 FATAL DESIGN FLAW! April 4, 2008
Charles Lynch (Louisville, Kentucky)
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!
 Very Disappointed again in Sony October 22, 2007
Paul Lampley (Misawa, Japan)
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.
 1080p TV, is that right? January 15, 2007

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.

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.. I would quit my job for a month and sit in front this TV 24 hours. :)

We've had our Grand Wega for over a year now and it is the most amazing tv out there. Nothing compares to it. People will be visiting and if the tv is on they are just stop and stare in awe of the quality picture. We had considered the plasma screens and projection screens for our little theatre room but upon seeing the Grand Wega's rear projection we just knew it was the one. Plasma can not really be viewed well from an angle and front projection screens really lack clarity and pureness in the image. A football game on this thing is better than being there.
