had 10 friends over for Monday night football , all agreed it was the best HD picture they have seen , Xbox 360 looks stunning , Reg digi cable looks Ok .. But we all know how that goes ... 3 HDMI full 108P inputs, PC input, TV looks sexy , side speakers not used but do not look bad at all. This has to be the finest HDTV out today with non of the...

Best DLP HDTV by far. Way better than expected!! I just purchased the Sony KDS-R60XBR2.
I'm extremely pleased and want to share my observations along with a few tough lessons with other buyers.
I had several criteria and did months of research and shopping.
When all was said and done, here's what it came down to:
1) no hotspot issue, which was critical for a rear screen TV (see below)
2) excellent picture quality from a variety of viewing angles,
3) large enough screen size(s) available.

Great TV but a real space hog We spent about 3 months researching and looking at TVs that were at least 58", 1080P, and had a bright clear image quality and wide viewing angles. None of the LED TVs came close to meeting the size requirement so we nixed them. All the DLP and LED DLP rear projection TVs seemed very dim and could not be viewed at an angle, although the price was right. The ony plasma that was 1080P and 58" was way too expensive, although it did have awesome picture quality.
We were about to give up...

VERY POOR Customer Service The Tv was spectacular for 28 days! Only 28 days. Then on Dec.29 the TV went balnk... no picture, no sound. My gosh, the football bowl games were going on!!! I contacted Sony customer (mal)support and their recommended technician. On Jan. 10 he finally shows up (yes, I missed all the bowl games). He has NO CLUE what is wrong with the TV. The technician comes back on Jan. 25 and exchanges nearly every internal part of the TV!!! Still, no picture, no sound. I asked them for a new TV under...

good specs, bad quality My first R60XBR2 had a green uniformity problem, and Sony said it was a known issue and that they would have to work on it. Instead of that, I returned it to amazon, and they sent out a replacement. Upon receiving the replacement, it was clearly another return or a refurbished TV. This one also had a green uniformity problem. I contaced amazon again to return the TV, and they said that it is a widespead problem. It would be a great TV if it didn't have these green issues.

The product does not match the price I waited for this new Sony SXRD XBR Rear Projection HDTV for months but was disappointed after seeing it. I spent hours at a retail store to compare this Sony TV with Rear Projection HDTVs from other makers. While Sony is using SXRD technologies and other makers are using DLP and LCD technologies, the picture quality of KDS-R60XBR2 is not much better than those DLP and LCD rear projector TVs. Sony's SXRD technology might be advanced two or three years ago but not any more. The pictures of som...

Very Satisfied customer Owned the t.v almost a year the picture quality is the same as it was the day we opened the box. HD is great with my comcast digital cable. It has a good design is easy to use and the sxrd chip provides stunning clarity unsurpassed by any t.v in its class. Highly recommended for anybody looking for a t.v that makes your friends,family, and neighbors say "wow"!!!!
