SONY KF-E42A10 (3LCD Projection HDTV with HDMI)
« on: Dec 28, 2005 at 10:52 PM »
It supports HDTV resolutions 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i but with a native resolution of 1280 x 720.

Has anyone purchased this SONY 42" model & tried using its HDMI input? Pls let us know your review on this unit. It appears to be similar in design to its KDF-E42A10 brother (which receives many postive reviews!)in other countries except minus a few features such as cable CARD slot.

It's selling almost at P180k at the moment which is pretty pricey :(

Yup, it's incredibly overpriced. You can get it for as low as (equivalent) Php125K abroad according to one of my friends. I almost bought it but couldn't justify the price difference even if they were offering it at 0% interest over 24 months.

Yes Firewired, really really overpriced...too bad this model isn't available yet in Malaysia before I came back but according to the seller, it's coming soon & the estimated price is around...yep...you're right again...only at the P120 range....so the local price here is really crazy!  >:(

No wonder they can afford to have the 0% interest for 24 months promotion  :(

dracula, the nation wide SONY promotion, which entittled the buyer to avail the 24-month 0% installments, has ended na on Jan 15.   

After long delibaration & reading various positive feedback on the Grand Wega 3LCD series..I took the plunge & purchased this lovely set. PQ is indeed wonderful!!  :)

Hey pchin, congratulations on the Sony 3LCD. I have to agree that it does have superior PQ over the current crop of DLPs in the market.

Tks firewired!  ;)  However, some argue that the Samsung DLP is as good as the SONY 3LCD & much cheaper too in the same size dept.

I didn't get the chace to test out the latest DLP (if I'm not mistaken it's the SP-50L6HR?) so I'm not really sure about the PQ but for the older model such as the 50" DLP  model SP-50L3HR in comparison to SONY 3LCD, it's a far cry.  :)
