You can get a nice 51-55" projection set for no problem in that price range. If you are willing to spend a little more you can pick up a good 42" DLP set.

And since this is at the top, anyone who says SONY WEGA in this thread is a complete and total idiot

Then who makes a better direct view tv over the Sony Wega except for Lowe ? Sony makes crap plasmas and their LCD are not so hot but the direct view sets is about as good as its gets with a Wega and the Sony crt rear projection screen are not bad either.

You forget to add the disclaimer: If you can overlook Sony's reliability issues.

Doggiedog, I have been hearing about your XBR horror stories for atleast a year. You are sure entitled to your opinion but not everybody at Sony has gotten screwed by Sony's customer service and not every Wega on the planet has reliabilty issues.

What makes the 7UY a step above the 6? I have a 6 and am curious as to what is better about it. I admit I know nothing about the 7

The 7uy has noticably more punch than the 6uy, but retains the excellent black levels. I had both of them in my house temporarily, so I was able to compare (the 6uy was practically brand new as well, so it shouldn't have dimmed any).
