  • A well-rounded HDTV with excellent picture quality (with a little tweaking)

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 28, 2003
    Pros: excellent image quality when properly adjusted; plenty of inputs; good feature set
    Cons: mediocre out-of-box picture; no VGA/IEEE1394 input; no settings memories for each input; heavy

    Summary: Note: this model has been recently discontinued, and is replaced by two models: KV-34HS510 ( ... read more

  • Best TV Ever Owned

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 2, 2003
    Pros: What a TV! We were looking for a new replacement and this is it.
    Cons: Heavy. Requires more than one to lift.

    Summary: We have been left in the dust technology wise in recent years. I like to wait until a technology is well developed and proven before jumping in (I never owned 8-track, only cassettes, and went VHS over Beta). We wanted to replace our family TV with a ... read more

  • This TV is awesome!

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 27, 2003
    Pros: Gorgeous picture, great on all inputs, 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i
    Cons: Extremely heavy, slightly complicated to set up, still not that much HDTV content

    Summary: I couldn't be more pleased with this TV. The picture looks great in all video input modes, but suprise, suprise, looks best in 1080i/720p. The disadvantages are small compared to the overall picture. I highly recommend. 16:9 aspect ratio is awesome, just ... read more

  • What a magnificent TV

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 22, 2003
    Pros: Magnificent Picture Quality. What a beautiful sight from DVD. Sound is great.
    Cons: Steady sound feature could be improved.

    Summary: I've had my 34XBR for about a month now. It truly surpasses any expectations I had. This machine brings a new meaning to the word Home Theatre. I have digital cable and the performance is truly spectacular. And thats right out of the box. I ... read more

  • SONY WEGA Triniton TV

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 23, 2003
    Pros: Picture in Picture, wireless headphones, nice picture
    Cons: Expensive

    Summary: I bought this TV because it looked cool and it was SONY. The gray, or silver, color makes it look very modern. The picture in picture feature is great, especially for me because I can play video games on one screen and watch sports on the other. The ... read more

  • HDTV and Time Warner Bad Combination

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 8, 2002
    Pros: Style is attractive
    Cons: Very poor customer service. DVD's in 16:9 have a 1" border at top and bottom

    Summary: I returned this TV to Circuit City. Although the style is attractive and picture acceptable I wonder why anyone would spend lots of money just to watch the few shows on HDTV that are available in Time Warner market. The most negative thing ... read more

  • One of the Best Tube TVs Ever

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 7, 2002
    Pros: Amazing image, great remote, solid design in every way
    Cons: Weight

    Summary: For my money, a direct view, tube TV is far superior to projection or even plasma (though they are getting better). And the Sony KV-34XBR800 Wega may be one of the best tube TVs ever. I spent about a year looking for a TV for my home theater, ... read more

  • Too pricey for the quality

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 19, 2002
    Pros: I like the wide screen 16:9 format. Plenty of inputs.
    Cons: The setup menus are clumsy and not helpful. DEfinetly not for beginners

    Summary: Well, I finally decided to get a sony tv. The picture in HD is excellent, but in regular cable it blows, no better, honestly than my 32" Phillips. So all this crap that sony spew about digital comb filter and DRC and blah, blah blah, is all crap. Its ... read more

  • The best 34" wide tube available

    Rated Show by the Epinions community
    Nov 29, 2003
    Pros: Image quality, sound quality, remote
    Cons: Weight, large cabinet, price

    Summary: Overall excellent, well worth the extra money compared to other 34" wide screen tubes. The interface and remote are both outstanding. One downside is the inability to use the internal speakers in addition to an external sound
