Back in the days of tube-based rear-projection TVs, a 60" TV came with a giant cabinet that stood out even in large rooms. From the front, Sony's 60" KDF-E60A20 has the sleek, nothing-but-screen look of a large plasma TV. This set is only a little over 20 inches deep and weighs about 100 lbs., so it's a much more room-friendly, practical design than those bygone TVs. Best of all, the crisp, bright picture will impress even the biggest critic.
The "Digital Cable Ready" KDF-E60A20 gives you two ways to join the digital TV revolution - it can receive both over-the-air and cable high-definition TV signals with no separate set-top box required. To make the most of the built-in cable tuner, request a CableCARD from your local service provider. The CableCARD replaces your cable box, and provides a simpler hookup, slightly better picture, and one less remote control to keep track of.
The KDF-E60A20 gives you plenty of options for viewing a variety of video sources exactly the way you prefer. Selectable viewing modes make it easy to expand standard (4:3) programs to fill the set's 60" widescreen display, eliminating those vertical side "pillars," if you choose. But you needn't be concerned about potential screen damage from pillars or "letterbox" bars, or sustained images from video games, news tickers or station logos. All Grand Wegas are virtually immune to screen "burn-in."
