I saw another post on the kdf55xs955 picture quality. I was just about to buy either the 55 or 60" Sony kdf-55/60xs955.
Has anyone been able to do a decent comparison of the picture quality of these Sonys vs. other brands like the new Samsung DLP's or the JVC LCOS sets? When I go to Best Buy or CC, nothing is calibrated right, and they're usually so far apart, it's hard to compare. Before I spend $3500 I want to make sure I'm getting the pest picture.
If you're going to buy a big screenHDTV, you might as well get the biggest possible because you'll always have it.
Heck.....Im kicking myself for 'only' getting a 65".

I have compared the Sony to the JVC side by side, and they were really hard to tell appart in the store. I went with the Sony (KDF-60XS955) because of the built-in tuner and other features. However, I ended up taking back the Sony due to a stuck blue pixel in the center of the screen, plus the screen-door-effect was bothersome. I'm currently waiting to see the new 61" JVC (HD-61Z886)and the new 60" Sony (KDF-E60A20)and will likely buy one of these as soon as I can compare them.
Go with the KDF-60XS955. I did 3 months of heavy duty research. This is the best TV on the market for picture quality, available connections etc...

Does anyone have the JVC set? I am in the same boat; do I buy the Sony or the JVC? Looking at the store, the JVC looked much better but I really don't know if there were calibration issues, store lighting, etc fooling my eye.
Anyway, I have looked around the Net quite a bit and heard a lot of people asking if the Sony or JVC is better but I have yet to see anyone post that actually ons the JVC.
Any JVC owners out there with opinions now they have the set in their living room?
Need Help with the multitude of connection options!
Config is as follows:
TV: Sony KDF-60XS955 (LCD) Satelite: DVR - HR10-250(standard Tivo from DTV) DVD: Onkoyo - DV-CPR500 (Progressive Scan) Receiver: Onkoyo - TX-SR600 Speakers: Jamo 6.1 955D (small)
None of the manuals have instructions to match my setup, so trying to figure out which connections to use, and in which order to use them to achieve optimal video/sound quality.
I have a boatload of cables: Optical, Coax, RBG, Component, HDMI, etc... but have no clue as to the best use of all. (Only 1 HDMI that connects the DVR to the TV)
Would greatly appreciate some guidance!
Thanks,

I'm pretty close to your set up. Set up your
sat receiver Coax from wall. HDMI from Sat box to TV Optical from Sat to receiver for audio
DVD Component video from DVD to TV Digital Coax audio from DVD to receiver
Sound to recever picture to TV. I seem to gain better PQ from TV with HDMI and better PQ on my DVD with Component
I have the -60XS955, Sony 975 DVD, Pioneer 1014 receiver and Infinity 750 5.1 speakers. Good luck
