Sony BRAVIA KDS-50A3000

The Sony BRAVIA KDS-50A3000 was a mid-range, 50" rear-projection HDTV. While Sony's television lineup no longer includes a rear-projection model, the KDS-50A3000 was an affordable option relative to 50" LCD and plasma panels, but suffered from the main drawback of rear-projection technology, a large form factor – 75 lbs and 14.5" deep.

The unit outputs video in 1080p and 120Hz, utilizing three separate SXRD panels for red, green, and blue. Other features include x.v.Color technology, which expands the viewable color range, and Advanced Iris, a function which improves contrast in dark content. The display is equipped with 2 HDMI inputs, as well as PC connectivity.
