I Love My KP-57WS510 Largescreen Sony HDTV Monitor
By Dan kennedy
I bought a 2003 model in 2003. It has no HD tuner, and is intended for use with HD cable tv to bring in the HD signal. It does an excellent job of that without having to worry about maintenance of the HD unit. It has a very fine picture, as good as I've seen anywhere. I purchased a 5 year warranty on the unit, and it just expired without ever being used, and with virtually -0- problems with the TV. I just purchased a three year extension to the warranty for $400.00 & I'm happy with that too, it means I have at least another 3 years with no additional maintenance costs. I intend to keep it for as long as it lasts.

I recently bought a SONY KP-57WS510 TV and love it. It is a 57 inch HDTV. It only has two major drawbacks. The first is that it only has an analog NTSC tuner and will not tune in ATSC digital broadcast channels or cable clear QAM channels. You must use a cable or satelite box or a digital tuner for OTA digital. The TV is HDTV ready in that it can display 1080i or DVD 480P. The TV's 2nd drawback is that you cannot hang it on the wall like a picture frame, because it is lots bigger than a flatpanel and weighs about 150 pounds.With a 16:9 HDTV display that is 57 inches diagonally, you are talking about a BIG DISPLAY. It is 50 inches wide and 30 inches high. For a non-flatpanel, it does not take nearly as much space in the room as I was afraid it might. I was replacing an old 32 inch TV with picture tube. The display of this rear projection TV is twice as wide as my old TV, but the cabinet does not stick out into the room as far as the old TV did. The cabinet of the Sony KP-57WS510 is only 27 inches deep from wall to front of display.Before looking at this TV, I had always hated rear projection TVs, because they were fuzzy looking if you were standing less than 20 feet away. The picture on this TV is not only huge, but sharp and crisp from only 5 to 10 feet away. If you try to watch it from less than 7 feet away, it is somewhat tiring on your neck, because you must turn your head from left to right to see the entire picture because it is so wide. When my old 32 inch TV died, I could not afford a new flatpanel that was as tall as my old display. I started looking at large-used TVs that had been replaced with flatpanels (by people with more money to waste than I have).This TV rolls easily on its own wheels. The seller and I were able to lift it onto the bed of a pickup truck. I was able to unload the TV easily by myself at home by using some boards for a ramp to roll the TV from the back of the pickup onto my front porch and into my living room. In less than 15 minutes after getting home with the TV in the back of a pickup truck, I was watching a DVD on the TV and in awe of its beauty. It cost me less than the sales tax would have been when the TV was new.

Still a great TV
By J. Romo
We bought our tv in 2004. Had it shipped 300+ miles. It needed to be fixed once while covered by warranty, and the same problem less than a year later. The repair man fixed it mostly free of charge because he said maybe it was a bad part. Haven't had any other problems with it. In fact we've been patiently waiting for it to quit working so we can buy a flat screen tv!!
