Sony Grand WEGA KDF-50WE655 50-Inch LCD Projection TV with Integrated HDTV Tuner
Excellent picture in every way except black level and 480p
This TV is capable of astounding IMAX-like pictures when viewing a good HDTV signal.  Has very good 480i/NTSC up-conversion but only so-so at 480p.  That's because the advanced video processing menu option is only available for 480i and NTSC, not 480p (progressive).  As a consequence the TV does a really amazing job at up-converting ordinary analog tv signals and 480i DVD output.  But 480p component/DVI DVD is NOT as good as 480i component DVD, at least with my Denon 1910.  The sony's 480i up-converter even has an edge over the Denon's 720p and 1080i internal DVI up-converters.  Too bad you can't get 480i over DVI. <br /> <br />As others have noted, black level is mediocre.  The screen puts out a glow during dark scenes that can't be adjusted away.  You don't really notice it in a brightly lit room.  But in a dark room it is very much apparent.  Before buying, judge for yourself by playing Harry Potter 3 or other dark movie in a dark room.  Turning on the DVD player's black level boost can help separate dark scenes from the background glow without compromising normally lit scenes. <br /> <br />After about a month, I got use to the glow and don't really notice it except during extended, very dark scenes.
