5 comments about Sony Bravia W-Series KDL-46W3000 46-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.
- I'll describe the TV and the delivery in two separate paragraphs. The rating I have given is for the TV only.
The Sony 46W3000 lives up to every expectation. The colors and resolution are spectacular. I haven't found a flaw of any kind (I used to design television monitors for warbirds). Stated simply its a really nice piece. No buyer regrets whatsoever.
The 'White Glove' delivery was another matter. The delivery company called day before to indicate the set would be delivered between 12-5pm. So as the drill goes you rearrange your life and wait hoping the delivery will be sooner not later. I waited and waited. finally about 4:30p I received a call indicating that the delivery was running late. I had a concert to attend at 7p so the delivery was now becoming awkward. Truck showed up at 6:30p. Driver had a sprained ankle and was on a cane, had no helper. Was barely able to help carry in the set. Had my wife been home alone there would have been no way to bring the set in. A jack strap in the truck used to hold the box in place had cut clear through the cardboard box. Fortunately, no visible damage to the contents. Driver and I unpacked the box and quickly tested the set with a portable dvd player. I thanked the driver and went to the concert. Arrived late got poor seating. From my experience.. Amazon needs to rethink their 'White Glove' Delivery
- I have a few LCD TV's and this one blows me away! I spent quite a long time reviewing different LCD units from different magazines, companies, and online personal reviews, and I found that besides the top Sony Bravia, this one is by far my best purchase I have had in a long time!
Make sure you get yourself a set of good Monster HD cables
- We bought this product after a couple of weeks of research and thinking. We needed a TV for our niche in the family room. Since we already have a niche, several recommended we buy a DLP so you'll get a bigger screen TV for the same or lower price. When I went to the best buys and the like, I found that the DLP looks good if you are right in front but it does not have a good viewing angle. I loved the look of plasma TVs but again since I wanted it in my family room, I was looking for something brighter. I loved all the SONY's in the stores. Amazon had a great deal on this TV, no taxes, free white glove delivery. I saved nearly $600. I am extremely happy with the HD channels and brightness of this TV in the family room. The only con is for some channels where there is a lot of speed in the picture the TV acts like its catching up. I was told the XBR with 120 Hertz is better in this regard. Overall, I am very pleased with the product and with Amazon. In the future I will not buy any product without checking on Amazon.
- This is the Fist TV i actually had to buy. My roomate before had his own rear projection TV and placed in the living room. So when he had to move out, i had to buy a my own TV and this cought my eye being an HD and LCD. For $1800 it wasnt bad, works perfectly out of the box and been working good for 4 months already. I have Monster everything so i really have nothing bad to say on the picture quality and sound because i buy the best there is. There is nothing for me to compare too just an old fuzzy TV. I will go bigger eventually due to my living room being big.
- Without a doubt, this Sony KDL46W3000 is the worst TV set I have ever owned. The picture, which I saw demonstrated in several stores on a HD link, is abysmal using any other input but HD. Surely Sony should have realized that only some broadcasts are in HD and most other sources of input are not. They could have compensated for those circumstances instead of letting the buyer suffer from a low quality picture.
The sound is no better. It is muffled and unintelligible in many broadcasts, and the Sound Leveler circuit does not appear to make any difference. I thought I was finally done adjusting the sound level from loud commercials to soft movie scenes, and I expected the TV set to strike some kind of balance. It doesn't.
Conclusion: Don't buy this TV set at any price. I paid $1847 and wish I had my money back. Based on reviews I have read of other Sony products (after I bought the TV), they no longer manufacture quality electronics. That's too bad. I've had nothing but good luck with this brand until now.

3 comments about Optoma EP7155 Microportable XGA DLP Multimedia Data Projector.
- The projector is nice. It is very small and projects a nice picture, but, it has a fan that kicks into high gear and the noise is noticable since it is not running all the time. I think the noise factor de-values the projector. I have an epson 77c that has no noticable fan noise and projects a picture of almost the same quality. We placed the two projectors side by side and used a dual imput to both projectors. Even though the optoma has more lumens and a higher contrast ratio , it was hard to determine the optoma picture as having any superior quality. I bought the Optoma projecter on-line and have no choice but to like it, but---if I could have done the same comparisson test prior to purchase--I would opt for another projector.
- I'd always wanted a projector, and I'm glad I got this one. It was easy to set up and attach to my laptop computer, and it projects good quality photos and videos. The case that comes with it is handy for storing and moving the projector and its accessories.
- I was totally impressed with the brightness and quality of this LCD projector. It works great even in a fully lit room.

- PROS
- Great mounting options
- Picture quality
- Visible in high glare location
CONS
- Awful speakers (everything sounds tiny)
Great TV that I bought as a gift. Everything about it is perfect for a kitchen TV, with the exception of the awful sound the thing puts out. Luckily it has an audio-out jack, but frankly I shouldn't have to come up with workarounds for a TV at this price range.

- Could not get settings to keep a bright picture, was darker than normal no matter how I tried to set brightness, etc. Within 1 day, the screen turned on, displayed the COBY logo, then blacked out. Could only get sound. Occasionally, the screen would stay on. You never knew when turning it on if it would actually stay on. Tried every hookup/setting/outlet/etc. Called COBY and the CSR said it sounded like an internal defect. This was very disappointing since I did research this product online before buying and couldn't find a negative review. Plus COBY said that if I returned it I had to pay shipping which I think is unethical, like I'm being penalized for buying their crappy product!!!

5 comments about LG 37LB5DF 37-inch 1080p LCD HDTV.
- The HDTV picture is sharp and the colors are crisp and clear. Flesh tones are excellent. Standard def picture is very good. DVD picture is very good. The viewing angle is good. Sound is very good. The controller and the on-screen menu are easy to use and follow. I highly recommend this t.v.
- The LG 37 is one of a very few 37 inch LCD units that are full 1080p displays. For those of us who want the best HD picture we can get, this is a good choice. The picture is clear and crisp and the audio is typical of sets of this type, which means if you want great audio, add a sound system. I found the controls somewhat hard to decipher, but once I got the idea, fine adjustments to color and sound were easy. I had no problem finding hanging hardware. Trivial complaint is the large red off light that I can do without.
- The TV came as promised. Very quick actually. No issues with packing. Set-up was pretty easy. Getting the picture quality up to the same quality as my girlfriends Sharp Aquos has not been easy though.
I started by swapping out the HD cable box, and, then had the cable company come out to the house to check the signalling. I upgraded to HDMI cabling but while the LG has a very good picture, i don't feel it is as high quality as other reviewers had suggested.
The remote works well, easy to figure out.
Overal all nice, but not superior.
- I did a ton of research on LCD and other flat screen TVs prior to purchasing this, I really wanted a full HD TV on my 37" screen despite the fact that many places said that on TVs smaller than 45" the difference wasn't noticeable. I got what I wanted and so far I love it! Great picture and great sound also!
- The picture is good on this TV, but the remote is very user unfriendly....small buttons close together and all alike. It is in a bedroom and almost impossible to change channels in the dark. Also I don't like the way the channels are set up. After each channel there is a dash and a 0 or another number that makes no sense to me whatsoever. It is set up in four channel types: TV, DTV, CADTV, CATV....why I am not sure...it is just confusing to me. I guess that is why they price was reduced on this unit. I should have sent it back, but I found that too much problem. Had I read a review stating this information I would not have ordered the TV. I cannot recommend it.

2 comments about VT700 LCD Proj XGA 3000 Lumens Dual Computer Input with 5WATT Speaker.
- Super bright at 3000 lumens. Fairly short-throw so you can be about 8-10 feet back from a typical screen. If you have used a projector with wimpy laptop sound, you will be impressed with the substantial output and decent quality sound on this unit. Multiple video/audio inputs with switching from the remote is a nice touch also. Well worth the extra $$!
- Three things stand out for me on why I first chose and why I am enjoying this projector. (1)3000 lumens at this price is pretty good. (2)A more powerful speaker which allows for presentations in a sizable audience without having to attach speakers - but if you want other speakers, there is a convenient minipin port. (3)A convenient volume control for that speaker on top - my last one was imbedded in the menu. Add to these the wide range of ports in and out (DVI!) and you can see that this is a power users machine at a modest price point.

1 comments about SOYO DYLM2284 Citrine Series 22" Wide TFT LCD Monitor.
- I needed a monitor, picked this one mainly based on price, and am very happy with it.
The screen is huge. This replaced 20" LCD, and feels much bigger than just a 2" addition.
The stats are impressive, and the performance seems to match claims. I don't play high end games on it, but everything that has been on the monitor has looked great.
My monitor has one burnt pixel. It's in the lower right corner....half an inch up and 3 inches form the side, an excellent place for a burnt pixel and very acceptable. I've seen much worse on far more expensive monitors.
Complaints? The only one is that the blue light below the screen, which is there to tell you the monitor is turned on, is too bright. I don't even know why it's there to begin with.....isn't the picture on the screen a good enough sign? This a minor issue overall, and this light is on every LCD monitor you buy. It is fixed with a piece of black electric tape.
