Monitor 60 Series 2
Can anyone explain the diff between monitor 60 and monitor 60 series 2 ?
Were there 2 different production runs? And how can I tell if mine are garden-variety, or series 2 ?
Thx,

I have series 1 M60's and replaced them with M70 series 2... near as I can tell.. the difference is in the black face as opposed to the silver."Making life enjoyable through expensive electronics." BillD

Pretty sure it's just cosmetic changes and Newegg is the only retailer that carries the series 2 as far as I know.

I'll say this much....they look a hell of a lot better than the silver series 1"Making life enjoyable through expensive electronics." BillD

Different colored rings around the speakers, and the series II grills are black, the originals are more of a dark grey in color.
I can't remember for the life of me if I read it here somewhere, or if I actually found something "official" - but the series II from newegg (exclusive) are series I (doesnt really exist, they are just called Monitors) with some TSi parts.65" Sony X900 (XBR-65X900E)

All I know is my M70 series 2 (bought from Newegg at about $350) look a lot better with the grilles off than any of my other Monitors."Making life enjoyable through expensive electronics." BillD

I have to disagree the black looks awful with the cherry IMO. I loved the early 2000's silver, I wish it wouldn't have went out of style. I just seen a Hitachi plasma sitting on the curb on trash day a few houses down, it was silver. I thought it was cool.
Yes it is on the workbench in my garage, and everything but the coax works :)I think that was my first garbage pick!My fiancee was embarrased but oh well thats my M O
But I liked the Silver, and I made sure that was what I ordered, with the grills they are black anyhow so it's a moot point. -

Are you talking about the Hitachi that has the silver/black grills, or the speakers? I had one of the older hitachi ultravisions and I loved it. As far as the speakers, I can't say that I've seen (in person) the original Monitors, but I like the series II. I've got the cherry as well. I think part of it is that the black is a "definate" color. The grey could be construed as washed out perhaps? Again, this is without actually seeing a pair for my own eyes.65" Sony X900 (XBR-65X900E)
