An awesome HD TV that will not dissapoint!
Pros: True 1080p capable, LCOS technology, 2 HDMI inputs, numerous other inputs, easy to use/understand onscreen menu, picture quaulity is superb.
Standard Def is nice and easy to watch.
Cons: It will cost you, no cable card slot, no picture in picture, will have to replace the bulb (aprox. every 8,000hrs).
The picture you get from this HD TV will not dissapoint! The system was incredibly easy to set up and connect. This thing is lighter than my 27" philps magnavo...

Sony SXRD Technology raises the bar !!!
I have been shopping for a new HDTV set for a long long time. I have compared features and specifications on so many models I was getting Dizzy! I finally decided to go down to a local store to do some side by side viewing comparisons. After about 5 or 10 minutes it became very obvious that the Sony SXRD technology was head and shoulders above the rest! The detail and clarity was outstanding. There is no bad viewing angle for this set. Also having the ability to input 1080p was an added bonus. H...

Excellent Picture Quality
This is one impressive HD large screen TV. I have had it for two weeks now, and it works perfectly and flawlessly. After tweaking the factory default settings, it is easy to get the picture quality you desire. I am getting HD signals through an over the air antenna (Terk) and also through dish network HD package. HDMI hookups make connections much easier. It does take about 30 seconds after turning on for the lamp to get fully going, but that is not a big deal for me. The picture is very b...

Great TV!
I just got this from Amazon, and this TV is great. I was worried it would be too big but the size is just right for 7-12 ft viewing distance. The shipping went smoothly. I received the TV in about a week, and they brought it up to my 3rd floor apartment. I would definitely recommend Amazon and their shipping company for such a purchase. Also, check with your credit card company because many automatically double the warranty for you and offer their own extended warranties.

Beautiful picture
I have had this TV for a little over a week now. The picture is absolutely stunning. In my opinion, SXRD is superior to DLP in every way. As long as you have room for it and don't need a flat panel, this is the way to go. This TV has no rainbows, no screen doors, perfect blacks and plenty of inputs. Incredible value. Notice I am reviewing the television and NOT the freight carrier.

I love this set!
A friend of mine has the highest rated 42" Panasonic plasma and watching sports broadcast in Standard Definition (SD) looks horrible. It was hard on his eyes and so he had to purchase the HD package (13 channels of HD) from his cable provider. Even though I have direct TV, which has the most HD channels of any provider, the vast majority of what I want to watch is not part of the channels they broadcast in HD. Because of this, my biggest requirement was for an HDTV that could reproduce SD sou...

Pretty awesome but can be better
I purchased this through Amazon about a week ago. Eagle Global Logistics lost it and couldn't deliver on our scheduled delivery date, however they made it up by getting it to us the following day at a flexible time. Overall, I'm pleased shipping wise and I think it was just an honest mistake. I was somewhat nervous about making such a large purchase online, however everything has worked out well and I highly recommend to anyone to save the hundres of dollars and buy it online.

HD TV
I got this TV primarialy to watch movies on DVD. What I found out was that it produces an inferior picture when fed a signal from a standard DVD at 480p or from a cable signal that is not in High Def. I don't believe that this is the fault of the TV. It is just a warning that when you go High Def, it becomes a bit of a money pit because you have to go digital upgrade (more money), High Def (more money) or you end up with a picture that is way inferior to a CRT. The route of Blue Ray or HD DV...

Inaccurate color, very disappointed
I've had this TV for almost 3 months. I had decided I wanted the Sony SXRD as a result of all the rave reviews of last years XBR1. I wanted the latest so I waited patiently for the 2006 models. I had no use for cable card or PIP so I opted for the A2000. What a disappointment. Flesh tones are way to green/yellow in a lot of programming that I watch. Sometimes flesh tones look fine but to many times they are inaccurate. I have calibrated this TV using a couple different setup DVDs. I had ...
