BTW: I am in the process of purchasing a 72 inch Toshiba for my dog. He isn't as picky as I am and doesn't mind the low tech DLP technology.
Consumer Reports Recommends Toshiba

"CR Quick Recommendations:" Consumer Reports:
Best of the biggest:
• Mitsubishi WD-65732 , $2800
• Mitsubishi WD-65831 , $3000
• Sony KDS-R60XBR2 , $3800
• Toshiba 62HM196 , $2500
• Toshiba 62MX196 , $2900
"Almost all the TVs in the largest size category are worth considering, especially if you find them at good prices. This Sony and the two Toshiba sets are among the best rear-projection models we've ever tested, with excellent picture quality on all types of programs. All three have 1080p resolution and two or three HDMI inputs. While it's pricey, the Sony LCoS TV performed beautifully and came with an extra lamp that's worth a few hundred dollars. The two Toshiba sets use single-chip DLP technology. The higher price of the 62MX196, part of the Cinema Series, gets you a black finish and a few more features, including an Ethernet jack for connecting the TV to a home network, and user-adjustable color controls."
I Said "High End" Not "Consumer Reports Recommends"
by EXCON - 3/29/07 8:58 AM In reply to: Consumer Reports Recommends Toshiba by drfloss327Consumer Reports ALSO recommends the Ford Focus! your point? I agree that the Toshiba is the BEST LOW BUDGET 70 + inch TV on the market today. Wanna save cash and own a 70 inch TV? TOSHIBA!
Want QUALITY? You know what you need to do Steweee! Just sell it NOW while you can still get 500 bucks for it, buy an MX3000 remote with the 500 and then pick up a REAL TV!!
LOL....

ANYTHING:

SonyXBR2, at $3800.00 rated a score of 80.
Toshiba, at $2500.00 rated a 78.
I believe that REMOTELY indicates its performance.
WHO CARES??
by bloodyR - 3/29/07 9:14 AM In reply to: I Said "High End" Not "Consumer Reports Recommends" by EXCONIf he's happy with his TV, what difference does it make? Also, price doesn't mean everything. I'll gladly put my Panasonic plasma up against a Pioneer that costs twice as much, and you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference.
EXON CONSUMER REPORTS SUCKS
by stewart norrie - 3/29/07 11:48 AM In reply to: I Said "High End" Not "Consumer Reports Recommends" by EXCONI had my own car stereo business back in the mid 70s I sold only stereos that I knew for fact would be reliable, sound great with no problems and good factory backing. Also read a lot of consumer report magazines, every thing they rated excellent was pure crap especially bloupunk. I would not sell that to my dog either Just punch in 72HM195 in your computor and read customer reviews 5 star baby and the only flaw you will see is the orgional lamp was factory defective recalled which many customers did not know about Also Toshiba customer is better than Sony gave me an extra year on lamp warrenty Anyway old chap isn"t it fun to get mad as hell I love it Just like Poker and funny part is WHO CARES all fun PEACE PEACE But to make you happy I will buy my doggie a Sony so he can go blind steweeeeeeeeee the freak

Answer For Original Poster
by EXCON - 3/29/07 12:14 PM In reply to: I Just LOVE To by EXCONJust an FYI:
I can tell you one thing about the Sony that is not in dispute, at least from my perspective. The service is UNBELIEVABLE. I ended up with my KDS R70 XBR2 simply because my 2003 70 inch Grand Wega had a SLIGHTLY DEFORMED piece of plastic covering the bulb. I complained to Sony and for $800.00 they replaced my 4 year old set with a brand new XBR2. In addition I complained about 4 dead pixels. Sony replaced the light engine AND is recalibrating the set for FREE. In addition for my troubles Sony gave me 4 $300.00 replacement bulbs so actually I am 400 bucks AHEAD AND I got a 2007 1080p TV along with a free calibration! NOW THATS SERVICE!
I have owned ALOT of high end TV's Pioneer Elites, Sonys, Hitachis, Mitsubishis etc. and NOTHING has come close to the new LYCOS technology. I now own 2 Panasonic 600 Series Plasmas as well as the Sony. I almost went back to the Pioneer until I did my research and checked out the XBR2's. Once I saw what these sets can dobefor and particularly AFTER calibration frankly there was no question in my mind other than what remote to buy to compliment the new component. If your into gaming the PS3 looks amazing using HDMI. The only "complaint" is the fact that Sony offers so many bells and whistles on these Flagship sets that it literally takes days to figure out how to use the menu properly.
EXCON, I BELIEVE THAT "LYCOS" IS A WEB DESTINATION LIKE....
by Riverledge - 3/29/07 3:05 PM In reply to: Answer For Original Poster by EXCON"YAHOO" or "MSN."
THE HDTV's are "LCoS". Not criticizing, but you really don't want to come across like STEWEEEEEE do you???
river.
WHY?
by widojofus - 3/29/07 4:01 PM In reply to: Answer For Original Poster by EXCONwhy do u defend ur sony so much. even if ur tv is the best does it really matter? its all about prefrence anyways. i do agree, stewe is crazy, but if he thinks the toshiba looks best who cares, to him it does. i personally like the samsung, but does it really matter. samsung and sony r the two most popular rptvs out there, due to there great performance, and samsung uses dlp. so enjoy your sony, ill enjoy my samsung, and stewe can enjoy his toshiba and we can stop arguing abot which is best because it doen't matter.
SXRD is AWESome in Daylight and viewing on an angle
by europeantenders - 3/29/07 4:51 PM In reply to: Question for Sony SXRD Owners by ks321My first Gen SXRD 50" is the best TV I've every owned.
I can see the picture from my kitchen on a 170 degree
angle and about 30 feet away. Sunlight really doesn't
affect it,since the screen doesn't have a mirror finish
like a lot of other HDTV's.They use the mirror effect to make the picture seem brighter,when in fact,you get
such a "Glare" in the light,that you need sunglasses
in your own home.LOL. The picture adjustments are so
vast,that I sometimes feel I need to call for a video
professional to adjust the picture properly. Not that
it's a problem,it's fantastic,the amount of picture
enhancements. Sony did the SXRD's right,even the first
generation was superb. The only caveat,is the fact that
my older model will not input 1080p thru the HDMI,but
it still upconverts any 1080i signal through HDMI into
progressive. So in the end,it's sort of the same,I guess.
I agree
by savagesteve13 - 4/5/07 3:31 AM In reply to: SXRD is AWESome in Daylight and viewing on an angle by europeantendersMy Sony SXRD 60" has an amazing picture. No single chip spinning color wheel thingy DLP compares to 3-chip LCOS. I researched TV's the old fashioned way, by looking at the picture quality in person and comparing via "squinty vision" and the difference is obvious. DLP has an odd blockiness and has "speckles" (the best term I can use to describe it). SXRD is clear dynamic. Colors are nice, and the resolution is fantastic. Its been reliable so far and I have had no issues to date.
3-chip LCOS is the only way to go, all the other technologies (DLP, LED projection) have too many noticeable limitations.
