    How good is the Sony XBR Grand WEGA Rear Projection 60"

    I also was able to get a great deal on one and decided to take the plunge. I was a bit nervous as I had done quite a bit of research and ordered it sight unseen. The first generation versions were good but not great. These are the sets you'll read a lot about on the boards. Biggest issue was the...

    Are Model Years Strict?

    As usual, thanks for the feedback guys. It's very helpful for a newbie like me. Bruce, I have a satelite dish. It's a bit old and I need an upgrade anyhow ("doubly" dig sound - spinal tap anyone?) I guess this simplifies my decision. Other than the built in decoder, I was wondering about...

    Showrooms stacking the deck?

    Thanks guys. I appreciate your comments. Bruce, living in New York cynicism is innate. I take everything with a grain of salt. I also have to take reviews with a grain of salt.

    Showrooms stacking the deck?

    I'm looking for a big screen tv and after learning a bit here I went to a local high end store to answer some questions and see what they considered to be top of the line for reference purposes. After looking at a few tvs he suggested one of the cheaper ones. It was a Sony XBR (somewhere in the...
