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...

Summary: Good Alternative to Large CRT Screen
Review: While shopping for a large screen television, I had considered the 32" and 36" Sony WEGAs. However, this 43" Sony projection TV had key advantages over the CRT WEGAs.KP-43 Advantages: Thinner (shallower depth) than the 36" WEGA; Lighter (about 100 lbs) than the 36" WEGA; and Larger screen viewing area (43" vs 36"). CRT Advantages: Wider viewing angle (both vertical and horizontal); and Shorter minimum viewing distance. Although the KP-43 projection TV has a larger screen, it is lighter and can be moved more easily. It also is a good choice for apartments or other smaller living spaces. If picture quality is critical to you, then you should be aware that you may lose detail in the shadows since the black levels do not seem to be reproduced as consistently or accurately as a professional monitors. To calibrate your TV for your viewing environment, I recommend renting the "Video Essentials" DVD. In general, you may need to decrease the PICTURE (contrast), BRIGHTNESS, and SHARPNESS settings to achieve the best picture quality. With the factory settings, you may notice blooming and additional noise. You may also notice all the noise from traditional cable and broadcast signals. Therefore, you may wish to subscribe to digital services. There is a single component video input on the TV, which may not be enough if you have digital cable and a DVD player. You may need a separate component video switcher to accommodate multiple component video sources, or you could sacrifice some picture quality and use S-Video connections instead.

Summary: This is a winner !!!
Review: WoW! That's what I said when I saw them uncrating this TV on the retail floor. I had completed my purchase for a high end 36" tube tv. I went home that evening and called the salesperson to cancel the delivery. I went back to the store the next day and purchased this hot new Sony 43" projection tv. It is far less deep, weighs less, and is even .5" less wide than the 36" t.v. The sound is great. The picture is great, and it even has a pretty wide viewing angle.
