4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Picture but....., December 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sony KV-24FV10 24" Trinitron Wega TV (Electronics)

I rencently purchased the 24" WEGA and here are my comments:

Strenghts: 1. Superb picture quality The picture on the WEGA is unbelievable. The colors are very natural. The picture is sharp and crisp.

2. Flat Screen makes the difference The flat screen does make a tremendous difference to the picture. I compared the WEGA to Panasonic SuperFlat and found the WEGA to be much better in color (Panasonic has slighly "unnatural" colors" as well as overall picture quality) and SuperFlat is not "ruler" flat as the WEGAs.

3. Looks I personally like the silver finish of the WEGA. They add personality to your living room.

4. Sturdy Construction The WEGAs are solid (and heavy !)

Weaknesses

1. Lack of Component Video inputs For such a high price I was expecting component video inputs.

2. Cant hold blacks This a major drawback. When the "black" level in the DVD player is set to "high" / "dark" (many DVD players have the option of setting the black level), the WEGA cannot handle it and switched back and forth between the blank "DVD" screen and the movie being played.

3. Picture modes The WEGA has three picture modes : Standard, Vivid and Movie. Movie is the best bet, Standard is OKish but Vivid is horrible. I was expecting a better set of modes.

Verdict :

Overall excellent picture, pricey. If you plan to buy a DVD player to go with the WEGA, make sure that it has the ability to change the black level.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tried one, then filled house full with them!, December 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sony KV-24FV10 24" Trinitron Wega TV (Electronics)

One day, I was in Circut City looking at all the high prices when, bam, it hit me like a stone. The Sony KV-24FV10 TV! I thought I'd try one. I was reluctant to for over the cash (not at Circut City), but I still did it. When I got home, I was amazed at the ease of setup. As I connected the S-Video cable to the back I was worried that this TV may be of lesser quality than the one at the store, yet I went on. After I poped the 007 DVD in the player, I was amazed! I almost fell over, and I'm not kidding. Today, 1 month after that amazing event, I have a total of 3 of these TVs. Two 24s and a 36. I love them and will not switch to anything else.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best TV I every owned! Super clear and bright, October 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sony KV-24FV10 24" Trinitron Wega TV (Electronics)

Crisp, bright - exceptional clear view is what you will get on a completely flat screen. It is just breath taking to view. The speakers at the side are pretty good too, especially the clearity of sound and the output is 10 watts which is very much a surprise. Turning up the volume is very loud.

The case is very good looking and extremely modern even going into the 2000!

Just cannot wait to finish the family room to buy a 36 inche version or a 43 in remote projection.

You cannot go wrong and the extra cost is very worth the investment.

Go for it.
