Just got off the phone with Sony they said to return the tv.

I heard it in the set I returned, and my new one. To me, it just sounds like the buzz that all tvs make when they are on, except a bit louder.

You Heard It In Both Sets?if That Is The Case I Will Keep My Set Because That Is The Only Problem I Have.

Has anyone else noticed a slight tilt in the display?
When the 'Display' or 'Guide' is shown on the screen, the line on the top right of my screen is about 3/4in - 1in lower than on the top left.
Is this adjustible in the previous Sony service menus?

Thats not right... return and get a new TV....

Yeah, my first set had a similar problem. Geometry was off by that much, but on the vertical instead. I returned it and the new set is fine. No menu adjustments that I am aware of.

Anybody play around with any of their settings yet? What about those who have a 360?

So I've had my E2000 for about a week now, and I have to say the silk screen effect can be a little distracting. The effect seems to be concentrated at the center of the screen, so it is a little difficult to ignore at times, especially with HD content. The Samsung DLP I had before this had SSE as well, and it seemed a little worse than this, but I am still noticing it.

Is there anything I can do to reduce the level of SSE I am seeing? I know this is something one has to live with if one chooses a DLP or LCDRP, but I definitely would prefer glare (something I can control) to this SSE.

avjett,

To help minimize SSE, be sure that brightness and contrast(picture) are properly adjusted.

Custom
Advanced Iris = Low
Picture = 65
Brightness = 46
Color = 45
Hue = G1
Color Temp = Neutral
Sharpness = 30
Black Corrector = Off
Gamma = High
Clear White = Off
Color Corrector = Off

Still playing around with DVD input.

The price of the 55E2000 has dropped on Monday.
Not sure if this is proper forum etiquette, but just wanted to inform everyone.
If you bought from a place with price matching, you may be in for some money...

interesting setup. do you watch in a low light room or do you just really like your fleshtones, lol.

Define "that much"? Actually, I don't think that it's necessarily better at all. Changes are minor (chip size and iris control) and may or may not be improvements. I agree with you that the larger screen is the difference worth noting. I wouldn't be that concerned about the width of the set relative to the entertainment center's available space. Air to cool the set is drawn from the rear primarily and heat from the set rises. You want to provide some space above the set and open the back of the enclosure so that the system can breathe. The Sony manual suggests 12" clear above the set, but that assumes that the overhead cover and wall in back of the set are joined, closing off any exit path for the heated air. If you can open the back of the furniture and pull it out from the wall a few inches to provide ventilation, you can go with the larger screen even if space around it viewed from the front is relatively confined.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Exactly the piece of logic I was hoping to find here.

On another note, my wife and I were shopping around the other day and looked at a place that had the 42" on floor. She didn't like it as much as the newer 46" for some reason -- fine with me. Of course the sales guy was clueless when I asked about the E2000 or when he would have some.

How does the picture quality of the A2000 compare to last years SXRD?

Worse, same, better? Why?

I do you like watching movies in dark lighting. I'm not a fan of a real super duper bright picture just because I have an LCD RPTV. My previous Mitsubishi CRT RPTV was ISF calibrated and got acustomed to that. I'm still tweaking the picture on my 50E2000, so many picture tweaks.

The E2000 is a different animal than the A2000. The E2000 is a 3 chip 720p LCD RPTV which is just a new version of the A10 series. The A2000 is the new 1080p SXRD.

Thank you for telling me what I already knew (and did not ask for either) .
Anyone dare to say some substantial comparing last years SXRD to this years SXRD?

The title to this thread is for KDF-**E2000

Maybe you should go to the thread for that TV to find the answer.

Well, the 46 is everywhere in Atlanta now, so if you're local you can view one. I opted for the 50, and should be picking up tomorrow. I'll post pics of my set up when I get it done.

I just picked up a 46E2000 and am very pleased. This is my first big-screen TV set, my first HDTV, and my first rear-projection. I also bougt the DVP-NC85 DVD player and am playing around with everything.

So, if anyone has any suggestions or tips I'd love to hear 'em. Also, what about tweaks and settings? Are the tweaks the same as the A10?

Does your DVD player take about 30 seconds to read a DVD? I used LOTR and revenge of the Sith and they both take that long. My old Sony only took 5 or so.

My Sony upconverting player takes almost a full minute to load LOTR--It's actually slower than my HDA1 on that disc. Normal for the Sony upconverting players.

I honestly haven't paid any attention to how long it takes to load up. Does it really matter?

I was in BB last night and finally got a chance to see the 55" E-2000. I've been interested in this model as a replacement for my nearly 5 year old KP57-HW40 Sony crt based set.

They had it set up next to the 56" JVC and a 56" Toshiba, lcos and dlp respectively. It looked downright dim--not just in comparison to the JVC and Tosh, but even to nearby Sony lcd sets of previous model years. The remote was sitting out so I checked the settings--Picture was already maxed out, iris was set at Auto-1. When I changed Iris to the highest fixed setting it got brighter but it's my understanding that this is detrimental to good black levels and shadow detail.

My question for owners of the 55" E-2000 is whether this is tyical of this model set or an abberation of this particular display model. To be honest the display set was dimmer with contrast maxed out than my old crt set with contrast set at 45%.

I like Sony color rendition and subtlety and the noticeable lack of digital artifacting in comparison to other makes, and am not one of those fans of flourescent colors that go crazy over Samsung's cartoon images, but this thing just looked to dim imho.

It might be the bulb. The 42, 46, 50 and 55 all use the same 100 watt bulb as near as I can tell. The Samsung 56" DLP uses a 132 watt bulb for approximately the same sized set. Sony may be underpowering their bigger sets bulb-wise. On the other hand, one has to assume Sony knows what they are doing.

I'm really interested in hearing some first hand opinions on the A10 compared to these newer E2000 models. I haven't had a chance to get out to my local stores recently.

I had an A10 before I got my 50E2000. The main differences are that the 50E2000 doesn't have a VGA input or Cable Card, the E2000 added an extra HDMI input on the rear. The Advanced Iris settings are also a little different on the E2000. Picture quality to me seems the same.

I checkeed out the KDF-46E2000 last night at BB. It was set up between a couple of Samsung DLP's. My wife and I both thought the picturer was brighter and crisper on the
Sony.
