SONY KV-24FV300 24" FD Trinitron(R) Wega(TM) TV
A great TV at a bargain price.
I buy a new TV about once every 20 years, so I spend a lot of time agonizing over the choice.  My previous TV was a Mitsubishi 19&quot; TV purchased in 1979. I went with the Sony model in part because the 24 inch version fits the same hole in my stereo &amp; TV entertainment center as did the 19&quot; TV.<br />Its hard to talk much about TV features, there are so many that it difficult to know which will be usefull. The picture has some pre-set settings that are useful.  They label them for sports, movies etc..  Typically they change the lighting and color to correspond to a mood.  It often works better than having to play with the individual settings manually. another nice feature is the steady sound.  I didn't realize what it was at first until I remembered I often took the PBS station off the cable tuner because it would drop in so loud when I had the volume up high. Another reviewer spoke of trouble with the sound.  I believe his problem could have been fixed by changing the sound mode.  There are various spacial choices and more direct sounding modes as well.<br />More features of interest, include a quick scan set of favorite channels, a last channel feature, and up/down channels button along with the direct channel number inputs.  The remote control itself is pretty useful, it can also support typical VCRs and DVD players as well as the TV.<br />Like most Sony's the picture quality is unmatched, the color is true, and the detail sharp.  Check this side by side with a plasma TV and you'll hardly notice any difference.  A minor complaint for installation, this and any other of the TRU-FLAT series of TVs they are putting out today are heavy with a capital &quot;H&quot;, this baby weighs in at about 80 pounds.  My mother got a 36 inch tv that was not TRU-FLAT, and it actually weighs less than this 24 inch one.<br />On the back, the tv has just about any hookup you could ever think of.  I put my TV's through a lot of torture, long hours whether I'm there or not.In about a year of service now I've had zero problems with this set.  If you don't have the four grand to spend on Plasma or HDTV yet, consider this the best place holder you can get till the price comes down on the high end wall monitors.
