Sony KD-30XS955 30-Inch FD Trinitron WEGA CRT HDTV
Superior for HDTV and DVDs.  Not good for analog broadcasts.
After 9 days, I am convinced this is the right set for me.  It does a good job tuning HD broadcasts over the air, using a set-top Terk TV5 antenna. I can view HD from ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, WB and PBS, all of which broadcast from within 10 miles of my home.  An on-screen signal strength meter makes it easy to accurately orient the antenna. I do not recommend this TV if you primarily watch over the air analog broadcasts which display poorly compared to non-HD sets. (I can't comment on cable analog but suspect there could be similar issues.) HD widescreen picture quality is superior corner-to corner judging for color, contrast, brightness, straightness of vertical/horizontal lines and picture clarity, rivaling much more expensive plasma screens. My only complaint is that the pictyure has a faint graininess which you will probably not notice if sitting 6 or more feet from the screen.  That said, there is a definite \\"wow\\" reaction when watching PBS HD and HD sports (FOX baseball, NBA playoffs, NASCAR).  Major sports events, many primetime shows, and a PBS HD-only channnel are already broadcast in widescreen HD.  And the long-term trend is for more.  Also excellent is the display of DVDs using component video cables.  If you get this TV you will like the ability to adjust the screen rotation and vertical position.  Without this, the black bars of a non-widescreen picture may appear off level. Finally, you may want to consider purchasing the 34 inch version if you sit more than 8 feet from the screen and have room for it.
