Bring a true cinema experience into your own living room with the 50-inch Sony KDFE50A10 rear-projection LCD TV, which features a new design with a thin dark black bezel, a compact body and invisible speakers located at the bottom of the set. It features built-in analog (NTSC) and HDTV digital (ATSC) tuners. (Digital high-definition programming is available via terrestrial signals (over-the-air) or unscrambled cable signals provided by your cable company.) It's also Digital Cable Ready, so you can enjoy digital cable without an additional box or remote.
The KDFE50A10 uses the 3LCD video projection system, which combines three LCD panels to produce an image for a brighter picture in well-lit rooms, intensly vibrant natural colors, and spectacular HD performance. It's driven by Sony's WEGA Engine System, which delivers superb picture quality from any video source by minimizing the signal deterioration caused by digital-to-analog conversion and stabilizing the signal processing.
The Digital Reality Creation line doubling feature replaces the signal's NTSC waveform with the HD equivalent, while doubling the number of vertical and horizontal lines. This results in four times the density for quality sources, such as DVD, satellite and digital camcorders. The CineMotion technology feature uses reverse 3-2 pull down technology, providing smoother picture movement when playing back movies or other video sources on film. Other features include the Steady Sound audio equalizer (for consistent output between programs and commercials), parental controls (V-chip), Favorites channel list, front AV Inputs for connecting camcorders or video game consoles,and an HDMI connection for uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface between the TV and any HDMI-equipped audio/video component.
It has a 24-watt stereo audio system (two 12-watt speakers) and TruSurround XT compatibility. It features the following video and audio connections:
Composite AV In (RCA): 3 (1 front)
S-Video In: 1
RF In: 1
Component Video In: 3 (1 front)
HDMI In: 1
PC In (D-Sub 15-pin): 1

4. I have had mine for a little over 2 years and now every tech I have talked to says the same thing. Bad set has bad B block almost $1000 to fix. Told them I have another one that has not gone bad yet. They told me to sell it fast before it goes bad. Seems like Sony would realize that to avoid a class action law suit they should recall it. Spoke with Sony customer service and lady kept reading me the same lines. It sounded like she was reading from a script. Be the last Sony anything I buy.

5. Same Problem here, bought mine new a little over two years ago. Got those same damm multi colored vertical lines last week. Technician I just spoke with right now guaranteed me it was the B Block, and would cost $900 to fix it. Technician said he's replaced a TON of them on the TV's under warrantee. Sony products are designed to fail, after a couple years, so you buy new ones. It's how they do business.
Someone should organize a class action suit, how does that work, should a lawyer be contacted?

10. I am in on the class action suit, I just called sony today about this exact problem of rainbow vertical lines, and they would not mention word one about the b block problem they told me they had no clue about this product problem ad refered me to a dealer out in town for repair. they told me it was most likely a b block problem. does any one know the part number to try to order it myself to replace on my own?
