Best Picture and Sound on any Set!!!

The new WEGA flat screen CRT evelops the viewer in the richest colors that can be imagined on a tv set. The combination of flat screen and wonderfuly loud and rich speaker set really makes your Movies come to life. Its price is a bit high, but...

Best Choice for a new TV

I looked at lots of TV's and decided the SONY flat screen tube TV's were the best picture short of HDTV. I liked the 36" model but I found the 32" model to be just as appealling and at a lower price. I think the extra size doesn't add much. And 32" is...

The only TV worth buying under current market conditions

After purchasing my Wega I can't watch non-flat TVs anymore. I guess you get used to good things very fast. The picture is brighter, clearer and sharper compared to a conventional TV. The sound is also richer, even though I would recommend...

Movie Watcher Rejoice!

 

Wow, talk about sharp! I went to Sound Advice, which is a pretty decent sized chain here in South Florida. I was looking for a new TV to replace my old RCA 27? Home Theatre TV, which in my opinion has fallen behind in my quest for the not so...

Sony For less

 

The Sony Trinitron is a great t.v. The picture is superb, and the 2 tuner picture in picture makes it even better. This t.v. is not all that expensive compared to all other Sony makes. This is the best deal your going to get without buying a huge 52...

Impressive Flatness, not so great distortion

 

After having owned a 20 inch Sony Trinitron for more than 15 years, I finally decided it was time to get a new TV. After all, the old TV was starting to age quite a bit. So I checked out the different sets. At first, the flat screen Zenith Inteq 27...

You can't help but be impressed with the picture of this set. I watch a lot of TV, and it has never been so enjoyable. Everyone who comes over comments on what a great picture it has.

Product Specifications

SONY's 32" FD Trinitron WEGA stereo color TV delivers a clear, high-contrast picture. Flat-screen CRT's demand incredible depth-of-focus. To accomplish this, Sony increased the focal length of the electron gun by 30%. Vertical Slits Stretch without interruption from the top of the screen to the bottom gives brighter, more vivid picture. The FD Trinitron picture tube used a new flat Aperture Grille with higher tension, more slits and closer spacing between the slits (finer pitch) resulting in outstanding image detail and clarity. 3-Line Digital Comb Filter compares consecutive horizontal scanning lines within a video frame and uses digital circuitry to make adjustments providing outstanding picture quality with sharp, crisp edges, while virtually eliminating dot crawl. Auto Channel Programming automatically locks active channels in memory for scan-tuning convenience - also allows for manual Channel Add/Erase. Freeze Memo allows viewer to freeze what's on-screen and view it in the PIP window, while programming continues on the main screen. Ideal for noting website addresses, phone numbers and contact information on-screen. Speed Surf channel selection "Rapid Fire" provides channel change and allows viewer to quickly scroll through channels. Channel Fix automatically sets the TV to a specific channel (i.e. 3) for cable box control, allowing the viewer to control the cable box via the TV remote control. Channel Caption program up to 12 channels with their call letters for on-screen display. XDS (Extended Data Service) receives new information services that some broadcasters are adding to their signals, including time, station call letters, and programming information (where available).
