I went back to Sears to further investigate why the Sony SXRD looked so bad. The salesman told me it was the only TV on the floor that could not display an HD picture because its location in the store - no hookup available.Afterwards, I drove to Circuit City which is another retailer in the area. They had both Sony SXRD televisions - 50 and 60 inch - on the floor displayed with DirecTV High Definition. It was the best picture in the store especially on the 60 inch model.
My only concern were the yellows might have been exaggerated. They were showing the NFL channel and the re-broadcast of last weekend's Bucs-Bears game. The grass field at times seemed too yellowish compared with the Samsung DLP which was displayed right next to it.
Needless to say, in the showroom displays, everything is CRANKED up. Colors may be a bit saturated, but I don't have a problem with too much yellow. The next time you go, play with the settings a bit-if they won't give you the remote, there are some controls on the side of the set. The damn set has something like 22 different controls for adjusting the picture-some dramatic, some subtle. Callibrating takes patience.

I went to Tweeter and was looking at the new sony SXRD,Samsung,Toshiba and LG. Iwas about to use the remote to look at the settings when the sales rep ask if I needed any help.I said no that I wanted to clear the store settings and adjust the set myself, when he said we don't change the factory settings,right I said to myself but he was right.It was the first time I ever had that happen.The samsung HLR5678W 1080p was by far the sharpest,cleanest set of all.
I was in my local Sears and saw the 50 inch version of this Sony. The picture was far from impressive. The Sony LCD's looked much better. All the TVs in the store were playing the same source material (maybe a DVD?). Why did this TV not look great? Do you think it might have been not properly setup?I am shopping for a 60-70" television now. I almost never watch DVD's. I mostly watch sports. I do not need a flat screen. What TV is recommended? I want something will take advantage of 1080p when and if it ever happens. I am told the new Sonys will not accept a 1080p signal. Is this true?
Was it the LCOS? Odds are, the sets aren't set up well-no surprise there. If you are looking for a large TV, you may wish to consider some of the large DLPs. They don't do much for me, but you may like them. No, the Sony doesn't accept 1080p, even though that is its native resolution. Then again, neither do the Samsungs, Mits., or JVCs. As far as I know, only the HPs accept full 1080p signals, but all accept 1080i. That being said, I don't know of any 1080p sources-HD TV doesn't have it, and supposedly Blu-ray may not either. I'm not too worried about that, since I mostly watch DVDs. The down side, is that SD TV can really look like crap.

Blu-ray will probably have 1080p output. Not that it matters that much.

They sure are.......absolutely smoke DLP and LCD in the largest formats (60-70"). I am waiting for the LGs to arrive as they should cost much less. They have the same 3-chip technology and a brighter picture. My only small gripe with the Sony was the picture was a bit dim for daylight viewing in my opinion.
I picked up the 60" last week. Outside of some mild reflections (an issue with all TVs in my house) there isn't any real problem with daytime watching, though I admit I do most of my viewing at night. I'm mildly curious about the LGs, to see how they stack up to the Sonys.
Jack
Very nice......you have the best large format TV on the market right now IMO. I will be interested to see the LG to compare.
