| Review summary | If you fancy a projection-sized picture without having to put up with the installation hassles and dark room of a projector, this outstanding Sony rear projection TV is a stunning option. A timely and potent reminder that not all the best things in AV life are flat Read full review |
Look past the bulky body and you’ll find one of the finest rear-projection TVs around, capable of creating a strong, vibrant picture with no meaningful side effects. Full 1080p compatibility, a superb selection of inputs and an unbelievably low price make this a brilliant alternative to LCD and plasma. Just make sure your living room's big enough Read full review |
Sagem's excellent line in rear-projection TVs gets better, thanks to an integrated Freeview tuner and four HD video inputs. Also new to the roster is a new DLP chipset, which has mixed results but doesn't prevent excellent standard- and high-definition picture quality. The wealth of features and modern styling are one thing, but the superb value that the TV offers makes it top of our big-screen budget choices Read full review |
Rear-projection performance has greatly improved and screens are no longer as cumbersome as they once were. Sony's KDF-E50A12U may not be as slim as a flat screen, but the price and specification make it an attractive option -- even if it is light on features Read full review |

It's a very good TV indeed, but we're not convinced the price is justified

Could have been one of the best TVs we've seen were it not for the serious backlight inconsistency
