For connectivity, the televisions feature multiple HDMI inputs, making it easy to connect various HD devices, such as Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, and set-top boxes.

Furthermore, the KDF series incorporates a robust speaker system designed to enhance audio quality. With integrated SRS TruSurround XT technology, users can enjoy a rich audio experience that complements the stunning visuals. The televisions also come with an integrated tuner for ATSC broadcasts, providing access to over-the-air high-definition channels.

In terms of design, both models showcase a sleek and modern profile, with a thin bezel that maximizes the screen area. The rear-projection setup allows for a less bulky appearance compared to traditional CRT models, fitting seamlessly into contemporary home décor.
