This is my 3rd one !!!

byisisncasey Mar 1, 2010
1 Helpfuls 2 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros It's a TV and it has a picture, albeit it's a VERY dark picture.
Cons It keeps breaking, over and over.
Recommended it? No

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 mine because once again it stopped working !!!

Pros Nice picture, while it lasted.
Cons Unacceptable reliability, obscene repair cost.
Recommended it? No

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 few months that no longer solved the problem. I... Read full review »

Great TV for HD - boo for STD!

Pros Large - excellent picture quality for HD Form factor is not bad
Cons STD TV is not the greatest Only one DVI output - no HDMI
Recommended it? Yes

This television is great! I have had it for about 4 years now and have never had to change the LCD projection bulb. Picture quality on HD is crisp and clear. Picture adjustment is easy once you get the hang of the controls. The unit itself is nice to look at. I wish the side speakers were removable... Read full review »

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
Recommended it? Yes

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The TV is a little outdated by only having on DVI imput and no cable card slot.

I still like this TV... Read full review »

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 that the black levels aren't that black... Read full review »

Great for DVDs

byscuzzyhash Oct 2, 2003
1 Helpfuls 2 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great Picture quality and sound
Cons T.V. takes about 15 seconds to warm up when you first turn it on.
Recommended it? Yes

This thing is incredible. I can't believe its projection. There is really a difference in the picture quality of projection T.V.s. I guess you get what you pay for.

The picture quality is really so clear that you couldn't tell this was a projection T.V.

Cons sound or video shut down on its own
Recommended it? Yes

First let me say that the LCD projection has been around a lot longer for those of us giving presentations than it has on home TV systems. I have been using a LCD projector for about 5 years without a hiccup. The point is that this technology is stable.

The picture is very bright,... Read full review »

We had been in our new house about a year when my husband started looking at t.v.'s that would be viewable in our large but empty family room. I thought yikes - a 50 inch, $3200 t.v. -- is this a bit much? Will anyone ever watch this thing?

Besides, I am of the belief that there are two... Read full review »
