Sony KDL-52XBR7 Great TV

I bought the XBR7 after 5 months of study and research. I am very pleased with my decision. The picture on the set is beautiful, far exceeding the other Hi-def TVs that I own. Delivery was one day longer than estimated, but that was not really a problem. A potential headache was the fact that the price increased while I was in the process of purchasing. After I started the purchase process I investigated the warranty (my decision was no extended warranty). The price went up $154 while I was investigating the warranty. I called Amazon, got an agent who could not help me. I told her I felt like I had been "bait & switched". She passed me to a supervisor, who investigated, and sold me the TV for the price at the start of my transaction (the lower price). So all worked out, it just took about 20 minutes on the phone.

Set up was as easy as others have described. The sound quality is excellent. I have seen no negative performance issues, including slo-motion of hi-def football games I had on my DVR. My only comment to my wife was that I bet the actresses really hated Sony and Hi-def, because they don't look nearly so good now that you can really see them, LOL. I could not really tell as much on my other Hi-def TVs. This Sony is clearly worth the money. There may be better sets out there, I am not an expert. But I am very careful at spending money, and I definitely feel like the XBR7 from Amazon is a great value.
