Date: 2003-11-07 Sony doesn't stand behind product. Enjoyed my new tv for 17 months, give it the highest ratings. Then the picture went black. Sony said you should of brought the extended warranty. After paying $2400.00 for a sony tv (the best brand on the market or so I thought) why should I need a warranty. The dealer has had the tv for 3 weeks. They want $248.00 for trouble shooting and now they say they still can't fix it, need a new board for $300.00 Total of $548.00, plus the $50.00 we already gave them. Was ready to buy one like it for the bedroom, not anymore. Date: 2002-04-01 Wega XBR I have had this television for over a year and it serves me very well. From DVD, VHS, Digital Cable, Playstation 2 and most recently HDTV, I have put the Wega XBR through its paces and have had nothing to complain about. The picture is perfect in all formats and HDTV is very impressive. I highly recommend it for those who prefer a direct view television. Remember that quality cabling makes a huge difference. Date: 2002-03-26 Superlative 3D Window !!! I have always had Sony XBR2 products in the past. I recently broke away and purchased a Toshiba 34" HDTV followed by a Toshiba Theater Wide 56" projection. Making a long story short I have finally gotten rid of Toshiba completely and returned to this Sony set. It is undoubtably the finest picture I have ever had in my home. I have had the best of Toshiba, Pioneer rear projection and Mitsubishi. This Sony set beats all of them. The geometry was perfect out of the box and the clarity and detail of the images even from my regular [bad] cable signal is astounding! Anamorphic DVD's are beyond words so I won't even try. The most astounding thing about this set is its unique ability to display so many subtle hues of color! Most sets simply render variations of red, blue and green. However, this set renders luscious tones of brown, gold, lavender, pink, maroon, cobalt blue, lime, etc. etc. I have never seen a set with the ability to do what this set does to color. There was also no hint of digital artifacts or digital gremlins of any kind. To sum it up I don't miss my larger rear projection one bit! I would much rather have a bright crystal clear gorgeous set of smaller dimensions than an obviously bloated oddly stretched dim so-so picture of a rear projection. My friend is an ISF tech and after seeing this set he said this set was the finest out of the box set he had ever seen. I'm seriously thinking of simply leaving it alone without ISF tweaking! This is the one folks . . . Date: 2002-01-19 PICTURE It doesn't get better than this. This T.V. uses over 2 million pixels to display a crystal clear image. This is one of the worlds best without a doubt. Date: 2001-11-23 Best for Certain Objectives Not a full review, but some key points: This is a terrific TV. (I own it.) Many consider it to be the best tube TV on the market. There is a new 40" version that is out so consider the 40" prior to buying the 36". Each weigh over 225 lbs. If you can spend more money, want a smaller footprint and can stomach some of the other deficiencies, move up to plasma screen tvs. The 36" wega xbr450 is regularly sold for 20% below list, so look around and bargain. * Price is subject to change. |
