Amazon.com Product Description
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.

The KE-42TS2 sports a resolution of 1024 x 1024 (1024 dots x 1024 lines), and its built-in NTSC tuner means you may not need any external hardware to watch TV. For precision control, the KE-42TS2 allows you to make color temperature adjustments (to compensate for variations in ambient lighting) and dot phase adjustment when being used as a computer monitor. Its onscreen menus are available in English, Spanish, and French, and it can display closed captioning for the hearing impaired or silent viewing.

A direct DVI (digital video interface) HDTV connection ensures that through digital transmission of HD signals from external devices featuring a DVI connector, images retain their fullest quality. The set also has HD component-video and S-Video inputs for connecting a DVD player or other high-resolution device, an RF input for connecting a VCR, and composite-video inputs for connecting a camcorder or video game. Its audio outputs include a separate subwoofer feed. Audio and video inputs are located on both the front and the back of the TV for easy access.

The KE-42TS2 can be wall mounted with the optional wall bracket, or placed on the floor using the optional floor stand.

For all of you logical minded folks out there - I had sent an email to jkr_seller@yahoo.com. This seller of he "Sony KE42TS2 42" WEGA HDTV Integrated Flat Panel Plasma TV" for $800 requests the interested buyer to do this.

The cheapest place I have found this TV is at GoodGuys for $3,499, so I am obviously on the alert. I have received the following email text from email address: "Ginger Zimmerman" "

Hello Ashton Pitts,

The price for the Sony KE42TS2 42" is 800 USD, the Sony KE42TS2 42" is brand new, with all standard accessories.
For shipping i am using UPS and for the payment Western Union managed by a third part service (Square Trade).
So please tell me if agree in starting a transaction,
I wait your reply
Thank you

Just as R. Zurbick correctly forewarned, the buyer is asking to be paid outside of Amazon through a 3rd party service via Wester Union. I have responded back to the seller to see if they will accept legit payment such as through amazon and/or a credit card. I will post a review if I hear back... Until then, I am remaining open minded but very guarded. I suggest you do the same.

I owned this plasma for appx two(2) months now and I am so glad that I bought it, however I should of bought it a long time ago because I missed a lot for quality HD tv. I have my TV hooked up to Comcast cable in Chicago Il. I am very happy with their service but there is a additional charge of $5.00usc for high definition hook up. Well worth the money! Also I would like to give kudos to A.B.T. store where I purchased the tv, Sony Dream System along with a beautiful stand for everything, If you want the best out there go directly to A.B.T store in suburb of Chicago, well worth the trip!! If you just want a simple TV don't go there. What else more could I say? P.S. I watch more TV now then ever! Thats' OK 'cause I am retired!
