Re: If you're our shopping for LCD, DLP, Plasma...

I agree that the Sony KDF-42WE655 delivers a great picture; it's the best I've seen in back projection TV sets. The viewing angle is nice and wide for a back projection set. Unfortunately, the picture quality rapidly breaks down (pixelation) when playing scenes with rapid action such as sports. I'm not sure if the problem is related to the small LCD screen elements not being able to refresh fast enough or if this is a digital compression artifact. I had to disqualify this set from consideration for this reason. Otherwise, this is the best TV of choice to me given viewing distances in the living room. Too bad there is no easy way to resolve the question of root cause of the pixelation without buying the set.

Now the shopping list is narrowed down to either the Sharp 37" LCD flat panel, the Sony 36" 4:3 WS955 CRT or the Sony 34" 16:9 960XBR CRT.
