I need to vent so sorry all for going off topic.

I once had a Sony SXRD KDS-55A3000.  Awesome television.  I first bought it in February 2008, and I just gave it away this year.  At the time of purchase, I paid $1800 for this set, and anything in a flat panel that was comparable in specs was at least twice the price.  Not perfect, the Sony SXRD KDS-55A3000 was a beautful set in which I spent hours tweaking it to its best for my surroundings.

Currently, I own the KDL-60W630B and the KDL-55W800C.  Both Sony, both smart TV's, both LEDs, 60" & 55" respectively.  The KDL-60W630B is a basic smart TV in the living room for general viewing while the KDL-55W800C is probably one of the best pre-4K televsions you can get at the time for gaming and home theather purposes.  Both of these sets being newer tech is better than the Sony SXRD, but the Sony SXRD was so great for its time it was so hard for me to let go.  I just didn't have to room to justify saving it somewhere.  Any videophile will know that the KDS-55A3000 was an impressive set for its time.  And what's really sad is that no one around me would pay money for it when trying to sell it because they were so caught up un the flat panel hype not knowing the quality of a television that is really is.  I finally got a coworker's brother-in-law to take it off of my hand when I finally had to offer the TV for free.

Obviously in today's market, I'd pick the televsion sets I have now over the SXRD, but that set was so sweet that provided so many great movie viewing and gaming moments.

It is an absolute shame that consumers killed rear projection TVs. SXRDs were so much better than LCD, and so much cheaper as well. People unfortunatly misunderstood the bulb going out with thinking their whole TV was broke. All they had to do was call the manufacturer and request a free replacement bulb which was standard from any respectable manufacturer. You could easily get 4 - 5 years from a TV on the 1st bulb, and then another 4 - 5 years on the 2nd before having to spend a minuscule $300 for the 2nd replacement bulb.

SXRDs had absolutly zero screen door effect, no judder, no artifacting, extreamly good black levels, and as low as 4ms response times. Now we are stuck with LCD, LED, and OLED, all of which suffer from many issues, and have input lag around 20ms at best or 35ms average. Great example of consumers ruining the industry  with uninformed purchases.

For example, I paid $700 for the KDL-55W800C just late last year.  It was well worth the money by itself, but the difference of quality over the SXRD wasn't worth that.  Maybe at the most $300 or $400 for all features.  Not implying that the KDL-55W800C purchase was a bad one, this just illustrates how great Sony's SXRDs were at the time.  Samsung still made a few rear projections into late 2008, and Mitsubishi just stopped production a short while ago. Ultimately, I blame the general consumer's mass mob mentality for killing off such a quality product.  I was trying to sell the SXRD for a max $400 in late 2015, but the common response from the peasants were, "FOR $400 I CANT GET ME A NEW FLAT SCREEN." F*#^!*% idiots.
