 Warning! Feb 04, 2010
I purchased this t.v. in December '08. It worked great for just shy of one year and then it simply went dead: no picture, no sound, only turns on and off. If the t.v. still worked I'd have no major complaints, perhaps the greens and reds are a little off but I was able to mostly correct this with some customizing. And the sound is excellent, especially when compared to Samsung.
Update: I'm now trying to get Sony to replace the t.v. It was repaired and delivered yesterday. After watching it for about 5 minutes, the same problem happened.... No picture, no sound. Needless to say, the only thing that will satisfy me now is receiving a new t.v.
--------
Here's the problem. I contacted Sony 8 weeks ago to explain the difficulty we were having, spent about 2 hours trying to fix it over the phone to no avail. I suggested they give me approval to get it serviced, but they insisted I wait for a USB software update in the mail.... 6 weeks later after 3 incorrect address delivery attempts and more customer service incompetence than you can possibly imagine, I finally received the software update (I had them overnight it). And of course, it didn't work.
Next we move onto the service phase where I am now in a holding pattern. I needed to get a repair breakdown and service estimate from the technician, but he wouldn't give me one as he had no idea what was wrong with the t.v.: "No picture. No sound. Huh? Only turn on/off...." Now I am waiting to talk to his manager to get some document I can fax back to Sony along with all the receipts in order for them to approve repair service.
In summary, our t.v. has not worked for well over a month, I have wasted well over five hours talking to incompetent Sony representatives over the phone, and I have little hope of having a working t.v. anytime soon. Thankfully it is still under warranty (by only one week!). I am hoping I have no problems with my other Sony equipment in the future. In any case, this will be my last Sony purchase.
Comment
 I LOVE my Sony, but also was expremely impressed with service. Jan 22, 2010
I cannot say enough about this company. The model I originally ordered was out of stock, so they Up-graded me to the newest model! They called me and explained the situation and asked if I would mind. I was extremely impressed with this and would recommend them to all. The TV came on time and works great!
Paying extra for a Bravia XBR was well worth it. I thought the 40" might be too big for my bedroom (couldn't see the old one from my bed), but it's perfect.!
Sony Bravia loving it! Jun 08, 2009
I did a lot of research and then a lot of shopping for this product and am very satisfied with the picture and ease of use.
As a non-techno guy I was a bit concerned about how I would be able to hook it up with my dvd, cable box and sound system but the instructions made this easy.
No regrets on this big purchase.
Excellent May 25, 2009
Excellent product. Quality video and audio. Cable,DVD,PC inputs work well along with outputs to an old stero system for theater effect. Being able to show family slide shows and videos from PC on a high quality screen is priceless.
One item to remember is that no matter how high the quality of your TV it does not improve the quality or content of the product sent by the cable company.
 Disappointing... May 21, 2009
I bought this TV on clearance. Thought I was getting a steal on an XBR. The reviews (including cNet and Amazon) were mostly positive and it seemed like a good set. Not so much. From the get go I noticed immediately that the picture seemed dull and dim. The backlight would seem to randomly dim and this problem was especially noticable during live sports. I did as much research as I could on this issue and realized that the panel has an ambient light dimming function. I disabled this feature in the settings, adjusted the picture to recommended settings and still was left with a less than satisfactory result.
Fortunately Best Buy has a 30 day return policy so I packed the set up and gave it back. I decided to spend a little more (the XBR went for 1399 when I purchased it) and got the new Samsung B750. Amazing... I have zero regrets! The difference in picture quality is amazing. I would think twice about purchasing the XBR6. There is a reason it is on clearance everywhere!

Consumer Reports Says: Buy HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
