Excellent TV. Great picture and lots of inputs.
Ordered this TV from Amazon and received it about a week and a half later. The local delivery company gave me a call and we scheduled a convenient time for the delivery. I took a half day from work as the window was 1-5pm on a Friday. The TV arrived without incident and I helped the delivery guy into the house with the box. He helped me unbox it and set it up on my stand. It is rear projection, but the case overall is less deep than my old 27" HD CRT by about six inches and though bulkier t...

An Excellant HD only TV
I've wanted this TV from Sony for a couple of years now, when it first came out as the model E2000. When walking through department stores, you can easily pick it out as having a very bright picture in comparison to other brands. I have upgraded from a 34" widescreen CRT HDTV. It is so much nicer having the bigger screen in the living room. Except for one small detail, SD (standard definition). HD sources on this TV are fantastic and a real joy to watch. SD sources are absolutely hideous. ...

Excellent TV
I've owned this TV for about 1 1/2 months. I love this tv with all my heart. I did a lot of research, as well as searching in stores, for the right tv. I finally found it. I truely think this is a beatiful tv. It's somewhat pricey, but well worth it. I regret, not a day, ever since I purchesed this tv. I was interested in plasma's, as well as lcd's. The Sony lcd XBR was the best I saw, but, I can't afford a $3000 tv, so this was the very next best. Really it all depends on what you see and what ...

Great TV, but know it's stretching capabilities.
Bought this television a few days ago after a great deal of research. Basically, I bought it for gaming (X-box 360 Elite with HDMI) and DVDs. Gears of War is BEAUTIFUL on this television. The many inputs also help make it a winner. Widescreen DVDs also look great.
However, I have to cite one major flaw. Unless I am missing something, this television is extremely lacking in its ability to stretch full screen DVDs into widescreen. I used to have DLP Toshiba that had the option to stre...

Beautiful HD picture
People who do the research always come up with the Sony SXRD as the best way to get a large picture for the money. When you watch a true HD broadcast the picture is breathtaking -- I must have said "wow" a hundred times the first week I had it.
But everything depends on the source. There are only 11 or 12 HD channels on my cable now, and the picture quality varies among them. And some of the non-HD channels look dreadfully blurry in all of the screen modes. DVDs played with up-c...

Best bang for your buck. Period.
When you go to the movies, is the picture up on the screen really that sharp? Not really; you are seeing an image that started out the size of a 35mm frame of film enlarged many times. However, if you sit far enough back, the screen looks great. That why I bought a rear projection TV. Using projection technology, it gives a very film-like picture, at least from DVD material or better. And while there has been some criticism of the primary color reproduction on this set, what is far more importan...

Excellent HDTV but poor PC Input port
Overall this is an excellent projection HDTV. I have rated it a "3" so people would focus on an annoying feature of the TV.. But first.
As a 50 inch projection HDTV, the system has been excellent. I have it attached to an indoor antenna. The system found all the digital channels and quickly programmed them. The user menu is pretty easy to use. The color, brightness, etc is fine out of the box. The remote makes it very easy to switch video modes (normal, full, zoom, etc). Soun...

Meets all expectations
I did a lot of research before buying. I almost bought the 50A2000 model but was worried about the infamous "green blob" problems. I saw no reports of the problem with the A2020 model so I decided to go for it.
DVDs and Blu-Ray movies look great. Even analog SD cable broadcasts look pretty good. Out of the box, the picture settings were way too high. I turned down the brightness, contrast and color quite a bit and am very pleased with the picture now. The set can produce a ver...

Amazon pricing and delivery is top notch
bought this TV for my HT centerpiece. Bought through Amazon for the best pricing and delivery in your living room. Beats everyone elses prices,and comes with 30 day price guarantee. Picture and features have already been discussed (also see 50a2000 sony reviews since its pretty much the same TV). If you are thinking of purchasing one, go to your local TV store and check it out, then order through Amazon for best prices and delivery service.
