Which one of these models is the better TV? Circuit City (FWIW) says the XBR is better, but Sony's website says the HS receives HDTV broadcasts, and also has High-voltage Regulator, Dynamic Picture Processor, and Matrix Surround Sound. The HS is also a bit less $$$.Thanks for your help.
Follow Ups:
It's in neither my 32XBR100 owner's or service manual --777 enter
Warning!!
The CRT industry is about to cease existance. Will go the same way the sliderule and
keypunch adding machines went -- kaput!
Hatchi has announced last week they will cease production of tube monitors.
Flat panels will become the new standard for both computer and Video. (No surprise!)
I just wonder what SONY has up the corporate sleeve???Photos below show BOBWIRE's Maggies. Hybrid Tympani 3 joined to 3.3's!
Due to space limitations (a 36" TV would literally tip forward and roll off the 21" deep brick fireplace where the set goes), I bought a 32XBR450. Awesome! Even my wife is impressed, and my daughter loves the "razzle-dazzle" PIP.I searched but didn't find a source for the Video Essentials. Where can I get one?
Thanks again,
JerryS
Picture, picture, picture. The 450 by a mile. Artifacts are much better controlled. I have the 450 for about a month. No problems. Did the Video essentials thing, learned a few tricks. Believe me, when you get the 450, you will become a critic of everything else you see. For a VERY EXPENSIVE tv, the speaker system is average at best. Expect to pay another $1000 for a small receiver and surround system. I am in the process of either building speakers or buying a surround sound system. I will probably enlist the help of this forum for a surround sound system recommendation.
I am a nasty critic of very expensive bull***t products that are sold as the best. If you pay this kind of hard earned money, expect the best. Beyond this, you are paying huge dollars for "lifestyle" products. Including plasma, projection, etc. Do not buy any leftover 400's. Buy the extended warrenty. These can be expensive to service.(This is a paid announcement by Son......)
Just kidding.
Thanks for the tip. Sony/GE has a very attractive financing offer now - 15 months same-as-cash.RE surround sound, I'm in good shape there with a Pioneer Elite VSX36THX receiver, Dynaudio Audience 62 L/R, 122C center, and 42 rears, and a REL Strata 3 sub. You can spend more, you can spend less, but this system gives great preformance for movies and for music. Highly recommended! See www.dynaudiona.com.
Gotta go now and buy a TV.
As soon as I get my royalties from Sony, I will be able to answer the young lady's question, "Will that be small fries with your water, sir". Watch for color purity on the video essentials. I need to adjust screen 1/8" to the right, but not imoprtant enough to fool around with the service settings. One sneeze and the Shopping Channel is in black and white (hey, wait a minute, that is a good thing). Adjust all the terrible pre-sets. Way to radical. Should run $2000. Enjoy.
The XBR450 has 2:3 pulldown which the XBR400 and HS20 do not have. This is suppose to provide fewer artifacts and cleaner pictures with NTSC sources (The Perfect Vision July/August).
