Sony KDF-E42A10 42-Inch LCD Rear Projection Television
Best 720p value TV
+ Cheap and small <br />+ 1280*720 true 720p resolution <br />+ HDMI input and other neccessary stuff <br />+ Good image (for the price) <br />+ Works very fine as a HTPC display <br /> <br />* Decent black level and ok grayscales (for the price and technology) <br /> <br />- The stuff Sony uses in display to expand viewing angles causes very noticeable, unmoving shimmering shroud on top of the image in some lightning conditions. One light source behind the viewer has been working fine with me. <br />- Not usable in totally dark room (it's like watching a sun in your living room, and you really can't mess with the contrast/brightness that much if you want decent black level and grayscales) <br />- Fan noise is audible in silent passes <br />- Overscan, viewable image area is 12xx*67x (can't remember exactly) <br />- Doesn't work as a PC display (it isn't meant to be one anyways), internal processing chips mess up the image so badly. <br /> <br />To sum it up, I'd buy this (or the 50\\" one if you have enough space) if you need a new television, unless you a) need still bigger image or b) have money for true 1920*1080 1080p INPUT&DISPLAY with HDCP projector/tv.
