If you want the best quality even if it’s expensive, this is probably a good choice for you. It may look massive because the speakers it uses extend beyond the already massive television’s frame, but it would look so even if they wouldn’t. It measures 66×40x20.3 inches and it weighs 121 pounds.

The speakers are not so pretty looking; they are silver, while the screen itself is framed by a glossy black border and also there is a gray pedestal base supports the silver cabinet, and a small panel opens up to reveal an A/V input with composite video as well as an HDMI input. Another good thing is the remote which is a thumb-friendly directional keypad that’s surrounded by buttons correctly sized and shaped, easy to use and attractive. The set is attractive too, even if it may seem strange. The menu is also easy to use and you should have no problems with it.

It has three chips, one each for red, green, and blue, each with 1,920×1,080 discrete pixels, which is a change from what it used to be. Other features include Twin View, which is Sony’s brand of picture-in-picture that lets you watch two inputs or channels simultaneously, but you can’t have a small picture inside a big picture, and also you can’t display images from any of the component video or HDMI inputs in the secondary window but that shouldn’t be such big trouble since it allows you to watch digital and high-def cable channels without the box and it also gives you a TV Guide on-screen EPG.

Also, they give you an additional menu section labeled Advanced Settings that appears only when you’re in the custom-picture preset. You can choose from many options and change the just about anything you want with the KDS-R60XBR2. Some are very useful but some are just for those who are trying to arrange even the smallest detail. The picture quality is very good, the details are sharp and the colours are sharp and it has three 1080p-compatible HDMI inputs, dedicated PC input but the VGA connection is not so good and not worth it. But it’s not for everyone, because it’s expensive. Price is $3499.99.
