Re: HD TV's - Sony vs Mitsubishi (Thanks Guys)

Thanks for the feeback fellas! Well, It's done. I bought the KDSR60XBR2 SXRD with a BDI Deploy 60' Cherry wood Stand. I have to tell ya, I don't miss the old Mitsubishi CRT at all! I was worried about going from the 65" Mitsu to the 60' XBR, it actually appears to look about the same size in my room; which is a dedicated theater room at around 20x20 in size, so it's not a problem. You guys mentioned to look for the resolution in the blacks and this is what drew me to the set to begin with. It resolves like a plasma and just slightly edges out the New Mitsubishi DLP for resolution, but the Mitsu was no slouch. I went with the Sony for a couple reasons, 1) It blew my socks off for an RPT 2) I was not concerned with the addtional 3 colors that the Mitsu offered (which is a nice feature, but I think I'd be tweaking all the time) 3) The Sony just bested it when watching DiscoveryHD still shots and the appearance of 3D dimensionality and background detail is what grabbed me. It looks even better at home. I did bring down the levels a bit as you know they have them jacked to the max; even so it still delivers an impecable picture, not to mention I got it and the stand for a fantastic deal that I couldn't pass up. I just finished setting up tonight and was watching Harry Potter on HBOHD, wow. I also added a couple new cables from AudioQuest (a couple RCA's, HDMI and a Component cable (also a good choice). I'm very pleased and would recommend this set to anyone, the only thing that might touch the feel you get when watching it is a Pioneer Elite Plasma. Anyway that's my opinion. Thanks again guys.
