Amazon.com Product Description
Broad, vivid, rear-projection images can be yours with Sony's 57-inch Hi-Scan KP-57WS520. 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-57WS520 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.

 Great Price, Very Good TV. July 29, 2005
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
I mostly use my television for watching movies. Others in the household watch standard television (DirecTV with no HD programming, yet). The television has a beautiful picture for DVDs. The size makes standard television a little less than graceful, but its still worthwhile.
This television is a solid value for the price. No problems with it, at all.
Quality February 25, 2008
I have had this TV for several years now, watching all types of HD programming and DVDs. Very good picture, especially in white/black compared to LCD at a much lower price that flat screens. It is a little large (in depth) but if you ahve the space I highly recommend it.
One of the best tvs ive ever owned July 8, 2005

One of the best tvs ive ever owned, convenient, easy to use, AMAZING PICTURE!! Awesome audio quality...
 Great for Movies and HD, Big Box August 31, 2007
Great box for movies. I also have a High Def cable box connected to HDMI. HD channels look great, regular channels are mediocre. WS57 designed for letterbox movies. For example, this TV shines with widescreen movies. Recently bought Apollo 13 IMAX edition and it looked like film on the screen. I've had no problems with the unit in over a year. Downside for all projection TVs are viewing angle and size of unit (needs an entire corner of a room).
Satisfied June 19, 2008
I bought the TV used on craigslist....wonderful HD picture with my Dish...plays movies great....lots of inputs/outputs...only downside is no HDMI connection...just component and DVI inputs. Other then than great TV so far.
