Now ofcourse the tv is great many features im learning still. I purchased this from Amazon,,and I love it,, great service with the white glove delivery and also a great price and wow no sales tax. I mounted it n the wall and looks great,, great Sony product,,and quality,,non glare screen.beautiful hd pictures.I also hooked my computer screen into it to view the desktop and web pages.
All of Amazon's promised white glove delivery was executed by the delivery guys except for putting the TV on its pedestal. I placed the order on 10/29/2008 and the TV was delivered to my door on 11/05/2008. CEVA apparently does not authorize its deliverymen to do it.
The initial delivery estimate was 11/08/2008 by CEVA logistics. It isn't too hard so my wife and I finished that step in less than 5 minutes. Product Review:If you are looking to buy a Sony LCD larger than 40" for less than $2000 this is as good as it gets.The picture clarity is simply awesome (even with an HD antenna), with no motion blur and good enough speakers.
This was our first big purchase online but since it was sold by Amazon we went with it and are happy. It looks sleek and smartly designed with minimum waste of space.I picked Sony over Samsung because I liked it better after weeks of staring at LCDs in many stores. I picked the Z-series over XBR because I didn't feel the XBR was worth the extra money.Buying Experience Review:After shopping around we found the price on Amazon to be unbeatable.
FYI, we upgraded from a 27" CRT so this is our first LCD.I give it 5 stars on all accounts.
OK.signed in to Amazon Saturday and was greeted by a message raising price to $1,781.94. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE.
Busy on Sunday, signed in again Monday morning, price was LOWERED to $1708.58 at 8:10AM Local Time. Still had some questions and waited for customer service to open and OOPS.by 8:42AM price was RAISED to $1,797.94.
Looked at a Sony Bravia Z-Series (KDL-46Z4100/B) TV vs an XBR6 over the past few days. Spoke with customer service about this.well that's the way it is.
FRI Nov 7 2008: Placed both into my shopping cart and tried doing add'l research. The Z series was priced at $1,759.99, i.e very good price compared to CCity 2499.99.
FOR ME THIS PRICING MODEL ISN'T WORKING.
I almost purchased this TV, which would definitely have been too big for my cabinet. I am surprised that Amazon is not forthright about such an important fact. Amazon should provide the dimensions with & without the stand or ATLEAST should state that the dimensions are without the stand. This could be a big headache for most customers as many of us are trying to buy the largest TV our cabinets etc can accommodate.
Instead, I had to deal with FedEx Ground and their policies (no appointment--they will just tell you the day they are coming) and do all the other things that it looked like would be taken care of by the Amazon delivery company. As it turns out, I did not get the white glove delivery. FedEx did bring the TV inside. The TV arrived yesterday and so far, it has been great.A key component to my decision to buy through Amazon was the white glove delivery for large TVs. When I saw the Vanns reference while I was placing the order, I looked all over the Amazon site and did not find that ordering through another supplier meant another type of delivery or that I had any choice about who actually filled the order or what that would mean delivery-wise. The Vanns customer service person told me that sometimes they ship by Yellow Freight. But, in my case, Amazon had my order filled by Vanns. I don't know how far Yellow Freight will take it from their truck (whether they leave it on the street and I have to take it the rest of the way).
