Sony KDS-R60XBR2 60-Inch SXRD 1080p XBR Rear Projection HDTV
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 some DLP HDTVS even look more clear. The price of KDS-R60XBR2 is about twice as much as the similar size 1080p TVs from other makers.  I think people can consider to buy this TV if the price was reasonable. <br /> <br />Sony also cut some corners on this TV comparing with the previous model.  For example, the memory stick slot, a feature people like for conveniently loading photos and videos, was removed.  You can find memory slots (compactflash, memory stick, SD, etc.) features on TVs from other makers.   <br /> <br />Also, the screen size will be smaller than the real size if you connect this TV to a computer when using 1080p resolution.  I don't understand why sony has to do this.  <br /> <br />
