Sony KE-42XS910 Review
The good: Sleek, modern styling; has quasi-independent input memories; good video processing, with 2:3 pull-down.
The bad: Color decoder accentuates red; below-average black-level performance; cannot change aspect ratio with high-def sources.
The bottom line: Sony's middle-tier plasma is still extremely expensive, with average performance balanced by the same sleek styling that graces its flagship model.
