Sony KP-57WS520 57-Inch Hi-Scan 1080i HD-Ready Projection TV Specifications
Broad, vivid, rear-projection images can be yours with Sony’s 57-inch Hi-Scan KP-57WS520. The set uses Sony’s HD Microfocus CRT and lens system, featuring smaller phosphor particles, thinner phosphor layers, and other improvements that give the set a beam spot 28-percent smaller than Sony’s standard CRTs. And that means sharper focus, higher contrast, and brighter images. The screen features a wide, 16:9 aspect ratio that matches the dimension of most movies and HDTV broadcasts, and the KP-57WS520 is compatible with standard-definition 480i, enhanced-definition 480p, and high-definition 720p and 1080i sources.
The set’s HD Detailer wideband video amplifier provides high detail from high-res images to give you the best possible image from high-bandwidth sources. Auto 16:9 enhanced mode with auto ID1 detection automatically renders anamorphic DVD content in letterboxed widescreen, using all available display lines for the image and wasting none on the black bars that frame the image when a program’s widescreen aspect ratio differs slightly from the set’s.
Digital Reality Creation (DRC) circuitry ensures high picture resolution, while proprietary Direct Digital Circuitry increases a video signal’s signal-to-noise ratio before it reaches the DRC circuit, ensuring rich, natural-looking images from any source. TwinView 2-tuner PIP (picture-in-picture) lets you view any 2 sources simultaneously–even 2 TV stations. Sony’s MID-X (Multi Image Driver) maintains the integrity of a digital signal by minimizing image loss in the scaling process.
Sony’s CineMotion 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal is a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. Digital video mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.
The set offers 2 different digital video interfaces: a Digital Visual Interface (DVI-HDTV) and an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface), each of which permits a direct digital connection with a compatible DTV set-top box. Other connections include 2 component-video inputs, 4 composite-video inputs, 3 S-video inputs (with 1 each composite-/S-video on the front panel for ready connection to a camcorder or gaming console), and 2 RF coaxial inputs and 1 coaxial output for hookup with an older VCR, cable box, or antenna.

Sony KP-57WS520 57-Inch Hi-Scan 1080i HD-Ready Projection TV CustomerReview
Purchased the TV from Best Buy in Feb. 2005. No issues with the TV for the first five years. Because it is a Sony, I do not for see any problems in the next 5. I also own a Sony 36″ picture tub TV that in going into its 12 year without any problems. The only thing about the TV that I do not like know is the size. LCDs take up a lot less space, but they still have yet to stand the test of time. This monster has last 5 years and I am sure it will last another 5, so 1040 HD picture is what it is no mater what size or how big the TV may be. Hence, I will be sticking with this TV a few years more, and will replace it with another Sony.
