Sony KP-53V80 53" Projection TV
Not Sony's Best
I bought this tv when my Sony KP-53XBR300 53&quot; Projection TV went out  after six years(the red &quot;pot&quot; went nova) and to fix it was out of  the question. As the Sony KP-53V80 had very good reviews I went for it. Bad  idea for me as the more I watch it the worse the picture gets.  Sharpness  was nowhere to be found, the soft colors will not blend, and an all black  screen has an area that shows white.  The  Sony  KP-53XBR300 53&quot;   Projection TV was the best I had ever seen. The reviewers for the Sony  KP-53V80 said it had the best picture. Not this one. I bought this one for  the price and the reviews, I should have paid more and got the Sony  KP-53XBR300.  Just thought you might want to know.
