SONY KDF60XBR950 60-Inch LCD Projection TV
Absolutely Stunning - The Ears Look Better in the Home
I have the 50\\" version of this set and am EXTREMELY happy with the purchase. I had high expectations for this TV, all of which have been exceeded.   <br /> <br />The high definition picture is remarkable. 1080i via component or HDMI looks remarkable. I've seen many an HDTV, but this is easily the best picture I've ever seen. The dynamic range, accurate color, and sharpness are unparalleled.  After having it for two months, I still am stunned every time I turn it on.  I am using Comcast cable for reference.  <br /> <br />One major concern for me was the quality of the standard definition picture, given the unfortunate high percentage of TV still in SD.  To my surprise, the SD picture is very very good. I compared a number of TVs in this catergory in the store, but found it difficult because most stores' SD signal is split a million times and stinks. I can tell you that in the home it looks very good.  <br /> <br />DVD's also look superb. 480p and 480i looks remarkable, as good as a DVD can look. One unexpected thing did happen though... after seeing movies in 1080i HD from HBO-HD and StarzHD, I can't wait for the new HD DVD or Bluray discs to hit the market... the picture for HD movies is absolutely stunning. Watching Shark Tales in HD is an experience.  <br /> <br />Lastly, we almost didn't purchase this TV because of the side speaker \\"dumbo ears\\".  I hated them in the store, but in the house they really are MUCH less obvious. I actually really like the way the TV looks on our corner stand... given the short depth and the width, it looks like a huge LCD panel instead of a RPTV.  <br /> <br />Buy it, you won't regret it!
