Sony KDP-51WS655 51-Inch HD-Ready CRT Projection Television
Sony 51" Projection TV...Died After 8 Years
I bought this TV a little over a year ago from Sears...I think for a good price of $1,450.00 which included tax and delivery.  I am quite happy with this TV for the price and the features it has to offer.  It has a pretty clear picture for a projection TV, even better than some LCD models.  The sound quality is good and can be pumped through a stereo system for outstanding sound that really feels like being at your own little theatre.  I also like the ease of getting as clear a picture as possible with the \\"Flash Focus\\" button right on the front of the set or from the remote.  Just press the button and the TV does a good job of clearing the picture from whatever input source.  You can further adjust picture manually if so desired.  Anyway, overall this TV is a good set that I expect to get many years of service...and it's a Sony! [I have a previous Sony TV that fell flat on it's screen during an earthquake (1994) which only suffered a crack down the side and still works now.]<br /><br />UPDATE November 2012:<br />This TV worked great for me for almost 8 years of about 8 hours of daily use...It finally died, indicating (with flashing red light) a board is malfunctioning. I was very happy with its picture and performance. I did expect it to last longer being a Sony. My previous Sony (CRT) TV is still working after almost 20 years now. I guess this is the course of things today...always newer and upgraded features. I have to admit this actually made me buy a new \\"Smart\\" TV which I am more than happy to now use. I just hope I get the same or more longevity from the newer TVs since I think the available features will hold me for another 10 years besides, they (TV manufacturers) can just upload new software/features to the newer TVs anyway.<br /><br />As for this TV, I loved it for almost 8 years and now only like it because it failed before I gave up on it.
