Editorial Review :

3LCD Chips --- The 3LCD technology at the heart of Sony's Grand WEGA televisions provide a bright picture, with high detail and natural color. These three key benefits are immediately apparent when viewing a Grand WEGA TV. You can expect to see an incredibly detailed picture with eye-popping colors. Sony uses three tiny LCD chips (0.73) with a combined resolution of over 2.76 million pixels. The light from a high output UHP lamp shines into a filtering system that splits the beam into red, green, and blue light streams. Each color goes through its own LCD chip, which passes or blocks the light. The three beams are then instantaneously recombined and sent to the projection lens. WEGA Engine System --- The WEGA Engine¿ system is the core video processing system that was designed based on Sony's expertise and long heritage in bringing cutting-edge picture quality to TVs for consumers. Its fully digital signal-processing path includes video processing functions that have been designed and optimized using Sony's video experience to improve overall picture quality.

My 3rd Sony LCDRP-HDTV

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.

Optical block problem

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.

18 months old and it's gonna cost a fortune to fix

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.

optical block on all these tv's will go out.

Please be warned - all rear projection tv's by sony will cost you 1.2k to replace this part. They will not fix it.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?!?!?!

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.

It's a scam.....

The product doesn't include the housing as the pictures shows. I bought this from samsung parts and they didn't mention it was just the buld without the the housing. It's a rip off be aware.

product fine service lousy

I bought the lamp it was easy to use it did not solve my problem and was a big waste of money. I should have just taken it to a service shop to find out what all was wrong with it instead of wasting my money. Service was lousy. I ordered the product it was suppose to be here 8 days later. It was not even shipped for 3 weeks. I do not plan to use Amazon again.

So easy, even YOU can do it !!!

The original lamp lasted about 4 years. This OEM SONY lamp came from VANN'S. Fast shipping with no issues. Installation was simple. My TV is like NEW!! This product includes the entire assembly. Next time I may consider purchasing just the bulb and reusing the old assembly.

Sony replacement Lamp

The Sony Replacement Lamp,

I wish I knew more about the Lamp before buying the housing etc, Cheaper to just replace the Lamp instead of purchasing the housing..If I had the expertise to install the lamp only that would save a lot of money!
I am pleased with the Lamp and hopefully I won't have to replace for another couple of years..a good product and expensive add on from Sony as a support product..
