Sony KV35S42 35" Stereo Color TV (gray)
Great value, Beautiful Picture !
I was in the market for a basic 36\\" TV with component video inputs. I almost bought the Toshiba 36A40/50 until I came across this Sony KV35S42 which was on sale at [a local store] around Thanksgiving 2001. Great value. The quality of the Sony Trinitron picture is outstanding. I use S-video for connecting my Pioneer DVD player to the TV, resulting in sharp and crisp picture while watching DVD movies. The built-in 5 Watt TV speakers produce surprisingly pleasant sound with impressive accuracy. Remote control is easy to use.<br />Strengths:<BR>Great picture quality watching DVD movies. Even watching regular channel TV using basic outdoor roof-top antenna gives satisfactory result. At the price I paid, it was an outstanding value.<br />Weaknesses:<BR>No component video inputs.<BR>I am just a little concerned about the recent reliability issue (from what I've read) regarding Sony TVs, although I haven't had any problem with mine owning this TV for over a year.
