Customer Rating: Summary: Problem with light block engine Comment: Light block goes bad after 2 to 3 years, Sony does nothing to help. Sony settled a class action suit on this tv but did not contact other existing customers of the problem and when the set goes bad Sony will not help. Customer Rating: Summary: 3 years and still going! Comment: I started looking for a big screen TV in 2004, but they were so expensive. In 2005 while buying DVD's I wanted to stroll thru the TV's and see the new technology. That's when I came across Sony's art work. Stylish frame with the side speakers was impressive. A matte front panel to protect the screen and reduce glare (not many with this feature), good for little kids that have to touch everything! It's more affordable with the combination of projection with the sharp picture of an HD LCD. If your kids play a lot of video games (me sometimes) you don't have to worry about screen burn. HDMI connections with more than enough video ports to hook up everything - HD satellite box, receiver/amplifier, DVD, VCR, Xbox, Wii, Play Station 3. Plus Memory stick compatible to really show off the family pictures (so your old parents can see them)! ;^) As far as HD action goes - I watch Discovery HD, HD sports, HD movies action and Sci Fi with no problems. Once you go HD it's difficult to watch standard definition. Put it this way, after looking at it on the sales room floor and finding out about it's features I looked at my wife to discuss finances when she said "Go ahead and get it, I love it.". Sold!
Writing this in June 2008 with over 8300+ hrs on the lamp timer and just replaced the lamp. I found one online for $130 and how to reset the timer myself. It's an easy change out. I'm as happy with this, correction, Sony's KDF-60XS955 60 inch HD LCD Projection TV now as when I first bought it. I would rather spend a little more for a quality product and be happy than go cheap and end up cussing every time something went wrong. Customer Rating: Summary: Great TV Comment: it is a great TV for its time!!
I was very glad when I got it!! stil today watching HD is superb!
Customer Rating: Summary: Great TV Comment: The TV had a great picture, but what really surprised me was the quality of sound it produces. I have a big surround sound, but even without it, the tv sounds great. It was definately worth the money at the time (Jan 05), but by now there may be better deals. Customer Rating: Summary: Truly Amazing Comment: This is truly an amazing television. The below reviews sum it up nicely, but I'll take this opportunity to reinforce the positive feedback. I've had a few widescreen HDTV sets, and this is clearly the best. Sony did this one very, very right.
