Pros: Great bargain, good quality picture, excellent pixel disparities
Cons: Red line when connecting to DVD, some patchiness and outbound static
The Bottom Line: I would NOT recommend this product to any serious television enthusiast who is concerned with TV picture and sound quality who likes the occasional DVD perk.

| maddieslyo's Full Review: Sony KV-32FS13 32 inch TV |
The controls are great, even with the joystick, which makes for a very enjoyable TV watching experience!
My main complaint with this product is that when I connected my DVD player up through the component inputs I kept seeing red "color banding" lines. However, upon further examination, I determined that the S-Video and Composite video worked fine. I was quite frustrated, so decided to contact Sony and after being on hold for a while they said it was my DVD player that was indeed the problem. At this point, I contacted Panasonic, because I have a Panasonic DVD RV-30 for my DVD player and they said that there must have been something incorrect with my TV because if S-video is working component video should work or be completely blank. My conclusion is that neither one of the companies knew what they were in fact talking about!!!
In addition, when watching DVDs the picture seems to fade in and out of contrast, which could be because of the Monster cable hookup in the back of the LCD, however I tend to think otherwise because of the cable configuration suggested by the manufacturer which complies with all the regulations and yet delivers a substandard output as compared to equivalent variations of the product in this susspecialty market. As such, it is not of the optimal quality nor is it in the optimal pricing range!
In addition, you can set it up so that when you change the channel, the station and current tv show can be listed on the screen. To my disappointment, this info stays on the screen. I wish it would disappear after a few seconds, however, given the nature of the product it is entirely consistent that it doesn't.
