Sony Grand WEGA KF-42WE610 42-Inch HDTV-Ready LCD Rear Projection TV
Worth Every Penny
After spending months looking at traditional big screens, plasmas and the Samsung DLP, we decided on this technology.  I just wasn't impressed with what I saw from the DLP televisions. Few plasmas are true HD, and the DLP image seemed soft to me. The picture on the Sony Grand Wegas is crisp and clean, never soft (unless you want it that way - Sony provides several settings).  One of the greatest things about this type of TV is that there's no burn-in issues, so I don't have to &quot;zoom&quot; all the traditional NTSC. I much prefer to have black bars on the left and right than have, everyone look fat. The 480p off a DVD is stunning - and I can't wait to get an HDTV tuner hooked up. The black levels are quite good, it works well in our sun-lit living room, and the viewing angle is very wide. Strangely, the viewing angle gets better after the TV has warmed up a bit.  We happen to have a Sony digital camera, and with the memory stick feature, my wife can watch photo slideshows on the big screen - a bonus feature she really likes.
