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.

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.

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!

This is going to be the base component in my home theatresystem, and I look forward to a lot of "movie nights" at myhouse, now that I have the coolest flat screen TV out of any of my friends! The sounds could have been better, but there's only so much they can do when they build the speakers directly into the set, so if you are picky about sound you should spend the extra $399 and pick up a sony home theatre system -- I know I am shortly. Anyway, in closing -- this TV has a perfectly flat screen, and it is quality! (185 pounds of quality). Get the setup and delivery if you buy it, and consider purchasing the matching TV stand also since it is very heavy and move cheap entertainment centers won't support it. This is the same trinitron technology that I've had in my PC's computer monitor for the last 5 years, and the picture has not degraded 1 bit in those five years. To protect my investment, I did buy the 4 year on site service plan from Best Buy for $119, because I figured that if it ever breaks, it's too heavy to carry in for repairs -- so I'm set to have someone come to my home and repair it (even though I know Sony is quality, and I've never had a single 1 of their products break before!)

I bought this TV 6 weeks ago. The picture is fabulous but there is one big problem. The composite video performs ok, but the component video does not work correctly. I have a Panasonic DVD-A120 player that performs flawlessly on a Sony XBR-200 FV32 but has horrible looking horizontal lines of different color on the KV-32FS10. I'm currently in the process of contacting Sony to see what my options are for repairing these problems, however all I got was a busy signal in the three times I tried to call so far.

I just wanted to share my own experience with the Sony WEGA 32 inch TV that I just received today. Though I didn't get the higher end FV model or even the XBR model, the FS version is incredible in it's own right. The picture is sharp and the colors are incredibly broght and vivid. The TV and size is great for anyone who has a comfortable apt with a decent sized living room. The speakers are pretty good on their own right though if you've got this TV, you probably will have a home theatre setup. I've been staring at this TV for months and I finally bought it - and all I can say is WOW :)

I LOVE THIS TV. The picture from a DVD through the component video connection is remarkably clear and the color breathtaking.

Sound is first rate even through the built-in speakers, and the remote learned to control my DVD and VCR, even though one isn't a Sony component. Neat.

This tv is for afficionados. Truly enjoy the quality of the picture and sound. I have seen that some people did not think that the sound was as good as they had hoped for, but these speakers are built-in. If you spent the money for this then I guess that you will also go out and buy a sound system for it as well. It did take me a few days to get each of the different picture settings to my liking, worth the effort. I was not particularly impressed with the picture until I had them adjusted. I searched around for quite a while before I bought this tv and the verdict was close. Panasonic Superflat-vs-Wega.Wega won on two accounts: It is a better unit on several points...

This this is magnificent... Next best thing to going to the movies. If you are a video game player, it is perfect, and DVD's play so sweet on this thing... It is an amazing television, and worth the price. Get it!

My wife and I had been looking for a good TV for quite some time. This was something that caught our attention in terms of looks and specs and it's been the same for the last 3 months that we've had it now. Excellent value for the price, especially the sound!
