I'm considering the Sony KDL70R55A but I'm wondering about the "Simulated 3D"...Is that similiar to LG's 2D - 3D conversion feature? How good is it?

Sony's simulated 3d is the 2d to 3d conversion. The conversion is OK. It gives a little depth to what your watching on the TV. Obviously the REAL 3d works a whole lot better.

How would you compare the Sony KDL-XBR6 with the Samsung LN32A650? I'm not too crazy about Samsung's so-called Touch of Color Design (TM) for its bezel (amber/black), however. But I'd like to know which model should I buy for my daughter's birthday. She lives in an apartment in Chicago.Thanks.Len Bloom

Huh, I'd be curious how you adjusted it! I guess I've gotten used to it or something. I imagine I'd look heavily at the Sony equivalent now that there is one, but anyway a full year in I"m still very happy with my 6000 :-) (And as long as these LCD TVs apparently last, who knows when I'll need to replace it or my older Sony! I'd love a larger set for the living room, but SOMETHING would have to actually break first...)

Hey Oleg, I was just wondering if you might give me/us an update on the TV. I'm about to pull the trigger on the same model/size as the one you bought and just wanted to know how satisfied you are with your purchase. Also was wondering how well the 3D works, if you would be so kind. Thank You!

No 4K, only 1080 P 3D...This is Harman Kardon, not Sony or LG. If you invest in Harman, its for the sound , not for the 4K last week gadget. Its already have many features(airplay, bluetooth, YouTube...)4k can wait couple of week...

I own the panasonic 54 inch vt25 but just from looking at the store's display models, the sony is a superior tv. It displays less cross-talk, deeper blacks, and there is (to me) by far more pop in the 3d. what bothered me most about the samsung led 3dtvs is how the image feels very "wet" or extremely glossy when viewing 3d content. I didnt get that effect when viewing the sony led. Thats my two cents. cnet reviewed the tv and compares it to the sammy and panny in a brief article here http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20009377-1.html?tag=hotTopicsBody.1

I'd like to know how much power this display will draw in 3d. I have active 3d on a plasma and passive 3d on an lcd and the perceived difference is negligable . You can quote specs all you want but in the end your eye makes the call. The one thing both of my 3d sets have in common is they draw alot of wattage to display 3d content. If Sony fixes that they have given me a strong reason to purchase.

solong40, Yes. If you don't have a 3-D television, you'll still get a great 2-D picture. Thanks for your interest in Samsung Blu-Ray players. --Mr. S

I'm not impressed by the 3D on the tv. You need special powered glasses that have to sync with the TV. There's also image ghosting. My Inlaws have a cheap LG TV and the 3D is much better on that, they can use the glasses that come free at the movie theater and the quality of the 3D is much better than the Sony 3D.

I actually just bought the 8500 today, at my local Besy Buy. They had one brand new one left at the store (although they did say that they had about 30 left at the warehouse here in St. Loius). I was able to get it for $2950. The salesman said I basically paid their cost for the TV. Not sure really believe that... Anyhow, I must say, this is quite possibly the best picture I have ever seen on a TV. I was going to wait until the 3D 8000, however, after reading a bunch of reviews, and seeing the 3D 8000 at my local Ultimate Electronics, I decided to just go with the 8500.

Thanks Christopher! I didn't know that; I'll be cautious. You know- I'm especially not sure about this one because it doesn't specifically say "MHL 2.0". From what I've been reading, 2.0 introduces support for 3D (implying previous versions don't have it). I definitely want to be able to view my phone-derived 3D content on my TV. Hmmm.

Greetins..I dont own this set as of yet..but is considering it or Lg oled tv..however i do own the lg 55lm 9600 it is a a step below what you have now..but a great 3d tv... I used Disney Wow calibration disk and it work wonder.. I have dish network which i dont think matters.. so I suggest you try one of these calibration disk and you will see a big difference is picture quality..it gives a good setting for blacks and whites as well as other setting.. hope this helps

I first got the A3 108i model, which I liked very much, outputting to my (only) 1080i LG 37" TV. Recently, I got an open-box A35 from BB for $75! It looks actually quite a bit better, on the same TV! Here is my review of the LG TV (8000:1 contrast ratio, 5 ms speed, and XD picture enhancement). Even my SD Dish Satellite looks pretty darn good! You can follow that to my A3 review ($50-99 at places such as Newegg.com)--also up-converts, but not quite as well as the A35. http://www99.epinions.com/content_408499097220

I went ahead and got the PS3 for future blu-ray 3D and 3D gaming as opposed to the Samsung 3D blu-ray player even though that would have netted me the glasses/movie deal as I bought the ln46c750 at the same time. It's just too versatile especially since I have no other next gen gaming systems. Really there are less than 5 3D blu-ray movies right now, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Monsters vs. Aliens, Coraline? (not sure) are there even any others than that? My opinion is the versatility is worth the delay.

Yes indeed. 3D confirmed with my Panasonic 3D Plasma. No hands-on experience with the 4K part, though.

We have the 55 inch LG in 3d and we love it! Bought it in 2011 and it still works great. The 3D is nice to have but not too many good 3D movies out there. Buy it if you need a new flat screen.

Yep, it's 3D ready I bought a pair of active glasses, but have only used them just once. Unless you're big into 3D, I'd say don't bother. The TV itself is great. Probably the best electronics purchase I ever made. Still as sharp as the first day I turned it on 3 years ago.
