Product information and further reviews

Sony KDS-55A2000 CNET.co.uk 2/2007 - Available for around £1,500, this is one of the cheapest 'full HD' televisions on the market -- meaning it has a 1,920x1,080-pixel resolution and can display the best quality 1080p high-definition video. Not only that, its screen measures up at a whopping 55 inches, boasts one of the highest contrast ratios around and, well, it's made by Sony, not some no-name Chinese brand.

Information about the category


A rear projection television, also known as RPTV, is a device consisting of an integrated projector which is positioned to face a mirror, which in turn faces the screen. This provides for a very good picture quality and as the screen and projector are integrated into one box, it makes for fewer devices in the room. A rear projection television can use the same technology as any screen currently available. Therefore there are CRT, LCD and DLP rear projection televisions. A CRT projector uses a separate CRT tube for each of the three primary colours and can produce the highest colour range of all three technologies. The blacks will be black, saturation and brightness will be optimal, and the price will generally be lower than a newer projector as the technology has been around for a long time and is therefore cheaper to manufacture. An LCD or DLP projection television is smaller, uses less energy and produces less heat. Screen sizes can still reach up to about 76 inches. Most rear projection televisions will have a 16:9 widescreen aspect and a resolution of around 720p. The size and weight is nothing to worry a flat screen but the quality and larger sizes may be. The price of a rear projection TV is generally in line with that of a flat panel and as flat panel technology develops into larger size screens and its popularity carries on increasing the number of places offering rear projection sets decreases.
