Excellent TV
(5 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Nov 26, 1999Looked at many projection TVs and came across this one. This is an excellent TV that shows off the capability of DVDs. The quality of sharpness, color and brightness makes this TV look like a tube. Instead of going out to the movies, buy this and watch them in your home. My only gripe is I wish Sony would made a wide screen projection version of this TV. Speaker quality is OK, and can be used as a center channel in a surround sound system.

Crystal Clear
(5 out of 5) by Chris Wheeler (pinepost24@aol.com) on Nov 11, 1999 (Highlands Ranch, Colorado)Do you want a good analog projection tv? Well you've come to the right one. The sony 48" 53" and 61" television's are the best on the market. Crystal clear picture, Two rear component video inputs, Split screen picture in picture with two 27" pictures, Channel surf picture in picture with 27" screen in middle and thirteen smaller pictures around. Automatic color convergance, Ditigal comb filter, Screen saver, and much much more. This is definately my television of choice.

Spectacular Big Screen
(5 out of 5) by Lorin Williams on Jan 10, 2000 (Aschaffenburg, Germany)This is by far the best Big Screen out there. The Picture is like your watching a normal television. If you are looking for a big screen and don't want to spend a fortune. This is the big screen for you.

Nice picture / simple controls / great TV
(5 out of 5) by Wayne Schulz on Apr 13, 2000 (Glastonbury, CT USA)This was my first large screen tv purchase and I was a little apprehensive that the picture might fade from view as you move side to side.
The Sony has no fade that I have been able to see. It has a clear picture -- similar to looking at a regular "tubed" TV.
The only complaints I have are:
a) The remote control is very touchy. The large buttons stick out a ways and I'm always brushing up against them by accident.
b) The speakers seem a little underpowered. I don't know if these large screen tvs are meant to have external speakers, but I sometimes have trouble hearing the sound. The brilliant picture however makes up for this shortcoming.
I recommend this TV as a real solid purchase. Everyone who has come over remarks on how clear and nice the picture is.

sony 53" tv best there is
(5 out of 5) by Dorlette Mciver on Dec 31, 1999 (Warren, Ohio)I shopped around for various tv's and this one has everything in it that i need. I love the pip and the way that you can preview 13 other channels at one time. Sony has really made everything easy and right at your finger tips in this tv. And what a great price i got it for. You can't go wrong with this one.
