Great TV

15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Very adjustable picture settings, rich color, compact size, cheap for what you get, light...
Cons Off-axis picture fade, long start-up time, lamp will need replacement in 2-3 years.
Recommended it? Yes

After at least four years of deliberation and procrastination, I recently decided to retire my excellent but undersized decade-old 27" Panasonic TV. I had no immediate plans to upgrade my DirecTV to HDTV, but I saw no point in investing in another standard definition set. So, much as I hated... Read full review »

Cons pic sucks out of the box, needs play around with the picture setting

This is my first flatsreen lcd tv and not for one second I ever regret buying this. I bought it only for $1700 already including 5 year deal and 1 year bulb replacement, for this product, the bulb is not as expensive as other tvs, for the 42inch, its only 200 bucks, while for the 50 inch, i think...

Sony KDF E42A10

8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros I really loved the HD picture quality when it was working.
Cons Bad long term performance. Warranty should be longer for known failures.
Recommended it? No

Purchased this TV just over 12 months ago. And wouldn't you know it, 2 weeks past the warranty and it fails. Not just a little, but a lot. It will cost more than the original purchase price to fix it. I'm presently waiting on Sony to make a decision as to whether they pay for the fix or I drag the... Read full review »

Pros Price, HD picture quality.
Cons Viewing Angle
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased this TV in October 2005 on sale at Circuit City.


Analog picture quality is fair to good when view from more than 7 feet.

HD picture quality is excellent. I am very satisfied with the performance.

The one weakness (of this and all other projection TV's)... Read full review »

The best TV out there for this low price

byiguana371 Dec 13, 2005
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Amazing HD and DVD picture. Nice small cabinet for a 42 inch screen.
Cons No picture in picture. Huge remote. Takes time to perfect PQ.
Recommended it? Yes

I had the previous model of this set, the KDF 42WE655, and that was an awesome set! It broke, so I had to get it replaced with the new 42 model, the A10. At first, I was disappointed, because the previous model had higher resolution (1366x768) as opposed to the more standard 1280x720, which the new... Read full review »

Pros Great Picture,wonderful features,doesn?t have the same problems with burn issues or heat...
Cons I can't think of any except the bulb is around $250 to replace.
Recommended it? Yes

Great TV and the price is right too. Yes, it may need to have a bulb replaced every now and then, but if you by through Circuit City you can get them under warranty. Great Picture, wonderful features, only 70 lbs so you can move it around without any problems, doesn't have the same problems with... Read full review »

Pros Great picture until it goes out.
Cons Major problems with set
Recommended it? No

This tv has a great picture but beware. Major problems with this brand/model! 3 months after warranty was up, my tv started cycling on/off for no reason. Ended up being a block circuit board - repair cost $1048.53. This was not an isolated case. Do an internet search on Sony LCD projection tv... Read full review »

Pros Awesome picture, Price, Name Brand
Cons Regular TV is fuzzy, Needs more HD inputs.
Recommended it? Yes

I went shopping for a dlp television. The electronics store salesman sat me down in front of 6 similar HDTVs using the same HD Satellite signal I would be using.. (very helpful). Being at eye level to this and other Flat Screen TV's is very important (I don't know why stores put the TV's so low)... Read full review »

Good Picture, Not Thrilled with Projection LCD.

byaxle11 Aug 31, 2005
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Price, 42" HDTV for less than $2000, DVD playback, footprint.
Cons Poor viewing angle, lamp needs replacement, SD quality is poor.
Recommended it? No

Since this is a projection LCD television, the viewing angle both horizontal and vertical is pretty poor. Viewing SD on an HDTV monitor such as this one is pretty bad, even though the signal is digital. Come on broadcasters, get with the HD! The 1080i looks much better although more video-like than...

It's funny how display TVs tend to show us the very best

byporcupine1 Jan 1, 2006

Pros Decent HD and DVD picture. Extremely light weight allows for moving to play with hookups.
Cons Crappy SD picture. Not overly impressed with SONY online support so far
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this unit after doing some research and figured that LCD was the way to go. I also bought ALL the extras Monster Cables component, HDMI, S-VIDEO. I got a new HD box from the cable company. Played with all the settings until I got familiar with the TV. Our last TV was close to 20 years old,... Read full review »
