Defective remote
»
Sony xbr6, 46 inch version: very fine picture, but troublesome remote. The "Jump" function does not always work. The TV displays the message Now Tuning but the channels do not switch. This was a problem I also had with the Sony Z-series TV this summer and that is why I traded for the XBR6. A Sony repair man was sent to "professionally evaluate" the TV. He replaced the main circuit board and remote sensor. This did not solve the problem. He then told me that he cannot repair the unit by replacing any more parts. He called Sony directly from my home and told them the same. I was promised some contact from Sony. It has not happened. After several more calls to Sony, I got promises of return calls which did not come. Now I have a defective unit that according to the repair tech cannot be fixed and Sony is not responding to my concerns.

Has no separate Antenna/Cable Inputs
»
The white glove delivery was smooth and picture and sound were the high quality I expect from Sony. But what a shock when I tried to connect the yagi antenna. On page 12 I was told to "go buy an A/B switch" and on page 46, as if an afterthought, I was told how to "Add Digital Channels" by using my A/B switch to select the antenna and doing another chanel scan (aka "Auto Program"). But FIRST you have to TELL the TV that you have swicched to the Antenna. This is the ONLY method, (nothing on the remote). This is what you have to do any time you want to "pop" over to the off-air local to see if, or enjoy, the program of interest in HD.
1. Press "Home" 2. Click three times to the left 2. Click twice up. 3. Press the center button (equivalent to "enter"),4. click once to the right 5, Click once down 6. click "enter" 7. click return three times.
I will not be buying another TV in my life time and given that the White Glove crew kindly took away the packing and all the inconvenience to return --- I'm stuck sitting with a multi thousand dollar boat anchor.

Simply Amazing
»
As the title states, this set is simply amazing. This set is replacing my 32" KDL-32S3000, which was also a fantastic TV, just a little too small for my new residence.
Anyway, the color is gorgeous, and the picture quality is astounding. The sound is alright, as is to be expected from small in-cabinet speakers. Sony's PS3-esq menu system is a nice touch. The TV actually uses the second revision of it, so it makes a little more sense on this one than it did on the older models.
Feature set is great as well. Sony has a lot of nice little touches on this unit really help it stand out. The logo glows, for example, but you can shut it off. In the off setting, it still lights up when the TV is powered on or off, but it gently fades out after a few seconds. Ambient light sensor to control the brightness is a nice, as well as the built-in (and free) TV Guide (though I presume this would be less useful for folks using a cable box).
The remote is nice - just like the rest of the bravia line, and it has a programmable backlight too. It will function as a universal remote, and has the buttons to control a VCR or DVD player as well.
All in all, this is a fantastic set, and I'm very excited to continue to use it.

Picture Perfect!
»
Just got my very own last week. The picture is excellent, sound is good (though I use my surround sound), sleek look and perfect color! Can't say enough about the picture quality. I've seen comparative models at the store and they're inferior in color quality. I have Wii, PS3, DVD, hooked up to it and they all look very crisp and clear, especially the PS3 (blu-ray)!
