Sony Grand WEGA KF-60WE610 60-Inch LCD HDTV Rear Projection TV Review

Sony Grand WEGA KF-60WE610 60-Inch HDTV-Ready LCD Rear Projection TV

Step up to a larger screen with Sony’s KF-60WE610 60″ Grand WEGA LCD Rear Projection TV. You’ll find yourself entranced by vivid images and amazing sound effects as you reap the benefits our unique features offer you. The WEGA Engine? system maintains the picture in the digital domain, while the Optical Engine delivers high-resolution picture corner-to-corner. Enjoy the stunning detail and clarity enabled by this television’s 3.28 million dots resolution. Fixed pixel display and constant light eliminate flicker, Enhanced Memory Stick Media make images and MP3s come to life on screen, and the HDTV monitor produces outstanding picture quality. Visual excellence and surreal sound meet in the perfect size — large.

As far as rear-projection TVs go, the KF-60WE610 is one of the most attractive industrial designs we’ve seen from any manufacturer. It is a truly impressive-looking TV, and the matching optional SU-GW1 stand is also quite elegant. The set’s silver finish is offset by black borders around the edges of the screen, which may also aid in increasing perceived contrast for a higher-impact picture.

At 21.25 inches deep, the 60WE610 is slimmer than CRT-based rear-projection sets and weighs much less: only 100 pounds. The aforementioned stand or a similar item will be required to raise the set to eye level; on its own, it stands only 42 inches tall.

The KF-60WE610 uses new higher-resolution LCD panels that have a native resolution of 1,386×768. That’s more than enough to display every pixel of a720p HDTV source. As with other fixed-pixel displays, all sources are scaled to fit the panel’s pixels. You’ll need an external HDTV tuner to watch high-def on this monitor.

This set’s convenience features are simply too numerous to list. Multiple aspect ratios assure that you will be able to watch all video sources in their correct proportions. For sports fans, a dual-tuner PIP feature is onboard. Audio features include TruSurround SRS for a simulated surround-sound experience from the set’s two speakers, 3D Audio system, and Steady Sound automatic volume control.

Of course, the 60WE610 boasts a number of picture-enhancing features as well. The Cinemotion setting in the user menu engages 2:3 pull-down for film-based material. The screen is superior to most of the competition’s and reduces the screen door effect, where individual pixels become visible (we didn’t see pixels unless we sat extremely close to the screen). There are three preset picture modes: Vivid, Standard, and Pro, all of which have different preset picture levels but can be adjusted. Three selectable color temperatures include Warm, Neutral, and Cool, with Warm usually the closest to the NTSC standard of 6,500 Kelvins.
