 Optical block problem September 7, 2008
Unfortunately after owning this set for 18 months, it has developed a blue haze in the upper right and upper left corners of the screen. It seems that this issue has appeared in several Sony rear proj. LCD models including this one. It's very expensive to repair and seems to stem from dust infiltration which is inevitable. The cost of repair exceeds half of the origainal purchase price. Lamps are expensive as well. Perhaps a full LCD set would be a better choice (i.e. Sharp or Vizio) with no moving parts.
 After 6 months, we're still in love with the picture February 9, 2008

This was one of our family's better purchases. The picture is stunning, especially with the right components like an HDMI DVD player hooked up to it (would love to see BlueRay), and an HD cable box, and (my son would say) a Nintendo Wii! We've had so much fun playing games at life size, and watching movies and sports that I really do feel like I've gotten an excellent bargain. The tech specs: it's easy to set up and create custom settings (I recommend using a video like 'Finding Nemo' that has a set-up guide for video and audio on it), it shows a picture quickly enough when turned on, and as long as you don't clean it with something that removes the anti-glare coating it has a pretty decent viewing angle for a rear-projection TV. I use a surround sound system so I'd look to another review if you're curious about its sound quality. One concern I had was that I would regret not going with a plasma or LCD, but I've had zero regrets - great tv! You can't go wrong, especially as they drop in price.
18 months old and it's gonna cost a fortune to fix January 30, 2008

we bought this Sony in July of 06 and now (Jan-08) we have ghosting color bands at the top of the screen that have doubled in size in less than a month. the closest Sony tech is 70+ miles away and I have to haul it up there, pay him $225 and pray it's the Optical Block that's the issue which should still be under warranty (we hope). This is the second Sony projection TV that has died in under 5 years. Shame on me for getting this one. Guess Bush's 'stimulus' will be going to a new TV! don't get one, you'll end up paying for it. just google 'Sony optical block' and you'll see what I'm talking about.
My 3rd Sony LCDRP-HDTV December 24, 2007
I originally bought my first 42" Sony LCDRP-HDTV for about $1100.00. Then 1 year later I picked up the next generation for $698.88. Now I just got my 3rd but a 50" Sony LCD-RPTV (HD). These sets are the best value PERIOD. I was considering getting a Sony 40" LCD 1080p TV but it was like $1600.00. Along with the fact my wife likes to have the Subtitles on and on the regular LCD TVs the type is very jagged. I watch a lot of movies (blu-ray) along with playing a lot of video games. All I can tell you is watching Blu-Rays (even at just 1080i) which this set displays is mind blowing in quality! I have had these sets for over 2 years with no issues, and I keep buying more. I challenge anyone to find a set for $698.00 (which is what I paid for this 50" NEW) Sony has the best picture BAR NONE.

I just bought this gem for $698.88!!!!!!! There simply is no better set for the money!!!
Update 5/4/08: After having this set for 6 months I can honestly say I love it more than ever before. I haven't had a single issue and it does everything I could ask for. I found a rta stand that fits (and looks) like factory. Color, sound....it's all incredible.
