Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Sony's latest innovation in television is the WEGA FD Trinitron picture tube, which is 11 times flatter than any CRT to precede it. This new technology ensures that you'll get a superior picture performance on this 32-inch TV, which is packed with advanced features. This unit uses a 3-line digital comb filter that analyzes three TV scanning lines at a time, which results in high resolution, pure colors, and minimum flecks of "noise." Sony has also included velocity modulation scanning, which actually varies the scanning beam speed to render picture transitions accurately. There is also vertical aperture compensation, which sharpens the picture definition and edge detail on the vertical plane, producing sharp horizontal edges.

Sony also delivers strong stereo sound performance on this unit. Auto SRS sound enhancement creates a vivid stereo image, using the principles of human hearing to make the sound appear to come from widely separated speakers. This TV comes with dynamic acoustic chamber speakers, which develop rich, satisfying sound with pinpoint stereo imaging. Sony's tapered enclosures are folded around the back of the picture tube, maximizing output while minimizing bulk. In addition, Sony has included Steady Sound automatic volume control with BBE, which equalizes the volume levels so that there is consistency between programs and commercials.

Concerned parents will appreciate the V-chip parental control feature, which allows parents to lock out programming unsuitable for younger viewers. A unique feature is "Freeze Memo," which allows you to freeze what's on-screen--be it a Web site address or telephone number--so you can write it down.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best 32" out there, but too expensive, March 21, 2000

This review is from: Sony KV-32FS10 32" Wega Trinitron TV (Electronics)

First let me say that I absolutely love this tv. I've had it for 7 days now, and though I haven't gotten the Video Essentials disc to fine tune it yet, it is still amazing. I did lots of comparison shopping and, like most folks, it came down to the superflat Panasonic and this one. They are similiar in many ways, and I do wish that this one had some things that the Panasonic did, I went with this one anyway. I am picky about my home theater setup so I demanded a lot, and got it.

Pros: GREAT picture, great sound (in my opinion- some say it is too weak w/10 watts per channel, but I think it is fine.), all the right inputs, GREAT remote and menu, and just plain cool looking.

Cons: PRICE! (I know this is supposedly the best of the bunch at 32", but come on! And the 2 models higher than this only really add PIP and XBR and they cost plenty more.) Did have to put the tilt control to +1 to even out the picture (thank God that is an option and we don't have to take it for repair!) I did notice when I played the "Tarzan" dvd that on the main menu there is a blue spot in the upper left hand corner- I have heard of this in previous postings and will have to call Sony about it, but that's not enough to make me want to take it back. Last thing, it is HEAVY. With the box it's close to 200 pounds so have a strong back or 2 people doing the moving.

So in closing, this is in my opinion the BEST 32" on the market- if you love Sony like me, and have the money it is definitely worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Much better than expected, December 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sony KV-32FS10 32" Wega Trinitron TV (Electronics)

Got this TV just a few days ago. Menu system is excellent, options out the wazoo for the geek who likes that sort of thing (me). If you have SVideo on you cable box, DSS, whatever...bite the bullet and pick up a good SVideo cable (Heck, you're spending so much on a TV, an investment on a cable can't hurt much more). Hoo boy, the difference on this TV from component video to SVideo was staggering. Even nonTVphiles at my house noticed the massive improvement.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great start for a home entertainment system..., January 29, 2000

While the picture is top notch, the sound on this set leaves a bit to be desired for the price. Don't get me wrong, I love this TV! If you have plans to build a home entertainment system using SRS, or currently own a SRS system, this is the TV to buy. It is one heavy mother! I live in a third floor apartment, the thing was a bear to carry up the steps. Opt for delivery and set up if you buy this set. Good luck!
