Sony KD-27FS170 27-Inch FD Trinitron WEGA Digital TV Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great TV by means of picture quality. Component input is superb. S-Video is really good also. I only have a few complaints though. There is no option to adjust the treble or bass for the audio. Also there is no audio out so you cant hook up a stereo or other speakers. Also when the screen is almost all white such as watching a hockey game you can see two pink shades of colored lines about 3-4 inches thick running vertical on the left and right side of the screen, which is probably the speaker's(built in the tv) magnetic field causing that. Other than the few complaints the tv is really nice. Thats why I give it 4 of 5!

You don't have to take out a second mortgage to enjoy crisply colorful, high definition-quality video and audio with the 27-inch Sony Trinitron KD27FS170 flat CRT television. The visually flat FD Trintron tube minimizes annoying glare from light sources, enhancing contrast, and corner-to-corner detail is rendered more accurately because images aren't distorted by a curved screen. It features both built-in analog and digital tuners, which enables you to receive digital ATSC programming via terrestrial signals (over-the-air) for watching highly detailed HD broadcasts.
You'll get great picture reproduction from compatible cable/satellite set-top boxes and DVD players using the three-jack component video (Y/Pb/Pr) inputs, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections.
The KD27FS170 has a 4:3 aspect ratio and produces standard definition, 480i (interlaced) resolution, but the picture quality will be greatly enhanced using the component video connection. Also, this set provides a wide screen mode for watching digital 16:9 (widescreen) broadcasts in their original widescreen format, or you can choose the zoom function to fill the 4:3 aspect ratio screen.
The digital 3-line comb filter compares each horizontal scanning line with the lines above and below, separating black-and-white detail from color information to virtually eliminate edge crawls and rainbow effects while enhancing horizontal resolution and minimizing video noise. It also offers the following convenience features:
Parental Control (V-Chip) helps parents monitor what their children watch on TV by establishing rating limits.
Favorite Channel function enables you to set up and select from up to five of your favorite channels.
Program Palette presets offer combinations of picture settings engineered to make the most of specific entertainment types (choose from Vivid, Standard, Movie and Sports).
Front panel controls allows access to the on-screen menus without the use of a remote control.
Front composite A/V inputs let you quickly connect video games, camcorders, or stereo/mono equipment.
Meets Energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency.
This set has built-in stereo speakers that produce 5 watts of power per channel (for 10 watts of total power) as well as Dolby Digital for 5.1-channel surround sound. It offers the following connection options:
Composite (RCA audio/video): 2 inputs (1 front)
S-Video: 1 input (audio connection uses composite left/right audio jacks)
Component (Y/Pb/Pr): 1 input (with left/right audio jacks)
RF: 1 analog VHF/UHF and 1 digital ATSC

What's in the Box Flat-screen CRT television, remote control (with batteries), printed operating instructions
Warranty 1 year parts, 90 days labor, 2 years picture tube

Sony Bravia S-Series KDL-32S2010 32-Inch LCD HDTV Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I conducted an extensive and exhaustive review of all 32" LCD TVs currently available prior to making my TV selection. I narrowed my choices to the following: the Panasonic TC-32LX60, the Samsung LN-S3251D, and the Sony KDL 32S2010. All had excellent pictures, realistic color rendition and a fine balance between contrast and depth of black level. I eliminated the Panasonic because it did not have a PC input port which I though long term would be something I would use more and more of. Also the Panasonic did not have the quality depth of blacklevel the others had. The Samsung was eliminated since the high gloss black cabinet finish reflected room lights and you could see window reflections as well. This became more and more of a distraction as I watched the TV since my eyes tended to be drawn to those reflections on the panel surrounding the screen. I ultimately decided to go with the latest 32" Sony -- the KDL 32S2010 and can now report I am completely pleased with it. One additional advantage of the Sony is that it has very easy to read, understand and navigate owner's manual. Setting up the TV was a breeze. As a final point, Amazon (via J&R) had the best price on the TV of any online site.
