Product Description
This second-generation Grand Wega TV offers so much more performance and flexibility than the first generation that Sony raised it to XBR status - signifying that it's one of Sony's finest TVs. Thanks to innovative design and cutting-edge optics and video processing technology, the KF-60XBR800's picture will amaze you with bright, gorgeous colors and pixel-perfect clarity - all without a bulky cabinet! The combination of high resolution and compact size (about as deep as a conventional 27" TV!) makes this a perfect big-screen TV for smaller rooms, too.
Sony achieves this incredible image detail by using three 1.35"-wide LCD elements
(one each for the red, green, and blue signals) that deliver picture resolution of over one million pixels. Compared to the previous Grand Wega, the KF-60XBR800 has improved overall black levels by 25%, further enhancing picture brightness and contrast. Besides making it possible to create a big picture in a slim cabinet, using LCD panels eliminates misconvergence and other limitations of conventional CRT-based rear-projection TVs, while greatly reducing the potential for image "burn-in." (This TV is a terrific choice for videogame fans.)
The XBR Grand Wega LCD projection display is so packed with pixels (1366 x 768 pixels) that it makes your most demanding sources, like 1080i HDTV broadcasts (HDTV reception requires a separate HDTV tuner) and progressive-scan DVD (480p), look magnificent. The TV automatically converts all input sources to a high-resolution progressive output for a picture that is effortlessly realistic and smoothly consistent.
For your standard non-HD sources (like VCRs, cable TV, etc.), Sony includes Digital Reality CreationTM (DRC) circuitry to produce a smoother, more solid picture. This latest version of DRC gives you complete control over the level of picture enhancement.

Dont buy this TV for the following reasons.,
By
This review is from: Sony 50'' XBR Grand Wega Widescreen Rear Projection LCD HDTV Monitor (kf-50xbr800) (Electronics)
As mentioned in another review, the lamp has a limited life, I got more than the other reviewer, 5yr, but its still $200 and some inconvienence to replace, not the replacment itself but getting the part to the TV.
Another problem I've noticed is that the audio quality is very poor. Either too muffled or female news comentator voices too tinny. I always though Sony audio would be outstanding but this is not. I have to run the audio through the stereo to get acceptable sound. It's very unlikely that this TV is available anymore as Sony dropped it ASAP.

A Great TV with a catch!,
By
This review is from: Sony 50'' XBR Grand Wega Widescreen Rear Projection LCD HDTV Monitor (kf-50xbr800) (Electronics)
The TV is great great picture quality and great features. It's everything you want plus more. There is one catch through which is that because this is a LCD tv the lamp burns out and you must replace it every year which i have to do. The lamp costs 200$ which is alot of money so unless you dont want to pay that and go through the trouble of buying a lamp buy another tv
