Sony KDF-E50A10 50-Inch LCD Rear Projection Television
Update on Software Glitch and Sony Coming Through
Now this is a dam good set and the only problem I have is the bloody cable company ran out of cable cards for it.  Bummers!!!!  UPDATE:  We've owned this set for over a year, and have suffered no problems with it so far.  You can now purchase this set brand new for $1000.00 less than what we paid over a year ago.  And about them cable cards, by all means get it, for the built-in HD tuner in the set is far superior to the tuners in the separate cable boxes provided by the cable company.  Trust me, there is a big difference in picture quality with the cable card installed when watching HD content.  Take advantage of the built-in HD tuner and install the cable card, since you already paid for HD tuner, you might as well use it and enjoy the terrific picture.   The sucker is real light too, and your wife can help you carry it anywhere.  The audio sound is just fair, but who cares - just hook up any decent HTIB to it and you'll never miss it not being on while the HTIB plays.  Update: well, never got around to buying 2nd set, because the boss said no.  Anyway, caved in and bought Sony's upscale HDMI DVD player (Model DVP-NS90V) from Amazon and hooked up the cheapest HDMI to HDMI cable AR AP085 I could find in an hour.  Now that bloody cable cost $55 at Best Buy (should of cost $35 or less), but I was in a hurry to hook up, and didn't want to spend $100+ more for the overprice (sucker) cable:  If you get 99% performance, why pay another $100 so you can get 100% performance?  Having one HDMI slot is ok, since the cable company came through with the cable card and the new upscale vcr was the only other equipment that required it. Great TV is even better with the Sony upscale HDMI CD/DVD player, which only requires one cable to the TV.  Now all I got to do is wait for the Blue Ray?  Update #2: Sony sent us a letter informing us that the software needed to be updated, so called them back and made date with technician to service.  Technician came and installed software in 15 minutes.  Great service, great TV, and great picture.  No problems with the set, just the lack of more high definition channels to view.  What's available is great too, just can't look at conventional sets anymore.  HD rocks!!!!
