      Comments about Sony KDL-52XBR6 52" 1080p BRAVIA LCD TV:

      When the cable guy hooked up this tv, he couldn't get over how great the picture is. I had to have another cable guy come when I had internet connectivity issues, and he commented on the picture as well. These guys see a lot of TVs and both said they thought this picture was exceptional. My brother bought a 52" Panasonic and I don't think the picture quality is close to the Sony XBR.

            Have had this TV for two weeks now, satisfied in every way. Very simple to unpack, set-up was a breeze. Menu use is simple and straight forward, adjusting settings to personal taste was easy. My technology impaired wife loves it because of it's ease of use. Very happy I spent the extra $$ to buy this over the Samsung, worth every penny, don't care what the "experts" say.[...]

              Comments about Sony KDL-52XBR6 52" 1080p BRAVIA LCD TV:

              After extensive research and visits to various high-def TV shops, we found the Sony XBR6 to be everything promised and more... The 50,000 to 1 contrast ratio, the "vivid" (yes, it has a vivid setting) makes the colors jump out at you and this unit even adjusts for the light levels in the room. High-def is great, but it is FANTASTIC with the Sony XBR6 model. The front firing surround speakers are a good start, but now we're planning on adding a great Sony Blu-Ray home-theater-in-a-box to go with it. Everybody who sees it is drawn in and parks in front of the screen, making comments like; "Wow! This is cool!"

                The picture is suberb - the connections are easy to get at. The 120hz refresh rate makes a noticable difference.

                    I use a cable connection w/o HD. Picture is very sharp on all but a few channels, even they are good.
                    Took it out of box, plugged in and got a great picture.

                          Many others have already reviewed this TV enough. If you can afford a few extra bucks, buy the XBR instead of V or W series.Buy the 5 year warranty from Sony [@]. Its [$] in Sony and its much better than others I came across.

                            This tv is definitely as good as the reivews I read in my research. Good as Samsung without the ambient lighting issues. Colors are equivalent to plasmas, on-screen menus ar easy to follow and connections to the home theater system were simple with the enclosed diagrams. [...]

                              The set was shipped from NY and arrived with a slightly damaged box and the stand was bent forward. Because I intended to hang it on the wall it was inconsequential to me. Otherwise the set was in perfect condition and it operated perfectly from the get go. The picture is amazingly clear and exceptional on HD. This is my first LCD and I would recommend it to anyone.
