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

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.

Both KDF-E50A10 and KDF-E42A10 are equipped with Sony’s BRAVIA Engine, which enhances the quality of the image through advanced processing techniques.
