"This TV is all it claims to be...Awesome!!!"
Pros: Sharp edges, clear bold picture, enomorous presence in our 15 x 30 den, all the details from packaging to menu operation are well thought out and easy. From football to baseball no motion blur. Don't be afraid of this rear projection technology.
Cons: Finding the right piece of quality furniture to set this on.
Summary: I have always been reluctant to buy a new product in its first production year. I have read all the tech blogs and all the reviews I could stand. Everything that was good about this TV I have found to be true and the few negative things have either been corrected or were based on user ignorance or product mishandling. My wife and I unboxed and set up within 30 minutes. Autoprogram and started watching our first HDTV on local channels. The menu format was better than our two previous Sony's. Never used the manual to set up. Issues we had read about such as cutting off on its own, dark corners, frame warpage, and various residual color spots were non existant. As with all previous TVs you need to adjust picture to your room and the amount of light you normally have. We have direct and indirect sunlight from several sides. No problems with glare on screen. The issue of this technology having less field of vision than LCD or plasma, though true is not really an issue for us. Most people set in the middle 50 to 60 degrees of viewing not int he 5 to 10 degrees on the outer edge. I feel that this issue has been blown out of proportion in an attempt to find something undesireable to say about this TV. Sales and political ads are usually bs. This an UNBELIEVABLE VALUE 61" of clear, bold, LCD quality for $ 1700. Shop hard and regular for a good deal. WE bought online and picked up at C City last week with a walk out of $ 1705. (8.25 % sales tax included) Sale price and 10% coupon. If your smart and have been saving up to PAY CASH for your first HDTV this is the best value in the market place.
