Sony KDF-E50A10 50-Inch LCD Rear Projection Television
so far, so great....
I bought this tv about 4 months ago, and it has been everything i expected and more. I find the customer reviews on Amazon very helpful whenever i'm shopping for .. anything! I was originally going to write a review on this unit when i bought it, but i thought it might be more helpful after i had it a while.  <br /> <br />I researched online and at local stores 3 months before deciding on the Sony. I like the Samsung DLP's, but the Sony looked a bit brighter and more natural to me in my eyes. I confirmed this by comparing the 2 sets at different stores. I was even considering shelling out the money for a plasma, but just couldn't \\"see\\" why I wanted to pay double for something I can hang on the wall. Besides, the Sony looks awesome on my metal & black glass stand.  <br />Then I thought about what i'd actually be watching most of the time, cable tv. In this case, pretty much all HDTV's look crappy compared to my 32\\" tube tv, but the Sony actually looks decent. I also hooked up a good antenna to get all the local HD signals, and boy do they look great! I watch all the football games, including MNF, in high-def, and I realize why I paid so much for a TV! In fact, i'm watching the Orange Bowl (PSU vs FSU) right now, and if you could see it, you'd buy this tv! DVD's and XBOX games also look damn good. <br />Finally, i'm not sure what all the fuss is about with the remote control. It seems easy to use to me, and I was able to fine tune the settings for each input.
