3.0 out of 5 stars Check your Picture Tube, December 6, 2001

This review is from: Sony KV-20FV12 20" FD Trinitron WEGA TV (Electronics)

I purchased the KV-20FV12 20" over the FS model for 2 reason: The addition of S-Video in and side speakers. Well, to my dismay, the first unit I had had a crooked picture! The image on the TV tilted to the right, and was extremely obvious when viewing letterbox DVDs. I had to return the unit for another which did not have this problem.

When making a purchase such as this, make sure that your Wega Tube is aligned correctly, as it can be very annoying watching a crooked picture on a high-quality flat screen.

Overall, I'm happy with my purchase, but I still think that Toshiba has offerings that are just as good and cost $80 less. I am a Sony purist, so I went with this TV.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still the best, January 3, 2001

I recently purchased a panasonic CT-20SX10 because i figuredthat with component video and more inputs it would be far better thanthe wega. i was wrong. ... and i quickly returned it and switched to wega. it is .... there are great features like tilt adjustment and the sound quality is far superior to that of the panasonic pureflat. the picture is clear all the way to the edges. the problem of there being only 1 s-video input can be easily solved by purchasing an s-video switch. the remote is also very well laid out and it works well with my sony dvd player. it is still the best 20 inch tv available.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best 20 inch Picture on the Market, December 16, 2000

Nothing comes close to the Sony KV-20FV12 20 Television. This is without a doubt the crispest and sharpest picture of any 20-inch television on the market. Sony's WEGA flat screen with FD Trinitron tube and 3-line digital comb filter on this model makes a big improvement over picture quality compared to all other 20 inch sets of any manufacturer. It also has a rear S-video input for DVD and Laser Disc players and Super-VHS recorders for higher picture resolution. Highly recommended. This is the best.
