Sony KP-53S75 53" Projection TV (Gray)

Summary: good pip
Review: I have been thinking about buying a Big Screen for the last 6 months. After previewing the Sony and comparing it to other brands, particularly the HDTVs it was a great buy. I have digital cable and I find that I do not notice much difference between a digital picture signal and a DVD picture (connected with S-Video). The sound is pretty good as well. The only drawback is that the vertical viewing angles are poor (i.e., picture seriously fades when you are standing or laying on the floor and within ~6' feet from the TV (assuming this is typical of most non-HD projection models). However, the horizontal angles are very good and the picture is excellent when you are at eye level (i.e., sitting position on a chair,sofa,...etc).

Given the limited HD programs that are available on cable at this time and the significant premium of HDTVs, this is an outstanding value...

Review: This is a good midrange 53" with extra inputs.

The PIP (picture in picture) is especially well implemented
