Pros: Incredible, quality picture and sound. Cons: Be prepared to spend over $500.
The Sony Wega, pronounced “Vey-guh”, caught my eye while I was in my decision making process of my TV buying adventure that took place shortly after the holidays this year.
I was standing in front of a 32” JVC TV and kept looking at a line of...
Pros: Excellent picture, S-video, Component video, Affordable. Cons: Only a 90-day warranty
When my roommate and I parted ways, he took his 20” television with him and left me with an old 13” that I used to use in my teeny dorm room during my freshman year of college. I actually used that thing in my living room for the first five months that...
Pros: The trinitron technology with the flat screen look Cons: expensive
The Sony KV-27FS12 is a 27" television with all the tip top features of the new age: flat screen technology, a three-line comb feature to perfect quality of local and cable channels, and V-Compression to increase density so you can't see the cracks...
Pros: Flatscreen, Component Input, Relatively Good Price Cons: Doesn't Look Quite as Sharp as other Wega Sets
The Sony KV-27FS12 is one of the recently-released FS models from Sony's line of Wega (pronounced Vega) high-end flat-screen televisions. These FS models are less expensive than the older FV series of Wega TV's and the KV-27S12 is the lowest priced Sony...
Pros: Flat screen, 16:9 enhanced function, looks Cons: No buttons on remote for certain functions, may not be reliable
Update
Since the time that I wrote this review, there have been at least a couple of sets introduced by other manufacturers which have most (If not all) of the same features on this set, at a substantially lower price. One of them, I...
Pros: Flat screen, great color & sharpness, anamorphic mode is wonderful for watching movies! Cons: Expensive, heavy, slightly imperfect picture geometry, terrible manual.
I'm a big DVD collector, and it took me a long time to finally decide on which television to purchase. I finally decided on the Sony KV-27FS12 "Wega" (pronounced vay-guh) because it met the three requirements that I had set:
Pros: Excellent picture, awesome sound Cons: Heavy, unlit remote control
After several months of looking for a TV, I found one that has been great. From the first moment I laid eyes on it in the store, I knew this was the TV that I was going to purchase.
Pros: Trinitron tube, excellent color, sharp focus, outstanding geometrics, anamorphic enhancement capable, heavy build quality Cons: Casing color may turn off some, Velocity Modulation Scanning, build quality is heavy
Having used and repaired several makes of television sets, one particular brand always sticks to mind: Sony.
Ever since the Trinitron tube was first introduced, it had marked a true advancement of the television.
Pros: Fantastic clean color Cons: Heavy; poor picture geometry
I had high hopes for this TV, however, every Sony 27" WEGA series I looked at in 3 stores (7 total) had great, colorful pictures but suffered from sub-par picture geometry. I'm a graphic artist by profession and it always drives me crazy to see text...
Pros: Component vid., flat screen, great picture Cons: Quite Heavy, menus aren't the best
Since I was looking for a new TV for my apartment, I was looking for something in the 27" range. I heard that Sony was coming out with a new line of Wega TVs, so I checked them out. I was amazed at the price/features ratio. I had just purchased a...
Pros: Tetris looks great Cons: Deciding which Tetris looks the best on it
I am considered blessed, because I have at my fingertips the greatest discount known to man: I work at Best Buy. Do not be fooled. Despite my employer, I do not know anything about televisions, (or for that matter electronics in general).
Pros: reputation, flat screen picture quality Cons: Non-illuminated remote, only 7 favorite channels retained in memory . PS it is heavy !
This is an update to my original review after using the unit 2 months... see (update)
Sony's reputation for reliability is well earned. I recently replaced my 20" 1986 model (which still works great except for the remote unit in the TV)...
Pros: Great Pic, No Glare, Can't wait to try my Xbox when I get it!!! Cons: I was too tired to work on my Bowflex after bringing this TV home.
I've been looking for a TV for the past year to replace my 18" RCA TV that kept loosing its picture every time the ending credits to a movie played. I was interested at the 32" TV but decided that 5" really don't make that much of a difference. The...
Pros: DVD enhanced mode, flat screen, picture quality, variety of inputs Cons: weight, slight convergence, analog cable
The quality of the picture displayed on a television screen is primarily a function of the picture’s source. High quality sources such as a DVD player or satellite will deliver a high quality picture. Older technologies such as analog cable or VCR will...
