My First Sony - My Last CRT.......2006-03-22

For Christmas, I did the unthinkable (and irresponsible): I purchased a new Sony 34XBR960. The TV is being moved out of production and it's hard to find anywhere on the market nowadays. I felt the need to jump on this monitor before it went the way of all CRTs. The cathode ray tube is being replaced by the inferior technology of plasma and LCD (although, to be fair, this quality gap is narrowing with each passing generation). I visited a local electronics store and sampled a few TVs with my attention piqued by two Sony's: a 55" Sony LCD Projection and this 34" Sony CRT.

55 inches is extremely large, especially considering my relatively small viewing space. It required a good ten feet of clearance before the screen door effect was eliminated. Since I knew my couch is a mere eight feet from the television, I felt this could be detrimental to my viewing pleasure. It also was not able to achieve 1920x1080 resolution, something I felt would be irritating since I intended to have this TV for years (and HDTV is becoming more mainstream each day).

But the real distinction was in my testing of the two monitors. I brought my brother's XBox 360 in to hook up and watch the results (the sales reps were extremely helpful). Playing the 360 on the 55" LCD was an astonishing display--beautiful, crisp details and a completely immersive experience. I then swapped it out for a copy of "Batman Begins" and my heart sank. The bats flying in the opening credits were a blur of LCD splotches, an ugly mess if you ask me. I will be the first to admit that since DVD puts out a maximum of 480p, a higher-resolution DVD may look vastly superior. But everything considered, the size and relatively new LCD technology left me a bit cold.

The 34XBR960, on the other hand, not only handled the XBox 360 well, but made "Batman Begins" look rich in detail, color, and clarity. The blacks were simply astonishing--something LCDs have yet to replicate. And being a fan of both B&W and film noir motion pictures, blacks were an essential for me. It became clear that the XBR960 was my choice--in spite of the relatively small size given the price (it cost the same as the 55 incher).

Picture: Hands down the best CRT I've ever seen. There are the two dark fine lines which only become apparent during white outs (such as the opening "death" credit of "Six Feet Under"), common in Trinitron displays. There also appears to be some focus issues near the corners, although this is quite possibly due to the camera lens instead of the TV. I have not done any testing to ensure which is the case, since it doesn't bother me (I'm leaning to camera lens distortion since it doesn't seem to affect video games).

As mentioned previously, it entirely matters upon the input source. Crap in, crap out. DVDs look fine and, thanks to Comcast's HDTV DVR which upscales the 480i signal to 480p, even most standard programs are watchable. That said, once you view 720p or 1080i with this TV (which purportedly only supports 1080i and upsamples 720p), you will have a hard time reverting back to the standard definition programs. I hooked up a standard rabbit-ear antenna and my TV found all the HDTV stations in my area. Nice, although it takes a good long time to scan for all channels--the TV says it can take up to 50 minutes to do this, though it was much shorter for my 20 channels.

There are a couple problems which may or may not be limited to my experience--ghosting in high-contrast motion areas and an overly bevelled TV frame, which becomes a problem when lit from an overhead light (causing a slight shadow to be cast onto the screen). These are minor problems which rarely detract from the viewing experience.

Sound: Let's face it--you'll never get good sound from a TV monitor, no matter how good it is. If you are going to invest in an expensive monitor, drop some money down on a good surround sound system as well.

The weight of the TV has been an issue for many, although I did not find this to be the case (maybe since my brother's TV is a good 150 lbs more). Its 200 lbs is hefty, and since it is a CRT, the depth of the TV is approximately 32"--not quite as friendly as flat panel LCDs or plasmas (or even projections, for that matter). However, a friend and I were able to lift the TV onto our stand without much trouble. Sony was also nice enough to create a box which folds away from the TV instead of having to lift the TV from the box.

It has been a few months of watching the XBR960 with nary a problem. I am still to this day awed by some of the pictures this TV produces. I hope to have this thing for a long time. Here's hoping it lasts!

The TV is great (when works).......2006-01-22

I made a deep investigation about what TV I had to buy. Finally I choose this one: Sony Tube 34" XBR960. The image was great, but five months later I had a little problem with the image. Sony's service show me how bad could be a customer service.
Nobady at Sony knows how resolve the little problem. Do it a favour to your own: buy other brand.

Finest picture quality of any other CRT, LCD, or Plasma on the market........2006-01-15

Equipment I Have
Sony KD-34XBR960N 34" Widescreen HDTV (HR10-250 connected)
DirecTV HR10-250 Receiver
2 DirecTV R10 Receivers
Sony RDR HX715 DVD Recorder
Terk 3-LNB HD Satellite Dish
Sony 27" Standard Definition TV
Sony 13" Standard Definition TV

Praise and Info
If you do a web search, many online retailers will drop the letter `N' at the end of the model number (Sony KD-34XBR960).

Like most everyone else who has purchased this Sony TV, I agree that it offers the FINEST picture quality of any other CRT, LCD, or Plasma on the market. To get better quality than this you would have to upgrade to a high-end and very expensive projection TV system.

Standard definition and high definition broadcasts are both flawless. High definition is of course superior. Sound quality is also excellent, even without external speakers. If you're a TV video quality "Hitler" or "Mussolini" (fanatic) like I am, you insist on the most perfect picture quality possible. I have had Sony TVs since the 1980s, and the 960 required the least amount of adjustment and calibration. Some may not even need to make any adjustments, since the out-of-box picture quality is practically perfect. It depends on how discerning you are.

Even though it is not required, I would highly recommend The AVIA Guide to Home Theater DVD. It is much easier to use than the Video Essentials DVD. This will ensure that you have the best audio and video settings.

Even though resetting the service mode settings is often discouraged (for good reason), I tweaked the service mode settings to correct overscanning and to eliminate the slight push of the color green.

Changing the service mode settings can mess things up for you if you don't know what you're doing. Do some reading first and use caution.

After tweaking the TV, the picture is flawless. The white and black levels are the best I've ever seen. Even the most highly-degraded VHS tape looks better with the 960.

Criticisms
Quite a few people have had both serious and small problems with this model of Sony TV. I have had it for over a month now and I have had no problems. I did purchase the in-home extended warranty just in case.

Suggestions
An additional HDMI input would be much better. One HDMI for the HD satellite receiver, and another for the DVD Recorder. Component input for the DVD is fine, but HDMI would be better.

A CableCard slot that supports a DirecTV access card would be great. Then Sony would have to include a satellite cable input. DirecTV probably will not allow this for some time.

The TwinView (Picture-in-Picture) and Scrolling Channel Menu should be able to use the component and HDMI inputs simultaneously.

Hints

Color Axis
Everyone says to switch the Color Axis from Default to Monitor. For the most part I prefer the Default setting, which doesn't push as much red as you might think. For HD programming though, the picture is better on the Monitor setting.

In-Home Delivery
Unless you are strong and have at least two other strong friends, definitely plan on getting in-home delivery or free in-home delivery for this TV, which is at least 200 pounds. The two guys from the local freight delivery service had to use a maximum amount of effort to get it from their truck onto the Sony stand in my bedroom.

Extended Warranty
The extended warranty with in-home service is recommended, especially for a 200-pound TV. I paid for the 4-Year Extended Warranty. In four years I'll probably be buying a new Sony TV anyway, assuming Sony comes up with a TV better than the 960 in 4-5 years.

Sony Matching Stand
The Sony SU-34XBR1 matching TV stand is also recommended. Make sure you order this first BEFORE you order the TV. It comes unassembled, but assembly was actually quite easy. It is very strong and it perfectly meshes with the Sony 960. I purchased it online, then I ordered the TV the same day I received the stand. This way I would be sure that the stand would be assembled in plenty of time before the arrival of the TV.

Dickison: this is for you.......2005-11-09

I am trying to buy the Sony KD-34XBR960N, notice the N. First, Amazon had it and I put it in my cart, but it disappeared, and now Amazon says buy it from Crutchfield at $1,899.00 the same price Sony sells it for. However Richard, the N signifies a problem Sony had with the glare shield behind the glass. It apparently accumulated dust and degraded viewing, so they removed it and added something else, maybe directly on the tube to reduce glare. Something to think about. Wonder if Crutchfield is selling the older version. If you are thinking about buying this terrific TV you might want to consider making sure the model number has an N on the end. Ridhard bought it for $1755, not state tax, and free shipping. Where did he buy it from, I'd like to know. I am leery of purchasing from those guys in Brooklyn, or N.Y., but maybe it will be okay. Who knows?

This TV does not output 1080p OR even 720p........2005-09-07

The top reviewer is incorrect. The best signal this TV does is CONVERTs 720p stations to 1080i. it still has the best picture around, though.

Get one while you can! PQ 2 year warranty Firewire this TV is the reference standard for others to follow!.......2006-03-31

After reading many reviews at the AVS CRT forums I decided to buy this TV. It has been discontinued and the replacment model XBR 970 does not have the super fine picture tube, or fire wire.

I was blown away when I saw it on the show room floor. One thing I noticed is they usally keep the CRTs away from the expensive high end Plasma and LCD TVs. After you see this TV you will know why. The PQ from this 34" CRT is simply breath taking. HD content is stunning! The fact that it comes with a Two Year Parts and Labor IN HOME WARRANTY really makes this TV a real bargin.

One really nice feature is the built in iLink port aka 4-pin firewire. With this port you are able to hook the TV to your Mac and record Digital and HD content. Search for VirtualDVHS for more info. You will need to get a 4pin/6pin firewire cable and some free software from Apple SDK. I have not done this yet as I am waiting for my firewire cable but I am looking forward to playing back HD movie trailers From my Intel Imac to this TV.

The only negative is it is Heavy! You will need at least two people to move it. Not a big deal really, when I think back how many times I needed to move my CRT TVs around in the last 20 years. For me it is a non issue. If your the type of person that moves every 6 months, you may want to reconsider.

My last Sony XBR TV went 18 years with out a single issue. I Hope the KD34XBR960N will last me a long time. Since this TV is dicontinued there are some incredible bargins to be had so don't wait too long as this is trully one of the really great TVs out there and they are becoming scarce.

After reviewing and deciding to buy this unit, I was satisfied with the performance until 13 months after buying....wont turn on out of standby. The problem is, it is cheaper to buy a replacement than get fixed based on labor and parts. However, my next unit will not be a JVC as the timing at one month out of warranty is not a good sign.

Customer Reviews:

Easiest Burner Ever.......2002-03-06

The only way to describe this burner is easy. The installation is relativly easy for anyone, and the HP software included with the drive makes burning CD's as simple as two clicks of the mouse. But outside of the easy use for beginners, the drive is incredibly fast, and hasn't burnt a single coaster in the 6 months i've had it. That includes using generic, none labeled disks i found on clearance without a problem. The software that comes packaged (outside of the actual HP Software) is also great. A great burner for a great price.

Good Buy and performs up to expectations.

This unit is marvelous!! It burns CDs in less than 5 minutes.......... It comes with excelent burning software(Easy Cd creator 4 , Hp Cd Writer and more...) The best CD-R/RW unit is HP

SWEET!.......2001-06-15

I've long considered HP drives to be better than Plextor when it comes to bundled extras, and fairly close in terms of performance. The 9710i is "Exhibit A" for my case. I have had no buffer problems with this drive, even on disc-to-disc copies on the same IDE cable, and (unlike a few similar products) the drive does not whirr and shake when operating at high speeds. System requirements are a little steep, but if your computer shipped with Windows ME or 2000 on it, then you can probably handle it.

The software seals the deal: you get HP's MyCD, which is so simple that even a toddler can copy a CD with it, and the familiar Adaptec packages for more customization. Additionally, you get MusicMatch, some audio editing stuff, a good backup program, and one of those CD labeler thingies which I'll get around to playing with one of these days.

The price is right, the quality is high, and it's twice as fast as most burners on the market. You want this.
