Sony KP43T75 43" Projection TV (Gray)
Excellent Choice
While shopping for a large screen television, I had considered the Toshiba  TN-43V71 and this model- the Sony KP-43T75. <br />KP-43T75 Advantages: Thinner  (shallower depth-only 20&quot;) then most Rear Projection TV and Direct  View TV's(Standard TV's); Lighter (about 140 lbs) than most Direct View  TV's; and Larger screen viewing area (43&quot;). <br />CRT Advantages: Wider  viewing angle (both vertical- 55 degrees and horizontal- 130 degrees); and  Shorter minimum viewing distance (only 5 feet). <br />Although the KP-43T75  projection TV has a larger screen, it is lighter and can be moved more  easily. It also is a good choice for apartments or other smaller living  spaces. <br />I would recommend buying the optional stand (SU-43T3) because  without it the TV seem to be a little low for most normal sitting  positions. The stand solves this problem of being a little low and it looks  better with it. The stand has two shelves to and is just find for a VCR and  Game system.. <br />KP-43T75 Connection:  -Component Video In: 1 -S-Video  Inputs (Rear/Front): 2/1 -Composite Inputs (Rear/Front): 2/1 -RF Outputs: 2  - Monitor Output: 1<br />I would recommend renting or buying the &quot;Video  Essentials&quot; DVD, or &quot;Avia Guide to Home Theater&quot; DVD to  properly calibrate this TV since factory setting are pretty bad. If you  don't feel like spend the extra money then you may just need to decrease  the PICTURE (contrast), BRIGHTNESS, and SHARPNESS settings to achieve the  best picture quality. <br />Overall I think this Sony 43' TV is a great  investment if your in the market for buying a new Projection TV. You'll get  excellent picture quality at an excellent price.
