Sony KDF-E42A10 42-Inch LCD Rear Projection Television
Beautiful Product and reliable
I got mine locally for $1100 dollars.  The going rate was 1399-1599.  I saw it at a competitor for $1198.  So I went to another competitor and they gave it to me for the same price and took another $100 off the price for HDTV installation.  What a picture.  I started to get turned off by sony because I had 2 32 inch CRT's with tilted yoke making widescreen movies bend at the corners.  But I remained loyal and I'm glad I did.  I initially wanted a DLP by Samsung but this one next to it in the store blew it away.  I didn't go for the $500 dollar service contract because that's half of the price of the television.  I'll take my chances on this one.  Hopefully bulbs will come down too.  You'll love the picture with or without HDTV.  I love all the features and they're pretty intuitive.  There probably won't be too many left.  I think they're phasing the model out.  Not sure about amazon but the Sony purchase is worth it.  Sorry about the other bad reviews here.    Update:  This t.v. still has a beautiful picture on the original lamp.  Doesn't take too long to warm up.  Colors may not be as vibrant but could be related to lamp age.  To this day it blows away all my current lcd screens.  It's my gamer and video t.v.  Do they even make rear projection t.v.'s anymore?  If anything should go wrong with it, hopefully there are still replacement parts versus today's highly electronic circuitry included in today's flat panels.
