5 Stars Great
This is the first LCD HDTV that I have purchased but I’ve had a lot of compliments on the picture and I’m extremely well satisfied.
5 Stars Sony XBR9 Rocks!
I had owned a Sony 36″ XBR WEGA TV for years and was very happy with its performance, but decided it was finally time to upgrade to a HD LCD. After researching them for a couple months, I had narrowed it down to Samsung and Sony in the $1,300-1,500 price range. I choose the Sony because the picture looked more natural. I have to agree with others that reviewed the Samsung that the colors were almost too bright and the off angle view was not as sharp. I couldn’t have made a better choice. This TV is amazing. The picture is clear and the HD is great, especially with blu-ray and PS3 games. I can sit back at my dining room table and view the picture from a 35 degree angle with no dark spots or distortion. I only have to have the brightness at a 40 percent level. I’ve read some reviews that you have to really tweak the picture settings to get the picture right, but I thought it was just fine right out of the box. The pre-set picture modes are easy to toggle through for movies or regular TV, and the 240 hz refresh rate makes games, action movies, and sports flow smoothly without any blur. As for the sound, many people complain about LCD TVs in general, but I thought this one was good. I do have to have the level turned up to 30 and it lacks some bass, but it’s much better than I had expected. Lastly, the inputs and outputs are plenty. Has a digital out so I could hook into my stereo. I’m looking forward to hooking up my ethernet cable to explore the video and wiget capabilities.
5 Stars An awesome TV
Bought this TV through the Amazon Warehouse deals. Said it had blemish on the housing. But found the TV in perfect condition. The box was resealed in original packing. Love this TV especially there is no blurred in fast action motion picture. The 240 hrz is something people should pay real attention to. The picture quality is phenominal. I have my bose system hooked on to the TV and it gives life like movie experience. This is a great TV!!!
4 Stars Amazing TV , but…
We purchased this TV locally (not from Amazon) & it has an amazing picture & the sound is great too. The only complaint I have is that the On Screen TV guide will not set up. It fills in the channel labels but, no program description. I know it takes a few days to fill in but, it’s been a week or more. Our XBR6 did all this (in about 3 days) without a problem.
We love the Guide! We find ourselves running to another room & checking out the Guide on our XBR6 so we can watch it on our XBR9!
Does anyone have a “fix” for this? We’ve re-checked our setup several times.
