Stay away from rear projection Televisions
they are not covered by the same warranty guarantees that standard tv's carry--- a glinch in the law about the length of time that an electronics supplier has to provide parts for them could leave you with an extremely costly paper weight in the matter of three or four years !! This very thing happened to me not too long ago !!
Get the LCD--- you will get excellent service and a beautiful picture and should anything ever go wrong with it--- you will be guaranteed parts for it will be available for at least 12 years !!!

I would go either way, but only on certain models. If you are set on Sony, there is Sony's SXRD rear projection series which are all in 1080P. There should be a 55" and a 60" available. If it is an LCD, Sony has their 46XBR2 and the 46v2500(I believe that's the model). Both of those are 1080P as well. Many of these people are right about the rear projection tv's. The bulbs in these tv's have a life rating of 4-6,000 hours. However, under Best Buy's service plan, they actually come to your house to get the tv, install a new bulb, and bring it back for you. The catch is that it's only a 4 year plan, and you can only redeem the bulb once.

I have the 60" SXRD and love it. It was much cheaper than going with a LCD screen, which would have been my other choice. My wife was a bit concerned at spending so much on a TV, but any concerns immediately evaporated when I popped in a DVD. I personally don't like plasma screens - they look fuzzy to me. I'm also among the minority who can see the color cycling in DLP, so to me, white fields look sort of bluish or purplish. So for me, it was either LCD or Rear-Projection. The only downside to the SXRD is that since it is a rear-projection TV, you will need to eventually replace the lamp bulb which will run about $250-300. The bulb should last you 2-5 years, depending on usage.

I have a 42" Sony HDTV LCD Grand Wega. I spent a lot of time going over all theoptions, and that is the result. Nothing else could even come close. I have HD/Digital Cable Box & I get a good picture. The Grand Wega engine in it is an interface that gives good resolution in Digital or HD. That's my best choice. The CRT TVs are pretty well on the out.

LCD's bite if you go to an electronics store you will see that LCD's start to lose picture quality if your not right in front of the screen.
