The Official Sony 2006 KDS-(XX)A2000 [NO PRICE TALK] SXRD Owner's Thread - Page 102

I'm hoping the A2000 will be less noticable and on fewer sets. If so, then that's a positive as the XBR1 are well known for being more noticable and more frequent.

So far we have one A2000 that has a faint color uniformity. Compare that the XBR1's record. So which do you think he should choose?

No, Sony over-corrected for the green blob, so now we have the red blob. Next year's SXRD will have the blue blob, and the year after we're back to the green blob.

To be honest, I am considering selling off a few spare, lesser used audio components that I have lying around and taking the proceeds for a 70" XBR2 (hopefully) available next month.

I realize that the color uniformity issues may persist with these sets as well, but I am holding out hope that the brighter bulb may mean a screen with less gain and possibly decreased SSE, which bothers me more than the reddish haze I see with the A2000.

This, given that the set has only been out for 3 weeks and also given the limited number of people that have reported their findings. Granted, there are a number of AVS'ers probably who have bought and are pleased but don't post here. These cases don't necessarily reflect that there isn't a problem with there sets - they may not notice the issues yet (or will ever). It's very subtle - jury is still out on the A2000 regarding this specific issue.

They could own the set for 5 years and never know or care if it can properly deinterlace 1080i, has color uniformity issues, doesn't do full screen on VGA, etc. AVS makes up a very very small percentage of the buying public Sony answers to and are by far the most discriminate viewers of their products.

The green blob isn't pickiness.....if you think it is then you are as clueless as the people you are talking about. This is a major defect in LCOS technology. And it looks like the A2000's are going down the same road as the XBR1.

As he was about to leave, I told him about the problem (along with the fact I would be getting the 2006 model in order to fix the problem.) Once told of it, he could see it easily. He said he never noticed it until I pointed it out.

Make of that what you will.
