I have the 36" Sony and I love it. No projection TV I have seen is in it's class. I bought it a month before the 40" Sony came out.The salesman is an idiot. Regular TV is excellent. I have digital cable and the picture is very close to DVD. I sold my High Def projection TV because I didn't like watching football on it. It was good for movies but sports were not clear enough for me.
The 36" is very heavy. The 40" is like a tank.
Bottom line. The Sony is not for everyone, but if you think you'll like it, you'll probably love it after owning it a few months.

Hi Carl-I have the non-HDCD Sony 36" (FV26) which i bought at Costco for $1399, and the picture is superlative. i've given it rabbit ear feeds, and now Dish Network.
If you are near Costco (and a member or know one), they are now selling the 36XBR450 for $1999 (as opposed to 2299 everywhere else) which is a great deal for a HDTV ready set.

Too sharp???? Weird. Perhaps the salesman could learn to use the frickin controls to turn down the "sharpness" if Sony has that. Detail can always be smoothed out. Never mind that guy, if you post here, search the archives: there's probably someone else who bought it and got it to work great!Bh
