Sony KP-53HS10 53-Inch Projection TV
This TV has been INCREDIBLE over the years!  100 stars!
I've had the Sony KP-53HS10 rear projection TV featured prominently as our main entertainment set since I bought in new in May 2001!  In that period of time, I have had no problems whatsoever with the TV (how often does this happen!), and it has been flawless in every regard.  5 years later, DVD's still look jaw-dropping spectacular, with great detail and color that rival or surpass other DLP or plasma sets i've seen!  Alignment of the picture tubes (projection tubes) is automatic as well, requiring the user to simply push one button on the front of the set.  Incidentally, i've only had to do this about once a year, as everything always looks sharp and as it should.  Digital Cable TV looks stunning as well, and the line-doubling technology on this set makes a good analog source/signal look digital anyway.  I honestly do not see any reason to get rid of this set and upgrade, given the stunning picture on this set, as well as the substantial screen size.  Given the overall great experience and reliability this set has given us over the years, I will continue to be a Sony fan indefinitely.  Way to go Sony!!!<br /><br />UPDATE: Someone, PLEASE pick my jaw up off the floor! It is now almost March 2013, and we STILL have this TV in our family room, as the main set! We've had this set now for 12 years, with NO problems or issues! The HD picture still looks great, but i'm at the point in time where I am considering a new 55 or 60 inch LED TV, because they are much thinner, and I need all the space I can get in my small to medium room. There aren't that many phenomenally well built products out there that will last 12 or so years with daily use (the only other one I have had is my venerable VW Golf, which has lasted 11 years so far with NO problems), but this Sony is clearly one of them.<br /><br />2nd UPDATE: It is now October 2013, and after all these years, I finally decided to remove the rear lower panel of this TV (by the way, the picture they have of it here on Amazonis wrong, but if you look up the KP-53HS30 here, it looks very similar) in order to vacuum up the internal dust and to clean the 3 lenses.  I unplugged the TV first, and took a vacuum wand extension to gently vacuum up all the dust that had settled on the circuit boards and in between the various heat sinks. There was a considerable amount. Following this, I proceeded to remove the layer of dust that had settled on the lenses after all these years. I used Bausch & Lomb 'Sight Savers', which is a small pre-moistened lens cleaning tissue that is anti-fog and anti-static. After 2 passes on each lens, the dust was gone. I also sprayed Caig 'Deoxit' contact cleaner on the rear panel audio and video connections. When I turned on the TV, I was BLOWN AWAY!  The video image looked noticeably brighter and LIKE-NEW! Both on HD Cable and using an upscaling DVD player! Even though I have been eyeing some of these under a thousand dollar 60\\" plasma TV's that seem like a great deal, I decided to hold back, since this amazing HDTV I purchased back in 2001 still has an amazing picture!  If you've owned this HDTV (or any rear-projection unit with the lenses, I highly recommend for you to clean the lenses, since after a few years, dust will collect on the lens surface, and impeded and degrade the image.
