NYC Borough - Only 2 reliable local Channels
on September 16, 2016
Posted by: PaddleFaster
Received the antenna and installed it convinced that we wouldt get all of the NYC local channels, being the location is within 15 to 20 miles of all local channel broadcasting. The antenna was set up near a window, on the first floor of a fully detached home that is in a pretty open area for the city. After doing a channel search , 18 channels were listed, but only two of the major local channels --channels 2 and 4 -- were reliable and in any way watchable. Very disappointed in the product and am considering a return for refund.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

After a month of reading and rereading reviews online and doing due diligence at sites such as rtings.com, I walked into my local Best Buy with my mind made up that I was going to buy a TV in the $2000 price range; probably the Samsung 8000 series. Possibly the Sony 850D...
What I didn't expect to happen, was my attraction to a bargain priced TV that had me repeatedly, time and time again, coming back to try to figure out what was the heck was wrong with it, because the price was so darn reasonable compared to all the others.
That TV was the XBR65X750D.
First off, among a sea of mirror-like screens that reflected every image in front of them in full detail, the 750D's semi-matte screen stood out as being far more comfortable to watch than the TVs with the high gloss screens.
Also, the semi-matte screen appeared to make the colors look more natural, as opposed to being at times, synthetic looking.
Yes, very vibrant color is nice to look at in still photos sometimes. But when watching TV, seeing things appear as they naturally look in real life is something that appeals to me a lot more. For me personally, the 750D seemed to offer very natural looking colors in it's picture.
I could go on for a few paragraphs about reasons the other TVs I was planning to buy, just didn't seem to warrant a higher price as compared to the 750D, but in all honesty, the best way for me say it is this...
Taking price out of the equation and simply judging things based on my personal tastes and preferences, I honestly liked the 750D better than anything else that I saw on display at Best Buy and that is why I purchased it.
I feel that for the price I paid, I purchased a TV that was a genuine bargain. With the 750D going on sale for an additional $100 off for a holiday sale and being that I just bought the TV a few days ago,I was able to go to the store today and get that money applied back to my card.
So in my mind, a great bargain has now become a point blank, honest to goodness, can't beat it, kind of deal!
The videophiles of the world, controlled-conditions review site contributors, and video forum experts, will undoubtedly present a hundred technological reasons while the 750D just isn't as good as other similarly priced, or more expensive TVs.
But when it comes right down to it, if you're an every day kind of person that logically approaches things based on your own observations and your own personal judgement... I personally feel that the Sony XBRX750D is a TV that you would probably end up thoroughly enjoying in your home.
Not to mention the fact that based on the money saved when purchasing it basically means that not only would you get a great TV, but a lifetime of free popcorn, or a few years of free beer for Monday Night Football.
4.75 Stars based on what you get. (nothing is ever perfect)
5.25 Stars for what you pay to get it.
5.25 Stars for what you pay to get it.
That's a 5 star average overall and that's the personal score I give the Sony XBR65X750D taking everything into consideration...

Side note: Sosa, the representative that took care of me at the Best Buy in Staten Island, NY is a Best Buy TV department rock star. His easy going demeanor was unintimidating. His professionalism and knowledge of every product offered in his department -- as well as all of the financing products offered by Best Buy-- was nothing short of outstanding.
In fact, I can honestly say he was the most attentive, knowledgeable and impressive representative that I have dealt with in any box store in the past decade. Sosa of Best Buy Staten Island is a genuine credit to the Best Buy franchise and name.
My Best Buy number: 4198561411
