Installed the Verizon HD set top box, connected the HDMI cable, my audio out cable and bingo, I was watching high definition. The price came down some as Christmas got closer, but still more than I was willing to spend.Then, in Mar 2009, I noticed from Sony's website that this particular model was no longer available - being phased out. My HD source is Verizon FiOS and the highest quality output they have is 1080i.Setup was a snap. Boy, am I glad I did.This was our first HDTV and thanks to the reviewers here, they led me to the right choice.
After reading the reviews here on Amazon, I knew this was the HDTV I wanted. There were only a few of the default settings that I had to change.The Sony may have been a little more expensive, but the results were well worth it. Three screws and the base was attached. A 37" set was all I had room for in my limited space.
Granted, I don't have another set to easily compare this to, but in my opinion, the picture quality is fantastic. Next will be a Sony Blu-ray player. So I started watching the prices afer Black Friday last year. I knew I had to act fast, so I grabbed one of the last ones I could find.
I previously didn't watch too much TV, but since I received my new set I have increased my TV viewing.
For the other Tv's I've had Westinghouse(2nd in quality, smooth pictures and nice color, perfect PC input and 1080p), LG( Very jagged and grainy, horrible banding, and PC input was terrible), and Samsung(Same as LG, very jagged and grainy, horrible banding, and PC input was terrible, also played sounds when powered on/off and had annoying white LED light at the bottom of the screen). All in all im am very happy with this TV and I dont think anyone would regret this purchase, but as I write this I wonder how long this model will even be availible because these Tvs are dropping in price and 37"ers are getting rare. I used to think Sony was just over-priced and hyped, but now owning I am an absolute fan of the brand and willing to pay a little of a premium for thier products.
The features, design, and over-all quality is IMO the best. The menus are grahically pleasing and easy to learn with enuff options to please anyone. Fisrt I'de like to say that I have and many different 37" lcd's in my home and this is by far the best.
And the sound from the speakers is very good if you dont have sepperate audio equipment. Out of those the Westinghouse performed the best, I know its a cheaper brand but it was nicer than the others while it lasted(3 yrs) eventually had bleeding problem(white light comming through black sceens) This Sony has great color and very smooth picture, with a very small hint of banding(faint lines on screen) like other reviewers have mentioned(This is not a problem when viewing high--def signals or PC).
I use this 50/50 for TV and PC and I love it.
The picture quality is great and I am very happy with my purchase I was very pleased with the lcd tv that I purchased from amazon. I had the tv within 4 days of ordering.
Very easy with clear directions. Sony Bravia XBR-Series KDL-37XBR6 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTVI was skeptical about ordering a tv online. This tv is not too small nor too big. Love the quality of the picture and I am very happy with this purchase. Local stores did not have this exact tv in stock or could order it for me. I am very happy with the ordering, delivery and I set it up by myself.
