Sony KDF 50 E 2010 > Reviews (2)

Excellent value for money as you will not get 50 inches for less, be it plasma or LCD.

Has excellent picture quality, especially on HD channels and content, SD quality is largely derived from the signal quality and a lower resolution on such a large screen has to show some sacrifices, it's very watchable though without complaints unless your a picky fella. Comes with built-in Freeview decoder. The 3D comb filter does a nice job of improving a subpar signal albeit at the cost of making the image slightly more smooth.

Sound quality and loudness is very good even though it's only 2x 10W RMS, still very loud and sound isn't distorted at higher volume levels.

They say the projection bulb needs replacing every 4000-8000 hours or use however I believe this depends on how bright its set and also its operating temperature. Even at 55% brightness, the TV is a joy to view and within the secret service menu, the bulb temperature is only reported as 22C so it shouldn't burn out that soon.

Has a nice user friendly menu system & easy setup. Comes with 2 HDMI slots, SCART sockets but also a HD-15PCmonitor plug. You can use it as a gaming screen for your console.

Very lite considering its size and only 30.5cm deep! Very sturdy build.

Sony's 3LCD easily makes you forget it's a projection TV, quality is right up there with plasma and besting many other real LCD's.
