(More customer reviews)Hello all,
I work for the Big Screen Store in Fairfax, Virginia. We just received this set. I have been in the industry for over 8 years now and have sold the best that Flat panel has to offer (Pioneer Elite, Sony XBR, etc). When I first un-boxed this set, I immediately adjusted the settings to accommodate the proper levels for our store HD feed. I was very impressed with the color, clarity, and black levels of the image. It was vivid, but still very natural, and skin tones were very good as well. As earlier posts have mentioned, YES the LCD is 64.5" Diagonal, which makes it a 65" TV. There are plenty of inputs available for all types of goodies. Setup is very easy as with all new Sony products, and with input sensing there is no need to cycle through unused inputs on the TV, thus saving time and effort when switching from CABLE/SAT to blu-ray. As with all TV's over 50 inches, DVD's look okay, and not because there is something wrong with the TV, it's just the limits of DVD video quality. You MUST HAVE a blu-ray player to fully take advantage of the set.
I must admit, I was a little concerned when I heard Sony and Samsung had inked a deal with Sharp to produce the 65" panels for them, but I am very impressed. THe Sharp model lacks a good video processor and thus cannot produce the image quality of the Sony or Samsung 65" LCD. Overall I am very impressed with the set.
As with all new Flat Panels, the sound sucks really bad on this TV. Even if you don't want/need surround sound, I strongly suggest a separate sound setup. Whether it's just stereo or surround. All TV's now have only 5-30 watt speakers, and most of them are built on the BACK SIDE of the TV set for aesthetic reasons, which is obviously not conducive to proper listening. I have sat in many training's for Sony, Samsung, etc. All the manufacturers have the same mindset, they don't care about sound, they assume everyone in today's age has at least a separate stereo system. Do you know that headphones run on 5 watts?!!! At 50% plus volume, it's like taking a nice pair of headphones off your head and listening to them at a distance. Do yourself, your ears, and the TV a system a favor and get a sound system!!!!
Thanks !!
