In Reply to: Looking for 1st HD set...Sony XBR2 vs. SXRD models posted by dingo dave on February 6, 2007 at 12:57:45:
last year after looking for a long time. I thought the SXRD looked better, especially on fast action scenes like sports. The XBR was blurry and appeared to suffer from a lag-time type of effect. I noticed it quickly and couldn't get past it. The 50" SXRD was just under your price point. My version is the one with the speakers on the side and it does NOT accept a 1080p INPUT, but it will display 1080p. This seems to be a non-issue and I'm not concerned about it. DVDs and HD broadcasts look spectacular. Good luck and don't rush into a purchase.
