Sony Grand WEGA KF-60WE610 60-Inch HDTV-Ready LCD Rear Projection TV
The Most Bang for Your Buck
I love this TV.  Period.  I paid $3,499 for it at a franchise electronics store; it was delivered four days later; and now I can't wait to get home from work every night and watch it.  Watching a high quality DVD through one of the two HD inputs is an awesome experience. <br /> <br />At the store, I looked at it next to a Mitsubishi 65\\" CRT and a Samsung 55\\" plasma.  It annihilated the CRT and held its own with the plasma (for about half the price of the plasma).  That is what sold me. <br /> <br />It has just the right number of inputs for my AV system.  The picture quality for HD input is incredible.  For SD inputs, it is so-so, but that is mostly the lower quality signal. <br />It is also a great looking cabinet. <br /> <br />I had read that Sony had some problems with the model's lamp blowing out earlier this year, but I understood that was fixed; so I took a chance.  My unit has a June 2004 manufacturing date, and I have had it about a week now.  No problems; just a beautiful picture at a very affordable price.
