The KDF-E55A20 55" Rear Projection TV is one of Sony's latest Grand Wega models, and its clean, compact design gives it a surprisingly small footprint.
The "Digital Cable Ready" KDF-E55A20 gives you two ways to join the digital TV revolution - it can receive both over-the-air and cable high-definition TV signals with no separate set-top box required. To make the most of the built-in cable tuner, request a CableCARD from your local service provider. The CableCARD replaces your cable box, and provides a simpler hookup, slightly better picture, and one less remote control to keep track of.
The KDF-E55A20 gives you plenty of options for viewing a variety of video sources exactly the way you prefer. Selectable viewing modes make it easy to expand standard (4:3) programs to fill the set's 55" widescreen display, eliminating those vertical side "pillars," if you choose. But you needn't be concerned about any negative effects from pillars or "letterbox" bars, or sustained images from video games, news tickers or station logos. All Grand Wegas are virtually immune to screen "burn-in."
