5 out of 5 stars Absoloutly AWESOME! Best 1080P for the money period   May 10, 2008
Cory D. Wilson (Indianapolis, IN)

I first found this TV at Fry's electronics and immediately was blown away from the sleek design, picture and price. At that point in time it was $1200 but further research lead to finding it on here for under $1100 and even further research found if I went straight to ABT's site (the sell of the TV) the TV was $50 cheaper. I searched flat panels, DLP's, Plasma's, and this TV came to be the best bang for the buck period.

I say unless you are wanting a TV you can mount on the wall, you won't be disappointed with this thing. The viewing angle is the best I've seen for a projection TV. It gets a little darker when viewing it from the side, but it never seems to loose a lot of brightness at any angle. The TV is every bit as slim if not slimmer than Samsung's Ultra Slim DLP series. The Picture quality is hands down top notch and theres still a lot of tweaking that I need to do and I can achieve even a better picture. I've heard about delays in gaming that make gaming systems unplayable on certain TV's, but this one is not one of those TV's. Right now all I have is a Wii hooked up to it (hopefully a PS3 too within a month or so) and it looks and plays awesome. Hooked up my old HTPC to it and the picture is as clear as a monitor. Setup was very easy, as the TV uses the XMB (Xross media bar) and its designed for easy setup and instant fun straight out of the box. Don't have money for a home theater System yet? Well neither did I, and I can honestly say the speakers on this TV are top notch and unbelievable. Definitely the best set of TV speakers I've ever heard!

If there are any cons I can only think of one and thats that since its a rear projection TV (and not LED based) it uses a projection lamp thats rated for 8000 hours. Now I did the math and that basically means your lamp will most likely last 3-4 years for an average person, or 333 days straight if you just leave it on all the time, but eventually your still going to have to deal with it and its an average of $200 for another lamp. I knew that before I bought the TV so I guess in that aspect its not a con.



5 out of 5 stars Great TV   May 3, 2008

Sony is closing out their line of LCD rear projection TVs to focus on Plasma screens. They are offering great deals on their KDF Bravia line. I bought mine through Amazon with free shipping. The TV itself has an excellent picture and good sound quality. Unless you really need a thin TV to mount on the wall, this HDTV is an outstanding bargain. Where else would you get Sony quality, a 46 inch screen, the Bravia engine, and 1080p resolution at a price like this?


5 out of 5 stars GREAT TV AND CUSTOMER SERVICE   March 28, 2008
JAMES (Shelby, Ohio)
My old 27" TV finally gave out after 14 years. I started looking at the new widescreen sets and decided on a 42-50" screen size. I had to learn about 720,1080, HD, LCD, DLP, Plasma, rear projection. I looked at TV's for 2 months and decided on the 46" Sony rear projection. I wanted to buy online but most online retailers had 10% of their customers unhappy with their purchase. I decided to buy from Amazon as I had a couple transactions from them I was unhappy about and they made it right with me. Their price was also low on this TV. So I ordered the TV and it was delivered by a local air freight company in 1 week. I am happy about the quick delivery and also the TV is AWSUM! For the money I spent on this 46" Sony I would of only got a 40" plasma set. The plasma sets may have a slightly better picture but not much. This Sony has great audio also. I would recommend this TV and also Amazon for their customer service.

I have had this TV for a week and I absolutely love it!! The picture is outstanding and the PS3 games are unreal! There is absolutely nothing wrong with this TV. Sony has quit making rear projection TV's as of February to focus on pure LCD, so get one while you can!


5 out of 5 stars Best television in price range   January 14, 2008

I have had this television for about 3 months. It used mainly for watching movies but the kids like watching cartoons on it also and even the regular cable doesn't look that bad. I own a Toshiba HD A-30 HD DVD player that is capable of sending a 1080p/24 signal which this tv is capable of displaying. The picture is perfect. I have not needed to tweak any of the settings for colors. The only settings I change are on my HD player depending on if the movie is HD or standard DVD. The viewing angle is fine. Some people freak out cause you can't see the picture if you are sitting at a 179 degree angle from the tv, but who does that? That spec is useless to use to determine how good a tv is if you are not realistically going to be viewing from that angle. All in all it is a great tv for the price. The other Bravia series which are $1000 more for the same size are not worth it in my opinion.
