Don't trust out-of-the-box impression
This television was well worth the money. Even though it is an entry level, it was plenty for my viewing space. After purchasing, I used the Avia configuration disk to tune the picture and am nothing but impressed. Out-of-the-box the picture was dissappointing; a little too much red push, too much contrast, too much brightnes, and way too much sharpness - this basically made the picture too washed out with too "hard" of edges. After configuring though, it is phenomenal! The detail is superb ...

***Excellent HDTV for the Money!***
I picked the KDF-E50A10 after comparing it to both Toshiba and Samsung DLP's. The Toshiba DLP's have a bad history with premature bulb burnout and long wait times for replacement. I do not want to deal with that! The Samsung DLP's are great too, but I thought the Sony 3LCD technology expanded the viewable area (side to side) and improved on video game playability. I played an XBOX 360 on a friend's 2nd generation Samsung DLP and it was plagued by a slight timing delay. The pricing for the Sony w...

Great HDTV for the money if you don't want to go plasma
Overall, I've been very happy with this product. I compared it in the store to the Samsung 50 inch DLP and found the two TV's to be comparable, although I thought the Sony was a little bit brighter.
Bottom line: If you can afford this TV, you need to upgrade to HD on your satellite or cable unless you can settle for over-the-air HD with an outdoor antenna like I do.
I was horrified at first when I set up this TV because the first thing I saw were the local non-HD channels o...

Excellent by my eyes
This is my first bigscreen, and first hdtv. Previous set was a 36" Toshiba CRT.
I've been sitting on the sideline for 3 or 4 years waiting for prices to drop, and the technology to stabilize. I was sold on dlp, but the color wheel reliability and rainbow problems finally pushed me toward lcd (50" hd plasma was out of my price range). So, I anxiously awaited the arrival of these Sony sets at the brick and mortar stores. These are the first Sony sets I would consider, since they finally...

Great HDTV
I have satellite and a progressive DVD connected my new Sony. DVD's look great. It's like being being at the movie theater. The sound is very good. Satellite standard definition is upconverted by the TV. The standard signal picture is good but not as good as my Sony tube TV. This TV is great for HD signals and DVD and is acceptable for standard definition. If you watch mostly standard definition TV I'd get the 42 inch. If you watch DVD's and HDTV then this is the best set for the money r...

very good TV
I did my homework (like many others) for 4 weeks, before deciding on the Sony kdf-e50a10. At first, i purchased the samsung hl-r4667w which had a good picture. i also noticed the sony, which had a slightly better picture and was a little larger 50", but was about another $400.
after taking the samsung home, i realized two things:
1. i like the sharper picture (as opposed to the 'cinema look')
2. DLPs have 2 moving parts (color wheel and fan), while LCD projection has 1 (fan)...

Great TV
The picture on this TV is fantastic and you cannot beat the price. Looks great in both bright and low light. Very clean design, not much casing around the edges of the screen when viewed from the front. Fairly light and easy to move.
Standard definition channels don't look as good as standard tube TV's but I haven't seen a 50"+ HDTV for which that wasn't the case.
Price it out at Best Buy, Circuit City, and similar and collect the best combination of financing and price,...

Great picture
Great picture, HD is brilliant.
Criticisms:
1) The remote is a diaster. Captions take seven or eight keystrokes to turn on or off.
2) There are slightly less pixels than the previous generation WE655. Not a big loss since this actually makes it match the 720p standard. This makes the screen door effect somewhat more noticeable than the WE655, especially with standard definition.
But overall, a great TV. Great blacks for an LCD projection.

Can you say 'Awesome'???
As our 'little' 25" regular TV died, we decided to flip the bucks and go all out. After extensive research on the internet and viewing TV's in the store, we settled on this Sony rear-projection. I know what you are thinking. The first thing that comes to mind when you hear rear-projection is those awful giant behemoths from the 80's and 90's, but that isn't so anymore. This TV is a 50", but I can pick it up easily by myself and the picture quality is, like, WOW. It really is like watching TV aga...

THE BEST OF THE BEST
This is a review for Canadians.In Canada this tv is also
available as the KFE50A10.The only difference between the
KDFE and the KFE is that the KFE does not have a tuner
or cable card slot.Other than that these tv's are identical.
I should say almost identical because the price between the
two can vary as much as $900.00 cdn dollars.The KDFE being
more expensive.
If you watch tv using a satellite (HD)dish or an HD upconverting
dvd player then to buy the mo...
