4 out of 5 stars We are pleased with the 60" Sony Grand Wega/ LCD HDTV   August 19, 2005
I ordered our set brand new on-line with ElectronicsExpo in NJ on July 6th, 2005 for $2327.77. Delivery was $150 to my door. CC, Sears, and BB all were selling the same set for between $3,599 and $3,699. The Sony was delivered and carried in on on 7/14/05. We could have had it a few days earlier but this was the only day that worked for me. The set arrived in perfect shape. We are very pleased with the image. Keep in mind these sets come preset with a way too bright display. These are deliberately set too bright so people go oooooh and ahhhh in the show rooms looking at the images. The image quality on HD feeds is stunning. The image on digital cable is OK. My set has a assembly built date sticker from 4/05. A full ISF calibration will be done in a few months to this set so we get the most out of the display. We all have to keep in mind that like computers what we buy today is already obsolete with new models coming out all the time. If you buy your TV with American Express they will double the 1 year warranty to two years at no charge. We went for a five year plan that does not start until the 2 years are up. The sound is OK. We have a pair of 6' JBL 2-way theater speakers next to the set. The sound fom that is great through my tube stereo. So far we are very pleased with the Sony. Our first few football games were amazing to watch.


1 out of 5 stars Still waiting after more than a month   May 25, 2005
  11 out of 20 found this review helpful

I ordered this T.V. over a month ago and still have not received it. Each week I receive an e-mail saying the shipment is delayed yet the order status says it is being prepared for shipment (it has said this for the past 2 1/2 weeks) and therefore I cannot cancel the order. Of course no one responds to the e-mails I send regarding the order status. I am very disappointed with Amazon and would not purchase large items from this site again.


1 out of 5 stars Do not buy from Amazon   April 11, 2005
  39 out of 46 found this review helpful

The TV looked ok when it was delivered. Unfortunately the delivery guy did not plug it in and check to see if it would start before he left. It didn't! Sony support said there was definitely something wrong with it. What kind of customer service should you expect from Amazon.com.
Well first off all you can't talk to them on the phone. Second you are left with a brand new damaged TV and this is there wonderful response email.

"Thank you for contacting us at Amazon.com.

I apologize that we are unable to contact you directly by phone as
you requested.

Unfortunately, we do not make outgoing phone calls. Rest assured, however, that we are committed to helping resolve this matter.

I am sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with your television.

Unfortunately, as noted in our returns policy posted on our web site (http://www.amazon.com/help/returns), we cannot accept the return of televisions 27 inches and larger after delivery.
"
How do they quote "we are committed to helping resolve this matter"?
I thought I could trust Amazon.com. I'm left with a broken expensive TV. I am truly disappointed to say the least.



4 out of 5 stars Great HD TV for the price   February 9, 2005
  14 out of 15 found this review helpful

The previous review is accurate but a bit unfair. You cannot expect a High Definition TV to deliver high definition quality picture to television broadcasts or other input sources like DVD when those sources do not offer high definition resolution.

For broadcasts which are offered in high definition, the color and clarity of image produced is spectacular. Some people who have seen programs on this set assume it's a plasma and are surprised to hear that it's not. Some have even said certain programs appear to have a 3-d quality. The quality of the HD is that good.

Of course, the exterior is not as thin as a plasma set however for the size of the television, it's still thinner than most units.

Overall, this is a great HD unit for the price. If you are not willing to spend the extra cash on a plasma set but want a great HD picture, this unit will meet your needs.



3 out of 5 stars GREAT HD PICTURE POOR ANALOG AND DVD   January 21, 2005
  24 out of 26 found this review helpful

I bought this TV with great expectations. The HD channels are just plain spectacular. Especially live sports.

The lower channels have a poor picture. It was far better on my old 4:3 HD CRT set.

DVD is also noticeably worse. I use quality cables, and a Denon upconverting player, with a HDMI connection.

This is not what I expected. The place where I bought said that this is generally true. That's why when you go into a store, they are connected to a preprogrammed HD connections, so you see it at it's best.

To Darren...It's not at all unfair..I didn't expect the analog and DVD's to be as good as high definition, but I did expect the picture to be at least as good as on my old conventional set.

Lastly, be aware, even the high definition channels don't always broadcast in hi def, in fact most broadcast less than 50%, leaving you with a fair picture. Again, the hi definition when broadcast is exactly what Darren says, spectacular.

UPDATE....I'm having problems with the TV. I have the TV 6 months now. After being on awhile, the screen goes totally black, but the power light blinks like it's just been turned on. Sometimes the picture comes back on in a few seconds, other times, several minutes. Sony is coming to check it out, but they are unfamiliar with the problem.

2nd update...Still having the same problem..The Technician says it check out fine..So why do I lose picture and sound 1-2 times a day while watching? They don't know and are reluctant to do anything about it.
