This rear-projection TV rivals the quality of LCD and plasma.

not rich, DVR user, pc-user, tech geek, very happy with this product, noticing the details

Pros

several hdmi hookups, progressive scan, good audio output even w/o speakers, lets you know current resolution, good color even in bright lit room, excellent color contrast, light weight, sleek design, quiet (many tvs have buzzing noise), thin, great resolution even on non-hd programs

2007

After months of trying to play Guitar Hero on a 27" tube tv, my boyfriend and I decided it was time for an upgrade. We spent a long time looking at LCDs, plasmas, and rear-projection DLPs. After weighing the pros and cons of each type (plasmas had image burn danger, but beautiful colors; LCDS had slow response time in gaming, but a slim design; and rear-projection tvs have a burdensome thickness, but virtually no danger of image burn or slow response time) we decided that a rear-projection was right for our needs. (We need gaming capabilities, and I have a tendency to leave the tv on pause for hours.) We looked at all the rear-projections on the market, and you couldn't ask for anything better than the Sony "Bravia". It's less 13" wide at the base, which is incredible for a rear-projection, and it has the most beautiful display I've seen. Its picture looks great even on non-hd programming, thanks to some new BRAVIA engine technology. The only con? I haven't been able to leave the couch for days...

This sounds like a great TV. We are sticking with the rear projection TV's as well. I've been told that Plazmas don't last very long. Enjoyed your review. Take care, Rae
