Until last week, I had a 57" Sony, rear-screen projection and loved it. It lasted approx. 6 years; repairs on bulbs, etc., were pretty much cost-prohibitive. (It has 3 bulbs, and to replace them, it's fairly pricey.)

That mine only lasted 6 years isn't at all indicative of how long one can last; I know several people and theirs are still up-n-running just fine.

I now have a 47" Philips, and my opinion of it isn't very favorable - at this point. If it's not the set that has something wrong, it could be that the TV is ahead of the technology on older Dish and dish receivers. The are upgrades available for the Dish and components yet Dish people have told me to make several calls to diff. departments to get the best deal.

We have a LG LCD and love it. LG is up and coming. I also have their washer and dryer. I do have a Mitsubishi and Hitachi rear projection large screen but they do not hold a candle to our LG.

We have both a Sony Plasma and a Sharp Aquos LCD.

IN the last few years Sony has dipped a bit in quality but brand name and preception has overidden that.

Pioneer is the best high end TV.

KNow that Samsung makes all the glass for the majority of all TVs made.

I have a brand new Samsung in my office and its fantastic!

Also check out Vizio they are new.

vizio. not sure of the size. the picture is great. easy to set up and use.

lots of extra ports to plug stuff in. can even plug my pc into it.

prices are really good at sams club and walmart.

I also have an Olevia for the living room. It's a great picture but the sound isn't so good. However, a good home theatre package should make up for it.

This is a bit off the TV topic but-
I'll add that I am having a very difficult time getting info from the SonyStyle.com people.
But it's not about a TV.

But from the lack of results on the issue I wouldn't recommend any Sony products. just my opinion at the moment

A large well known company like that should have much better customer service - IMO.

[watsonsh]

Yeah Sony is a very arrogant company. Look at how for their cameras you canonly use their photo cards. And about the PS3 console and the Blu ray player. Its all about them.

They used to make better products. Apple kicked their butt a while back on the audio products with the ipod.

I don't have one. They confuse me and I hear a lot of bad stuff, like that they give out (the plasma tvs) fast. They are very expensive so I am waiting to hear more positive stuff.

This post may be helpful as I read about what people here have.

We just bought a LCD 40 inch Toshiba.

Our preference has always been Sony but because we wanted to keep the current large all wood TV cabinet we were limited.

Sony and Toshiba were both 40 inch however because of the extra casing around the Sony it would not fit in our cabinet so that's how we ended up with the Toshiba - less casing, more slim-lined.
