Review 1 of 3

Price Paid:  $1600.00 from Best Buy

Summary:
Choice between this one and the 50 inch model. This one fit in my living room. If you have the room get the 50. HD looks very clean and SD (480i) looks as good as it would look on a SD TV (wich is a complement for a HDTV). Looses picture clarity top to bottom if you stand over it but stays fairly clear left to right (unlike CRTRP). Have a X box 360 and the HD here looks crystal clear as well. Overall it is a great TV for a good price. Blacks not as deep as Plazma or DLP but picture is much brighter a vivid.

Strengths:
- Nice colors and bright pictures.
- HD Very clear and vivid
- SD broadcasts look as good as it would look on a SDTV.
- DVD (480p) very clear
- lightwheight / thin (for a RPTV)
- plenty inputs / easy access.
- HDMI input
- VGA input

Weaknesses:
- blacks not a black as some other techs. (ie, plazma, DLP)
- eventual bulb replacment.
- No picture options (movie, TV, Vivid ext...)
- Only 1 HDMI input.
- Some fan noise.
- "screen door effect" if sitting closer than 5ft or so.

Review 2 of 3

Price Paid:  $1799.00 from Best Buy

Summary:
Having used this T.V. for over a year now ,I could not be more pleased. H.D.
picture is stunning as is progressive scan dvd. All the reservations I had about
getting a projection set have been put to rest with this .l.c.d format. Highly
suggest geting the matching stand as really adds to the look.

Strengths:
Price-Picture-Style

Weaknesses:
Would like at least one more H.D.M.I. input

Review 3 of 3

Price Paid:  $1899.00 from Home Theatre Store

Summary:
This TV was the best picture for the screen size and the amount of money spent. HD looks incredible. Non-HD digital cable is very good. DVD via HDMI is amazing. Just go out and buy it!

Strengths:
Picture, Cost, Sony Quality

Weaknesses:
Takes a minute or so to warm up....
