Great little set

 

I have come to hate buying television. So many options, so many decisions, always a headache making the final selection. My husband said two words: Sony WEGA. I told him he would have to sell me, and he did. This set really is solid, and heavy, ...

Great clarity

Heavy set, expensive

Not HDTV, but pretty darn close

 

This is an excellent TV for just about any videophile under the sun unless you can't live without HDTV. Installing the TV was an adventure. As the other reviewers have said, this baby has some weight in it. It took me and my Dad to lift it out of the ...

Beautiful picture and sound, lots of features, plenty of inputs

H-E-A-V-Y, displays imperfections in poor signals

A masterpiece... an absolutely stunning television!!!

 

I remember the day our 13-year-old television finally bit the dust. The old saying, "You never appreciate what you've got until it's gone" is not always true. Sometimes, you never appreciate what you don't have until what you do have is ...

Breathtaking picture clarity; eye-popping colors; excellent sound; 2-tube picture-in-picture

Very heavy; remote control buttons are not backlit; expensive

The best 27" TV available

 

We bought the KV-27FV17 about a month ago when our 12 year old 27" NEC started getting lines in the middle of the screen. We wanted a Sony TV to complete our system of other Sony products. I use a Sony flat screen monitor for my computer and just...

WOW! What a great picture. Enhanced 16x9.

Heavy. Slightly expensive, but worth it.

Great TV - Above average

 

Great TV! Flat screen and the most important is the picture in picture. I found this to be one of the best selling points of this TV. It allows you to watch two channels simultaneously. The ease of Sony products comes with a little practice. ...

Flat screen. Component system. Picture in picture.

Costly. Could get a larger non-Sony TV for less, easily.
