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:
Way too heavy but it's got a picture to die for. Fullscreen DVD's look as nice as looking out of my apartment window.

Summary:
This TV rocks..it's a redefinition of watching television...normal tv's look lame when comparing to this tv. Sound is awesome...Flat screen is too good...to narrate.GO AND BUY ONE !!! Sony rocks!!

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

Sony KV32XBR100

Summary:
Brilliant picture! "Normal" TV now look severly dated as I am used to my flat screen WEGA. Sound is surprisingly full (for a Sony TV).

Strengths:
picture, picture, picture

Weaknesses:
expensive, heavy
