Sony KV-27FV300 FD Trinitron Wega 27" TV
Amazing with DVDs
This Sony model is packed with features and yet is easy to use. With the flick of a button you can set 4 different video choices: vivid, standard, movie or sport. Vivid is too strong for some channels, producing graininess, so switch to standard and watch the picture instantly improve. Where vivid can be used (most live or videotape broadcasts, DVDs) it is fantastic. Hard to believe that HDTV could do better.  Sound quality is also exceptional even without external speakers attached. PIP is a snap to use.<BR>There are enough interfaces to satisfy almost any video freak, including a few in front to connect video cameras for playback.<BR>Drawbacks? Not many. The unit is a heavy 106 pounds and the silver finish, although nicely done, strikes me as a faddish affectation. A good buy.
