In Reply to: which tv to buy, 36xbr450 or KP53HS30 posted by Maxwell on October 12, 2001 at 05:52:41:
OK, As a primary tv, I really just can't decide on which one to buy. I sit at 10' from the TV.

Go for the 53 or 60 if you can fit it!dg
I strongly recommend the HS30. Bigger is better and with proper tweaking as given by members in the Yahoo! groups on these sets, the picture quality will outsurpass the 36XBR450. Forget what people tell you that projection is poor in comparison to direct view. The have obviously never seen a properly calibrated HDTV projection set. I had the 61HS10 since March and if you saw my set, you would think it was a direct view tube - none of that washed out low contrast look.
Off the showroom floor or out of the box, the set may look crappy, but you need to do the proper brightness and contrast adjustments, and then you can go into the service menu and tweak away- with guidance from the group of course. The changes you can make will be night and day. When you are done, if you were to look at a direct view set such as the 36XBR450, you would notice the decrease in resolution because of the nature of such a small tube, not to mention, the small size of the screen. And, if you didn't know, the projection electronics and lenses inside the HS30s are identical to the 57" XBR and 65" XBR projection sets. You will not be disappointed. In fact if you do sit about 10' away from the set, I strongly recommend the 61HS30.Steve
I have a KP61HS10 (last year's model) and I really like it. With proper tweaking it can really approach the quality of a direct view, and bigger is better! Especially with DVDs and HDTV. I sit about 10' from my set, and it's great!I've heard about geometry problems with the larger Sony direct views, and I'm not sure how easy it is to correct.
There's pretty decent Sony TV forum at:
