Product Description
Packaged in a compact, two-color exterior with subtly located speakers, the Grand WEGA 3LCD rear projection televisions feature high-detail picture quality, and deliver natural color reproduction and exceptional brightness levels thanks to 3LCD technology. And deep black levels along with outstanding contrast are hallmarks of the Cinema Black Pro function. Featuring enhanced connectivity via dual HDMI input and PC input through HDMI, Sony's Grand WEGA LCD projection televisions provide quality playback of nearly every connected device. 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. Unlike conventional line doublers, the DRC Multifunction feature replaces the signal's NTSC waveform with the HD equivalent, while doubling the number of vertical and horizontal lines. This results in four times the density for quality sources, such as DVD, satellite and digital camcorders. The Video Menu allows you to select interlaced, progressive or CineMotion output.

 Not Worth The Money Or The Hassle February 18, 2010
Ruth Frechette
We loved this TV when we first purchased it but... 3 years later, 2 replaced lamps, and over $300 spent for those lamps, the TV is now no longer working. In the end, not work the money or the hassle.
STAY AWAY FROM SONY REAR PROJECTION TV November 2, 2009
John P (Raleigh, NC USA)
I bought this TV new in 2007 for 1,200. Within 1 year I had to change the Lamp. Within 2 years the TV would not work and I was told that it would cost 500 to repair. I did some investigating online and found out the rear projections made by Sony were always breaking down. i.e.Lamp housing melting (MELTING!!!)etc...They were so bad that Sony had to add extended warranties on certain parts found in these products after enough people complained. Finally Sony stopped making rear projection TVs all together. I have had Sony products for 30 years and have never experienced anything like this.
Sony will not honor their obvious design flaws and failed attempts to make a reliable product.
As one TV tech put it " they are still trying to catch up with the new technology". That tells me they are experimenting with my money and that doesnt sit well with me.
SORRY SONY YOU LOST A GREAT CUSTOMER!!

Purchased 11/06 and has performed flawlessly. Have PS3, PC, VCR, DVD bridged thru to Bose audio system. Viewing angle is pretty good, dims a little when greater than 45 degrees off center. Next one to be Sharp Aqueos as they have a better picture.
GREAT TV UNTIL YOU REPLACE LAMP July 26, 2008
Gegory C. Hall (TN)
We loved the Sony KDF-46E2000 until 2 weeks ago. The projection lamp needed replacing. I purchased a new one and replaced it. Tv came on for about 10 minutes then wouldn't come back on. I had 3 blinking red lights on power button. I contacted Sony and they said the lamp door was not on right. I checked and it was. So I called a tv repair man. They came out and fixed the activor switch. 140.00. Tv then had a red band at top of screen. Contacted Sony again. They told me to take it to a certified Sony repairman. The problem is there are no Sony repairman in my area. They are 2 hours away. After arguing with Sony they finally offered me a new tv for a discounted rate. A 1599.99 tv for 768.00. But I already spend 300.00 for new bulb and repair service. The engine light is failing on the KDF-46E2000. TV is only 16 months old. Very disappointed. So don't try to change projection bulb without a repairman.
 I should have bought the service plan. January 30, 2008

I liked this TV a lot until yesterday. It has a picture as good as any plasma or lcd I've seen and the footprint is very small for a rear-projection.
It's in my family room so it gets a lot of use and I have a big bay window which light shines through in the afternoons. Even with that the glare is pretty minimal for most tv watching. Altough I'll definately pull the blinds for serious watching of dvd's or big sporting events.
So everything was going well until yesterday when the lamp blew out. A brief look online and they are $200 to $250 for a replacement. I'm not at all handy so I have no idea if that's something I can do myself. If not, I'm probably looking at at least another $100 to $150 for a professional.
The TV is only about 15 months old, so even though it's in my main room and is on almost constantly it seems a short lifespan.
I NEVER buy service plans because when you think of how many electronics (tv's, computers, printers, laptops,dvd players, stereo's, mp3 players,video game consoles, etc.) and appliances (fridge, range, dishwasher, washer, dryer, vacuum, mixers, etc.) are in a typical household and how long they usually last, you're basically self-insuring against the one or two items which will fail before it's time.
I guess the difference here is that this lamp WILL fail at some point and in my case quite quickly. It just sucks that it happened to fail 4 days before the Patriots play in the Superbowl (I'm from Mass.).
