Rating: Summary: Poor craftsmanship Review: I only had this TV for 8 months, when the picture went on me. I had spent the extra $300 to have in home service, but it was too broke to be repaired in home. It took the repair shop THREE weeks to fix it. Besides the fact that I only had the TV for 7 months, according to the nameplate data it was only 9 months old.
Rating: Summary: I want one Review: I saw it last week at a local retailer, I was ready to get a 36" Vega XBR at the Sony outlet store for the same price,then I saw this. The picture is 95% as good as the Vega, but much more screen ( I watch ALOT of letterboxed movies). As soon as I can find it on sale I am getting it.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Choice Review: I was recently in the market for a larger screen TV set. The 32 to 36 screen was going to be the perfect size given my family room deminsions. I was considering the Sony WEGA XBR, Toshiba, and Misubishi. Then one day as I walked through one of the retail stores in my area, I saw the Sony 43' Rear Projection Set. The compact size, the Larger Viewing Screen, Picture Quality, Enhance Digital Features and The Price, were very impressive. My search was over. It's been a week since the TV was delivered to my home and I can truly say that it has been a wonderful experience.There are a couple of things to be aware of: * Getting all the components connected can take a little time. * Limited space in the Stand for adding components. Overall I think Sony 43' is a great investment if your considering 32 to 36" TV's. You'll get excellent picture quality at a better price point.

Rating: Summary: Poor craftsmanship Review: My husband and I were looking at 32 or 36 inch tv's and notagreeing on anything. Then we both saw this tv at the same time. Iwas still a bit leary about projection tv's but the picture quality is excellent. Even old black and white movies are picture perfect. We are both extreemly happy with this tv. The size is perfect for apartment living. We highly recommend this television! END

Rating: Summary: good quality- fair price Review: The Sony 43in. projection TV is a good unit to look at. It does seem hard to get, as most TV stores and retailers are out of stock. The picture is sharp, clear and almost at times real. However the picture does seem sensitive to noise (lines, snow). But for watching a DVD or video presentation I cannot think of another set I have seen as that is as good. The set is in a nice, compact case, and the cabinet (extra, fits under the TV) available has room for a DVD, VCR, Tuner, and Cable Box, making all of those components fit in a neat presentation, without, wires and boxes hanging off the set. I would recommend to anyone who wants a good quality set look into this one, if you can find it!
Rating: Summary: Studio dwellers - there is hope! Review: This is a GREAT TV! The picture (depending on source) is phenomenal. The size (video picture and physical object) does not overwhelm you. The TV can be viewed comfortably without being on a TV stand. The design of the TV & remote is excellent. I had an opportunity to view this model in a store, and my eyes were drawn to its picture quality (and I had to remind myself of its physical size). This TV fits well in a room size 13x13. It can be viewed comfortably even sitting a couple of feet from it. There are five picture modes, 2 of which can be programmed to the viewer's preference. Because of its size, widescreen movies are enjoyable (before, when choosing a video as either VHS or DVD, I would pick VHS if the DVD was in widescreen format). There are 4 video displays, three of which can be programmed to accept 8 different components. Sony has included a lot of programming choices in this model. Connecting a receiver, VCR and DVD (and getting them to work) took about 4 hours. The TV needs to be off when connecting a component. Each component should be added one at a time, rather than plugging & connecting everything at once and then turning the TV on. Apparently the TV needs to 'read' each component before it's recognized. The manual was somewhat confusing (because there are usually 2 to 4 combinations to use), but after a component was added you just follow from the previous example for additional components. P.S.: the more components you add, the more every cable & power cord needs to be labeled. The remote is comfortable to handle. There are problem with it though: 1) in order to use a component, more than just one button needs to be pressed; 2) you still need to use the remote that came with the component. This can easily replace a 27-inch to 36-inch TV. It weights ~150 pounds and the footprint is small (20 D x 37 W x 42 H). As the source of the picture increases in quality, especially from the local TV stations, this model will be enjoyed more and more. Then a viewer will have a true movie experience at home. I chose this TV based on: 1) picture quality; 2) video size & physical size; 3) design; 4) price [remember what you paid for your current computer? It will outlast it! ] If you can find a vendor, buy it! Do not wait! It will be the best investment!
Rating: Summary: Just Simply Amazing Review: This Projection T.V. Is simply put inone word incredible. The picture is so crisp and clear you will swear you are watching a tube T.V. If you can find one of these T.V. buy it. There is nothing out there that will match up to it.
Rating: Summary: WEGA -who needs them! Review: What a great buy! If you're in the market for a WEGA T.V or anything over 32 in you have to take a look at this set. I just bought one month ago and it's been everything I could have asked for. It's lighter than the WEGA, so it's easier to move and thinner so it's better for display. Despite all this it has a bigger screen and picture is great, unless you're watching 20 hours of TV you're not going to be able to tell the difference between this set and WEGA...
