Review
I bought an older Sony Grand Wega 54 inch Monitor a few years ago; and was pleased with the quality.
This 50 inch model with 1080p (Manufacture Date - December 2006) blows the general flat panel tv’s away. Plus, I found the viewing angle to be better than the Bravia rear projections of the same size.
Won this one on ebay last week, from a local affiliate - in like new condition; with a 2 year squaretrade warranty (bargain rate). TV fan is very quiet. PQ excellent with various sources… regular cable TV via coax looks well… 1080i digital channels crisp; BD player has outstanding presentations. As a former theater projectionist; I am very pleased with the 50 inch SXRD 1080p Grand Wega (rear projection)! Cost with tax and two year warranty included: $1100.
