Re: OK, now I get it!

Hi,
I too bought one of the 50 in SXRD XBR1 sets. Its optical engine turned south on me and had to be replaced (yellow streaks in the picture). After the replacement, the set developed really bad pixellation -- as big as 1 inch squares sometimes, and on all inputs. The repair guy determined it was the new optical engine, but SONY said it was back ordered indefinitely. They replaced it with a new production 55A2000. Nice set, but before the problem the XBR1's picture was to die for. Can't say that about the newer set. The XBR1 was MUCH better than the newer set. I just don't get SONY anymore. With the new lineup of sets there isn't a 50- or 55-in SXRD XBR2 - you have to go up to a 60-in. What's that all about? IMO they also have way too many lines and models. 3LCD, SXRD, XBR, WEGA, Grand WEGA, Bravia, Qualia -- it never ends.
Cheers, Joe
