Amazon.com Product Description
It may be smaller than your average home-theater display, but Sony's KV-24FS120 24-inch WEGA TV is no pushover. Its FD Trinitron tube delivers strong image accuracy, wide viewing angles, outstanding contrast, and impressive corner-to-corner detail. The visually flat FD Trinitron tube minimizes annoying glare from light sources, which enhances contrast. Corner-to-corner details are rendered more accurately because images aren't distorted by a curved screen. Squares look square, straight lines appear straight, and circles are circular.

Velocity modulation (selectable: off, high, low) improves the definition at picture edges, creating sharper images by slowing the CRT (cathode-ray tube) beam's horizontal scanning during demanding work--say, when rendering transitions from light to dark parts of an image--and speeding it up when scanning easily rendered sections, like broad dark areas. The set's digital comb filter further enhances resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped T-shirt).

Top-of-the-line component-video inputs minimize digital and line-scan artifacts from compatible video sources, while standard composite- and S-video inputs accommodate all DVD players. You can choose between a set of rear AV inputs and a set of front AV inputs for extra convenience when hooking up a camcorder or gaming console. You may also label the set's video inputs and channels for easy selection.

The set produces stereo audio with 10 watts per channel. Its Dynamic Picture Processor circuitry maintains image detail in the very bright and dark areas of each scene, while vertical aperture compensation sharpens picture definition and edge detail on the vertical plane). Other features include tilt correction and Trinitone color temperature control.

Using Sony's channel-fix feature, you can select a specific TV channel (3, for example) for cable box reception, then subsequently control a compatible cable box via the TV's remote without inadvertently changing the TV from your designated input channel. Favorite channel offers one-button access to the last 8 channels you've tuned (auto) or the last 8 favorites that you've preset (manual).

Customer Reviews

If you can't afford HDTV, check this out
If you can't afford HDTV but want the highest quality possible from conventional analog television, take a look at this Sony. The picture quality is superb, with clean, lifelife colors that aren't overblown or oversaturated like so many other TVs. I haven't experienced any geometry problems with my unit. The audio quality isn't amazing, but is above average. The remote control is easy to use, and the menus are simple and intuitive. I really like the size of this TV -- the cabinet isn't a whole lot deeper than my previous 19" TV, and the screen isn't so big that it looks ridiculous in my small apartment. I'm very glad I paid a little more money for a TV that offers a lot more in terms of quality.

Best 24" Flat Screen for the Money
Using the DVD component inputs and good audio interconnects the picture and sound is superb. The television for it's size is the best deal for the money and works great in a bedroom. If you need a set of the bedroom you can't go wrong purchasing is model from Sony.

Excellent TV, superb value
I use this TV in my bedroom and I must admit, it's better than the 27" in my living room (a 2000 model Sony). Component video is a plus, as the DVD quality is excellent. Even the VCR looks good. This model has S-Video unlike its 20" counterpart. Many people on Circuit City's site complained of a geometry problem. I do not have that problem but it can be fixed easily if ones set does have it. It's deeper and wider than most 24" sets and forced me to modify my TV stand, but it's worth it.
