This 50 inch value offering from Sony falls near the bottom of it's lineup totem pole for 2013 and thus strives to offer a great price even though the screen sizes are getting larger. The KDL-50R450A has lots to offer the value shopper however as Sony makes reliable TVs with their superior video chip sets (even if the other parts are made by other manufacturers). Sony has Direct LED specification on this LCD HDTV, which means that rather than CCFL fluorescent backlighting you get LED backlights (full array). This is not to be confused with the more robust and bright edge-lighting LEDs that Sony uses in their higher end models. The LED backlights adds some depth to the TV.
