"Had to buy it.... a 9.5 rating"
Pros: Outstanding picture that convinced me to buy
Cons: Few....very few
Summary: I finally had my opportunity to take a look at the Sony KDS-R60XBR1 television...and I was VERY impressed. I was so impressed...I went for the buy. The picture is very good! I did not get a chance to compare against 1080p sets...but this one definitely was worth the purchase. This Sony has a very crisp, clean and very colorful picture. The blacks are as described and the performance is just great.
There was one obstacle that I discovered after the purchase...I was used to having the speakers of my TV act as a center channel and I haven't found a way to do that with this set...(but..I have only had the set for one day). All in all...I am VERY glad that I bought this television and believe the hype that this is the best set on the market today.Updated
Well...I wrote the second opinion on Sony's KDS-R60XBR1 without an HDTV signal. WOW...the clarity and color saturation with this TV hooked up with a HDTV signal is UNBELIEVABLE! I have to agree that this may bump my previous rating of 9.5 to a 10. I strongly recommend this set to all that are bouncing back and forth between this set and 1080p sets out there. I tip my hat to Sony....I am VERY pleased...and feel that I should not have rated this set until I had the HD signal in place to truly see the capabilities of this great television. Thanks Sony!
