I guess this is due to diffraction in the NX810's surface. I wonder if it is related to the 3-D capability?


Would you be so kind as to take another picture, setup the exact same way, but with the TV on?

Thanks!

Can the SONY logo, that lights up, when the TV is on, be turned off? I downloaded the manual for this set, but only the most basic features are covered in it.

Thanks!

Thanks everyone for your input on the installation cost. Uhm.. maybe I will just mount the TV myself. Just ordered the Omnimount, so I'll see how easy it is to get the TV onto the mount that is already secured onto the wall.

@AVSBurger. Wow. It was selling for $3300! That's a little less than what most people are paying with the 20% off when you buy 4 additional accessories.

I called Sony this morning desperate to try and get the deal again and she told me: "Sorry sir. Its a known bug on the store. It was showing that price but when you get to checkout, the total jumped back up to $4700 after tax. People were calling in asking what was wrong. It never should have said $3300".

Arrhgh.

Okay however - where can I get this TV for a little more than $3300 with 4 accessories?

Just call SonyStyle. Not sure if the promo is still going on. But it should be. You might need to call back more than once and talk to different sales rep. But it's suppose to be buy 5 accessories. But you might be able to get away with 4 cuz the TV counts as 5th item in cart. Still a decent deal.

Man!!! They made you buy 5 HDMI cables! What are you going to do with those? LOL

I called Sonystyle and the lady confidently assured me they are not offering that special anymore. Now they're offering a super amazing deal that results in a $4,600 price tag.

I told her that was nearly a thousand more than the last offer they had only a week ago. She basically said "deal with it".

The current bundle with the 60" is an "Alice in Wonderland Bundle" - basically its the 3D accessories with Alice in wonderland items.

Yawn.

The only disappointment in the price was the sales tax I had to pay because Sony has a Sony Style Store in Arizona.

Do any of you 55NX810 owners have a problem with the stand that comes with the tv? I noticed that the tv does not stay horizontal. It might be about a 1/2" lower on the right side than the left. I have taken the tv down, removed the bracket, reinstalled the bracket, made sure that it was mounted on the base correctly. Nothing seems to make it look level. Do any of you have that problem?

my 60" NX810 does not have that problem
It is perfectly level
the stand does have a lean forward though- I suspect that is by design

Sounds like you might have a warranty issue chip! Im sure they'll swap the stand for you.

I finally purchased my 60NX810 yesterday. Id previously purchased the LX700 (?) - the non 3D model - and it was horrendously inferior. Really noticeable to me and everyone in my household. I got the alice in wonderland bundle which comes with the two 3D glasses, the 3d Blu Ray player, and a stuffed cheshire cat (kidding). $4600. Highway robbery. Oh well.

How bad are the reflections?

Do these tv's auto-dim when the image is mostly black (like the Samsung edge-lit tv's)?

Any gamers able to test the input lag yet?

I'm considering the 60NX810.

What is the dimensions of the base?, i.e the stand the 60" TV is on?. My 60nx810 is being delivered tommorow and I need a stand .. The dimesions from the specs tell me 12"x21", sony tech support tells me 15X21. I don't mind overlap(of the screen off the stand). Prices range significantly, and so I'm looking at a 20x40 inch stand from target as opposed to 500.00 stands that are 60x24 or whatever. Either way can anyone confirm the dimensions 12 inches depth, and 21 and 5/8 wide.

The 3d kit has an emitter, 2 pair opf 3d glasses and some crappy movie, and I got installtion. It's the way they bundle it. Same deal.. different bundle.

It's the way they bundle it, mine came to 4500.00 w/ NYS tax, no bluray player but sony installation instead. It's just the way they bundle it keeps changing but the price stays teh same. I couldn't come near that price at the local stores or BB, etc. Next option was DELL but still works out to the same $$

Any more thoughts for the owner's of these? I'm considering the 46"810 or HX909. I know the 909 is supposed to have the best picture quality but am wondering how much of a difference there is.

The HX909, LX900, and NX810 (in 60") all have fantastic black levels. I've owned the NX810 for about 2 weeks now and with normal content I've never noticed ghosting or other black level issues. Now I'm sure if I put some "special" content on the screen I'd be able to scream that I have issues but with the movies and TV viewing so far, it's fantastic. I've even turned the dynamic edge lighting control on and off and view content and I'm unable to tell the difference. That said, if I could have bought a 60" HX909 that's what I would have bought.

Also, the black levels dimish very quickly as you move off axis. On axis the blacks are stunning. just 5 degrees off axis and they start to drop, and at 30 degrees off, they are bad. Viewed on axis the black bars on the screen disappear. Viewed 30 degrees off axis and they are dark grey.

I would post pics but the fallout from how high it is mounted on my wall would be unbearable.

To you or the readers? If about you, I wouldn't worry. You can only do what you can with the space you have.

More from the other readers. Typical above fireplace install but had to go about 6 inches higher because of the center channel. Looks fine and seating is far enough way to not cause sore necks

Show us! Don't let a few bad apples ruin it for us true fans. Also give us any other observations.

How about pictures with the lights off with nice blu-ray screen cap?

Joe,
So would the best Sony 60" be the NX or LX ?
