Summary:
Don't buy one. They don't have the parts to fix them. I just got off the phone with Sony service and they told me there was nothing they could do. I now have a big pile of junk in my livingroom.
Stay away from this product. After the service call i just had with Sony - I would stay away from all there products. I thought a Sony product would be a good purchase - well i was wrong - Buyer beware

Well its three years now since I got my first Sony HDTV model KP-51HW40. Now I find out I must replace all three picture tube at a cost of 1000 dollars. Last Sony I buy!

Strengths:
Good picture for a projection TV.

Weaknesses:
Must be serviced after 3 years. Very expensive to repair. Does not pay to repair.

Review NaN of

Price Paid:  $2300.00 from Circuit City

Summary:
Had the set for 3 years. First 18 month great then came the horizontal red lines! Spaced about 2 inches apart and arching upwards. I eliminated any magnetic issues and they seem to be getting worse! Looks worse on a darker picture or at certain angles. I expected with the Sony name this would be a quality product and with all the customer service issues I will just deal with it until my next set. Chalk this up to an expensive lesson and will never buy another Sony TV. Guess they need to stick to the music business!

Strengths:
First projection set, pic looked great until the red lines!

Weaknesses:
Poor Picture with red lines.
