"Got It! IT ROCKS!!!"
Pros: Quite acceptable picture at 4:3 signal, AWESOME at HD
Cons: slow menu response (but nobody is in that much of a hurry in front of THIS TV)
Summary: I was waiting for this TV for a month and I went to see it at ABT-Electronics the week it was out on the market (the very end of September). I was blown away!...
I've been looking (and waiting) for the right HD TV for years. My first choice was the 56" pedestal Samsung DLP TV (they didn't have bigger, and it had the clearest picture of all Samsung TVs). Then, when I saw it at the Tweeter store, next to the Sony, I was really disappointed! All Samsung DLP TVs have this slight blur of the picture! I don't think it's the rainbow effect I was seeing, because it was there all the time. And I compared the picture in other stores too. So it was not the store connection either.
Last week, at ABT I had the chance to see many TVs, and the new 72" DLP Samsung too. Blurry, again! The 73" Mitsubishi wasn't that bad, but it didn't have the outrageous clear sharp picture of the Sony.
I wanted to see the quality of the picture with the normal 4:3 signal, or with a DVD. They had only the BlueRay connected, so I decided to come back next week (they didn?t have the Sony stand also). In a week I went there again, and the store had all the necessary connections (cable, DVD, antenna) and I was really happy with the display of the low-res air channels. This is really important right now, because there are not that many HD and digital channels out there. And I wanted to be able to see the face of ?my man? ? Al Bundy without all that blurriness?
I might say that this Sony TV is even better than my first love - the 70" big Qualia (it was the price that stopped us from buying it). I think that at $6000 this TV is way great of a deal to be missed!!! I know that it's listed at $7000, but a little bit of a bargaining, and you'll get it for 6K. Still, with the table and the taxes, the price will still be 7K. But ? oh, well! You?ll be able to enjoy THE greatest picture at the market today, and I think for some years to come.
Go get it! And ? enjoy!
