42" Class Grand WEGA™ 3LCD Rear Projection HDTV (41.5" diagonal)spacerKDF-42E2000

Features a new design with a thin dark black bezel, a compact body and barely visible speakers located at the bottom of the set.

Packaged in a compact, two-color exterior with subtly located speakers, Grand WEGA™ 3LCD rear projection televisions feature high-detail picture quality with natural color reproduction and exceptional brightness levels. Featuring enhanced connectivity via dual HDMI™ input and PC input through HDMI™, Sony’s Grand WEGA LCD projection televisions provide quality playback of nearly every connected device.

3LCD Panels The 3LCD technology at the heart of Sony’s Grand WEGA™ televisions provide a bright picture, with high detail and natural color. These three key benefits are immediately apparent when viewing a Grand WEGA™ TV. You can expect to see an incredibly detailed picture with eye-popping colors. Sony uses three tiny LCD chips (0.73") with a combined resolution of over 2.76 million pixels. The light from a high output UHP lamp shines into a filtering system that splits the beam into red, green, and blue light streams. Each color goes through its own LCD chip, which passes or blocks the light. The three beams are then instantaneously recombined and sent to the projection lens.

Digital Reality Creation® (DRC)® Multifunction Technology Unlike conventional line doublers, the DRC Multifunction 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 Video Menu allows you to select interlaced, progressive or CineMotion® output.

WEGA Engine™ System The WEGA Engine™ system is the core video processing system that was designed based on Sony’s expertise and long heritage in bringing cutting-edge picture quality to TVs for consumers. Its fully digital signal-processing path includes video processing functions that have been designed and optimized using Sony’s video experience to improve overall picture quality. The WEGA Engine™ System includes:

High-speed A/D (analog-to-digital) converters for wide-range gradation capture of analog signals

3-D Y/C Comb Filter for minimizing cross color and dot structure artifacts

Digital MPEG Noise Reduction Circuit, which reduces MPEG artifacts such as "block noise" and "mosquito noise" caused by the compression used to maximize bandwidth in digital broadcasts

Digital Temporal 3-D Noise Reduction (pixel-by-pixel basis)

Digital Motion Adaptive I/P (interlace-to-progressive), as well as Edge Adaptive I/P deinterlacing conversion, which improves resolution in video with motion

Advanced Iris Advanced Iris is a special Sony function designed to improve brightness and contrast expression especially in darker scenes. It is accessed inside the Picture Menu and offers 2 Auto settings and 5 Manual settings. Auto 1 and Auto 2 are dynamic adjustments that automatically open and close the iris according to the gamma level of the picture on the screen. Auto 1 is best used for viewing video content that has a large variation in brightness from scene to scene. Auto 2 is best for viewing video content that has less variation in brightness from scene to scene. The 5 manual settings (Max, High, Medium, Low, and Min) can be used to adjust the iris opening to allow the best possible picture viewing depending on ambient room lighting conditions. For instance, High works well for viewing in brightly lit rooms. Low is a good setting for viewing in low light conditions.

HDMI™ (High Definition Multimedia Interface) and PC Connectivity Designed for maximum versatility, Sony’s Grand WEGA™ line is equipped with a comprehensive range of input interfaces. The HDMI™ (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI™ technology supports enhanced or High Definition video, together with digital audio to provide matchless image and sound reproduction. PC connectivity is also accommodated via HDMI™ so now you can use your Grand WEGA TV with your PC.

Steady Sound® feature equalizes volume levels so there is consistent output between programs and commercials.
