50 LCD HD TV

- friend selling me 50 inch sony 3 lcd grand wega 720p tv for 800 good deal?
its 1 year old and hes giving it to me with the stand included for 800 bucks. this a good deal. i heard they discontinued making these and the bulb doesnt last extremely long but for 800 including stand and sony model is this a deal?

A It's ok. I think one of the primary reasons why he's selling it so cheap is because it's now officially out of warranty, since Sony standard warranty lasts a year. After you pay the 800 bucks, if something goes wrong with the TV then it's all you. I'm not even sure Sony still services these TVs. However, a Sony Grand Wega 3LCD 60 inch refurbished is currently being sold for about 1899 on the Sony Outlet part of its website. In terms of price, yes it's a pretty good price for a 50 inch Sony TV, as long as you can stomach the risk of not being able to get it serviced in case something goes wrong. I think the first answer was a little confusing. 3LCD is simply the technology behind that TV. The Grand Wega 3LCD rear-projection TVs do have a reputation for having a relatively high defect rate and abnormal wear-and-tear despite normal usage. Maybe you'd be one of the lucky ones.

- Sony bravia lcd tv?
I was looking at HH greg today and they have a 50 inch LCD sony bravia 1080p for 2,600 and you get a 399 dollar sony blu ray player for free with the purchase. That sound like a deal or no deal? I thought it was kind of pricey but it will be my living room tv. And the blu ray player comes free with purchase...I will be getting the warranty on this tv if i buy it so i would have to factor in how much that would be also.

A If its the XBR4 bravia TV then yes its a smoking deal. If its the W4000 bravia TV, then its a decent deal, but not amazing or anything.

- Sony 50 Inch Screen Not Very Clear - Even with the HDTV Box?
Hello! I bought the Sony 50 Inch Wega and even connected to an HDTV Box and looking at HDTV channels, it still doesn't look very clear. I have the Cable Box connected using Component Cables so I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any ideas or sites in which I could go to for assistance. Thank you very much.

A - make sure your box is outputting a signal at HD resolutions (720p or 1080i). - some LCD projection TV's (I don't know if your set falls under this) sometimes need their thingamajigs (yeah, that's the technical term... :) ) realigned--when out of alignment, the images might look fuzzy.

- Are projection HDTV bulbs (for all diff. brands) universally the same size?
I'm thinking of upgrading my 50 inch Sony HDTV 720p. I just got an extra bulb. Instead of trying to sell my Sony AND bulb, I think it would be easier to use my new bulb with my next HDTV (Mitsubishi 60 inch 1080p). Would that be possible? Thanks!!!

A Nope, they like to keep them proprietary, to protect after market sales.

- My Sony 50 inch tv's screen goes completely red after I turn it on. How can I fix it?
My Sony 50 inch tv's screen goes completely red after I turn it on. What is wrong with it? is there something I can do to fix it myself?

A Need more information. What type of tv is this, rear projection, Plasma or LCD? What cable are you using to connect the tv to you cable box or disc network? What model of tv is it?

- I have a sony 50 inch tv. When I push the power button it blinks green like its getting ready to turn on?
After blinking 3 or 4 times it goes red and shuts off. The tv is 4 years old and I just replaced the lamp so I would like to save it if I can. Any ideas

A Using the manual controls on the TV keep the channel button pressed in and at the same time keep pressing and releasing the volume button.

- 50 inch 3d-plasma or 40 inch 3d-led?
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+-+40… or http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+-+50… which is better...which do you prefer...why is the led so much more expensive? or what about this 46 inch 3d-led sony? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Sony+-+BRAVIA+/+46%22+Class+/+1080p+/+240Hz+/+3D+LED-LCD+HDTV/9904963.p?id=1218192435158&skuId=9904963 I purchased the samsung 40 inch and got a very nice deal on it...but i was wondering why these other 46 inch tvs are similarly priced. was thinking about exchanging for the 46 sony led..it would probably be an extra 300 dollars...worth it?

A The led technology is the latest technology out there. It uses allot less power than plasma. Plasma tv's have trouble working in higher altitude areas. If I were you I would also consider a mitsubishi dlp tv. They have the biggest picture for the money, plus they have the 3d also. Dlp is what they use at the movie theaters. On any of the tv's make sure the hz specification is at least 120hz, this will allow for sporting events or anything with fast movement not to blurr. Also make sure the tv's are1080p that is the highest hd standard.Screen resolution should be considered too. Look at tigerdirect.com. They usually beat bestbuys prices plus most of the time they have free shipping too. They are also tax free in most places.
