SONY KV-24FV300 24" FD Trinitron(R) Wega(TM) TV
Sony has not changed its way of making TVs
The same I see with Sony Television sets. After seeing Sony TVs during the last 20 years my thoughts were to buy a Sony to replace my 15-year-old Magnasonic 21&quot;. The definition is really high, near to HDTVs', with crisp, sharp edges. With the DVD plugged in composite and a gaming console in S-Video, the Set couldn't be more optimized for top quality viewing. The form of the image itself, however, is unbalanced, the screen is tilting and the tilt correction won't correct the problem. There is sometimes image blinking, and while it's only a temporary problem, it can become very annoying afterwards.<BR>Display on screen is the same it has always been with Sony. Green font will sometimes look transparent and will be hard to read, especially when the image's bright or has vivid colors. Channel and video input labels are a big plus, but a storage of 40 channels is not enough, considering that even basic cable surpass 50 channels.<BR>The menus are easy to use, and the looks are very simple compared to the 27&quot; model.<BR>Sound is crystal clear and has good bass response. But in all fairness the plastic set cannot handle the speakers. When fairly loud, the set will vibrate causing huge annoyance in the sound, even when the Bass is at a normal position.<BR>The headphones jack is something extremely rare to be found in TVs nowadays, and that's a good gesture from Sony to put in one on this model.<BR>But overall it's a fairly good model, but if you want to buy it, you buy the name. Similar sets will cost only three quarters the price of this one, and will offer the same quality as this one.
