The KDF-E50A10 features a 50-inch display, while the KDF-E42A10 comes with a slightly smaller 42-inch screen.

This technology is a key differentiator, setting them apart from traditional LCD and plasma televisions.

One of the standout features of these models is their high-definition capability, supporting resolutions up to 720p. This ensures that viewers experience detailed and sharp images, making them ideal for watching movies and sports. Additionally, the television has a wide viewing angle, allowing for a great experience even from the side, making it suitable for larger living spaces.

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.
