Really as good as people say. Completely happy with this amazing set.......2007-12-21
Wow - after months of research, reading reviews, and viewing lots of sets, I finally settled on this Sony. When it came, I wasn't sure it was going to meet my expections... but I have not been disapointed. The picture quality is SUPER CLEAR with realistic color and good blacks. It looks amazing in HD, and isn't bad with SD. I have to say, I really love watching this TV.
Order this set today - they really don't make a better one.
Bravia SXRD KDS 60A3000.......2007-12-21
Great picture. You need to be 7 feet away to see it. If you have the room it is a great TV
Best HD LCD Rear Projection TV out there..........2007-12-20
I`ve had this Tv for about 3 weeks and the longer I keep it the more I LOVE IT! One thing that is a must when you buy it, take the time to calibrate it carefully you will appreciate it even more.
I was looking at the Samsung and Mitsu all 3 looked great at BB but reading reviews swayed me to the Sony. I almost went with the Samsung or Mitsu DLP`s but after reading about rainbows and problems with noisy color wheels or noisy fans I got scared. At first I almost switched it with the Samsung but again if it`s not broken why bother with it. Even the Sony is not perfect but after comparing to the other TV`s I figure this was a safer bet. Watching standard broadcasts on this set is not to good but other HD sets have similar results however Playing HD programming or HD DVD`s on this set look stunning can`t be happier.
Motion enhancement overated .......2007-12-19
I've had this TV for close to a month and am very pleased. Bought it through Amazon who delivered it promptly and in good order. Debated between this and a few 61" Samsungs. This TV got a higher CNET review and was cheaper.
PROS: great picture, 3 HDMI, great color reproduction, very versatile options
CONS: no picture in picture, "long" start-up time/time between channels (perhaps with all tvs of its ilk)
Motion Enhancement: this feature to my eye makes the picture look fake. While it might make some very CGI heavy movies look "3D" (as was suggested in the most popular review on this site), I do not employ this feature routinely. CNET likened it to making everything look like video (opposed to film) and I think that is accurate - it makes everything look like it has cheap production value. The exception being animated feature which probably benefit. In the end, realize this feature is not the "cats meow" as previously suggested.
Why pay more for a true HD experience?.......2007-12-19
Over the past five years or so, I've bought many quality items from Amazon, but have never before felt compelled to write a product review.
This TV just received a glowing review in the January 2008 issue of 'The Perfect Vision' (an online AV enthusiasts magazine) with a title that says it all; "The Best Gets Better".
Mine arrived three weeks ago and just four days after placing my order - great delivery service via Eagle.
Set-up was a cinch. Powered it up, slipped a Blu-Ray disc (Planet Earth) in my PlayStation 3 hooked to the TV through an HDMI cable and WOW - my jaw hit the floor. Crystal clear, stunning reproduction. Vivid and accurate colors on factory settings. No motion blurring. Deep, rich blacks. Even regular definition DVDs look stunning on this set.
I've looked at plasma and LCD TVs at 2-3 times this price that don't come close to the quality or performance of this unit. Look at all of these five star ratings. There's a very good reason for this!
If you're sitting on the fence waiting to decide on your entry point to big-screen HD then look no further - you'll have no regrets.

Sturdy but you may need special screws for your TV.......2007-12-20
The stand is sturdy and comes with quite an assormant of screws for mounting different televisions. I was using it for a Sony W3000 52" TV. It had my TV listed in a book that said which of the sets of screws to use. I tried these and they were too long. It had another set that was the same diameter but they were too short. After reading the manual that came with my telelvision I found out that I needed an inbetween size that did not come with the mount kit. After going to 2 Home Depot's and a Lowes I was unable to find the right size bolts, so I ended up buying a set of washers, and had to use 3 of them for each of the bolts that came with mount kit so that I could tighten them with out poking a hole through the front of the TV. I was actually also surprised with Sony for not including the mounting bolts for their with tv.
Good mount BUT, order the other model for 50"+ sets.......2007-12-20
This mounting system is very strong, well made, and the tilt mechanism works great. The locking screws that secure the TV arm brackets to the mounting plate add an extra level of security.
However, it's a real shame the wall bracket isn't just a couple of inches wider, so it would span 3 studs (on 16" centers). I should have read reviewer G. Knight's comments about this, before ordering.
I should have checked my stud locations before ordering this mount. I discovered that the centerline of my optimal TV location on my wall, was almost directly over a stud. So, I had to shift the mount left to the farthest recommended holes. After mounting the TV on the bracket and shifting it to the right to compensate, the wall bracket flexes by an undesireable amount.
If you are going to mount a 50" or larger TV on your wall, and want a precise placement, I recommend that you avoid this model and go with the ST670 series instead.
On the other hand, if you have a wide latitude for positioning your TV on the wall, or are lucky enough so that your TV's centerline lies directly between two studs (plus or minus 2"), this mount will do the job very nicely. My advice is, determine where you want your TV then check to see if your stud locations are optimally placed, before ordering.
Three stud mount needed for larger, or not centered studs.......2007-12-18
Unit comes with a two stud mount, I am mounting a 60 LG plasma and feel I need Peerless part 200-1901/2. I am finding out that part is about $45 plus shipping. Not available on Amazon and not available retail. Am in the middle of mounting the tv and now I have to wait....something I don't like to do.
Better than the own brand.......2007-12-18
said my installer. I'd add a lot cheaper too. Why on earth should a few pieces of pressed steel cost so much? Better than the Sony (or other brand-name wall mounts) and much cheaper. And by the way, get a local installer, not a chain like Firedog to do the work if you need a wall mount, even one on a chimney. $400 - $600 for a hour's work is simply robbery.
Low profile, strong, option to tilt or lock in place.......2007-12-17
This is a very good choice for a mount if you don't need the ability to swing the TV left or right.
It will handle a great deal of weight, which is not as important with LCDs, but plasmas are very heavy. In my case, I have a Samsung 52" LCD mounted to it, and I feel good knowing I am nowhere near the weight limit.
It is very low profile, which is one of the reasons you bought a flat screen. Why use a mount that holds it farther out from the wall if you don't have to?
It can be locked in five degree increments. So, if you always leave your TV at a certain angle, you can lock it in place and it won't shift over time. I have a much smaller LCD in the kitchen on a fully articulating mount, and I wish I could lock that one as it tends to sag forward over time and has to be readjusted. Very annoying.
There are large screws that have to be drilled into studs to install this. If you have a strong hammer drill, this is a good chance to use it. It cannot be installed without a good drill as the giant screws screw directly into the wall studs to keep all the weight securely mounted. Use a good edge-finding stud scanner to find the center of the studs so that you know the screws are secure.
After the mount is securely affixed to the wall, and the bracket is screwed into the back of the TV, it is a fairly simple matter to just hang the TV on the wall. Just make sure you use two people for the last step so that you can maneuver the television in place without dropping it.
