LCD Rear Projection Television

Bring a true cinema experience into your own living room with the 50-inch Sony KDFE50A10 rear-projection LCD TV, which features a new design with a thin dark black bezel, a compact body and invisible speakers located at the bottom of the set. It features built-in analog (NTSC) and HDTV digital (ATSC) tuners. (Digital high-definition programming is available via terrestrial signals (over-the-air) or unscrambled cable signals provided by your cable company.) It's also Digital Cable Ready, so you can enjoy digital cable without an additional box or remote.

The KDFE50A10 uses the 3LCD video projection system, which combines three LCD panels to produce an image for a brighter picture in well-lit rooms, intensly vibrant natural colors, and spectacular HD performance. It's driven by Sony's WEGA Engine System, which delivers superb picture quality from any video source by minimizing the signal deterioration caused by digital-to-analog conversion and stabilizing the signal processing.

The Digital Reality Creation line doubling feature replaces the signal's NTSC waveform with the HD equivalent, while doubling the number of vertical and horizontal lines. This results in four times the density for quality sources, such as DVD, satellite and digital camcorders. The CineMotion technology feature uses reverse 3-2 pull down technology, providing smoother picture movement when playing back movies or other video sources on film. Other features include the Steady Sound audio equalizer (for consistent output between programs and commercials), parental controls (V-chip), Favorites channel list, front AV Inputs for connecting camcorders or video game consoles,and an HDMI connection for uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface between the TV and any HDMI-equipped audio/video component.

It has a 24-watt stereo audio system (two 12-watt speakers) and TruSurround XT compatibility. It features the following video and audio connections:

• Composite AV In (RCA): 3 (1 front)
• S-Video In: 1
• RF In: 1
• Component Video In: 3 (1 front)
• HDMI In: 1
• PC In (D-Sub 15-pin): 1

DO NOT BUY THIS SET!!!!! DEFECTIVE OPTICAL BLOCKS!!!!!:

This product and all Sony Rear Projection TV's Have an ongoing Optical Block Problem. You will get only 2-3 years usage before you have problems.

Avoid Sony projection TVs:

I paid $2200 for new product and it was junk in less than 4 years. Worse, I spent $200 on repairs before determining I should send it to recycling. Product line discontinued now. Never buy one used or try to fix one. Just replacing the $110 lamp is not going to work. Even Sony support told me to avoid ever trying to fix one of these terrible products.

KDF-E50A10 Disaster:

After only 3 1/2 years my A10 series is developing "blue blotch" disease. Sony customer service is useless. This is my last Sony product....

Defective optic blocks after 3 years. DO NOT BUY USED!:

My TV has just failed after only 3 1/2 years. there are countless reports of other customers with the same problem. Sony extended the warranty on other RPTV LCDs made around the same time, but they have not done so for this model. Avoid at all costs. 100% failure rate.
