Product Description

3LCD Chips --- The 3LCD technology at the heart of Sony's Grand WEGA televisions provide a bright picture, with high detail and natural color. These three key benefits are immediately apparent when viewing a Grand WEGA TV. You can expect to see an incredibly detailed picture with eye-popping colors. Sony uses three tiny LCD chips (0.73) with a combined resolution of over 2.76 million pixels. The light from a high output UHP lamp shines into a filtering system that splits the beam into red, green, and blue light streams. Each color goes through its own LCD chip, which passes or blocks the light. The three beams are then instantaneously recombined and sent to the projection lens. WEGA Engine System --- The WEGA Engine¿ system is the core video processing system that was designed based on Sony's expertise and long heritage in bringing cutting-edge picture quality to TVs for consumers. Its fully digital signal-processing path includes video processing functions that have been designed and optimized using Sony's video experience to improve overall picture quality.

5I never thought I'd buy a Sony...
By Kevin Nicholls
...but after seeing this model in stores, I had to have it.I had been on the fence between the (slightly) less expensive Samsung DLP televisions, and some low-end 42" plasma televisions in the same price range. I spent a couple of weeks researching forums, checking out different models in different stores and playing around with the display controls, and waiting to see how prices changed with different sales. Each time, the Sony KDF-XXE2000 (different stores had different sizes) came out ahead.The factors that really pushed me over were:1) Knowing that the bulb could be replaced for about $150 if you look around online (you can't fix a dim plasma TV at all).2) There was imperceptible lag (DLP sets are notorious for delays between the picture and audio), and3) The picture quality was far more natural.When I got this home, I connected it to a DirecTV HD receiver, an Xbox 360, a progressive scan DVD player, and a cheap set of rabbit ear antennas that I had laying around in my garage. I was delighted to find that regular 4:3/480i channels looked great -- which is a very serious concern when buying any HDTV. The DirecTV HD channels looked amazing, as expected, and the Xbox 360 was nothing short of jaw-dropping. Even my DVD's looked stellar, compared to my old Panasonic Tau. What really surprised me was that I could get HD channels with the rabbit ears. The SD channels barely came in at all (as usual), but the HD channels were razor-sharp, and had next to no dropouts or artifacts, which leads me to believe that the tuner in this set is well above average.The only thing I don't like (and I can't believe I'm saying this) is the number of inputs. Switching from OTA to the first component input takes five "clicks" on the remote. I'm sure there's a way around this, but it isn't obvious.As far as the "screen door effect" or "silk screen effect" that some allege exist on all projection sets, I can say that I've looked hard, and this model doesn't seem to suffer from either. Keep in mind though, this isn't the sort of TV you want to sit three feet away from when you're playing video games.Only your eyes can tell you which set is really best for you. I wouldn't suggest spending as much time as I did, but you really should go to a "big box" store and compare televisions for yourself. That said, I'm willing to bet that this one will make the top of your list.10/11/2006 Update: I don't know why this isn't possible with the included remote from Sony, but the Logitech Harmony remotes are able to tell the TV which input to go to, without cycling through *all* of the inputs. Now I've finally reached home theater nirvana.

5Projection is the way to go!
By Dale E. Hopkins, II
After having shopped and tested widescreen televisions for the last year, I finally settled on this model. I was rather disappointed in the flat panel plasma televisions (potential life of only five years??!!) and LCDs and the rather artifact laden pictures they produced. I started looking at projection televisions (DLP and the like).I discovered that these televisions were not suceptible to burn-in like the flat panels. What that means is that you don't have to stretch the picture to fill the entire screen, which distorts a traditional picture image and makes everyone look shorter and wider. You can keep the aspect ratio as it was intended and not worry about the black bars at the side of the picture leaving permanent ghost-like bars on the screen.Another plus to this set is that the picture producing bulb, which lasts approximately 6000 hours can be changed by the owner and at little cost ($150). This beats the pants off of having to buy a new plasma television set every 5-years!The picture is amazing and the colour is vivid. It produces standard television signals fairly well, which was a surprise. We've discovered that certain channels and certain programmes manage to generate a better picture than others but it's fine enough. What really wows us is the HD stations and our progressive scan DVD player. The picture pops and you really feel like you have your own cinema in your living room. You have to adjust the picture to your liking and, if you don't have any experience with HDTVs, you'll likely be making adjustments for up to a month after you get it. You just discover different settings as you "play" with it. Oh, the "silk-screen" effect previous reviewers have mention is akin to the effect you'd get on a pristine movie screen at a cinema.The internal sound on the set is fine and there are a variety of options that reproduce the sound nicely. Chances are pretty good that these speakers will never get use as most people will hook such a set up to a surround system anyhow.There are numerous hook-ups in the back for VCR, DVD, Computer and video games. You shouldn't run out of inputs. There is also a few additional ports on the side of the set for easy access (PC or plug and play games).We love this set and it's brought us a lot of joy. Granted, some things could look better on this set, but it is in the way the original signal was sent. I've talked to a few flat panel owners about specific DVDs or cable shows and it's been confirmed that it is not something exclusive to this set.For its size, this set is incredibly light and easily moved for cleaning or plugging in new components.

5Motion blur, what motion blur???
By Jacob S.
I've read in many reviews on this site where people state they notice motion blur. I've watched a bunch of football games and played tons of xbox 360 on this sucker and I can't fathom how anyone can notice any motion blur. This tv is incredible and the best bang for the buck I've found yet. The colors are vibrant and just pop off the screen. The built in hd tuner picks up hd channels off of my basic cable. The favorites feature on the remote lets you seamlessly navigate hd-non hd channels. So for with hd-dvd and blu ray source material this tv looks outstanding.
