Sony Bravia KDL-46S2000 46-Inch Flat Panel LCD HDTV
Great TV, must shop around for price
[...].  I am extremely pleased.    I previously owned a Sony projection CRT, and was debating between a plasma, flat-panel LCD, or a projection DLP/LCD.  After eliminating the projection TV's due to decreased viewing angles and size, I was down to the LCD and plasma.  In the end, I felt that LCD had better picture quality (or at least as good) and it was brighter.  Its difficult to find a larger size, however Sony recently came out with this 46\\" size (as did Samsung).  Other pro's are that there is no burn-in risk, longer lifespan, and best of all- there is no glare.  Plasma TV's have horrible glare issues in brighter rooms, or rooms with lamps, etc.  LCD's virtually eliminate this effect, so the picture is always clear and bright.    As for the cons, this Sony does not have PIP.  This is disappointing after paying nearly $3k for a TV.  Also, the level of blackness that Plasma TV promoters will tell you an LCD lacks is somewhat true.  While the black levels are not as dark, they are much improved over LCD TV's of a year ago, and do not take away from the \\"movie experience\\" at all in my opinion.    Bottom Line: After much research, you can't buy a better TV in this price range.
