Product Description:
Ultra-slim and compact, Sony's KE-42SX910 42-inch, HD-ready plasma set offers a widescreen design (and 16:9 aspect ratio) for beautiful cinema-quality video in your own home. It also features a DVI connection for an HDTV tuner, a double antireflective coating to eliminate glare, a 3D digital comb filter, and a Memory Stick slot. The TV has a built-in 181-chanel NTSC tuner, and Sony's Digital Reality Creation MultiFunction feature upconverts the analog NTSC signals to near-HD quality, though you'll need a separate HDTV tuner to receive high-definition broadcasts. The KE42SX910 set is compatible with the 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i formats. The KE-42SX910 offers a strong selection of video enhancements. The 3D digital comb filter renders superb gray-scale gradation for amazing picture detail. The 3:2 pulldown cinema video processing detects and converts film--which is shot at 24 frames per second (fps) compared with video's 30 fps rate--to video for a smooth, theaterlike experience at home. Using ALIS (Alternate Lighting of Surfaces) technology, the KE-42SX910 emits more light with less driving power and higher resolution. The KE-42SX910's Sony WEGA engine delivers superb picture quality from any video source by minimizing the signal deterioration caused by digital-to-analog conversion and stabilizing the signal processing. The Digital Reality Creation Multifunction V1 line doubler replaces the NTSC wave form with the near-HD equivalent by digital mapping processing. Enhanced Direct Digital II circuitry increases signal-to-noise ratio when converting the signal from analog to digital. And the Multi-Image Driver maintains the integrity of a converted signal by minimizing image loss in the scaling process, providing the unique Twin-View picture-and-picture feature. You can also view JPEG images captured from Sony digital cameras and camcorders using the built-in Memory Stick slot. Choose from an index of the images stored on the Memory Stick, or you can run a slideshow of those images. The KE42SX910 has two built-in 15-watt speakers on the side that produce TruSurround SRS audio. Two component-video inputs (both at the rear) allow you to connect an optional HDTV receiver or another source with component-video outputs. It also has a DVI input (rear), analog audio output (rear), 3 A/V inputs (2 front, 1 rear), 3 S-video inputs (2 front, 1 rear), and 1 headphone jack. What's in the Box Sony KE-42SX910 42-inch plasma TV, remote control (RM-Y1001), 2 AAA batteries, 2 clamp screws, 4 clamp rivets, 1 cleaning cloth, and printed operating instructions.

Comment: clapper issues Rating:
I hooked this TV up to my Clapper and had trouble right away. On my first clap-on, the TV made a small popping noise, then a few seconds later, it came on, but went directly to Lifetime. Now, the TV won't go off (with or without the Clapper) and I can't change the channel. The only solution I've found is to unplug it.
Comment: Great TV but save your money. Rating:
These babies are gonna get cut to half the cost by the end of the year. Save your money and have Santa get you one for Xmas.
Comment: Unbelievable TV Rating:
This television produces undoubtedly the clearest, sharpest, and most refined picture on the market today. While the 42'' size may seem "small" by today's standards, the superb clarity of the picture cannot be found on any other type or brand of television. This television is not the best choice for video games, because of the risk of phosphor burning after prolonged use. If you are interested in a good "gaming" tv, I would suggest a Sony LCD rear-projection display, which I own and am extremely satisfied with. However, if picture quality is all you're after, look no further than this tv. Hands-down, the greatest!
