The Sony KDF-55E2000 is a 55 inch high definition television set using LCD technology. This set is an excellent option if you want a really big screen TV without spending a large amount of money on a flat panel set. The native resolution of the set is 1280 X 720 which means that all incoming signals will be scaled to fit the available pixel area. Having a display resolution of 720p the Sony KDF-55E2000 is a relatively cheaper option compared to the really high priced projection TV’s.

The design of the set too is quite commendable. The twin speaker system of the set is almost hidden under the screen and has helped the manufacturers shave off quite a few vital inches of the width. The set is equipped with a CableCard slot which helps the user to connect cable TV without the need of going in for separate set top boxes. Sony also is sure to win quite a few accolades with the inclusion of a couple of HDMI inputs which will be useful for anyone attaching plenty of devices.

This type of processing helps in rendering images which are sharp and bright. The colors are rich and realistic. The picture detail of the set is slightly disappointing and will certainly not be able to match that of a 1080p set.

The cabinet has been elegantly designed using a two color tone structure. The border around the widescreen is dark gray and a silver strip at the bottom of the screen is used to house the speakers. This positioning of the speakers at the bottom instead of the sides of the cabinet enables the manufacturers to decrease the width of the set by quite a few inches.

The JVC LT-32X787 is a 32” (measured diagonally) high definition television using the LCD technology. The size of the set is one of the most popular sizes among all classes and this may well be due to the fact that most people want to replace their CRT TV’s which are around 27”. The set is priced at around $1200 which makes it sit at the midlevel for its range of sizes. JVC has done well to break the pattern of making the cabinets all black. The silver and black cabinet has been modestly styled. The cabinet is predominantly silver with the black part used around the screen.

The dimensions of the set are 31.5 inches in width, 23.3 inches in height and 10.6 inches in depth and it tips the scales at 38.3 pounds including the stand. The huge JVC remote (almost a trademark) will not really earn too many accolades and packs too many buttons with similar functions in a haphazard manner. The extra (second) HDMI interface is certainly a huge asset which most people will be willing to pay more for.

The maximum display resolution offered by the JVC LT-32X787 is 1366 X 768 which is more than enough to show all the details at 720p. All the other input sources are scaled to fit the available pixels. It can be easily noticed the set showed the 720p resolution sources better and sharper than the sets having 1080i resolution. The overall performance of the JVC LT-32X787 was superb as it offered accurate colors for an LCD although the blacks were a little light.

Even with new technologies like the plasma, the LCD and the DLP taking the markets by storm and occupying most of the market share some of the manufacturers are still offering large screen CRT projection sets with better performance at much more sensible prices. Although the size of the cabinet does have most people shying away from them some of the sets really have much superior performance to the sets using other technologies. Style and elegance may be one of the factors at which the CRT may be caught lacking.

The dimensions of the set are 61 inches in width, almost 60 inches in height and 25 3/8 inches in depth. The depth, even though quite high, is not much larger than some of the rear projection televisions of the same size. The depth though will be beaten silly if you dare compare it to the LCD’s. With this in mind I will make it a point to keep the comparisons restricted to the CRT’s. The weight of the set is just a bit less than 260 which is quite reasonable for a CRT television having a screen size of 65 inches. The Hitachi 65F59 has an integrated ATSC tuner which enables it to process all incoming signals upto 1080i.

Overall the set offers excellent performance providing excellent black levels and accurate colors which are the specialties of the CRT without the problems faced by the use of the newer technologies. The pricing of the CRT sets makes it a good value for money.

The Hitachi 62VS69 is a high definition television using the LCD technology and has a 62 inch screen size when measured diagonally. LCD HDTV’s till now have not exactly been given the attention that is normally bestowed upon the other versions like the DLP or flat panel sets. But this set proves that the LCD technology will not be knocked out of the race so easily, as it makes quite an effort with some good performance and a decent list of features. The screen size is really huge and is an excellent option if you are looking for a big screen size for a relatively small size.

The Hitachi 62VS69 offers a native resolution of 1280 X 720 in which all the incoming signals are displayed at 720p. Hitachi has used a three panel LCD system in which each panel is used for red, green, and blue colors. One of the drawbacks of the use of LCD technology is the screen door effect. In screen door effect you can easily see the space between the pixels especially during bright scenes. The speakers have been intelligently placed inside the cabinet at the bottom of the screen which reduces the width of the set on both sides of the screen by quite a few inches.

The dimensions of the set are 57 inches in width, 35 inches in height and 19 ½ inches in depth. The set weighs in at just above 100 pounds. The set offers a good performance giving good colors although there is room for improvement as far as the black levels are concerned.
