Sony KV-20FS12 20" Trinitron Wega Flat-Screen TV
Crisp, Clear Picture Makes This TV a Winner
Overall, an excellent product by a company known for its technological advances.  Summary of TV below:<br />Dimensions:  This TV takes up a fair amount of physical space considering it's one of the smaller screen TVs on the market.  Approximate dimensions are 23&quot; w X 22&quot; d X 19&quot; h .<br />Display:  Clear crisp picture provided by the digital comb filter.  Really couldn't be much better.<br />Controls:  Intuitive remote control (i.e. I didn't have to read the instruction book to figure out most of the features), though the remote itself is a bit small.  Some of the buttons like the &quot;jump&quot; button, which takes you back to the last channel you were watching is practically microscopic and located inconveniently on the left in the middle of the remote.  The menu displays onscreen and you use the arrow and enter keys to manipulate what you want.  The only other small gripe I have is that one of the picture control categories is a bit unclear.  For example, &quot;picture&quot; really means contrast (why didn't they just call it contrast?).  Other than what I've mentioned here, it's very easy to find your way around this Sony.<br />AV input:  Plenty of inputs galore to satisfy most home entertainment systems.  I used the component video cables (which provide an awesome picture BTW), hooked the TV up to my stereo receiver, hooked the receiver up to my VCR and DVD player and for a very modest price I am able to experience stuff on this TV in high wattage stereo sound.<br />Sound:  The stereo speakers take up quite a bit of physical space.  Given this, you would think the sound would be a bit better.  The main gripe I have is that there is no bass/treble control for the TV's speakers.  Luckily I can control this on my stereo receiver but if you don't have that, you're pretty much stuck with the Sony factory presets on this one.<br />I only have one other minor gripe - for the first week there was a fairly strong &quot;hot&quot; smell that came from the back of the TV.  The guy at Best Buy told me sometimes stuff gets spilled inside the unit and just needs to burn off.  It did take about a week to burn off and now the TV is fine.  I was going to exchange it after a week if it didn't but all is well so don't panic if you smell a little heat from the unit at first.  It also depends on your own sensitivities as well.  Generally, I'm very pleased with this TV.  The main selling feature is the amazingly sharp picture and the glare reduction because of the flat screen.  My DVDs have never looked better.  There are cheaper flat screen TVs out there but I think it's best to go with Sony because they have been consistently rated well in consumer magazines.  For overall value and quality this is excellent.  I would have given it  4/12 stars but I can't so I give this TV 4 stars and recommend it.back of the TV.
