Product Description
Take your television viewing experience to a new level with the KDF-E50A10 Grand WEGA 3LCD Rear Projection HDTV. Its design features a thin dark black bezel, a compact body and barely visible speakers located at the bottom of the set. The KDF-E50A10 also features crisp HD picture quality, which delivers natural color reproduction and exceptional brightness levels due to 3LCD technology. Additional features include the Sony WEGA Engine system to deliver detailed picture quality from any compatible video source by minimizing the digital-to-analog conversion process and the WEGA GATE Easy Operation Guide, which allows you to easily navigate to TV functions, including favorite channels, TV channel list and external input list or settings.

Amazon.com Product Description
Bring a true cinema experience into your own living room with the 50-inch Sony KDFE50A10 rear-projection LCD TV, which features a new design with a thin dark black bezel, a compact body and invisible speakers located at the bottom of the set. It features built-in analog (NTSC) and HDTV digital (ATSC) tuners. (Digital high-definition programming is available via terrestrial signals (over-the-air) or unscrambled cable signals provided by your cable company.) It's also Digital Cable Ready, so you can enjoy digital cable without an additional box or remote.

The KDFE50A10 uses the 3LCD video projection system, which combines three LCD panels to produce an image for a brighter picture in well-lit rooms, intensly vibrant natural colors, and spectacular HD performance. It's driven by Sony's WEGA Engine System, which 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 line doubling feature replaces the signal's NTSC waveform with the HD equivalent, while doubling the number of vertical and horizontal lines. This results in four times the density for quality sources, such as DVD, satellite and digital camcorders. The CineMotion technology feature uses reverse 3-2 pull down technology, providing smoother picture movement when playing back movies or other video sources on film. Other features include the Steady Sound audio equalizer (for consistent output between programs and commercials), parental controls (V-chip), Favorites channel list, front AV Inputs for connecting camcorders or video game consoles,and an HDMI connection for uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface between the TV and any HDMI-equipped audio/video component.

It has a 24-watt stereo audio system (two 12-watt speakers) and TruSurround XT compatibility. It features the following video and audio connections:

  • Composite AV In (RCA): 3 (1 front)
  • S-Video In: 1
  • RF In: 1
  • Component Video In: 3 (1 front)
  • HDMI In: 1
  • PC In (D-Sub 15-pin): 1

What's in the Box
KDFE50A10 TV, remote control, two AA batteries, printed instructions

1 out of 5 stars DON'T BUY IT   November 14, 2008
I have had this model for a little under 2 years. The Optical Block has gone bad. Even though Sony has settled at least one class action law suit regarding the defective piece of equipment, they have only included specific models. This one is not included, even though the internet is loaded with people with this exact model having the same "blue haze" issue. Cost just quoted to me to fix...$1200. And, I just replaced the light bulb for another $200. Sony just keeps telling me I am out of luck. I will never buy another Sony product as long as I live.


1 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS TV!!! IT WILL GO BAD WITHIN 2 YEARS!!   November 1, 2008
This television does have some great capabilities and wonderful picture... that is... until 2 years go by and it's no longer under warranty. Then the B Block goes bad. $800-1000 to fix it and Sony will not issue a recall! SEARCH KDF-E50A10 B Block on you're favorite search engine, mine is not the only one.
RESEARCH before you buy. Please.



1 out of 5 stars After 2 1/2 years -- a LEMON of a TV   September 3, 2008
  0 out of 1 found this review helpful

This TV only has given me 30 months of loyal service. IN the past couple of weeks multicolored small square boxes have appeared in 4 lines across the center in standard resolutions and a multicolored line in HD resolutions.

Many problems have been reported on the Internet about this model line of TV, with a general nonchalance attitude on the issues from Sony.

I would avoid this TV until Sony offers free repairs -- which will not occur until the matter is heard in a court.

I own a Sony KDFE50A10, LCD. TV. Its 3 years old and I am getting diagonal lines on the top 1/3 of my screen. I E mailed Sony and their technitions said there are many varibles and maybe it was ran a long time, sorry but maybe its at the end of its life. It did have a good picture untill this. I don't like the support because thay just don't care. DON'T BUY IT !


1 out of 5 stars lots of problems after warrenty expired   December 17, 2007
  4 out of 4 found this review helpful

We have had the t.v. for 20 months when these rectangular shaped, multicolored boxes apearred across the screen. They measured around 3/4 by 1/2 inch and have rapidly changing colors in them. I have been reading alot of posts and it looks like this is a very common problem occuring after 18-20 months of ownership. The cost to fix the problem is 800.00 for parts and 500 give or take for the tech. Until Sony resolves this issue I would avoid the T.V.
