Sony Bravia XBR-Series KDL-37XBR6 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV Reviews
quality. Update: After about a month usage, both the HD and DVD pictures. The price is right from Amazon. Delivered on time, the guy opened the box. high from the factory. If you want to tinker there are more than enough picture adjustments. I looked at the panasonic 37" but it seemed a seemed somewhat lower in.
are simply beautiful. and made sure it worked before he left. The picture on both tuner and dvd met expectations, both fine. Be sure you lower brightness and contrast to standard, they are way too.
It also sounds great. I shopped around and found Amazon.com offered it for the best price. I'm a big fan of SONY products and this TV only reassures me that SONY makes a superior product. The TV has the most life-like picture. Very pleased with my purchae. It was delivered within a few days.
I especially like the pc hook-up. As we all know that is not always true with a lot of products. This was the best tv I found from doing on line and in store research. I does what it says it will do and do it very well. Works really well with my Macbook Pro. I've always like Sony tvs, and this one is no exception.
It supports Bravia Link, which makes life with my Sony DVD player a lot easier. Very adjustable, and very sexy and enjoyable to use. If you are using a TiVo remote, you will find it tedious. EXTRAS. It takes a while for the TV to turn on and it makes no sound when powered up. However, the status lights ( in the clear area below the TV but above the speakers ) are almost impossible to see in a well lit room. By using an HDMI cable, the TV is able to control the DVD player.
You must hit the input button again to highlight the next input. Other than the banding issues, I'm very happy with the picture quality. If you're looking for a great 37 inch HDTV, there aren't many choices. Still, it's extremely annoying to see ELEVEN inputs when I'm only using two.
I did notice the channel and volume buttons are placed quite low and far away from the circular directional control. You make sacrifices today when you get a TV under 40 inches. Due to the fact this TV uses 8-bit processing instead of 10-bit, there is major banding of gradients. Unfortunately all the best technology is only available at 40 inches and up, so you will be making some sacrifices to stay under 40". The TV is also quite thin and light.
There's a lot to like about this TV, but it seems that the Sharp Aquos LC37D64U has 10-bit processing which makes a significant difference when there are scenes that require lots of subtle shades of the same color. INTERFACE. Without the feedback of a green light, it can be difficult to tell if you've succeeded in turning the TV on. But I may be more sensitive to this due to my profession. PICTURE QUALITY.
The interface for the TV is sensational. It is 60Hz. Let me make it clear this TV is NOT 120Hz. Then you must wait a few seconds, and the TV will select the new input. One less remote on my coffee table. Had I known that 10-bit processing alleviates this problem I would have made that a must-have feature for my TV purchase. I haven't seen the Sharp myself, but based on the tech specs I would advise anyone looking for a TV in this size and price range to check it out.
As a web graphics professional it is extremely obvious to me, to the point of being annoying and distracting when there are scenes that have strong gradients. The Sony styling is very appealing much nicer than the best Samsung and Sharp in this size. The DVD player turns off and on automatically as needed and the TV remote can play, pause forward, etc. REMOTE. This TV is also has a DMEX connector, so you can use all the latest pricey add-ons that Sony is making, like the Internet Video Link.
IN SUMMARY. I only use the remote when I want to watch a DVD, so I may not be the ideal candidate to speak about the remote. HARDWARE. Pressing the input button will first show you a menu of all possible inputs. The one you are currently on is highlighted. The interface insists on showing all possible inputs in the menu and there are ELEVEN.
Wonderful. One of the factors that influenced my decision was an Amazon review for the 37" Samsung, which compared it to this Sony and claimed the Sony was 120Hz. I had no problems mounting it on a stand myself. The included remote is one of the nicest I've had with a TV in a long time. It looks beautiful, is simple, nicely sized, and doesn't feel cheap. The only nit is the interface for changing inputs. Unused inputs are grayed out and cannot be selected.
I found Samsung, Sharp and Sony as the highest rated in this size. This TV doesn't handle those kinds of scenes well lots of banding. The bezel is nice and thin, which means this TV doesn't take up much space for a 37-incher.
I have never been more pleased than with my purchase of the Sony Bravia XBR6 37" TV. From order to delivery, it was a wonderful experience. It is a fantastic product.
