Sony loverSeptember 9, 2008 This TV it is so great, it looks wonderful with my dish network hd reciver even in the channels that are not hd. Also I am speachless of how the PS3 looks. Before I bought it I read some reviews but the thing that make me get it It was the fact that Scott Wilkinson(editor of the ultimateAVmag.com) said that it one of the best in the market. I hear his intervention at the radio show "The Tech Guy" with Leo Laporte every week. It was a very good deal and if you are a Sony lover like me you will like it so much.
Awsome picture, sound and quality. The Best!!!September 8, 2008 The quality is unbeatable. I feel like I'm looking through a clear window at what ever I'm watching. ESPN HD is awsome! Much better than I had expected!
Best lcd on the market.July 30, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Arrived on time and in excellent condition. Delivery guys even helped me put it on my tv stand. I did have to hook up all the cables myself, but that wasn't a problem for me. Best Buy was selling this for $1,000 more, plus tax. I got free shipping and didn't have to pay sales tax, so I saved about $1,275. I bought from Electronics Expo which is an authorized dealer, and Sony did say I would get the 18 month warranty. It has the best picture and colors I saw in lcd tvs, when I looked at them in all the local electronic stores in my area. I would highly recommend this tv and buying it from Electronics Expo. What a deal I got.
Very, very good - but there are better choicesJuly 5, 2008 9 out of 9 found this review helpful
In the past six months, I've been fortunate enough to purchase two flat-screen TVs for different parts of my home, and one is the Sony XBR5 LCD TV. I find the picture and sound quality very good, especially on HD sources such as 1080p Blu-Ray. The HDMI and other connections work flawlessly. The controls are well done with easy-to-navigate menus, and all the technology Sony describes adds up to a really good product. Side by side against Samsung or other LCD competitors, I think Sony clearly has the best product.
I would leave it at that, however, the truth is that as good as the Sony is, it doesn't hold a candle to the other TV I recently bought - a 50" Pioneer 1080p plasma. While plasma may seem to be yesterday's technology, I had a tight space that the Pioneer 5010HD fit perfectly, and so I went with it. Now, after several months of watching the plasma versus the Sony, I can honestly say that the LCD technology in the Sony has a long way to go before it catches the Pioneer's picture quality. Indeed, after watching the plasma for any length of time, going back to the LCD is a bit of a let-down...by comparison, the Sony is harsh and grainy, with much poorer black levels and much less of a "film like" experience.
Yes, I give the Sony high marks for what it is - but I'd encourage anyone reading this review to take a long hard look at a similar sized high-end plasma unit before committing to the Sony.
Better Than ExpectedApril 21, 2008 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I have been waiting for 2 years to join the flat panel, high def TV crowd. The thing that always stopped me was price, quality of standard def on a fixed pixel TV, and the number of high def stations to actually watch. Prices have come down and the number of high def stations has gone up so picture quality was left.
After researching it as much as I could, I got this TV. The floating glass perimeter with piano black surround looks sharp; I think much better than the XBR4.
On to picture quality: high def is fantastic as you would expect but standard def looks as good or better as a regular tube TV. It says in the owners manual that the picture is as good as the input. I have a satellite digial signal and get the results I describe. If you have cable or over the air then you may get different results.
Another thing I will mention is the remote has easy to use buttons on it to adjust the picture settings as well as the size. This means you can change the settings to the default picture settings for cinema, for example, which tweaks alot of calibrations on color, motion, etc. You also can easily toggle thru the picture sizes to stretch or unstretch the picture. I find the longer I have the TV the less I use these because I have found the ones I like best but it is nice to know they can be easily adjusted if desired.
Finally, I also got a Toshiba upscaling DVD player/recorder for about $130. It says it upscales DVD's to 1080p and they do look fantastic. I may have to hook up a regular DVD player to see if there really is a difference but overall this TV has worked out great for my situation.
