Hello, I have a credit I can use to purchase a new TV from the Sony Store (Only the Sony Store). I called around to the two in my area (Edmonton) and the only available units in my price range are Demo Models. The new Sony's are apparently going to start trickling in late February through...

  Hello   Hope I'm in the right spot (Its my first time be gentle with me ;-)  I have a problem with my TV / receiver / Bell HDTV box. When the TV is on the picture and sound is good, then the screen turns black and up in the top left side of the screen is HBMI 1 , sound stays on when it...

 I'm very close to finally pulling the trigger on my upgrade. I've got the selections narrowed down to these two TV's. After reading countless posts from both owner threads and reading the professional reviews for both through various major websites, I seem to be more confused than I was 2 days...

 New to the forum here, although I've lurked for the past month or so trying to learn. I'm in the market for a 70" that will be put in a room with lots of lighting that will be on most of the time, creating a lot of glare on the screen. I currently have a 50" plasma that reflects the light like...

Edit: Problem solved.

Edit: Resolved

Hi, I just got a Sony 70R550A LCD TV - replaced a 55" Sony SXRD rear projection. Try as I might, I cannot eliminate the motion judder. I primarily use it to watch sports. I am for sure going to return this TV, cause I never saw this motion judder or distortion on my old TV. Can the readers...

 Hi everyone,   My first post and I'll say I'm not an expert at all with TVs. I just want a big TV that is 70 inches.   What is most important to me is picture quality and price. I would like to stay under $2250   BB has the sony at $2200 cdn and the sharp at $2000   I don't actually...

Hi All, I have just upgraded my home theater system to the Sony KDL-70R550A television, HT-CT260H Soundbar, and BDP-S5100 Blu-Ray player. I am very new to utilizing 3D, so I wanted to turn to the experts here for assistance, as you have been remarkably helpful in the past. The current plan is...

1. Budget $3500 max, but would love to stay under that 2. Seating distance I somewhat have a unlimited seating distance. Room is 30 feet long. Currently sitting roughly 12-13 feet back now from my Mitsu 73 inch 3. Size/placement limitations no limitations. Plan on hanging this on my custom tv...

 My friend has a Sony 55 inch 3D HDTV with active glasses, he showed me some 3D converted content and it looks great, it pops out and the best 3D content makes the screen look like a window and no longer a monitor. He also has some color settings that make movies look like they were filmed with...

Hi everyone.. I bought a Sony KDL-70R55A, and am quite happy so far.. One thing is driving me nuts however.. When using my PC AMD HDMI as the source the TV's picture settings are all greyed out and locked in what's called graphics mode. Custom and the other modes are not available in this...

Hi members I need help. I have bought a new KDL-70R550A TV and I have a Denon AVR-591 amp. I am having a problem getting the volume from the Denon to show up on the Sony KDL. Currently I have My DISH, PS3 and PC HDMI cable input-ed in to the Denon and 1 HDMI cable output to the HDMI 1 ARC. I...

 Slowly piecing together my home theater for my house, started looking at 58s, now I find myself looking at 65 and 70 inch TVs. I picked up a Pioneer Elite SC-63 receiver from a local Best Buy for $425 which is an incredible deal, was thinking about going back Sunday and seeing if I can get the...

All, I am picking out a TV for my dad. I have narrowed it down to 6 (3 at 240hz and 3 at 120hz) Any thoughts on the below would be greatly appreciated. 240HZ Vizio M701d-A3R (~$2200) Samsung UN65F7100 (~$2300) Sharp LC-70LE757 (~$2300) 120HZ Sharp LC-70LE650U (~$2000) Sony KDL70R550A...

Hey everyone, after being a plasma fan for the better part of the decade, I've decided it's time to switch. I've owned three highly-reviewed Panasonic plasmas in the past year and and all of them have had issues for me that were just too much to handle (line bleed, banding, dithering, buzzing...

If one had to chose between the Sony KDL-70550A vs SAMSUNG UN75F6300AF vs the Samsung UN65F7050AF, what would you chose and why? Im leaning towards the Sony but its the one I cant seem to find locally in my area to check out. 2.5 or less Prefer passive 3d but 3d not necessarily needed. If...

Hello, just got the KDL-70R550A last night and although my previous (non 3d) was mounted higher on wall, I kind of like the 70 set just on its stand. Based on the reflection of my head on the TV in the pic is this going to be okay to get desired effects of 3D viewing or in your opinion should I...

I don't know if I should post this here or just jump into the official R550A thread, but this seems safer for now... A few days ago I bought a KDL-70R550A from Costco and I need some help understanding exactly how the frame dimming feature works (or whatever it's called officially by Sony)...
