Daddy's old television

Pros They are the best great picture and you really feel like your in the theater.
Cons Nothing bad a bit loud sometimes but nothing else.
Recommended it? Yes


This is the best television I have ever seen. My father bought Sony KP-53V85 when he was in Florida and he got it cheap. This television makes you feel like your in a movie theater no lie. The best thing is when you have surround sound. This makes you not want to go to a theater no more. This... Read full review »

What Is Missing With This TV...

Pros Everything- the sound, the picture, the easy to use menu, the easier to use remote
Cons Not cheap, but worth the extra cost.
Recommended it? Yes

I challenge you to tell me what Sony forgot in the development of the KP-53V85. In fact, $100 to the person who tells me what they missed. Hey, no cheating! You can search all the available resources and you will not find it. I promise.

Well, the holidays have ended and the 'rents... Read full review »

Sony KP-53V85 -- Not This TV, Not Now

byradioguy May 12, 2001
21 Helpfuls 22 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Picture-and-Picture
Cons Overpriced
Recommended it? No

If a friend asked me about buying the Sony KP-53V85 TV, I'd advise against it. The street price ($2,200) of the 53V85 is too close to high-def sets of similar size to make this set a good value. High-def broadcasting, and programming, is within reach of viewers in all the major metro areas of the... Read full review »

Big Screen. Big Value.

Pros Picture, lots of inputs, solid sound system.
Cons Perhaps to big for some living rooms.
Recommended it? Yes

Being my first experience with Rear Projection, I was not sure what I was getting in to. I have long been a big fan of Sony TV's, and have been watching Trinitrons for a long time.

Recently, we found our direct view TV just wasn't cutting with DVDs, especially with the 'big' sound on newer... Read full review »

Pros Great Picture, Screen Sheild, Sound, Durable, Low Price, Sony
Cons Find One...I Dare You...
Recommended it? Yes

I was in search of the best rear-projection TVs one day, and when I thought of the best, I pictured the KP53XBR300 and KP53V80. So, while checking out the selection at an electronics store, I came across one nice TV. The Sony KP53V85. It looked very similar to the Sony KP53V80, but it was all gray... Read full review »

Pros Wonderful Picture, Great sound, Show piece of your home entertainment system
Cons Friends keep wanting to come by all of the time to watch tv.
Recommended it? Yes

The Sony KP-53V85 truly has an amazing picture. I looked at quite a few big screen tvs and did a lot of research on them. Out of all of the TVs that I looked at, this one had the best picture,sound and special features that I wanted. I actually optied for the larger 61 inch model (KP61V85)since I... Read full review »

Pros Clear picture from most angles, crisp sound, easy to use menu
Cons No complaints yet
Recommended it? Yes

My friend bought the "other manufacturers" set....and now he is paying the price (price of regret). I love this unit. I can see football scores all the way across the house. The picture is crystal clear (better than you would expect from a projection TV). DVD movies look and sound fantastic! Most... Read full review »

Pros picture, sound, features
Cons no button lock feature
Recommended it? Yes

I agree with hwz1 almost completely. There is one thing that they left off of this tv that is a must for my family - a button lock feature. I have two small children who love buttons. The youngest one is constantly changing the channel or turning the volume all the way up. Other than that, the tv... Read full review »

Pros Picture and Sound Quality period
Cons Absolutely Nothing!!
Recommended it? Yes

This is probably the only or last review you need to read. I'm not trying to be a pompous, arrogant jackass. Just that I knocked my head against just about every projection tv out there in this size and larger, and I want to save you the scars of battle.

First, Forget about HDTV "ready"... Read full review »
