Product Description
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.

rated 1 out of 5 Optical block problem
by Mike P. from New Jersey, 2008-09-07


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.



rated 1 out of 5 18 months old and it's gonna cost a fortune to fix
by An Avid Reader of PolySci from The Great Southwest, 2008-01-30


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.



rated 4 out of 5 My 3rd Sony LCDRP-HDTV
by Jeffrey Shapiro from Hollywood, FL, 2007-12-24


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.
