    Pros: Nice picture, while it lasted.
    Cons: Unacceptable reliability, obscene repair cost.

    Summary: After 30 years of buying and loving Sony TVs, my KF-50XBR800 was my last. A month after the warranty expired I started seeing a red shadow next to dark colored objects. Adjusting the sharpness controls from auto to #3 seemed to help, but after another ... read more

    Pros: Excellent, bright output and have an awesome viewing angle, on par with Tubes.
    Cons: Black levels aren't that black (dark grey).

    Summary: DLPs versus LCD? For best value, I thought the LCD and DLP proj tvs offered the best price/performance. At the time I bought mine (2 months ago) the price delta between LCD and DLP was about $1K - DLP being higher. One of the key drawbacks of LCD is ... read more

    Pros: It's a TV and it has a picture, albeit it's a VERY dark picture.
    Cons: It keeps breaking, over and over.

    Summary: Sony keeps replacing mine because when i bought it NEW way back when it was almost $5,000, now it's worth MAYBE $50. The lamps keep blowing, the chips keep blowing, the mirrors get dusty and the lamps burn out. These TVs SUCK !!!!!!!! I absolutely HATE

    Pros: The amazingly sharp picture although sometimes a little washed out
    Cons: no cable card slot...only one dvi input and no hdmi...the confusing menu and bad remote

    Summary: This TV has a very sharp image, but compared to the new sets it's color is a little lacking. Watching the World cup on ESPN HD was pretty amazing. Also watching baseball on INHD. The TV is a little outdated by only having on DVI imput and no cable

    Pros: Great Picture quality and sound
    Cons: T.V. takes about 15 seconds to warm up when you first turn it on.
