Sony KV27FS12 27" Trinitron WEGA Stereo TV
Flat screen is worth the price
We recently bought the first tv we had bought in ten years. The first time  we saw this tv, we thought that the flat screen was cool, then thought that  the silver sides were distracting. The next time, we weren't that impressed  at all. The third, time, still being drawn to the tv, we thought we would  investigate more. The flat screen really is cool; there is a lot less  distortion. However, the silver of the set can be distracting. We mostly  watch movies at night, and you don't notice when the lights are out. What  put us over the edge on the tv however, was the 16:9 ratio.Again, we watch  mostly movies, and the flat screen combined with the 16:9 ratio was a draw.  The only drawback, again, is the silver color of the tv. Also, do not be  tempt to pay more for the FV model. The primary difference is the location  of the speakers (you can have surround sound with the FV model). However,  by attaching speaker to this model, you get the same effect, but better,  and for less money.
