Sony KDF-E42A10 42-Inch LCD Rear Projection Television
Fantastic TV Picture - Great for our First HDTV
Purchased this for our large bedroom, as this is where watch most of our TV.  I originally wanted the 50\\", but it would have been too big for our situation.  We are about 9 - 10 ft. from the TV when watching it, and it seems to be the perfect distance.    I've had the TV for two weeks, and currently have it on basic analog cable and am thrilled with the picture quality.  I'm expecting it to get even better when I upgrade to digital cable and HDTV in a couple of weeks.  DVD's look awesome (Finding Nemo was absolutely incredible!), and the tv is super easy to use.  I basically got it home, hooked it up to the cable and DVD player, let it run through it's automatic station set up, and haven't done a thing since.  CC provides a DVD to help adjust all the settings, but I have not used it yet.  I have not had to make an adjustment and it looks great.  I did buy the 4-year extended warranty that covers the replacement of the light - the light costs $200, and CC will give you at least one, even of the old one does not burn out in the warranty period.  So far, couldn't be happier.    Update:  3/01/2006  I purchased the Terk Indoor HDTV Antenna (#TRK HDTVI) just for kicks to see if it could pick up any HD while I wait for another week for the cable company.  I plugged it in, and ran the set up program on the tv for the antenna.  Much to my shock, it picked up a bunch of stations in HD and looks fantastic.  I live around 30 miles north of Chicago, and NBC, ABC, PBS, FOX, WGN all have fantastic over-ari HD reception.  I am going to cancel the cable company visit and save the money!
