Still a great buy after 2 Years!!

 

Bought in summer of '05. Have not had to replace the bulb yet. Both wife and I work, so it gets used for evenings mostly and weekends. Excellent picture still. Figured out it is in between 720P and 1080i. I was discouraged to find out later it was ...

Great picture and sound!Takes 1080i signals to perfection!

3600 when they first came out. Get a 1080p set for about half now.

Smoking

 

If you are considering buying this or any type of projection TV be aware that if you or anyone in your home smokes it's very likely to affect the performance of your TV. Your salesman may not tell you this as "they don't feel the need to disclose this,...

Good picture when brand new

If you have smokers, be careful about buying Sony, or any projection set.

Not impressed

 

So I bought this thing thinking I was going to get not only a TV but something of a stereo receiver as well. I was very wrong. I have to say that for a Sony this TV is a loser especially with the $4K price tag. In all fairness the picture is ...

Good Picture for a projection

Horrible connection options, expensive for what you get.

WHAT A BEAUTY!

 

My husband and I finally broke down and purchased our first HDTV Sony Flatscreen. And let me say, it was well worth the wait! We had been holding out for quite some time now, but we have finally moved into the digital age... We have always trusted the ...

Awesome size for the price -Fantastic sound & picture-Great viewing from any angle

Commonly used remote features located at the bottom-Takes time to warm up

Great Picture! Easy to set up!

 

Very nice picture and sound! The video and sound system are very good, I sold my home theater sound system. With my Directv Tivo Satellite and DVD connected via component cables I get a picture virtually as good as HD. I choose this model over the XBR ...

Great Picture and sound!

Short life on projection lamp. Save ALL paperwork, Sony's warranty Dept will require

Great large picture at a great price - Read this review!

 

When it comes to TV's, Sony is the name that stands out above the rest. So when deciding to pay over $2000 for a TV my heart was set to buy a Sony but I still needed a little more convincing. The KDF-55XS955, Sony's Grand Wega 55" rear projection LCD ...

Clean, bright, accurate picture. Good price tag. Lots of great features.

Remote could use some improvements. Large footprint. Takes a while for picture to come up.

Good value for the price

 

Excuse my style of writing, native lang. isnt English. We recently moved(Mar'05), had a Sharp 32" CRT. KDF-55XS955 was the right size for our new family room. Standard broadcast on 40" wide screen feels pretty much the same size as 32" CRT. 60" was ...

Great picture & sound. Cant beat Sony's reputation.

Sony fix your next design, first 2 need only a firmware update.

Disappointed

 

I had previously purchased the KDF-55WF655, and decided to upgrade to this 60" XS model, mostly because of the extra HDMI input and the better speaker system. The first thing I noticed was with fast moving scenes, the picture would pixelate very bad ...

Good color, sound quality, built-in HD tuner, number of inputs, elegant styling.

Bad pixelation (screen-door-effect), bulb needs replaced periodically, expensive.

THE best BIG picture for the price

 

I have been looking for over a year for a wide-screen TV. I wanted at least a 56", and didn't care what the technology was, as long as the picture was crisp, bright, and could be seen from just about any angle. The Sony Grand Wega 60XS955 meet all ...

Clarity, sharpness, good viewing angle.

would like speakers to be detachable.

STILL Worth the investment in HDTV!

 

My KDF-60XS955 was manufactured (in the USA!) in November, 2004 for use at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January, 2005. Subsequently it was sent to (a local Las Vegas) Worst Buy as a "floor model" (open-box). I purchased it 16 Jan...

Unbelievable picture. The preponderance of connections on the rear panel. The built-in ATSC/NTSC tuner.

The 132W bulb for illumination is a concern so I added the 4-year protection plan.
