    • Product Rating: 4 star(s) Lamp problem, taken care of. Fail again later?
      by Jim, Aug. 17, 2004
    • Pros: Excellent picture clarity, sharp & bright!
    • Cons: Lamp failed in two weeks. SONY shipped me a new one pronto.

    • Comments:
      Excellent picture quality. Pleased with weight and depth of unit. Best picture of anything in the Circuit City store or others when I shopped in December of 2003. I did have a lamp failure problem during the first couple of weeks, but SONY shipped me...

      This is an outstanding choice if you are looking for a LCD television. I compared several different models in person when I was shopping and the Sony had a brighter picture, vivid black and whites, and overall better sharpness than the ones made by othe...

    • Comments:
      Great TV, great picture, but I can't give it 5 stars because of the bulb problem. I spoke to a Sony tech support person who personally dealt with this problem during the first of the year (when the problem was really getting noticed) and is quite versed...

      I ordered this unit at www.sonystyle.com on May, 2004. It is a back ordered item, so I have to wait for one month 'til they shipped the unit. I saw one unit like this at Bestbuy, and the picture is awesome! The package arrived on June 2nd, the "white g...

    • Pros: Picture quality, sound, weight.
    • Cons: Reliabilty, connections, cheap plastic look.

    • Comments:
      I did a lot of research before I bought this from Best Buy for $2450. They included a progressive scan DVD player and $100 worth of DVD's for that price. It takes a while to configure a perfect picture, but well worth the effort. I am picky, and this...

    • Product Rating: 4 star(s) Pros outweigh the cons by far!!
      by motheroftwo, May. 20, 2004
    • Pros: PICTURE IS GREAT --closest to plasma without the high price
    • Cons: definitely the bulb--get the extended warranty
    • Has Owned Product: 6 months
    • Comments:
      After reading several ratings shown here, I bought this for my husband in Nov 2003 with the 2yr warranty. Sooo glad I did--true to form the 200.00 light bulb gave out within the 1st month. Make sure you buy it somewhere you can trust--Circuit City manag...

      I would only recommend this TV to my enemies. Imagine the frustration of having this beautiful TV in your living room, all set and read to watch the Lakers/Spurs playoff game, you press the "on" switch, and the TV sits there, screen darkened, blinking it...

      by crimetek, Mar. 9, 2004
    • Pros: Sound is good
    • Cons: a satelitte system the TV does not process quickly
    • Has Owned Product: 3 months
    • Comments:
      I returned the first unit because the processer did not have a clear picture.If you watch like Headline news the person would be clear and the writing below was fussy. Then it would also reverse. I think the TV should be revamped...the lamp is dim and i h...

    • Product Rating: 5 star(s) Truely Digital 3.28 Million Dots Resolution
      by Johnnie008, Feb. 24, 2004
    • Pros: 3.28 Million Dots Resolution
    • Cons: I guess the Lamp.
    • Has Owned Product: 10 days
    • Comments:
      You need at least 1 Million Dots Resolution to get a digital picture. I researched all the LCD projection sets and none are above the 1 Million Dots Resolution. Panasonic - 1280 x 720 = 921,600 Dots Resolution. Samsung DLP - 1280 x 720 = 921,600 Dot...
