Sony KDF-E55A20 55-Inch LCD Rear Projection Television
HDTV IS NICE REGULAR TV IS TERRIBLE
So first off I'll explain as much as i can from the experience. <br /> <br />I order it from Amazon.com takes abuot 2 1/2 weeks to arrive from the time i order it.  A third party delivers my TV with 3 Guys.  the BOX IS HUGE!!! They help carry it downstairs, unpack, setup, and take away all my boxes etc.  Overall a Good Experience.  But i hate waiting for the 2 1/2 Weeks~!! <br /> <br />After plugging in my cable directly into the TV ( NO HD YET).  I start to surf around and the picture quality is TERRIBLE.  Regular channels MTV, CBS, NBC etc are all pixelated and grainy looking.  I play around with the Wide Screen features but it just makes it worst as you stretch out an already Pixelated Picture.  Overall for regular channels, my regular Sony CRT 32 inch is MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH BETTER( i've had it for 10+ years)~!!!! 1 Star <br /> <br />After that, I decide to play a DVD.  Put in my Progressive scanner and pop in the Matrix.  Picture quality was Ehhh. I was expecting something SPECTACULAR. Overall I felt that wasn't much of a difference from my regular TV, just the fact that you can watch it in Widescreen. 3 Stars <br /> <br />Then the Cable guy comes in and Installs my HDTV.  You don't need a box for this since it already has a Cable Card Slot.  Its great sinc e you don't have to 'rent' the box from your cable provider.  This was much cheaper (about $1.50 per month for the cable card VS Cable box $6.00).  However the only downside is that you can't  have on-demand and the TV Guide Features.   But for saving about $5 bucks a month ( which will add up) I'll suffer with out those features.  So after installing my HDTV (takes abuot 30 Minutes) i turn on ESPN HD.   1 word WOW~!!!!!!.  It was truly amazing.  i saw everything~!!.  The picture quality was truly jaw dropping,  super clear!  You can even see the Mesh on the Jerseys.  I basically felt like i was in the Game. I start to surf around more in the HD channels, and they were just gorgeous to watch~!  The onlydraw back is that there are about only 15 HDTV channels, and out of those channels ONLY certain shows are in HD( most Prime time Shows. 24, Lost, Prison break, ETC).  Also to note the  sports games are in HD but NOT ALLWAYS.  So you can be watching a football game from an ariel view in HD, but once they change camera angles, it might not be HD.  Also REALLY fast movement ( like nascar) at times  will be pixelated, i guess since its soo fast.  But overall for the HDTV i give it 4 Stars.  I would give it 1 more if there were more channels~! <br /> <br />So my overall conclusion is that this TV is basically JUST for HDTV nothing else.  If you plan on using this for regular TV WITH OUT HD DON\\"T BOTHER, get a regular tv.   <br /> <br />Just to Sum UP <br />Overall experience with Amazon = 5 Stars <br />Regular TV Channels = 1 star <br />DVD  = 3 Stars <br />HDTV = 4 Stars <br /> <br /> <br />
