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.
enjoy,

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.
