Sony KP-48V80 48" Projection TV
Best of the Big Screens
Agonized for many months deciding on a rear projection TV formy house and compared just about every model available (except forHDTV models) and found the Sony KP-48V80 to be the best out there. Keep in mind that the picture quality is only as good as the incoming signal (many stores have projection TVs connected to DVD players only, be sure to view TV with other sources when comparing).  True, the Sony is the most expensive analog for it's size out there but there's a reason for that.  This TV can't be beat (except maybe by the XBR rear projection series).  END
