4.0 out of 5 stars BIG , BEAUTIFUL, BLANK, July 8, 2004

By	Georganna Gilliam "geonetro" (crescent city, ca USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought my Sony Grand Wega 60" TV in March. Up until 4 days ago I enjoyed the most beautiful picture quality that anyone could ask for. While I was watching a program in High definition and surround sound, everything went black. The bulb went out. I have kinda been expecting this after reading all the problems that Sony has been having with the bulbs going out. There is a article in HOME THEATER MAGAZINE, That states the Sony engineering team has found that there is a combination issue between the lamp and the circuitry in the lamp block,causing the inability for the TV lamp to power on. A service bulletin has been issued authorizing Sony Service Centers and Authorized Service Centers to replace the lamp and /or lamp block in affected units at no cost to the consumer.Consumers who may be experiencing this symptom should contact Sony at (800) 222-sony to schedule a service call.

It's been about a year and a half since Sony replaced the bulb in my TV and it's still going strong. I am still totally in love with it. Four of my friends bought the same TV after viewing mine. I couldn't live without it now. I ended up buying a 850 watt 5.1 surround sound system from Sony too. My home theatre is so much better then going to the movies. I have people comming over all the time to my CINEMA They say it's FANTASTIC !!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Most Bang for Your Buck, August 12, 2004

By	Cotton I. Joe "cottonijoe1" (Northport, AL USA) - See all my reviews

I love this TV. Period. I paid $3,499 for it at a franchise electronics store; it was delivered four days later; and now I can't wait to get home from work every night and watch it. Watching a high quality DVD through one of the two HD inputs is an awesome experience.

At the store, I looked at it next to a Mitsubishi 65" CRT and a Samsung 55" plasma. It annihilated the CRT and held its own with the plasma (for about half the price of the plasma). That is what sold me.

It has just the right number of inputs for my AV system. The picture quality for HD input is incredible. For SD inputs, it is so-so, but that is mostly the lower quality signal.
It is also a great looking cabinet.

I had read that Sony had some problems with the model's lamp blowing out earlier this year, but I understood that was fixed; so I took a chance. My unit has a June 2004 manufacturing date, and I have had it about a week now. No problems; just a beautiful picture at a very affordable price.

5.0 out of 5 stars KF60WE610..... BEAUTIFUL, May 5, 2005

By	Susan Lines "J.L." (DELANCO, NEW JERSEY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've had mine since last May and I love it. I just had the picture calibrate and it's even greater I didn't think it was possible but it's absolutly the best picture you could possibly get in HD AND DVD I've always been a Mits. tv owner but I'm glad I went with this SONY model. [...]. You wouln't belive how it looks after he is done. WOW is all I can really say. I also have the HR10-250 HD TIVO and I can watch all recorded shows in HD and you can't even tell they are recorded they look just like your watching a live show instead of having that taped look. Well when I seen this board I had to write because I wouln't be doing all of you a favor by giving you a heads up on this TV I also looked and searched before I bought this. I wanna say that if you are going to spend thousands of dollars on any HDTV you should spend the extra 400 to 500 dollars to have it ISF CALIBRATE I didn't know this man at all but he had some great reviews on HDTVoice.com he travels all over the country so you have to set up an appointment. Again to anyone who has or is gonna buy a HDTV you should put into your budget the cost to get it calibrate it makes such a difference. WELL ENJOY I WATCH EVERYTHING IN HIGH DEF NOW AND IT'S GREAT SO I HOPE AND WISH ALL OF YOU WELL ON YOUR JORNEY TO YOUR NEW WORLD OF TV WATCHING IN HIGH DEF. [...]
