Pros: Flat screen, enhanced 16:9 mode.

HDTV or not HDTV? That is the question. Whether ‘tis nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous reception, or to stop struggling with the tin foil and rabbit ears and just pay for cable. For in this time of rapid...

Pros: Flat screen, great sound, well configured remote
Cons: none

We decided it was time to fit up the empty livingroom and set it up for the kids. Put a PC in there, a TV, DVD and VCR so they could watch what they want, and not disturb the grownups with their programs.

We already had a WEGA set in our...

Pros: Excellent Picture, Good Sound, Sony Reputation, Priced Right
Cons: Horrible Geometry Settings from the Factory, Weighs 100lbs. (a real back breaker)

Well I finally made the plunge and bought a new Sony Flat Screen KV-27FS17. I have read many reviews of this TV at different web sites on the net. Many reviewers have complained about poor picture geometry with their particular set. This includes...

Pros: Great picture quality,PIP is a plus, Sound is better than average
Cons: It is heavy (100 pounds) design makes it hard to move around

Let me start off by saying that paying an extra $50 for the PIP is well worth it! Now, to rate the features.

Picture Quality!!
I think it is excellent. You can notice this the most with Digital Cable or while viewing a DVD or video game...

Pros: Really Cool
Cons: None!

Just installed my 27" Wega, and it's awesome. I had a 35" Sony Trinitron, but it was way to big for my living room, so I decided to opt for quality over quantity.

This TV is high-end and affordable. Trust me, unless you have a big room to put...

Pros: Clear picture you can see from everywhere
Cons: Color distortion, LOUD degausse cycle

I bought the sister to this TV (KV27FS13) and from the first day noticed something funky about the color. It was like a pink smudge down each side. Especially noticeable on light or non-busy scenes, or black and white movies. I called Sony service and...

Pros: Flat screen, great sound & picture.
Cons: Heavy & expensive.

I bought my TV over a year ago, used on Ebay. I did a lot of investigating before I made my decision on what kind of TV I wanted, because I don't watch much television, but I do enjoy a lot of movies. So I wanted to make sure that whatever TV I decided...

Pros: Beautiful picture! SDTV compatible? Colour is great. Super crisp. Nice looking set.
Cons: Weird colouring in the corner sometimes (when vcr running). Expensive.

This tv has amazing picture quality. It's super sharp and the colour is crisp and bright. I have it hooked up to digital satelite so I get really good quality picture and sound. If your on cable don't bother with this set as it probably won't look as...

Pros: Excellect Picture,Sound Quality, lots of extras, lots of inputs!
Cons: Heavy (100 pounds), cant set anything on top of it

I bought KV-27FS17 because it came with PIP (instead of KV-27FS13) Well worth the extra $50 for the PIP cababilities that the KV27FS17 has. I can play video games and watch sports at the same time!!! or watch sports and sports at the same time. Come Sept...

Pros: vivid picture and sound quality
Cons: expensive

THE SONY KV27FS17 WEGA IS A PHENOMENA.THE PICTURE QUALITY OF ITS TRINITRON 27 INCH SCREEN IS BREATH TAKING.THE COLORS ARE VIVID AND SENSATIONAL.THE PICTURE CLARITY IS AWESOME.THE STEREO SOUND QUALITY IS ALMOST LIKE BEING IN A MOVIE..I LIKE THE PICTURE IN...

Outstanding picture deatail and clarity. Could not ask for more in color reproduction. Particularly like the various color modes that allow you to change between standard, vivid, movie and sports. Have not experienced any of the annoying problems encountered with the previous manufactured versions of this model. No pink lines on the sides or geometry issues. Down side is the weight. Thing weighs more then a Buick and the sound quality is marginal at best but if your hooked up to surround system anyway it doesn't really matter. All in all I would highly recommended this set to anyone looking for outstanding picture clarity.
