A thoroughly luxurious design. Grand Wega style stands out yet goes well with a variety of interior design layouts. Accented in aluminum on front, it is a generous 50-inch widescreen that is still relatively light, slim, and compact for this size: only 35 cm deep, without the stand, and 42 kg. In performance, this set raised the bar for brightness and highly detailed images at the time, with an HD-compatible panel and an original Sony optical engine.
