The XBR series is Sony's top of the line series and I believe they are manufactured in Japan. The lower level sets are made in Mexico.

From what I've read over on AVS Forum, the 34" XBR960 and XS955 CRT tubes are the same and are made in Japan. Final assembly of these TV sets is done in Mexico. Quality control on the XBR960 appears to be subpar based on numerous reviews (bad tuners, bad power supplys, sometimes severe geometry and color spotting problems). I don't know if the 34" XS955 has been nearly as problematic.
