60'' flat screen value

[Pastullio]

Guys im totally uneducated with the values of these new tvs, ive been too poor to bother. But someone has offered to sell me a "60 inch sony flat screen tv mounts on the wall", lcd or plasma not sure... for $600. I should totally do that right no matter what it is resolution wise and whatnot right? The details are so vague because buyer nor seller is up to date on new tv technology. Any help with this is appreciated. I also apologize for being stupid.

It will be easier to determine the value if you post the model number.

I could be wrong but I do not think Sony has ever made a 60" LCD that can be wall mounted.

They have made several 60" LCOS rear-projection TVs (which weren't very deep, but not wall-mountable the same way an LCD/Plasma is) including the A3000 and XBR2.
For LCD they have made 70" and 55" and everything else is smaller.

Either your friend has the size wrong, it can't be wall mounted, or it is old enough I cannot find any info on it. If you can get some more info we might be able to help more. Maybe just a picture of the TV?

We live an hour and a half apart, hes gonna go check it out better sometime today. Yeah I couldn't find a tv to match his description either. Obviously gonna have to get more information. He just gave me the heads up on a "63 Zenith Plasma" which doesnt seem to add up either. The legitimacy of these tvs is comming into doubt.

Is this off craigslist or something?

If it's a KDS-60A3000, call it $1000 or so. I would _not_ buy the older Sony SXRD A2000 models, as the optical blocks are infamous for dying.
