Making your television dreams reality all over again! Sony presents the New 42-inch 16:9 Plasma WEGA Flat Panel Television - the KE-42TS2. See more - enjoy your entertainment better. This television offers features like a DVI-HDTV Interface, a 43% Improved Brightness (Peak), an Improved Contrast Ratio (1000:1), an HDTV Monitor, a Built-In NTSC TV Tuner, and 1024 x 1024 Resolution. Wait there's more! A Digital Pixel Generator System, Pixel-by-Pixel I/P Conversion, CineMotion Reverse 3-2 PullDown Technology , Built-In Stereo Speakers (9Wx2), and TruSurround Sound with SRS 3D Audio Effect are also included -- bringing you the best picture quality and incredible sound. Astounding entertainment we've got it. You can get it - the KE-42TS2.
The KE-42TS2's widescreen design is "picture perfect" for DVD movies and HDTV programs (to receive HDTV broadcasts, you must connect an HDTV tuner). Non-HD signals get a big boost in quality from Sony's latest video upconversion circuitry. As a final step, Sony's Digital Pixel Generator System "scales" (converts) signals from all of your video sources so that they precisely match the panel's 1024 x 1024-pixel resolution for the best possible picture at all times. The exception is when you feed the TV a 1080i signal from an HDTV tuner. Because 1080i is so close to the panel's native 1024i resolution, 1080i programs are displayed without any vertical scaling, you see 1024 out of the 1080 lines. The few lines of information at the top and bottom of the image that are discarded are insignificant (naturally the image still completely fills the screen). But the clarity and detail gained from cutting out one conversion step is very significant.

Reviewer: Airvae from Chicago, Illinois Sony's 42-inch 16:9 flat-panel plasma TV comes with everything you need to enjoy quality programming, including a built-in NTSC TV tuner and built-in 9-watts-per-channel stereo speakers. The KE-42TS2 features a high 1,000:1 contrast ratio for deeper blacks and vivid colors and 43 percent improved brightness. You can also connect it to your computer to serve as a monitor.
This TV offers Sony's TruSurround Sound SR 3D Audio processing, which creates the effect of surround sound using only the two built-in speakers. This technology eliminates the need to sit in the "sweet spot" where the audio sounds best, ensuring that any seat in the house is a good one. It also features reverse 3:2 pulldown, which reassembles the frame sequence of your original film-based content from DVDs to more accurately reproduce the original 24-frame-per-second material.
