No headphone jack or night mode

This is my first ever HDTV so I can't compare it to others, but I am consistently blown away by the image quality when watching BluRay movies and playing PS3, and can't imagine how it could be much better.

However, I live in a small apartment and bought a pair of headphones for my wife so she could watch her girly TV series in private, ... until I realized that there is nowhere to plug in external headphones. It has RCA-out for an amplifier, but no headphones? Come on, even a $50 black & white telly has that!!

While on the subject of sound: when watching BluRay, the difference between soft and loud volume is so great that I constantly find myself increasing and decreasing the volume. This TV could really have benefited from a Night Mode, and sadly the PS3 does not seem to have one either.

Limited Life

It works well for four months. The pictures became unstable. I got the exchange. The screen went black awhile after the warranty expired. Can't say I got what I paid for. It is still Sony and supposed to work like one. I am disappointed as I have liked Sony products in the past.

Great set for a year and a half!

After a year and a half, my $2700 "dream TV" started to have issues. When I would turn on the set for the first time, the right half of the screen would be distorted or really dark. After about 10-15 minutes it would clear up and be great for the duration. Had a Sony cert tech (where I purchased the set) check it out. Said he had never seen this issue, nor did anyone at Sony. Finally diagnosed as bad panel. Repair cost $2500. Throughout the ordeal I had contacted Sony by phone and by email. Finally they agreed to replace the set with a new XBR9 for an additional $500.

Well that's over...

Well, it was a great TV while it lasted. Bought it a shade over two years ago and a couple of days ago the right side of the display started flickering and getting horizontal lines. After checking for interference, even though I had added nothing to my home that would cause it, I jiggled the set a little bit and it went away. I'm now reading that it will get worse, Sony won't help and will be too expensive to repair. I expected that a TV costing $2500 would last more than 2 years. I was wrong. No more expensive Sonys for me, Vizio here I come.

If you are thinking of a Sony XBR, don't do it!

I have owned my Sony XBR4 for almost 2 years and it has been nothing but trouble. My 18 year old 27" Sony Trinitron has a better picture. The remote on this TV has to be pointed directly at the receiver and be no further than 5 feet away. Sometimes when you turn it on you get no sound. Sometimes when you turn it on the picture is good on half of the screen, the other half is dark. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I'll update after I get it fixed again.

Less than 2 years it needs to be repaired

The TV has been good until the 20th month when the rendering began failing in a small area of the TV. The failure appears to grow by pixel row/column and I don't know if the chip is failing/failed or if the screen is failing. Either way, I would expect Sony to provide manufacturing that would allow a $3000 TV to last beyond at least 3 years.

Ultimately, not impressed with its weak showing and lack of endurance from normal use. I recommend you really look at other brands before purchasing this model.

5 years later: still going strong

I bought this TV 5 years ago when we renovated the apartment.
I bought it with my overtime money from the restaurant where I was working sacrificing my vacations.
I never looked back! We took good care of it and it still looks as good as when we bought it.
The fact that after 5 years it still costs almost $1000.00 is a tell tale of how well it was made.
It is widely aknoledged that Sony TVs are among thge verey best.

Best deal for 65" HD TV

This is a best deal I can find for Sony 65" HD TV. The picture quality is good. I like the Sony brand name despite some reviews said that Samsung has better picture quality for the HD TV. I just feel more comfortable with Sony name.

Fantastic TV

We were torn between the Samsung LN65B650 tv and the Sony KDL65W5100. We finally decided to purchase the Sony, due to the fact we have a heavily lite room. The Sony TV has a fantastic picture right out of the box, and we are totally satisfied with this purchase. There is no glare during the day light hours making it exactly what we needed. We would highly recommend this tv to anyone. You will not be disappointed in your purchase.

Great LCD TV....!!! Sony has a win...

Hello all,

I work for the Big Screen Store in Fairfax, Virginia. We just received this set. I have been in the industry for over 8 years now and have sold the best that Flat panel has to offer (Pioneer Elite, Sony XBR, etc). When I first un-boxed this set, I immediately adjusted the settings to accommodate the proper levels for our store HD feed. I was very impressed with the color, clarity, and black levels of the image. It was vivid, but still very natural, and skin tones were very good as well. As earlier posts have mentioned, YES the LCD is 64.5" Diagonal, which makes it a 65" TV. There are plenty of inputs available for all types of goodies. Setup is very easy as with all new Sony products, and with input sensing there is no need to cycle through unused inputs on the TV, thus saving time and effort when switching from CABLE/SAT to blu-ray. As with all TV's over 50 inches, DVD's look okay, and not because there is something wrong with the TV, it's just the limits of DVD video quality. You MUST HAVE a blu-ray player to fully take advantage of the set.

I must admit, I was a little concerned when I heard Sony and Samsung had inked a deal with Sharp to produce the 65" panels for them, but I am very impressed. THe Sharp model lacks a good video processor and thus cannot produce the image quality of the Sony or Samsung 65" LCD. Overall I am very impressed with the set.

As with all new Flat Panels, the sound sucks really bad on this TV. Even if you don't want/need surround sound, I strongly suggest a separate sound setup. Whether it's just stereo or surround. All TV's now have only 5-30 watt speakers, and most of them are built on the BACK SIDE of the TV set for aesthetic reasons, which is obviously not conducive to proper listening. I have sat in many training's for Sony, Samsung, etc. All the manufacturers have the same mindset, they don't care about sound, they assume everyone in today's age has at least a separate stereo system. Do you know that headphones run on 5 watts?!!! At 50% plus volume, it's like taking a nice pair of headphones off your head and listening to them at a distance. Do yourself, your ears, and the TV a system a favor and get a sound system!!!!

Thanks !!

Best BIG screen I've ever seen

I've had this 65" Sony LCD for about a month now, and it is incredible. I replaced a 63" Samsung plasma that I had just had delivered. The Samsung had a really clear picture but, despite its size, the picture just didn't have the impact you expect from a screen that large. It just wasn't bright enough. The Sony really took care of that. The colors are natural but they really "pop." The clarity and brightness tremendous. And let's face it, larger screens are a lot more fun to watch, as long as the picture quality is retained. Watching sports and movies on this set is mesmerizing. It reminds me of the first time I had an HD set and would watch anything, just because the picture was so phenomenal. Everything is a blast to watch on this TV. I can't imagine how it could be improved (although I have it hooked up to a surround system, so I can't comment on the TV speakers).

Affordable Excellence BRAVIA HDTVs represent outstanding performance from the top of the line right down to where it all starts - M-Series. M-Series HDTVs have just the right amount of features, style and performance to make them a great entry level choice. It starts with the 16:9 high definition LCD display panel including a fast panel response time and excellent 178° wide viewing angles. The 3D comb filter reduces dot crawl and color imperfections for fine picture detail, The right connections to enable connection of the latest video sources. And then there's that famous BRAVIA style. A rich-looking space saving black cabinet wraps around the bottom mounted speakers and is accented by silver trim and mounted to the included silver pedestal. Now just about anyone can afford a BRAVIA HDTV!

Great while it lasted -- but didn't last.

Great TV while it lasted -- it really was! -- but the LCD array burned out after just 14 months of only moderate use, and was a write-off. Fortunately had bought the dealer extended warranty insurance and got a new Samsung in exchange.

Great TV, beautiful picture

This is a very nice TV. The controls are easy to use and ports are easily accessed. The picture was superb right out of the box and required very little adjustment. Also, I turned it on using my cable box remote immediately, no synching required. Very happy with this purchase.
