*drools*

The 2005 SXRD line was a great tv with a phenomenal picture.

I was amazed that a "first gen" product could come out this strong, right out of the gate.

See? It can be done right when these companies feel like it!

Easily the best RPTV on the market right now hands down.

The only thing missing was accepting 1080P, so the 2006 series is good to go.

If I had the means and the space, I'd buy it right now, without hesitation.

Every person that I recommended these sets to that were in the market either called me personally or emailed me/PM'd me with "thank you thank you thank you!"

Just put some high quality HD on one of these bad boys (imagine football!) and come talk to me after you pick your jaw up off the floor and clean the drool!

Sony wants/needs a Trinitron successor and phenomenon. I personally believe these can be it for them.

Yeah lets just hope the quality control stays in place.

SONY 4tMF'nWinzx0rz!!!!!

BTBuck1 · 07-01-2006, 06:33 PM

ps, i've heard a "Free" firmware update is comming for the 05 SXRD's sometime before the launch of BDPS-1 & ps3. that allows 1080p over HDMI.

Psiweaver · 07-01-2006, 06:36 PM

that would make sense.

My brother is likely going with the 60" model. We just shopped them, and the two things I didn't like were the lack of 1080p support and the silly speakers on the side. In THIS day and age it suprises me to no end that manufacturers haven't learned that speakers either need to be small and mostly out of the way (tucked into the projection area at the bottom) or they need to be removable.

I guess the Qualia versions are removable and the standard series are tucked into the bottom area. Either way, it's a huge improvement for the aesthetics considering that it is going into a room with full surround sound.

Both of our Sony KDS..XBR1 tv's (55' and 60') failed after normal wear and tear. (4-5 months on display) Developed a green hue/rainbow on the whole upper right corner of the tv.. The Samsung HLS-6188W will be sure to compete with the Sony XBR2's -circuit city So. Cali.

Interesting, we've had the complete opposite luck here at BBY in oceanside, CA. our samsung DLP bulbs seem to go out about every 4-6 weeks and our SXRD's look as good as the day we took them out of the box many months later. Samsung rep comes in now regularly to change the bulb on our Sammy DLP's so they will always be up and functional. This is what scared me away and into 3LCD sony's. (that and a Better Picture IMO)

That would be great I have a Sony kdf tv and was pissed when my brother got a 1080p dlp

TurboNutter · 07-02-2006, 06:28 PM

Sounds sweet! But I have a small apartment in New York. I wonder if they'll come out with a smaller version, like a 37" or 40" ?

Psiweaver · 07-03-2006, 05:27 PM

most likely won't be coming out with a smaller version simply because of the fact that its rear projection and the intial production cost of the TV.

mainman · 07-03-2006, 10:39 PM

Damn, still no native 1080p 32" tv's.

Funny how we have the opposite problems.. I've never seen a bulb go out on our Sammy's.. Panasonic LCD RPTV, but not our Samsungs

a pixel count that high in that small a tv is not something you would notice.
