WTT: 52" Sony HDTV

Ok, we are going to be moving to a new house that just is not conducive to a larger TV.

TV is in perfect condition, and I would keep it for years to come however it just does not work in my new living room. I don’t know the exact model number but I can get it, and I can get pics. Basically it is a 51" projection HDTV, has excellent picture, believe it also still has a warranty through circuit city. Has 2 component inputs, HDMI, and 4 or 5 composite inputs. I’ve had it a little over a year, never an issue.

I need to switch to a flat panel tv… LCD preferably, not really interested in plasma. Let me know what you got, if yours is of more value i’ll toss some $$$ your way. I will consider some smaller tvs, but not looking for a major downgrade.

EDIT: Also will consider projector & screen

ur a pussy

a tv is never “too big”

trade 6month old Sanyo 26in LCD widescreen :slight_smile: lol

I don’t know it off hand… and it is no longer listed on the circuit city website. I will find out later on today when I get home.

Also, i’d really like to have something at least 36".

I have a 36" Sony Wega a year and a half old, flat screen. Absolutely perfect, hardly ever use it. Willing to trade and give you a little cash.

Trade your TV for my wing?

Deal.

flat screen or panel? I’ll need something I can mount on the wall only a few inches deep

Ok I am fairly certain it is this, and also I think I was wrong it is a 51" not a 52"

Amazon.com Product Description
Dim the lights, fire up your DVD player or HDTV receiver, and let Sony’s 51-inch Hi-Scan KP-51WS520 turn your living room or board room into a movie theater. The set uses Sony’s HD Microfocus CRT and lens system, featuring smaller phosphor particles, thinner phosphor layers, and other improvements that give the set a beam spot 28-percent smaller than Sony’s standard CRTs. And that means sharper focus, higher contrast, and brighter images. The screen features a wide, 16:9 aspect ratio that matches the dimension of most movies and HDTV broadcasts, and the KP-51WS520 is compatible with standard-definition 480i, enhanced-definition 480p, and high-definition 720p and 1080i sources.

The set’s HD Detailer wideband video amplifier provides high detail from high-res images to give you the best possible image from high-bandwidth sources. Auto 16:9 enhanced mode with auto ID1 detection automatically renders anamorphic DVD content in letterboxed widescreen, using all available display lines for the image and wasting none on the black bars that frame the image when a program’s widescreen aspect ratio differs slightly from the set’s.

Digital Reality Creation (DRC) circuitry ensures high picture resolution, while proprietary Direct Digital Circuitry increases a video signal’s signal-to-noise ratio before it reaches the DRC circuit, ensuring rich, natural-looking images from any source. TwinView 2-tuner PIP (picture-in-picture) lets you view any 2 sources simultaneously–even 2 TV stations. Sony’s MID-X (Multi Image Driver) maintains the integrity of a digital signal by minimizing image loss in the scaling process.

Sony’s CineMotion 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal is a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. Digital video mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

The set offers 2 different digital video interfaces: a Digital Visual Interface (DVI-HDTV) and an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface), each of which permits a direct digital connection with a compatible DTV set-top box. Other connections include 2 component-video inputs, 4 composite-video inputs, 3 S-video inputs (with 1 each composite-/S-video on the front panel for ready connection to a camcorder or gaming console), and 2 RF coaxial inputs and 1 coaxial output for hookup with an older VCR, cable box, or antenna.

What’s in the Box
TV, remote control, remote batteries (2 AA), a user’s manual, and warranty information.

hmm hadn’t really thought about it… I have no idea what these sell for now but i’d sell it maybe for half what I paid? $800?

Dunno, if I can’t find a decent swap for a flat panel I may just keep it to throw in an extra bedroom and hookup the xbox360 and wii. Then I don’t have to get the wife to stop watching General Hospital to get my game on :stuck_out_tongue:

Dont lie…you watch General Hospital too.

I saw you on the GH website…same sig and avatar.

ill trade you for my 56"… oh wait. n/m;)
