Good luck to you. Phone: 1-800-631-0258 Web: www.checkmyrebate.com |
| Television Installat... | Stand for KDF 55WF655 | I own the Sony 55XS955 and purchased a Bush stand from Circuit City that fits it perfectly. It is one of the few wood stands out there that sells at a reasonable price. What I like about the stand is that it has three drawers and a lot of space of my AV equipment. The stand, Bush Plasma/DLP TV Console (VS1358801), sells for $299.00, but if you wait, CC web site often has it for $209.99. Your local CC store will meet the web price. One thing I will tell you about this stand is that it is quite evolved to put together. It takes about 3 hours to assemble. The instructions are very good, but th .. |

| Television Misc and ... | 55XS955 or 60WF655 Which one would you buy? | Hi echelonphoto and bigairmaier: I agree that the Sony XS955 has a great picture. I spent several weeks comparing the picture to just about every microsystem out there and I kept coming back to the Sony. There colors are just so bright and vivid. I love the fact you can tweak the picture setting in the Pro mode and really customize how the picture looks. I ended up getting the Bush wood TV stand from Circuit City. It has two glass doors on either end and my stereo equipment fit perfectly in the stand. The wood look is very rich and my 55XS955 fits it perfectly. Now that I have had my TV .. |
| Television Misc and ... | 55XS955 or 60WF655 Which one would you buy? | Hi jdellman: So glad to hear you bought a RPTV. I think you will be really happy with the Toshiba 52HM84. The review in the in The Perfect Vision showed that the Toshiba is a great TV and one that I am sure you will enjoy for years. I really like the way the set looked on the matching stand you will be getting. I agree with your analysis in that the 55XS955 would likely not fall below $3k and with the Crutchfield deal of the stand, no tax and the $300 gift card, it was a deal that was hard to refuse. You throw in their no interest, no payment financing, and it is truly a great deal. Als .. |
| Television Misc and ... | 55XS955 or 60WF655 Which one would you buy? | Hi jdellman: Glad you had a chance to preview the Toshiba. It does look like a nice set and you can get it online for a good price. The Crutchfield deal is pretty good, given you get the matching TV stand and a $300 gift card. You can find the Toshiba online for less, but I know from past experience and other posts that Crutchfield is a reputable company. As far as the knock on gray scale tracking that the Perfect Vision article noted for the Toshiba 52HM84 here is what I found out on this on the internet. Grayscale Tracking: The color balance of a projector at various light .. |
| Television Configura... | Calibrating KDF-55XS955 | Hi boulderskies: Like you I am a proud owner of the 55XS955 set. You may already know this, so forgive me if I am telling you something you know. One of the advantages of the Sony XS series is the number of video adjustment you can make in the Pro video mode. If you go to the Pro mode, it activates the Advance Video menu section. The video adjustment you can make include CLEAR WHITE: which emphasizes white colors, LIVE COLOR which enhances blues and greens, a four-position DETAIL ENHANCER which sharpens images, a BLACK CORRECTOR which enhances dark-scene contrast, and a four-position GAM .. |
| Television Misc and ... | 55XS955 or 60WF655 Which one would you buy? | Hi Jdellman: Sorry I did not post sooner. I have been away for the holidays. Trust me, I know what you are going through in trying to decide what set to purchase. Just when you thought you know what you want, something comes up that makes you second guess yourself. Part of this is that spending $3k is a lot of money and you want to make the right choice. The other part is that there are so many choice on the market that it become confusing. I can honestly say that the more educated I became on the pros and cons of each set and the different technologies, the more confused I became. .. |
| Television Misc and ... | 55XS955 or 60WF655 Which one would you buy? | Hi Jdellman: I have been going through a long and hard process in trying to make the decision of what to buy, where to buy and if I should buy. I finally made the decision to purchase the Sony 55XS955 model. The reason I chose this model over the WF series is that I really liked the look of the set, with the extended speakers, but more importantly, I really liked the picture adjustments you can make in the Pro mode. I spent some time with the XS and adjusted the gamma, black level, while level, detail enhancer, in the Pro mode and you could really fine tune the picture. This is not possible on .. |
| Television Misc and ... | Time Warner NYC customers - Help! | Guys, I am a TWC customer as well and I am waiting for my TWC to release their HD DVR, which they keep telling me is being beta tested right now. In reading your posts I was interested and disappointed to hear that the DVI output was not activated. I did a little search on the net and find a post on another site that says that Scientific Atlanta and TWC will be activating the DVI sometime in the first quarter of '05. If true, this is good news for all of us TWC HD customers. Below is the post I found on on Audioholics. "For those of you who subscribe .. |
| Television Misc and ... | 55XS955 or 60WF655 Which one would you buy? | Fade2Black: Thanks so much for providing me with the Perfect Vision review. They clearly loved the set. I have watched Monday Night Football on the TV and it is absolutely stunning. It feels like you are right there in the stadium. Let me know if you end up getting the XS and what screen size. I would love the 60 in, but the 55 in is also very nice. |
| Television Misc and ... | 55XS955 or 60WF655 Which one would you buy? | Fade2Black: Thank you for your comments. I tried finding the Perfect Vision mag, but the local Barnes & Noble had the Nov/Dec issue, not the Jan/Feb issue that has the review of the 55XS955. Can you tell me how it rated as compared to the Toshiba? I am wondering what kind of rating the 55XS955 received from the mag. Thanks |
| Television Misc and ... | 55XS955 or 60WF655 Which one would you buy? | Hi Toli, thank you for telling me about Rhonda's schedule. I tried calling her several times today and each time I got her voice mail. Now that I know she is in on Wednesdays, I will try again tomorrow. I will be a name dropper and tell her I got her name from you. We will see what she can do on the 60XS or even on the 60WF. I have not really dealt with Crutchfield before. Do you know if they negotiate at all with their stated prices or are do they tell you their advertise price is their price? Take care! |
| Television Misc and ... | 55XS955 or 60WF655 Which one would you buy? | Hi Toli, I did call them today. They gave me a price for the 60XS of $3,659 delivered and the Sony stand for $379 plus an estimated $70 for shipping. One thing they do not offer is financing through Sony. Right now Sony has 18 months no interest, no payments. An offer that is hard to refuse. I am curious, what price did they quote you for the 60XS? I really appreciate all your work Toli. You have been great. |
| Television Misc and ... | 55XS955 or 60WF655 Which one would you buy? | Jttar and Toli thank you so much for your posts. I really appreciate the advice. I am going to call Oade on Monday (they are closed on the weekends) and see what deal they can give me on the 60XS with the Sony stand. I agree with you guys that the bigger set is nicer and if I can swing the XS I will do that due to the extra HDMI input and Advance picture setting. I have compared the XS and the WF side by side and I have not seen any difference, and based on what I have read they have the exact same Grand Wega, same bulb, same chips, the only picture difference being the Live Color and adva .. |
| Television Misc and ... | 55XS955 or 60WF655 Which one would you buy? | Hi Toli, thanks or your reply. Our family room is in the basement so it is pretty dark. No direct lighting. I thought both the XS and WF have the same non-reflective screen, but maybe I am wrong. My big dilemma is should I go with the larger screen since we sit back pretty far from the TV or go with the slightly better enhancements of the XS model. I cannot get the 60 inch XS model because is out of my price range, plus I plan on getting the TV at Crutchfield where they are offering for free the matching Sony stand for the 55XS or the 60WF. What would you do? I am leaning towards the big .. |
| Television Misc and ... | 55XS955 or 60WF655 Which one would you buy? | I am narrowed down my choice to the buying either the Grand Wega 55XS955 or the 60WF655. Both sets have an awesome picture and sell for the same price. So it comes down to going with the larger picture of the 60 inch WF or the smaller 55 inch XS, that has a few upgrades such as better speakers, a 2nd HDMI input and additional video adjustments you can make. The speakers probably do not make much difference to me because I run everything through my sound system. I like the styling a little more of the XS but the 60 inch is really nice. I sit anywhere from 12.5 feet to 15 feet from our TV, .. |
| Playstation 2 player... | Playstation 2 on a LCD rear projection microsystem | Thanks for your post Toli. It is good to know you have not had any issues playing console games on your Grand Wega. [ This message was edited by: Jagster1 on 2004-12-18 00:44 ] |
| Television Misc and ... | Buy Now or Buy Later | I am having one of those indecisive moments. I am looking to replace my aging 27in CRT for a new Sony LCD Microsystems. Have narrowed my choices to either the KDF-60WF655 or the KDF-55XS955. Both are great TVs and have wonderful pictures. My problem is I am not sure if I should wait a few months until the next new live of Grand Wegas come out. I know you can always get caught in the "wait and see" game, but I don't want to buy and say to myself: "Gee had I just waited a few months I could have bought a new line that has a lot of improvements". Can anyone help me? Does anyone kn .. |
