Sony Bravia XBR KDL-55XBR8 55-Inch 1080p 120Hz Triluminos LED LCD HDTV

The Sony BRAVIA XBR8-Series HDTVs represent the next step forward for Sony HDTV technology. Underpinning this advance is the TRILUMINOS RGB Dynamic LED backlight, which utilizes clusters of red, green, and blue LEDs to produce accurate colors and an amazingly realistic image, and employs local dimming to dynamically adjust the brightness of LED clusters, allowing the XBR8 to display deep blacks alongside bright whites for enhanced image depth and exceptional shadow detail. Motionflow 120Hz PRO technology creates new frames to double the frame rate, then uses sequential scanning to enhance motion and deliver a smoother and clearer picture, and 24p True Cinema lets you experience a cinema-like experience. BRAVIA XBR8-Series HDTVs also feature the powerful BRAVIA Engine 2 PRO fully digital video processor, which creates sharp, crystal-clear images at any resolution, as well as advanced color reproduction technologies including 10-bit processing and a 10-bit panel, Live Color Creation, and x.v.Color capability. DMex functionality lets you expand the capabilities of the BRAVIA XBR8-Series with optional BRAVIA Link modules, including the BRAVIA Internet Video Link, BRAVIA Wireless Link, BRAVIA DVD Link, and BRAVIA Input Link (all sold separately). In addition, the exclusive Xross Media Bar (XMB) user interface, integrated TV Guide Interactive Program Guide, and BRAVIA Sync one-touch component control make the BRAVIA XBR8-Series HDTVs easy to use, and the large number of inputs offer you a wide range of connectivity options. BRAVIA XBR8-Series HDTVs also feature an RS-232C connection for integration into home automation systems. You can even customize the timeless design of the BRAVIA XBR8-Series by adding optional speaker grilles available in a selection of designer colors (sold separately).
Customer Review: Brilliant, but at a cost!
Not really sure if it was worth all that money, but the picture is brilliant. With my PS3 playing Bluray, this TV is the best! Am absolutely satisfied. The only thing I saw was, it took sometime (couple of seconds) to change inputs. Not sure if it was due to my Denon receiver or the TV itself. Sometimes it is a bit annoying, and also when we switch the inputs, the top information about the signal selection stays for a few seconds which I felt was again a bit annoying.
Customer Review: Wait before you buy.
I bought this TV more than a week ago. Here are my reviews: Pros: Picture quality: BD-excellent, regular DVD-very good, regular TV programming-average. Sound quality: very good. Remote Control: looks good and easy to operate. Setup: relatively easy. Cons: It takes at least half an hour to perform Auto Channel Search, just like the manual says. The manual also indicates that it takes more than 24 hours to complete the onscreen TV guide setup. So far it has been more than a week, but the status info still shows "In Progress", or no TV guide yet! Price: still way too high, even though it has dropped from $6,999 to $5,999. Wait until further price drop if you can!

Panamax M5300-PM 11-Outlet Home Theater Power Conditioner

Improves picture and sound quality. Level 4 Power Cleaning and Filtration eliminates common symptoms of contaminated power (including loss of detail, pops, hisses, hums and visual artifacts) and allows your A/V equipment to perform up to its full capability. Monitors incoming line voltage and provides a visual indication of power level. Panamax¿s patent pending AVM circuitry continuously monitors the incoming power as displayed on the digital voltmeter. In case of an under-voltage or an overvoltage, a flashing red lightning bolt will be displayed in the voltmeter, and power to the connected equipment is automatically turned off if either of these conditions is detected. When voltage returns to a safe level, power to the equipment is automatically reconnected. Reduces cross-contamination between components. The M5300-PM is designed to provide noise isolation between 5 isolated outlet banks (including 1 bank with 2 high current outlets) so that any noise created by an A/V component cannot contaminate the power going to equipment plugged into another outlet bank.
Customer Review: panamax M5300-PM
This unit does everything what Panamax said it would do. I spent alot of time shopping for this type of unit and after what I was told about Panamax and what I seen of it, this was the one for me. The first thing I noticed was how much better the picture quality improved. Some years back I bought Monster's model HTS 3600 and paid $499 for it. It looks like junk compared to this unit. I highly recommend the Panamax M5300-PM.
Customer Review: Equipment Protector
I originally saw this product in Sound Advice for over $500. It is such a great product that truly cleans up the power and signal for your high end entertainment system. I thought with that price I would not purchase it until I saw it on Amazon. Then when I saw the price I purchased it right away. This product does all that it says and makes me feel confident that my equipment is protected at all times. Amazon is the way to purchase electronics when everyone else's prices won't budge.
