Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Take your home theater experience to the next level with the 30-inch Sony KV-30XBR910 FD Trinitron HDTV monitor. This Sony WEGA set is capable of displaying amazingly clear 1080i high-definition broadcasts (when connected to a separate HDTV tuner). The Super Fine Pitch CRT, along with an electron gun and high intensity luminescent phosphor, improves image resolution, providing the highest picture quality reproduction from corner to corner. Other features includes a DVI-HDTV input, an antireflective coating that helps diminish ambient light, and a built-in Memory Stick slot the enables you to view a photo slideshow without having to hook up the camera with cumbersome cords.

The KV-30XBR910's Multi-Image Driver enables you to watch two programs side-by-side from two different sources (1080i, 720p, 480p, or 480i) simultaneously. It has four widescreen modes, including wide zoom (enlarges 4:3 aspect ratio while the upper and lower parts of the picture are condensed to fit 16:9 aspect ratio), normal (4:3 aspect ratio), full (enlarges the 4:3 picture horizontally only to fill the wide screen), and zoom (enlarges the 4:3 picture horizontally and vertically to an equal aspect ratio that fills the 16:9 screen).

It has a built-in 181-chanel NTSC tuner, and Sony's Digital Reality Creation (DRC) mode, which doubles vertical and horizontal lines, resulting in four times the density for such high-quality video sources as DVDs, satellite broadcast, and digital camcorders. You do need a separate HDTV tuner to receive high-definition broadcasts.

The KV-30XBR910 offers a good range of Sony video technology. The Cinemotion 3:2 pulldown cinema video processing detects and compensates film--which is shot at 24 frames per second (fps) compared with video's 30 fps rate--to video for a smooth, theaterlike experience at home. The 3D digital comb filter offers 10-bit signal processing that renders superb gradation of grays, resulting in superior picture detail.

This set features two 7.5-watt speakers that produce TruSurround SRS 3D audio and simulated surround sound. Two component-video inputs (both at the rear) allow you to connect an optional HDTV receiver or a source with component-video outputs. It also has 4 A/V inputs (1 front, 3 rear), 3 S-video inputs (1 front, 2 rear), 1 audio out (rear), 1 monitor (rear), and 1 DVI-HDTV interface (rear).

Tech Talk
Aspect ratio: The aspect ratio refers to the shape of the video image. Standard television has a 4:3 aspect ratio, which is almost square in appearance. Digital television will have either a 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio, which is widescreen and appears rectangular, looking more like a movie screen and filling more of the viewer's field of vision for a more lifelike viewing experience.

Scanning method: Frames of video are made up of many lines of video that are scanned onto a television screen so closely they appear to be a solid picture. The scanning method can be either interlaced or progressive. Interlaced scanning (also used in today's analog TV), indicated by an "i" in the video format, fills in the odd number lines (1,3,5,7...) and then fills in the even number lines (2,4,6,8...) until the frame is complete. Progressive scanning, "p," fills in each line consecutively until the frame is complete, like a computer display.

What's in the Box Sony KV-30XBR910 30-inch TV, remote control (RM-Y188), 2 AA batteries, and printed operating instructions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sony XBR CRT, November 2, 2006
This review is from: SONY KV-30XBR910 30-Inch XBR(R) FD Trinitron(R) WEGA Television (Electronics)
I have the 30 inch CRT HDTV which is apparently no longer available. Sony still makes a 34 inch CRT HDTV in the XBR line. The TVs are heavy. The picture is amazing. The gold standard for HDTV. Its a great TV.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, November 27, 2006
This review is from: SONY KV-30XBR910 30-Inch XBR(R) FD Trinitron(R) WEGA Television (Electronics)
With all of the HDTVs coming out this holiday season, I had to say that the picture on my old (2.5 years) is still fantastic! Just as good as anything i've seen coming from the latest and greatest. The one good thing about this new crop of televisions is that at least the prices are coming down. Summer of 2003 my 30" XBR was retailing for a knee buckling $2000! Anyway, I slightly wish that I had bought the 34" but I am still exceedingly happy with the visuals that I get and the TV is just the right size so that it doesn't become the focal point of the room. Very happy with this purchase.
