Let's be honest. This is one very high class television with all the bells and whistles. The picture it produces is incredible with either Digital Cable or HDTV signal, and is just as amazing when used with Optical, S-Video, or Progressive Scan component cables from a DVD/VCR. The clarity, brilliance, and color rendition is A+ through and through. You'd be hard pressed to find folks to disagree with that. The area where this TV gets dinged in the same for any large screen LCD, DLP, or Plasma unit - no one likes the low resolution analog delivery when a large widescreen is hooked up to a poor analog cable or worse still VHF or UHF non-digital signal. So make a commitment now that you are shopping for a big screen HDTV set-up. If you are willing to spend a couple of grand on a large screen high-end television, you should really give consideration to providing that television with a high-end signal. That means getting digital cable, satellite (digital signal), a house antenna for free over-the-air HDTV, and investing in a DVD/VCR that has the modern outputs. Do that and you are going to be in awe each night you settle in front of this television. Don't do it and you are going to settle for less than this television can provide.
I've owned this television for about one year now. I can tell you that it is highly impressive. The clarity and depth of the picture are astonishing and the brilliance is fantastic. Style-wise, okay, the newer model of this same system is more "modern" than this. Sound-wise, this system produces clear tones and great surround. I utilize this set with a home theatre set-up using Optical out from the TV and am immersed with sound. And I can say that playing Xbox on this set-up with the MS HD component cables is astoundingly realistic.
The really great features too are that this does have its own integrated ATSC tuner to decode the HD free over-the-air signals. And better still the no need for picture-in-picture when you can split the screen and watch them side-by-side (though you can't do that with two ATSC tuned stations - one has to be analog).
But probably the best perspective I can give you is that I treat the guests to my home who haven't yet seen such a high-end widescreen television to a bit of a test. I display for them the analog every day picture first in full 16:9 view and then in 4:3 standard. They instantly agree that analog in 16:9 is not sharp, and less appealing. Then I switch it over to a digital connection and they are back to being awed. Finally, I tune in an HDTV broadcast and everyone is absolutely mesmorized. During the Superbowl this year one of my party guests exclaimed, "Wow! I can see individual faces in the stadium seats when the cameras are watching the action on the field." Yes, I know. I get that enjoyment every single day when I power up the Sony 50". If you are seriously looking to get a big screen, this one is the absolute way to go! I'll leave the rest to argue over which is better, an LCD Projection, DLP, LCD flat panel, or Plasma. I already know. It's sitting in my entertainment center.

Sony Grand WEGA KDF-50WE655 50-Inch LCD Projection TV with Integrated HDTV Tuner Description
Sony's cutting-edge, 50-inch KDF-50WE655 LCD projection television is loaded with great features, from integrated NTSC and ATSC (HDTV) tuners to Sony's WEGA Engine system, digital cable readiness, and the latest digital-video interface, HDMI. The 86-pound LCD projection television is also easy to position, and its relatively modest chassis--standing under 18 inches deep--won't push you out of your house.
The set's liquid-crystal display frees you from having to make convergence adjustments or having to worry about image burn-in. Instead you get incredible detail (more than 3 million pixels), high contrast, and even, corner-to-corner brightness from the set's user-replaceable 100-watt UHP (ultra high pressure) lamp.
The screen features a wide, 16:9 aspect ratio to match the dimension of most movies and HDTV broadcasts, and the KDF-50WE655 offers compatibility with standard-definition 480i, enhanced-definition 480p, and high-definition 720p and 1080i signals. Sony's Digital Reality Creation (DRC) circuitry ensures high picture resolution, while proprietary Direct Digital Circuitry increases a video signal's signal-to-noise ratio before it reaches the DRC circuit, ensuring rich, natural-looking images from any source.
Sony's CineMotion 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal is a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. Digital video mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.
The set's WEGA Engine system maximizes picture performance from any video source by minimizing the number of digital-to-analog conversion processes. This full digital processing engine includes Sony's MID-X (Multi Image Driver), which maintains the integrity of a converted signal by minimizing image loss in the scaling process; and a proprietary optical engine, which employs a trio of Sony's wide-XGA, high-resolution LCD panels, 1 for each of the RGB signals (resulting in a total of 3.28 million dots of resolution).
The optical engine also features a special 11-element lens system responsible for the lightweight, ultra-slim cabinet. The lens system bends the light path, creating an ultra-short focal point while maintaining high brightness. This proprietary system delivers vivid images from the center of the screen all the way to the edges.
The set includes numerous other features.
- TwinView PIP (picture-in-picture) lets you view any 2 sources simultaneously, even at different image resolutions.
- A Memory Stick media slot (compatible with Memory Stick Pro and Memory Stick Duo media) grants convenient viewing of JPEG and MPEG-1 files. It can also display customized slide shows using MP3 files for background music.
- Channel Fix lets you select a specific TV channel (3, for example) for cable box reception. Then you can control a compatible cable box via the TV remote without inadvertently changing the TV from Channel 3.
- Authorized CableCARD ability means the set will receive digital cable television systems services directly from the cable operator without requiring a bulky, external cable box.
- Sony's exclusive S-Master 1-bit digital amplifier produces 15 watts per channel (x 2), ensuring high power for superb, clear dialog.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link the set with any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver). HDMI supports standard-definition (SD), enhanced definition (ED), or high-definition (HD) video, plus multichannel digital audio--all using a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports up to 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements.
