Pros: Stunning picture quality with HD programming, very good internal speakers, decent SD picture quality.
Cons: Awkward remote, internal speakers must be turned off for audio output to work.
Summary: I went through the long and confusing selection process that most big screen TV buyers suffer through. Plasma looks great but what about burn-in and durability? DLP is fantastic, but what about the rainbow effect and headaches? LCD...poor black ... read more

Pros: Great quality picture, UNTIL the known Optical-Block defect arises.
Cons: STAY away from this and all other SONY products. They don't care after you purchase.
Summary: I've had my Sony Grand Wega KDF-42WE655 for just 27 months. It went on record as the most expensive television set I ever owned, I'm an avid TV viewer. Went it developed a strange, random "pattern" in the picture, I was heartbroken thinking that the ... read more

Pros: The pixel is higher than other brand, and the price is very reasonable.
Cons: Blue star, yellow blotch blue spot on the screen.
Summary: We bought this TV on 11/12/2004. We were planning to buy other brand, but when we compare the price and the specs. SONY was the winner. I think SONY name was a part of our decision that time. We paid 2,059.19 on sale, regular was 2,339.99 and got a 2 ... read more

Pros: Good value for the money outlay, easy-to-navigate on-screen menu, many choices of cabling options.
Cons: Remote control is complex, but can serve as a universal remote for satellite/cable box/dvd/vcr, etc.
Summary: This was my first purchase of a big screen TV, having migrated from a 22" tube TV, which was really too small for my 10 x 12 foot living room. As a rule of thumb, a viewable TV should be 1/3rd the size of the room, so for a 12 foot room, a 42" TV is ... read more

Pros: Excellent HD image quality, ease of use and setup, form factor
Cons: Disappointing standard image quality, bright color glare and eye-strain
Summary: I picked up this TV a few weeks ago after deciding to upgrade to 16:9 and HDTV. My previous TV was a 32" Trinitron which was (especially in retrospect) a fantastic TV. The only drawbacks were that it was 4:3 standard def, it weighed about 120 pounds, ... read more

Pros: Picture quality
Sound quality
Built-in receiver automatically receives HD direct from cable
Cons: Cabinet is uninspiring
Summary: After shopping around in person and then checking out reviews, I settled on this model for our relatively small TV room (viewing distance about 10 feet). We've had it for about a week now and we love it. Took it out of the box, plugged in the cable and ... read more

Pros: See the update
Cons: See the update
Summary: UPDATE: January 2007 Had I not bought the extended warranty on this, I would have paid for it twice. There was a problem (apparently one many have had) with what is called "roadmapping" or the "etch a sketch" effect on my tv. I turned it on one ... read more

Pros: Good sound.
Cons: Useless tv after 2 years.
Summary: After 2 years, this tv, like all other rear projection LCD tvs like it around the world began developing one of many problems. In our case it was the "blue haze" where a blue area developed in the lower left corner and spread across the screen so

Pros: It was a decent set when it worked.
Cons: Can you say "Manufacturer's defect!" and they won't stand behind their product.
Summary: Initially, I really enjoyed this TV; however, after the first year or so I had to replace a bulb for the TV (we don't even watch TV 24/7) which was $200 . Then 1.5 years later I get blue blotches and stars and Sony says tough luck! They have basically

Pros: Worked great the first few years!
Cons: Nasty blue blob spreading over the screen!
Summary: PLEASE type in "sony wega blue blob" in any search engine BEFORE buying this TV. They have BIG expensive problems with a mysterious blue fuzzy blob slowly covering the screen and Sony will not fix the problem if you are out of warranty, even though
