If you can't afford HDTV but want the highest quality possible from conventional analog television, take a look at this Sony. The picture quality is superb, with clean, lifelife colors that aren't overblown or oversaturated like so many other TVs. I haven't experienced any geometry problems with my unit. The audio quality isn't amazing, but is above average. The remote control is easy to use, and the menus are simple and intuitive. I really like the size of this TV -- the cabinet isn't a whole lot deeper than my previous 19" TV, and the screen isn't so big that it looks ridiculous in my small apartment. I'm very glad I paid a little more money for a TV that offers a lot more in terms of quality.

Using the DVD component inputs and good audio interconnects the picture and sound is superb. The television for it's size is the best deal for the money and works great in a bedroom. If you need a set of the bedroom you can't go wrong purchasing is model from Sony.

I use this TV in my bedroom and I must admit, it's better than the 27" in my living room (a 2000 model Sony). Component video is a plus, as the DVD quality is excellent. Even the VCR looks good. This model has S-Video unlike its 20" counterpart. Many people on Circuit City's site complained of a geometry problem. I do not have that problem but it can be fixed easily if ones set does have it. It's deeper and wider than most 24" sets and forced me to modify my TV stand, but it's worth it.

I don't have a lot of space, so i was looking for something small. This wasn't it....(it does measure 30 inches from side to side) I wanted to get one of those nice slim flat panel TVs, but those are way too much. You get your bang for the buck with this, a big huge flat sreen with 3 picture modes, a very easy to use input toggle (you can toggle between DVD, VCR, Video game system), most importantly it blows my 13 inch miles away! This is a great step foward for people who want a new 'modern' TV but can't really part with too much cash for a flat panel.

I ordered this set from Sony to replace one of three that got cooked by lightening. I tried a Samsung slim fit 37 and a Vizio 32 inch LCD first and returned them both because of poor picture quality. The picture on this set is very good, it has outstanding color and I like the small remote. I have always like the quality of Sony products, however, they dont seem to hold up as long as Sanyo, etc. The 24 inch screen is hard to find so I ordered it from Sony while they were having a free shipping deal. (still paid more) I've had it for about 2 months and have had no problem. It's the best picture in a small crt that I have seen.

I have a little older model that this.. as well as a 32" Wega Triniton. The color and detail are unmatched for a non HDTV.
No troubles... and I have had both sets for almost over 3 years.

[Low rating is for delivery condition only- identical smaller screen Sony Trinitron WEGA TVs have been 5 star purchases]

Other reviewers warning against having this size TV shipped to you are offering sound advice:

The unreinforced carton measures 31" x 25" x 23" and has a curb weight of 85 lbs (shipped via UPS -- very awkward for one delivery person to wrestle).

The molded styro packing was the same thickness the company uses on its smaller TVs; the carton had no internal bracing to protect the contents from shifting.

Previous deliveries of smaller units had turned out well; however, for this one, the TV's case surrounding the screen was in pieces - every corner had been smashed.

WE PURCHASED THIS TV FOR OUR TRAVEL TRAILER AND WE JUST LOVE IT. THE PICTURE QUALITY IS WONDERFUL. WE ARE VERY PLEASED WITH EVERYTHING ABOUT THE TV.

Looks great in our apartment. What a great picture, too. And it's easy to use the various features. It had a couple slight dings from the shipping, but it's really solid -- nothing to worry about there. It's somewhat big front to back (kind of like an old school set), so it's not as slick as the flat screen panel-type sets. But what a great value.

Great TV!! I purchased this for my kids to play video games and for other everyday uses. So far we Love it!! Great Picture and sound quality, it's a sony wouldnt expect anything else. Delivered in PERFECT condition. Another great order from Amazon-THANKS!!
