Sony Grand WEGA KDF-50WE655 50-Inch LCD Projection TV with Integrated HDTV Tuner
Incredible picture
This is the best 50\\" I've seen at any price. A previous reviewer complained that the bulb blew after 30 min. Well, This happens sometimes. I've had light bulbs blow that fast. All he had to do was go to Circuit City and get another. He then could have installed it himself, an easy chore. To return a TV because the bulb went is simply foolish.<br /><br />Update:<br /><br />I wrote the above based on what I saw in the store. I now have had this TV for one week and Still think it's great. This tv converts standard signals to HDTV like resolution which works very well. The standard signals are the best I've ever seen, very HDTV like. Some people complain that LCD TV's don't produce deep blacks well. This may bother some but I don't notice it at all. The TV, while not flat, is only 17\\" thick and weighs only 83 lbs. It has built in hand holds so 2 people han easily pick it up and carry it around. It has more inputs than I'll ever need (8 components). Thre are optical and coaxial digital outs for surround sound. I couldn't be more satisfied. For $2700 at Circuit City I consider this a bargain.<br /><br />Update 2:<br /><br />Sept 30 2005, After 10 months no change of opinion. We watch the TV every day. No problems at all. Still a great picture.<br /><br />Update 3<br /><br />July 4 2011. I upgraded this TV for an LCD flat screen and gave it to my daughter. It is still in daily use with only one bulb replacement. If you can find one used cheap I recommend it.
