I have a ten month old Sony 60" LCD. The black is back. I had a factory tech come to look for a hum problem thought to be a noisy power supply. That was not the case. I asked him about ISF calibration for my set and he explained that for the best pictures after the ISF adjustments are best viewed in a VERY dark room. He made a few simple adjustments over about 15 minutes to prove his point on my set. On my Sony that folks say they can't do black mine can do black much better now. The image quality that was very good, is now better. All this talk about 1080P when no one offers it in HDTV is a mystery and it has been written about. I was all set to buy the new 61" Panasonic DLP last summer when I found my TV on sale new on-line for 1/2 the prices charged at CC. Sears, and BB. I paid ~$1777.00 for it brand new. The same set last July was $3,599 and 3699 plus only $150 for shipping to my door, then a $40 bribe to the delivery guys and they brought it in and unpakced it for us. I have no regrets on the quality of the image on my set. In a few years perhaps the signals we get from dish, and cable will improve to true 1080P or better. Maybe.. To me it makes sense to buy a stand alone audio speaker system than the extra loot for the XBR Sony models. The audio is not that great that it is not easily bettered by inexpensive add on surround speaker systems of $1,000. John
