Description: Sony's Grand Wega big-screen TVs have been reinvented from the inside out. If the elegantly compact design of the 42" KDF-E42A10 doesn't grab your eye, the superb picture quality surely will. The TV's width and height have been dramatically reduced compared to the previous model. This 42" screen will fit in the space where a typical 36" TV would have gone.Grand Wegas are the best-selling line of big-screens because they deliver a dependably fine picture. Sony gets the color right by using three high-definition LCD image chips (one each for red, green, and blue signals). The combination of rich, vibrant color and million-pixel precision produces images that are extremely smooth, flicker-free, and 3-dimensional. Sony's innovative Cinema Black Pro "dynamic iris" technology improves contrast and black level by reducing the TV's light output in dark scenes. A circuit continuously samples the brightness content of the video signal and adjusts the iris opening on the fly to deliver the best possible brightness, contrast, and black level.This is a "Digital Cable Ready" TV, able to receive both over-the-air and cable high-definition TV signals without a separate set-top box. To make the most of the built-in cable tuner, request a CableCARD from your local service provider. The CableCARD replaces the cable box, simplifying your hookup, providing a slightly better picture, and eliminating one remote control. Powerful "upconversion" raises standard video signals to near-HD quality ? and you can fine-tune the amount of enhancement for each video source.This is the first Grand Wega to include a standard PC input. It's great for web-surfing and gaming, and since this is an LCD-based display, there are no worries about screen burn-in. There are also three HD-compatible component video inputs, including a convenient side-mounted set for a game console or HD camcorder. Minimize
