Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)First of all, I actually bought the 60NX801, which i believe is the same unit as sold thru COSTCO. I bought it bundled with a T57 Blueray Home Theatre system,which is also top notch.If you never considered a HT sys, think again, you'll hear a lot more with the surround system, and it dramatically improves the viewing experience.
I shopped and "researched" for about a year, and also considered 3D units. I have been a SONY user for many years and feel very comfortable with thier products in general. A few months into the process, I eliminated all the other manufacturers which made the decision easier.Then the next decision was 3D or not. After viewing 3D's in numerous stores,including the Sony store, I thought it wasn't worth the hastle of batteries, glasses, etc. since many of the glasses I tried had some problem during the demos.
Making the decision, was further complicated by the so-called experts,especially CNET whose reviews never rated any TV very well. I assume once they found a TV they liked, they would be out of business. So, so much for the experts. I am sure you realize the "picture" usually looks great in the show room, and also depends very much on the subject matter. Finally, I got a couple of techies in the Sony store to give me thier opinion, since they set these systems up every day..both recommended this unit.
Setting up the TV and Home Theatre system is very simple and easy, but not intuitive. I screwed around with it for days, got wrong info from 3 Sony guys on the phone (not sure what continent they were on) but finally got it right. The Cable box goes into input 2 and HT goes into input 1.., go figure.that's it, simple, but not what i expected.
Finally, picture is great right out of the box, HD and the standard DVD is exceptional, I haven't tried a Blueray DVD yet, nor the Widgets, etc. I did upgrade the software via an ethernet connection, which was easy.
My only problem is that my room is on the small side, and i think the set is a bit oversized. Which brings me to this note, HD comes thru very well, but if the background is out of focus, say in a golf match, you notice it much more on a very large screen such as this. The quality is very dependent on the quality coming in, on a small set, the image would be more forgiving.
Finally, the TV and the HT system are "synchronized" or mated, so that the TV automatically sends the sound to the HT if it is on, or to its own speakers if the HT is off, a very convenient feature, in my opinion...one last thing, the unit is fixed to its stand and does not tilt forward and back.. not a big issue, mine tilts a bit into the room , but I can live with it.
