I did and at $550 from Circuit City (wish I had bought 2) it was a steal. Why do you ask, is there something wrong with it?
Yes I wanted the 960 but didn't have the money then.
Did the 960 have the HDMI plug in?

River,
As you know I did buy the XBR970 knowing it idn't have the SFpitch tube didn't matter to me then and still doesn't now(wish it had it but NP )

MY Sony KD-34XBR970 is still pumping out a awesome picture and it survived a 1/2 move to our new home in Nov. 2009

Happy New Year and best wishes to all!

They just don't make TV's like they used to do. Hope you still enjoy them.

I still love my Sonys, the best sets I've ever owned (XBR-960's) I've had them so long I don't even remember who I bought them from, some place in Washington (the state.) I also
bought the huge 58" Panasonic. Still stunning for the NCAA BB tourament 2011. I think I have met my match!

Good to hear about your Sonys. I have two and I live both, but mine are the SXRD and a later LCD. Running strong. Is your Panny a Plasma? We have two Panny Plasmas in our house and they have stunning pictures. My SXRD has terrible viewing angles, but the image is still stunning and I thought I would never find another picture as good...until the Panny Plasma.

Yes, the Panasonic is a 58" Viera plasma. 1080p, but don't remember exactly when 'the monster' moved in; spring of '08 I think. Picture quality goes without saying, I also love the built in TV-Guide and other perks. Hoping it lasts forever, because as with the Sonys its just too damn heavy move around.

Best to all,

River.

Howdy River and Dan,

My Sony KD-34XBR970 is now going on four years of daily use and is still kicking out an awesome picture. Someday I will most likely replace it with a flat panel but I am not looking forward to that day yet!

Best wishes,

Highwayman, when you do finally replace your trusted Sony with a flat screen, just make sure you feed it a High Def source signal. Flat screens don't look all that great when connected to standard-def cable or satellite, but your jaws will drop when connected to HD. From my personal experience, I highly recommend a Plasma if they are still sold when you finally replace 'ol Nelly Belle. Don't follow the rest of the Lemmings off the cliff by getting suckered into buying a 240Hz LED. That's the hot ticket item these days, and every month I visit the in-laws and put up with their LED that I find has a horrible picture.
