Sony KDF-50WE655 Review
The good: New fully independent memory for all inputs makes optimizing all video sources/inputs possible; 2:3 pull-down video processing.
The bad: Mediocre black-level performance; color decoder pushes red and requires a professional calibrator to fix.
The bottom line: If you can handle the pedestrian look, the least-expensive Grand WEGA delivers a solid picture and lots of features.
