Editorial Review:
LCD Rear Projection Television
Bring a true cinema experience into your own living room with the 42-inch Sony KDFE42A10 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 KDFE42A10 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

does not last no tech support: 
Purchased about 2 and a half years ago, and got the common problem of multi color verticle lines across the display. Online research points to the B block as being the problem ($400.00 non returnable part), but sony technical support will not confirm it has fixed other peoples tvs. Sony did confirm other people have had this same problem with this tv, but they would not tell me how they fixed it unless I called the 1-900 phone number to be charged 3.50 a minute. The TV does not last and sony will charge at...

THE VERTICAL COLORED LINES OF DEAD (CLOD)
This TV has a fantastic image, and a good sound quality. BUT it always maked some kind of weird clicking sounds from time to time. Until last week it worked just fine, but last Sunday it took over 3 minutes to turn on, and when it did no image can be seen, only vertical colored lines were displayed all over the screen. I have no response from the buttons in front of the TV, and neither the ones in the remote. Only S-video source can be barely seen behind the...more info
GREAT TV, BUT BROKE AFTER 2 YEARS:
NOT RELIABLE SONY PRODUCT AND HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, PLEASE STAY AWAY AND SAVE YOURSELF A HEADACHE!
Great set for the money...: 
I purchased this set at CC in November of 2005 for about $1800. Seems like allot in today's money. But I've been extremely happy with this set and never regretted my purchase.
I have multiple HD sources(blu-ray and cable HD) both look great. Just one tip, make sure your cable box is set to "pass-through"...so that your TV does the signaling(720P, 1080i) and not the cable box. Some cable boxes will take totally over and just feed your set a 1080i signal. Some people think this is fine, being a videonut,...more info
