 Great set for the money... June 18, 2007
I purchased this set at CC in November of 2005 for about $1800. Seems like allot in today's money. But I've been extremely happy with this set and never regretted my purchase.
I have multiple HD sources(blu-ray and cable HD) both look great. Just one tip, make sure your cable box is set to "pass-through"...so that your TV does the signaling(720P, 1080i) and not the cable box. Some cable boxes will take totally over and just feed your set a 1080i signal. Some people think this is fine, being a videonut, no thanks.
Once the picture is calibrated, it is pretty spectacular and looks amazing. 42" was the right size for the room, not too big and not too small. I sit about 9 feet away. And the viewing angles are great on this set.
My last set was a Sony and I got a good 13 years from it. It still working great. You can't deny, Sony still builds quality products. I'm still on the original bulb.
Never thought a Rear-Projection TV could look and sound this good... March 9, 2007

I have always been somewhat prejudiced against rear-projection TVs. Mostly because I judge them based purely on the way they used to be in the 1990s; Huge and heavy that never showed a clear picture or sound...the kind where you could not see a thing on the screen unless you were sitting dead-on in front of it.
This Sony WEGA LCD Rear-Projection TV has changed my outlook towards its brethren completely. I honestly never thought in my wildest dreams that a rear-projection TV can looks this good and sound this amazing. Honestly, it has the best sound system I have ever heard in a TV by far, from loud booming bass to directional sound...yes, I said directional. The TV makes it sound like surround sound straight from its somewhat hidden speakers. I don't know how it does it, but it does.
Moving onto the display, it is bright, crisp, and comes with a plethora of options and customizations to suit your viewing taste. HD Channels come to life in the clearest and crispest picture I have ever seen. And you have a variety of options for viewing non-HD channels.
Since the TV takes input up to 1080i I have all my devices (Xbox 360, Digital Cable, DVD player) hooked up to it with nothing less than component cables. The devices that can natively transmit in HD, such as the Xbox 360, flourish on this TV. I have never been so immersed in the sights and sounds of video games before!
Viewing angles: there are close to none! You can see this TV from an INCREDIBLY wide range! We have one of those TV stands where the top swivels, but we never have to even move it regardless of where we are sitting in the living room...the picture is just as crisp and clear no matter which side and however large of an angle you view it from.
The only angle you have to watch out for is vertical/height. I did notice a bit of difference in the picture if you are standing up or sitting down (depending on the height of the TV compared to yours). But even that is only if you are standing within 4-feet of the TV.
Lastly, the one factor that basically sealed the deal for me with this TV is the fact that you can replace the lamp yourself. The lamp has a life of 1.5 to 2 years (depending on how much you watch the TV) and spare ones can be bought straight from Sony or from a variety of places online for under $200. To replace it, you just open a hatch on the side of the TV (no screws), take out the old lamp cartridge, put in the new one. Yes, that's it! Additionally the TV itself actually tells you when it is time to replace the lamp...there is a light that comes on when the TV notices that your lamp is approaching the end of its life. Our TV still has its original lamp in it and it is close to 2 years old. I bought a spare lamp online just in case, but I haven't had to use it yet; the picture is still crisp and clear as it was the very first day.
