Fifty-three inches is about midway up the screen-size ladder and Sony's KP-53V80 is about midway up the rear-projection TV feature ladder. It's got plenty of resolution for DVD and satellite sources plus a bunch of picture enhancements. Its comb filter a 3D-YC version is the best of its kind at reducing cross-color and other types of artifacts that plague big-screen sets. Sony provides selectable color temperatures. The protective high-contrast screen is great for shielding the TV from harm but doesn't enhance picture quality. Fortunately it can be removed.For convenience buffs Sony's dual-tuner PIP (picture-in-picture) lets you view two programs at once in a variety of ways. The two channels can appear at the same size side by side. Or you can choose the more traditional configuration of one small window within a larger one. The small box can be moved anywhere around the screen. The KP-53V80 lets you label up to eight of your favorite channels. The remote control which is preprogrammed to operate other Sony gear and many brands of cable boxes includes both backlighting and a joystick. S-Link jacks enable communication with other similarly equipped Sony components. An audio system with 20 watts x 2 channels and simulated surround sound completes the feature package.

Introducing the world's first consumer television with the innovative LiFi¿ light source. LiFi stands for LIght FIdelity. This is a brand-new way to achieve long light source life quick start-up time and high color fidelity for projection displays. Unlike conventional LCD projection TVs the LiFi light source lasts so long it might never need to be changed. The High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps used in conventional LCD projection TVs contain electrodes that deteriorate causing diminished brightness and possible damage to the lamp itself. LiFi does not utilize electrodes which helps achieve more stable performance and a long lifespan. The light source in Panasonic LiFi HDTVs offers full spectrum illumination that faithfully reproduces brilliant red emerald green and natural skin tones. Whether you're watching hidden camera footage of rare Amazon Forest dwellers or taking in the local newscast the lifelike color is a bright beautiful enhancement to your HDTV experience.The LiFi lamp is an advancement in technology that offers advantages that you can see and hear - or not in the case of scintillation noise. HID lamps generate noise especially at high brightness levels. You won't hear the hum with the LiFi because it operates at lower wavelengths. Plus because the small LiFi bulb heats up quickly when you power up the start-up time of the HDTV is as low as 10 seconds. Once your HDTV is ready to watch there's no flicker as with some LCD TVs.Everything about the LiFi HDTV is designed to bring you to a new level of viewing pleasure. The amazing colors are boosted by the floating feeling provided by the flat panel design and the audio is rendered more lifelike by the invisible speakers that help fuse picture and sound.
