Strengths:
Picture with all input sources. Sound quality
Weaknesses:
Have to scroll through all video inputs even it they are not hooked up. Remote does not control all features of other sony products (vcr/dvd).
Summary:
I spent a lot of time researching HDTV products in stores and on websites. I narrowed my search to DLP and LCD rear projection technology. I chose LCD because I felt the picture was sharper and the colors better on the LCD. I do not see the screen door effect on the LCD, nor do I see the rainbow effect on DLP that others have mentioned. I chose sony over panasonic (i have the 42" model) because to my eye the sony had the better overall picture. I have only had the tv for a couple of days so I can't speak about reliability, but I can tell you that the picture with an HD signal is INCREDIBLE.
I hooked the tv directly to the cable input without a cable box. The built in tuner tuned all available channel including broadcast HDTV. You would expect the HD channels to look great, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that even the analog channels look very good. I have also hooked the tv up to a progressive scan dvd player(sony also). The picture quality and sound are outstanding.
The menu system is fairly comprehensive and relatively easy to navigate. I am sure it is no different than any other tv of this type and requires time to get used to it. My only complaint is that you have to scroll through all video inputs to find the one you want. I only have three out of eight hooked up, and you can only scroll one way.
So far we are very pleased with the tv. I understand that the lamp life is questionable (I was told DLP is the same) but you will be amazed at the picture quality with HD and other inputs as well.
Be wary buying on line. I had a problem with one trying to add additional fees after placing an on line order. I ended up buying at Howard's (sourthern CA) for about $100-150 over on line vendors without the hassle. Hope this helps. Good luck shopping |

just wanted to correct this user's weakness comment... if user reads the manual it's a simple procedure to skip over any input not needed or wanted. Most sets of this caliber allow this

CMCFFPM,
You can disable the video inputs that are not in use so it skips this when scrolling through.
