Sony KV-27FS120 27-Inch FD Trinitron WEGA Flat Screen TV
close to perfect
Most of the time this TV delivers a remarkably tight, accurate, bright picture.  I can't imagine how it could be better.  Depending on the source the picture can be astonishingly good.  The bells and whistles incorporated into this set are likewise  very satisfying to use.  Not too many useless buttons, just enough useful functions.  Most of the time the set does its thing perfectly well without any adjustments from the function menu, but the right functions are there like a godsend when necessary.  My set has a slightly annoying hump in horizontal bands across the bottom of the screen, noticable when news channels run their ticker tapes along the bottom.  It's noticable when some horizontal spreads across the top of the screen, too, but this happens less often.  Measured, this bump must only be 3 or 4 millimeters off level, but it's just enough to notice and make someone like me wish I knew how to adjust it out, if possible.  All things being equal this quirk, and a faint tint of blue on the left side of the screen when the program is all white, represent less than 1/2 of a percent of the total performance of the set, and I'd say it's the best TV I've ever owned--and I've owned a lot of them, sony's included.  The sound is fine although per standard the set lacks a woofer; the only improvement to it would be to go to an amp and speaker system . . .  <br />
