colors, detail,film like pictures on dvd, many,many adjustments to contour the picture, huge amounts of inputs on the rear,including dvi,so many features that i cant name.

very,very heavy,and the price at the time, other than that none

i bought tv about 3 years ago and it has been the perfect preformer. these days i go into stores to look at plasmas,lcd,dlp,and dilas and when i get back home and look at the sony again,to me you still cant beat that tube picture from the sony xbr 800 36inch. it has a wealth of colors and detail. hooked up to componate input the picture is the best i have seen outside of hdtv.it also has dvi that i havent used yet but i hear thats its even better. the hd picture is stunning,i rarely use the tv speakers unless its just basic tv watching and the sub inside the tv really stands out. if you can still find one dont hesitate to get it because some one else will. it your a videophile this tv will complete your every need.

heavy(hard to move around)

before getting this heavyweight tv, i audition other brands: philips pixel plus, panasonic, samsung,jvc all the mentioned above are direct view crt tv, all have (32"to 36") i simply choose the sony coz of its NATURAL FLESHTONES, BUILT QUALITY, MEMORY STICK SLOT, PLENTY OF VIDEO CONNECTIONS. I am satisfied with my tv especially viewing dvd in progressive scan WOW, the picture is STUNNING, highly recomended FOR A PICKY IN PICTURE QUALITY LIKE ME

great picture and input flexibility

spotty performance

This set has a great picture...when it works. My set went out yesterday after 8 months of relatively trouble free veiwing. I had read of others' trouble with the set before hand but I thouhgt that I could beat the odds and get one of the good ones.
