Big TV at its best

true 1080p video with bells and whistles to make it usable. The sound is good (I never use it because it is part of the theater experience) the video and adjustment features terrific. I haven't found a problem with it yet.

Dumb company, don't buy Sony

So, I bought a Walkman a year ago, figuring that Sony would of course make accessories (clock radios, etc) for their own products. Wow! Imagine my surprise when I found out they only make iPOD accessories. Even though I love how the walkman works, WHY would you ever buy one, if you can't get accessories! What an incredibility STUPID company. I wrote an email to them an got no response. So, I will never again buy another Sony product.

Stay away from Sony products, they'll leave you in the cold!

A TV that sends a message

As Marshall McLuhan said, "the medium is the message". This is a television that says something about the owner and that message is "I can afford to spend the price of a medium sized family car on a TV set that will be obsolete within a couple of years". In this respect there can be no doubt that the 70 inch Sony XBR accomplishes its intended purpose brilliantly.

The truly discerning purchaser will use this set to watch CNBC or Fox News, or rather display the same disregarded in the corner of the room while paying attention to something else.

There are larger TV sets out there, but the 120" Philips LED display has a pathetic resolution and the 150" Panasonic weighs about as much as the Ferrari you could buy instead. Actually, the Panasonic does at least have a sensible use - as a cinema screen.

Buy with pride and think not that you could buy the 60" less than a fifth the price and use the remainder to build a health clinic or school in a deprived part of the world and put a picture of it on your wall instead. One advantage of that approach is that with no sound to turn off, its a lot easier to ignore.

FATAL DESIGN FLAW!

The Light Engine/optical block of this TV has a fatal design flaw. it is the subject of a class action lawsuit against Sony. The picture may look great at first by gradually begins to fail, producing the dreaded "green blob." I have had the light engine replace 4 times with no success. Do a google search on sxrd green blob class action. Stay away from this TV!

Rating :

Sony stands behind it

Yes, the optical block failed - which seems like a common issue with this model. If you own this TV you'll recognize the problem when everything starts to look greenish-yellow. Anyway, Sony has extended the warranty to cover this problem and sent out a repairman to replace it without any cost to me. It's a pretty significant repair, since they replace essentially the entire guts of the TV. Very good experience.

Kudos to SONY for doing the right thing for their customers, even in this economy and when so many other companies would simply walk away.

GREAT SHARP PICTURE BUT......

This is picture perfect TV, I always loves SONY TV'S and I always buy SONY brand comes to buy TV'S most my life. I bought 42" wide screen HDTV last year model,around (SEP/2005) for my bedroom. love it!..Great TV & picture ,Bought it for $1600.00 was $2300 when came out I got it real good price. I wait awhile.. Had a problems with it. SONY manufacture relies it. And fix the problem with up dating the soft wear in TV, as he trip to my house. But I want to upgrade my living TV to this new model...Picture is the greatest TV in the store. But 2 things about this TV . NO subwoofer for such as high end TV! They pull that out! So means ,U have to spend another $500 or more for surround sound system .Plus another $500 for TV stand to get some BOOM...second: damn price. $4300??????? Is to high for lame speakers & size ...I just want to wait till around fall ,price comes down around $3000 then buy it ...so I use the rest of the money i saved for surround sound and stand.... is to much money for not such as high solid unit right now..Anyway I cant wait price goes down. & U should too.. Just wait a few months.. But picture part is crystal clean & sharp 1080p. Just Imagine buy this TV buy fall in right price, & hook up surround sound system with BLU-RAY DVD player...ahhh..

1080p TV, is that right?

I purchased this TV April 2006. The TV was advertised as 1080p capable. Salesperson in a store said that it can show 1080p resolution pictures. He also said that I can watch movies in 1080p resolution where Blue-ray player is available. I have waited for the devices to be available at stores and finally bought a PlayStation 3 which has Blue-ray drive equipped. I connected the PS3 to this SONY KDS-R60XBR1 TV with Blue-Ray Movie put in the player by HDMI cable. I was frustrated by realizing this TV is not an actual 1080p TV. I called SONY. They say KDS-R60XBR1 is not a 1080p TV but 1080p display. SONY said that it just shows pictures that look like 1080p pictures. How can a TV with 1080p capability and 1080p term in the upfront not show any 1080p resolution pictures? Be careful this TV is not a 1080p TV. It's a 1080p display which the screen output may look like 1080p TV by their definitions. It sure does not make senses at all to me.

Very Disappointed again in Sony

I purchased this television 15 months ago from AFEES. Now I see I paid too much. Too bad they only back their purchases for one year. After intermitant use, mine stopped operating by displaying a flashing light indicating it may come on, but never does. For the time it did work, it seemed loud when powering up when I turned it on. I thought that was normal since it was new. Now I have a monument in my living room with a blank screen. Once again Sony has let me down. That's twice in three months. UPDATE... The technician replaced the $400 lamp and brought the TV back to life. Since then, I've waited for additional parts to correct the bright yellow appearance of my picture with large fuzzy rings and a lack of all reds and blues. The hits just keep on coming.

THIS TV DOES NOT WORK IN ANY SYSTEM!!!

I both this tv last year and have just installed at home, in Brazil.
For my surprise, I got only black and white colors.
I found out that the propaganda does not consider the Brazilian system PAL - M when it says that it would work in any system.
Now, I hope I will get support from the store or Sony on finding a solution to my problem.
