Hi, im thinking about selling my current LCD TV to get a bigger one... Im really wanting to try and spend no more than 1300 bucks with a min of a 42" screen that can display atleast up to 1080i... I was searching around and found this Sony for sell at circuit city for a price in my range.. Do you feel this is a good buy. Or does anyone recomend any HDTV's out there for around my price range.. Thanks. http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Sony...57550/catOid/-12867/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do Sony 46" LCD Projection TV (KDF-46E2000) 46" LCD rear-projection HDTV: Experience the breathtaking clarity of big-screen HDTV broadcasts with the integrated ATSC tuner.

Improved picture: The unique WEGA Engine™ converts all signals to digital format for improved resolution, color and contrast.

Other picture enhancements include Cinema Black Pro, which strengthens black levels for an overall richer picture, and Advanced Iris, which adjusts the picture to compensate for dark TV scenes or bright room lighting.

First of all that TV is not in your price range if u don't want 2 pay any more than 1300 because it is 1400. Secondly it looks pretty ghastly imo....although perhaps aesthetics don't matter 2 you much. I have 1 of the new Samsung HD LCD's which you can rotate 2 point 1 different areas of my appartment which is useful when cooking in the kitchen etc... I suppose it comes down 2 what u want it for. I couldn't b happier with my Samsung TV tho its said 2 have a 6000:1 static contrast ratio & the picture is so perfectly crystal clear. I have had a bad history with Sony products I bought 2 MD's players from them a few years back & vowed never again 2 give them my custom. Sony is just marked up junk IMO. (hyperbole) Good luck.
Well thanks for your opinion ally.. But I can get this TV for my price range... I don't have to purchase it at circuit city.. Thats just where I first found the TV. Their site has a good picture and specs of it.. Here is a site that sells the exact same TV for 1,229.50. http://authorizedelectronics.stores.yahoo.net/sokdfrsh11.html I don't have to go with sony.. Just looking for recomendations from others.. I guess I could work around the price a little though if needed...
Hello again, ICON007! I have a similar model but one year older: http://www.epinions.com/pr-Sony_Gra...ear_Projection_Television/display_~full_specs It really is an awesome TV and I don't regret buying it for a moment. I did a great deal of comparison shopping when I bought it and it had the best pic by far. I would actually agree the mine, anyway, is clumsy looking but damn, what a picture! My only regret is that I didn't shell out a little more and get the 50 or 55 inch....Gerry
