Review: Cheap Sony LCD a pleasant surprise (Albuquerque Journal)

The KDL-BX420 series is Sony’s least-expensive 1080p LCD, but its picture
quality isn’t half-bad.

By this time next year companies like Sony might not even sell TVs like the
KDL-BX420 series. The CCFL (cold-cathode fluorescent) backlight that
illuminates this TV’s LCD panel is slowly going extinct, replaced especially
in larger screen sizes by LEDs packed into razor-thin cabinets that can
generate more light from less power. They can also generate higher profits.

The BX420 is Sony’s least expensive 1080p TV for 2011, and it’s a very good
value. The picture quality isn’t up to the best non-LED models we’ve seen,
like Samsung’s more expensive LND630, but we noticed no major problems and a
couple of surprising strengths. We wouldn’t recommend it for budget
videophiles, but casual viewers who don’t want to pay more for LED will find
plenty to like about the Sony KDL-BX420.
