I had a 53" Hitachi and replaced it with this television. Don't let anyone tell you that Hitachi has a better picture than Sony. That's a flat out lie. The reason that I bought the Hitachi in the first place was because a salesman told me it had the...

Everything. Picture quality is awesome. Features are superb. This television is very small for the size of the screen. Sound is also very good

The only thing I don't like about this TV is that you can't enable television's speakers and have audio out at the same time. Not a big deal though

A Disappointment

 

While the set performed well, after 40 months of ownership my set has been diagnosed with a failing blue tube. For my 11/02 production set, blue tubes are no longer available from Sony, so my set which I paid $2,500+ for, is essentially worthless. Had ...

Good picture while it worked, good 4:3 to 16:9 adaptation.

A premium priced product with an under 4 year life span
