Summary: Not bad, not great
Comment: Great TV except in high light areas. Works best in a dark place. Also, it doesn't do well with fast motion HD such as sports. There is a lot of pixelation. But while watching HD in low light areas, it's terrific. I'm replacing the lamp now though after only 3.5 years. I guess this is a normal time with normal use. But dropping $200 on a new lamp is annoying. I can't wait until the lamp goes again. Then I can justify upgrading to a Plasma or LCD.
I would reccomend this TV to a friend if the price is right.

Summary: BEWARE!!!
Comment: I've had this tv for about 15 months. Up until about a week ago this tv was total greatness. BUT now I am beside myself I am so livid and doubt I'll get another Sony anything!! It's become almost impossible to watch because the tv loses picture and sound for about 30 seconds and then it comes back. The standby light blinks about 38-42 times while this is going on. Sony "customer support" was no help and it's likely to fix it is going to cost an exhorbitant amount of money. This is the second Sony tv I've had crap out on me like this.

Summary: Great Product!
Comment: I was sceptical about ordering such a high priced item off of the internet but after receiving the item I had no regrets. The Sony TV is great, the picture is amazing and set-up was a snap. The TV is a real value!

Summary: TV is Great...shipping was hassle free except the wait
Comment: Since the TV is now obsolete by the next year model, I wanted to comment on the shipping. After reading a few of the horror stories and awaiting order confirmation, I did start getting nervous. The delay in the order shipping was due to lack of inventory, since it was near the end of the model line. This wait resulted in a $500 savings when compared to Best Buy and Circuit City. Once shipped, the TV was delivered promptly to my house by very courteous guys. They helped open the box and look things over in a preliminary inspection to insure things worked. Although things were a little stressful in the middle of the process, I am happy in the end.

Summary: My first big widescreen TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment: First of all lets take a moment to thank my dear wife, who approved buying this :) and now she is so much in love with this set. For watching DVDs I am using a 4 year old Sony DVD player and the results can be divided into 2 broad categories. The newer DVDs look absolutely stunning, however the older ones look a little flat, and this may be due to the quality of the DVDs itself. I do not have a progressive scan DVD player [yet] and I am told that it's a great experience to move up to 480p from 480i. I am considering buying a HDMI/ progressive scan DVD player.
As far as watching TV is concerned, I have regular digital cable and the pictuer quality is not good at all, 3 out of 5 at best. I think this TV is made for HD transmission and regular/ digital cable kind of defeats the purpose.
The rest of my system comprises of a Denon 2802 receiver and 5.1 Energy speakers and this TV is a good fit with the rest of the system.
I recommend this unit.
