I too was a died in the wool CRT only fan. . .Be it RPTV or direct view untill I found my Sony 55WF655. . . Yes I know about LCD RPTVs and how crummy they are supposed to be but dont tell that to this Sony. . . When I ran VE to set it up. . . everything was spot on the money at default settings (Standard/warm/ nothing added)right out of the box.

Now about one week later I have trouble letting go. . . It is hard to watch crawls and black bars knowing they wont hurt her. . . I LOVE THIS TV!!!

I wanted an integrated HD tuner and a spectacular picture and I got both. There might be some black issues but not so you notice watching what I watch which is just about everything in HD. . . Shoot I watched the original "Charlie's Angels" the other morning at 6AM. . . Hows that for you?? Strange for me but the picture was so damn good I kept watching untill it ended. . .

I am happy as a clam. . . Does just fine in my book and as I said a month ago I would have bet money that I would never ever buy one of these and 3 grand!! NEVER!!
