This is one great hdtv!
|
Have had this for a little over 2 months now and it is wonderful! I agree with the 8/31/2007 review by Keyur H. Desai especially re: the upscaling dvd player. I happened to buy the same one - Sony DVP-NS75H. I thought my regular dvd player would give a great picture but it didn't. Definitely get one.
I researched buying an hdtv for a long time, and decided on a dlp, either Samsung or Sony. But I didn't like the reflective black cases on the Samsungs. This has a slightly larger bezel than the Samsungs I was looking at, but believe me it's no big deal, especially since the color is an unobtrusive matte dark gray, with a matte silver on the bottom. And the screen is non-reflective also, unlike some lcds and plasmas. As for the sound, we have a smaller home, so I don't even have a 5.1 system, and the sound from this is all we need.
I have a Comcast hdtv DVR, hooked up with very inexpensive hdmi cable (diito for the dvd player)that I got from ehdmi dot com. The hd channels are amazing, especially sports. Tennis, football, baseball...all awesome...and my husband can't wait for hockey season. He was skeptical about getting an hdtv (we had an excellent 6 year old Sony 32" tube tv...now in our son's room). Almost every night now hubby says "I love this tv." I haven't noticed any artifacts at all from this tv.
We sit between 8 and 10 feet away, and even non-hdtv movies look good. If they're 4:3, I can zoom and it still looks ok. Though not like hd!
When I first got it I used the tools on our Finding Nemo dvd to set the picture settings, but honestly it looked just fine right out of the box.
I thought I wanted the 50", but this one is plenty big for our space and the distance we sit from it. And this is so lightweight compared to the old Sony. That thing weighed like 160 lbs. I also thought I needed 1080p, but I didn't! I can't see how the picture could be that much better to justify spending so much more money.
The viewing angle is not an issue. Anywhere we sit it's perfect. Sure, if you lay on the floor and look up at it, it will be darker, but who does that? Or if you're way off to the side it looks darker, but we don't sit there to watch tv.
I will buy the extended warranty from Sony Style, but not until the first year warranty is almost up. I called them, and if you buy say a 4 year extended warranty, that includes your 1st year too, so it's only really 3 years past your normal included warranty period of one year. I asked when is the last date that you can buy the extended warranty, and they said something like the 1st day of the month, one month before your warranty ends. So if I bought it on 7/3, I'd need to purchase by 6/1. But call them yourself to find out for sure. I just figured why give them my money early, ya know? And the extended warranties are based on how much the tv cost, and it is not at all expensive for a 900 dollar tv. Definitely worth it for the peace of mind it will bring...so many things can go wrong. I know I'll have to buy a new bulb in a couple of years, but that's ok with me, since this tv is wonderful.
Buy it now while there are still some around for this price, instead of spending so much more for the newer model.
Peace.
