Summary: So far, so very good
Comment: I was apprehensive about ordering such a large ticket item from Amazon (or any online company)but this has proven to be a very smooth and money-saving transaction. I ordered this tv (along with a blu ray player in a promotional deal) on Christmas night from Amazon. The shipping date I received was to be December 30 with an expected delivery of January 6. I received the Blu Ray on the 28th and the tv today about 4:00 PM, much sooner than expected.
The Amazon site when I placed the order didn't show White Glove delivery but the shipper's site did. The one delivery guy and I moved the TV off the truck, carried it across my yard and brought it into my living room; together we hooked it up - one HDMI cable from the cable box so that part was not too tough! It would have been, however, very difficult for one person (either the delivery guy or me) to have moved this tv into my house alone.
It would be handy if Amazon's site had showed a rear view of the set. I didn't think about this issue until almost the last minute; the tv's input and output panel are on the left side of the tv as you look at it from the front - the "s" side if you're looking at "Sony". If your cable box, etc are on the right side of the TV, as mine are, you may need a longer HDMI cable than you originally thought. (The inexpensive 6 footer I ordered through Amazon, which works great by the way, barely reaches.) I have ordered two of the ten footers to eliminate worries when I hook up the Blu Ray and other components.
The tv looks good in my living room (and will be much nicer when I get it mounted next week) and has been a pleasure to watch this afternoon and evening. The matte screen is great. Virtually no reflections and I have a bright living room. I have read other reviewers who have commented that this tv's screen is not as bright as the Samsung's - I found this to be true when comparing them side by side in Best Buy; however in my living room this tv is plenty bright without the reflection issue. The instruction booklet is thorough to say the least.

Summary: Great TV
Comment: This TV is everything they said it was. Terrific picture that depending on the show makes you feel like you could reach through the screen and touch it! Easy to set up and switch between add ons. I am 100% satisfied with this product.

Summary: White Glove, Waste of Time, Great TV.
Comment: I waited until this TV was in stock with Amazon.com rather than buy it through an Amazon Vendor. The reason being I wanted to take advantage of the White Glove Delivery. My advice to you is dont waste your time. if you are going to buy this TV then get it from the cheapest source which is most likely Amazon, however dont have to high expectations on White Glove delivery. I was originally told delivery would be before Christmas, however I had phone call Christmas Eve and was told delivery could be 12/27 at the earliest. When the guys showed up they took it out the box and plugged in the Power That was it. They were in the house 6 minutes. If you struggle with HDMI cables, Surround System etc you might want to consider Geek Squad or a local vendor for set up although it is vry easy .TV is Fantastic though and outways by far the poor attitude and actions of the delivery company.

Summary: Great TV from Sony!
Comment: This TV truly delivers - great picture, great looks, 120 Hz and a matte screen, which was an important factor in the decision. Looked at the Samsung 650 (screen was too glossy for our situation) and the Samsung 630, but the Sony was on sale and had just as good a picture, to my "subjective" eyes... Also gave serious consideration to the Sony 52" XBR6, but just couldn't justify spending the extra $600 - I bought a new Denon 2309 receiver with the money I saved! Very happy with the purchase!

Summary: No discount here
Comment: This TV is promoted as on sale. Thats not the case. You can buy cheaper elsewhere. Why are internet vendors doing this? TImes are hard and they try to spoof a fake discount.
