I've been wanting a widescreen television for years. The black bars on my DVDs have really aggravated me. Finally I splurged and bought this glorious Sony television after 'previewing' the same model at a friend's house. I am not disappointed at all. This television is amazing. Read on....this is...

Pros The split picture feature is nice. Good sound.
Cons Picture blurry in wide mode.
Recommended it? Yes

I really like a crisp picture, so when we went to Best Buy, that's what I looked for. Regular TVs seem to have a much crisper picture than projection TVs. The TV I was looking at was $1000, so I figured if I was going to spend that much money, I might as well spend a little more, and get a big one... Read full review »

I love this TV - I didn't realize what a worthwhile purchase this would be. I haven't been to the cinema since I bought it :)

The TV is capable of displaying two channel inputs at the same time - and shrinking one while growing the other. This is useful if I'm playing a game and my wife... Read full review »

Why this particular TV?

We wanted one that would fit into an irregular alcove that is wide at the bottom an narrow at the top. This unit has a small width at its top and slopes back so it fit nicely in our home.
Secondly we wanted a crisp image and compared to most rear projection... Read full review »

CRTs replaced and the problem has started to reoccur yet once again. Recently (August 2004) two oval blue lines show at the bottom and top... Read full review »
