Strength:
As described in others
Weakness:
Tuner. Maybe just this one but beware I recently got the XBR450 and am quite disappointed with its main tuner. About 10 minutes in, most channels lose their sharpness, some with what I guess weaker signal show highly visible static horizontal and vertical bands. I can attribute this to the tuner rather than the cable signal due to: Similar Products Used: XBR400 |

Strength:
DRC circuitry,HDTV ready with 16-9 vertical compression, NO SCAN LINES WITH DRC ENGAGED.
Weakness:
None so far, but the demo unit i looked at had major geometry problems. This set is amazing no scan lines with the drc on , also can control the vmc from the menu, i have not seen any motion artifacts so far , that is what i worried about before buying this set, new menu system looks great.Regular cable looks perfect and very 3d looking.If you have a xbr250 this set is very close to that in terms of picture , just with out any noticable scan lines.

Strength:
GREAT PICTURE CLARITY AND DEFINITION, ESPECIALLY WHEN USING DVD
Weakness:
WEIGHS A TON PRETTY EASY TO FOLLOW ON SCREEN MENUS, PICTURE AND COLORS ARE UNBELIEVABLE. LIKE LOOKING OUT A 3' WINDOW. DID THEY HAVE TO MAKE IT SO HEAVY THOUGH? WEIGHS ABOUT 275LBS. WITH ALL OF THE WIRES TO HOOK UP, YOU NEED EASY ACCESS TO THE REAR OF THE TV. MINE IS LOCATED IN A BUILT-IN BOOK CASE AND I FOUND MYSELF HAVING TO TRY AND MUSCLE THE TV BACK AND FORTH GETTING EVERYTHING CONNECTED PROPERLY...THOUGHT I BROKE MY BACK A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THOUGHT I BROKE THE TV A COUPLE OF TIMES. OVERALL THOUGH, NOT A BETTER PICTURE AVAILABLE THAT IS NOT HIGH DEFINITION AND I THINK THIS PICTURE WAS BETTER THAN MANY OF THE HIGH DEF. SETS I LOOKED AT. PAID $1950, WOULD HAVE GIVEN A 5-STAR VALUE RATING IF I COULD HAVE GOT THIS FOR ABOUT $1500. |
