Liverpool, only DRC equipped Sonys suffer from SBs. In fact the new range of DRC sets do not have this problem. This is 100% mate as i have an FQ80 (which is going back).

how much are you spending on it?

regarding focus, i didn't know my FQ75 had focus problems until i found this forum. I think thats a bad thing as i was quite happy, in fact the SBs where not that bad. I sometimes think people make a lot more out of them than they really are. 2 Bars of light scrolling very slowly through the image. To be fair thohad it worse than others.

The focus on my FQ80 is bad at the sides and now that i have looked, the geometry is terrible THOUGH it was shipped via muppet link to Northern Ireland and the one before that arrived upside down, so i can only guess what happened to this one.

hi astonbilla i was hopeing you would reply as you know about sony. from empire it costs £915.48 so have you seen the ls60 if so what do you think of it.

astonbilla · 17-10-2002, 1:05 PM

i haven't seen it mate, only the high end DRC stuff. Its cheaper at unbeatable by the way.

What about the JVC??, no joy - or how about a philips 9617. I know that a few people have said bad things about them, that they are grainy or soft etc. However, it has had so many rave reviews and the one i saw in Currys running LOTR on a dodgy DVD player was superb. It was so clear the actors looked like they were in a studio.

If you could live with the SBs, you could get a cheap DX100, FQ75, FS70 or better yet (if the price drops) the amazing NX100.

Dont forget Loewe, they are true class matey

astonbilla no i couldn`t live with s/b & the famly did not like the look of the loewe so that is a no no. i saw this sony in dixsons last night. it looks a nice set & i have looked on this forum & have not seen a bad word said about it.so when i go to look at it i will look at the philips but i need to get the right tv this time after all the messing about i`ve had & like you said afew people have had problems with the philips.how come you have gone to philips.

Liverpool,

Do a search for "Sony KV28LS60" and you will find my review.

I have this TV and am very satisfied, as are many others on the forum.

No scrolling bars either.

hi squirrel god i have done that i just want to know if this tv had any problems. as they are a bit old & it gives people who have just got this tv to tell me if they have had any problems.that weren`t posted on the other threads. but thanks anyway.

Only "hidden feature" appears to be with Pioneer DVD players. People are reporting that bright colours appear to flash (much like watching a 50Hz TV I guess) with these brands of player when connected to an LS60. Hope that's helpful

-Jay- · 17-10-2002, 3:31 PM

s/god do you have sky digi if so what is it like on this tv.

17-10-2002, 3:33 PM

I don't have Sky Digital, but have digital terrestrial connected via RGB. Looks gorgeous. No problems with the footie etc.

-Jay- · 17-10-2002, 3:37 PM

that is good as most of my viewing is on sky & i do watch loads of football.

Liverpool, i went for the Philips because (in magazine terms at least) it has the best picture available.

Also, picture quality always seems better on lower range tvs to me. I think its because less digital processing is used. More detail usually leads to more grain etc and noise reduction only seems to make images soft.

May the ls is a good choice then mate, but just because it doesn't get slated on these forums deosn't mean its good or bad. It may just be a sign of it not being as popular as other sets. I hope you finally get sorted though mate, you have my sympathy

I agree totally. Just to clarify for Liverpool, the LS60 is a plain 100Hz model, no extraneous digital processing. Noise reduction does indeed make the images soft on the LS60, but only on non-RGB feeds (I turn it off all the time as I don't like it).

This is true, however many members have actually said on several threads that they are delighted with their LS60

At the end of the day, Liverpool, you have to decide for yourself by getting a demo of all the TVs on your shortlist and not just by going by the advice on the forum. It's you that's going to be watching it after all and we all have different preferences

Good luck

ive had the ls60 for a couple of weeks and im more than happy with it.....even the mrs likes it.....
