Summary:
I am reluctantly parting with this set after a decade of exceptional and reliable performance but the time has finally come to move to a large plasma. (See http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/ele/1477822562.html)

Unless viewed side-by-side against a modern HDTV, one might think it HD. The picture is sharp and bright with excellent contrast; the colors are vivid and balanced; and the audio is very good (though I use a home theater sound system now). I used to really enjoy the high-end PIP features (before moving to a cable box). I still use the flexible PIP occasionally to view two different sources.

Contrary to some reports, this set has never given me a lick of trouble nor have I ever been disappointed in its picture or audio performance. It's only real downside has been its weight (175 lbs.).

Price Paid:  $1200.00 from sony store

Summary:
first generation flat screen crt tv performs well. Problem is, just died on me after just 7 yrs of average service. I expected a longer life term than this for the price I paid. Overall, the picture quality was ahead of its time when it came out but has been surpassed by $600 tv's within the last 3yrs. Heavy and bulky. I tried to get an estimate to fix it and minimum cost would be around $200 plus depending on what and how it was found. Not worth the cost to repair.

Strengths:
Picure quality/flat screen(now obsolete), ok sounding speakers, picture effects(sports,movies,etc), number of component hookups

Weaknesses:
High cost, no resale value, obsolete picture quality, heavy(175lbs), bulky, died after 7yrs of ave. service, reliability

Summary:
I bought this TV and brought it home on a Friday. I tried it out with DVD first and the picture looked pretty good. But when I hooked it up to cable, the picture was bad. It was very grainy and occasionally the picture would move around. I took it back and got the discontinued KV32XBR100.

Strengths:
Features, picture with DVD

Weaknesses:
Picture with cable feed
