Specifications

Sony • Plasma Wega
™
integrated plasma TVs 32" & 42"
Sony’s brilliant plasma TVs, the 32" KE-32TS2 and 42" KE-42TS2,
combine elegant styling with incredible performance, versatility, and
usability. Both models are completely integrated, plug-and-play TVs
— each includes an NTSC (analog) tuner, built-in stereo speakers, and
a tabletop stand for a totally sleek, slim look. You can have one of these
gorgeous TVs out of the box and ready to watch in just minutes!
Both models deliver beautifully sharp pictures you can enjoy even
in a brightly lit room. The seamless clarity is due to cutting-edge AliS
panel technology and Sony’s Digital Pixel Generator
™
System, which
“scales” signals to match the panel’s resolution. These are HDTV-ready
TVs (to receive HDTV broadcasts, simply connect an HDTV tuner,
like Sony’s acclaimed SAT-HD200 on the facing page). All of your
non-HD signals get a big boost in quality from Sony’s latest video
upconversion circuitry. Input connections include composite, S-video,
HD-capable component video, and DVI — enough for 4 A/V components.
Key Features: HDTV monitor (compatible with HDTV/SDTV formats – when connected to a separate
HDTV tuner – panel resolution is 1024i) • 852 x 1024 pixels; 1024 x 1024 pixels for KE-42TS2 – both

The 42" KE-42XBR900 is a stunning work of
audio/video art. The black stripe framing the
screen makes images really pop, and enhances
the “floating glass” effect. You’ll be mesmerized
by the vivid brightness, rich color palette, and
flicker-free resolution (1024 x 768 pixels).
