Sony KDF-E50A10 50-Inch LCD Rear Projection Television
Don't trust out-of-the-box impression
This television was well worth the money.  Even though it is an entry level, it was plenty for my viewing space.  After purchasing, I used the Avia configuration disk to tune the picture and am nothing but impressed.  Out-of-the-box the picture was dissappointing; a little too much red push, too much contrast, too much brightnes, and way too much sharpness - this basically made the picture too washed out with too \\"hard\\" of edges. After configuring though, it is phenomenal!  The detail is superb for DVD and HD.  Even standard cable channels are on the plus side of acceptable.  Make sure to use the composite video or HDMI, though.  I found the TV through consumer reports, and after researching and reading reviews decided it would be the one for me.  Consumer reports ranked it #2 for its class, I trust the Sony name, and most buyers said the problems they were having could be \\"tuned\\" out.  I'm glad I picked it, and would buy it again.  Superb product!
