CNET product brief
Description: The Sony KDF-42E2000 is a 42-inch, rear-projection rear-projection TV.Compared to other rear-projection TVs on the market, it is very inexpensive at around $750.
Pros: With built-in HDTV compatibility, this set can display images that are significantly sharper and more realistic than regular television, as long as the source is high definition.(It can easily render standard-resolution digital TV broadcasts and also depict the full resolution of widescreen DVD video.)
Cons: Has only a 42-inch screen size.This is not out of line with the product's price, but is smaller than the average TV on the market today.
Suitability: A rear-projection TV, suited for home entertainment.Also, a wide aspect display such as this one is well suited for DVD movies recorded in the popular 16:9 format, as well as high definition programming.Can connect to a computer via DVI.
Value: In view of its very inexpensive price, this TV has great features for the money.In fact, you would typically pay around 20% more to get a rear-projection TV having similar viewable size.
