If you can tilt your wall-mount, then do as Imrizzo suggested.
I have a fixed flat wall-mount and always hang a TV so the center of the screen is at eye-level.

I was in our local ABC Warehouse Sunday and we were talking about the 850 and I mentioned they were out of that model. Salesman said I'm pretty sure we have them in stock and he came back and told me he has 2 in back.

Good one. I'm the same way when I got up at 5 am this morning I checked the status of my order...hurry up already smile.gif

This TV is so worth the wait for anyone into serious movie watching and 3D (just remember to get the PS3 glasses that already have the polarizing filters built in). Pop in Skyfall in Cinema 2 mode to see pure bliss immediately. Afterwards you can then tinker with settings but Skyfall is stunning on bluray.

Thanks cmay I'll get Skyfall when I pickup the tv. I have a few 3D glasses already. A couple pairs that came with my VW90ES pj and a couple pairs of Optoma same as the Monster glasses. Maybe I should get a few pairs of the PS3 glasses. I'll see if my local BB has them. Anticipation...

It is worth the wait, but why wait is the question ?

I've been checking order status hourly. Not shipped yet. I'm having mine shipped to the store. Hopefully the box will slide in the back of my vehicle without laying flat.

The forces of nature are conspiring against me. I was supposed to get mine on Monday but a blizzard must have delayed it somewhere. I’m also clicking my tracking info hourly.

55" That's all I can fit with my current setup. Ceiling mounted. Over my 3 Towers across the front.

That will probably fit in most larger cars and up.

I still have my box for my XBR-55HX950 and the measurements are:
34/3/8 X 66/1/2 I measured it just for you... smile.gif

Love the TV and being a lurker here trying to learn settings and in a few months have the TV calibrated. I'm running a Sony STR-DA5400ES along with DT Mythos STS speakers up front. Produces great sound but looking at the STR-DA5800ES or Yamaha RX-3020. I would like to stay Sony so it's easier with remotes; one button does all or makes things easier.

I'll take a look at that, it has 3D pass through which I lack now.

Thanks!!

I should have added in a worst case you will have to take it out of the box. Prop it up against the back seat if you are bringing a car. A Van or truck will do a better/easier job.......

The good thing is, unlike the 65" the stand is not mounted, and an SUV /van or truck ( as noted by Chris) would be the veh of choice

I would have thought that in case you did have to take it out of the box and prop it up per Cleveland Plasma's suggestion, having the stand mounted already would actually make it easier to transport upright as all you would need to do is secure it from sliding and cushion the front and back, where as without the stand, you would need to worry about it tipping over more so than without the stand.

Personally I would (if you put it in the back seat) put it upside down, so as not to stress the stand during transport (rocking may weaken the integrity of the stand mountings). Again that is my personal opinion and I would suggest the use of bed pillows as a buffer.

Didn't think of that in regards to excess stress on the stand.

I'd just try to avoid transporting in a car altogether and borrow or rent if you had to an SUV or van to ensure the box can be upright during transportation.

Does anyone have a Darbee Darblet hooked up to their HX950?

If so, what major improvements do you see?

I have been contemplating getting one of those, but spoke to someone who ordered it for use with his plasma and wasn't that impressed with it's results ?? I may try getting one from Amazon so I can return it if necessary with no hassle.
