Sony's new TV isn't all it's cracked up to be:

by klaxonman , Jan 21 '00
Pros: picture quality on digital sources
Cons: sensitivity to magnetic fields; scan lines; uneven brightness; price; sony customer service
I will start off with the description of flaws and annoyances most WEGA sets seems to share. The sensitivity of this tv to magnetic fields is beyond belief. When my set suddenly developed extensive color bleeding, I could've never guessed that it was...

The XBR experience. Sony heavyweight has all the features!

by Wisky Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jul 17 '00
Pros: Picture Quality, Sony, HDTV Ready, S video, Video 1, 2, 3, 4, great speakers.
Cons: expensive, heavy
This is probably the best you can get without spending another two thousand dollars. Sony never does anything below top quality, and this TV is a great example of that. It's flat tube makes it crystal clear, with minimal annoying glare, yet makes it...

I no longer go to theaters

by benha , Oct 15 '99
Pros: Crisp image, great colors
Cons: Quality control is somewhat lacking
Like the title says, I no longer go to movie theaters. I'd rather wait for the movie to come out on DVD as the image on my Wega XBR is generally superior to the image I get on the screen in the theater.

The flat glass display is phenominal....

Who needs HDTV?

by Shoeb , Oct 08 '99
Pros: BEST audio/video content, flat screen, aesthetics
Cons: Pricey, weighs like a sumo wrestler
For those of you television junkies who are drooling for the best in picture, sound, and overall aesthetic appeal, look no further than the Sony WEGA. For years the SONY brand has stood for peak performance in electronics, whether it be it video or...

***BEWARE*****
Updated review on March 21, 2001.
I wrote this review several months ago. Since then a ground wire in my set broke off (Sony is calling it a fluke) and send sparks flying inside my set. The short story is that I need to spend...

Big, Flat and Happy

by rickcomerford , Nov 19 '00
Pros: Flat Tube, Triple Comb Filter, Two Tuners
Cons: Weighs over 200 lbs.
Nearly a year ago I bought my 36” Sony WEGA Trinitron XBR. Yes, it cost more than most 36” tube televisions, and no, it’s not HD, but it is flat, bright sharp and colorful. Since the day I bought the television, I have kept my eye on everything else in...

Giving up on the 36" XBR after 3 exchanges

by normanchou , Mar 21 '00
Pros: Flat Screen
Cons: Bad display quality
I love televisions and cool new technologies. The 36" XBR flat screen priced now at $1999.99 (in most places) and weighting in at 250 lbs seemed like it is the biggest and the best tub TV, so I thought. After I got the television home after two...

Sony 36" Wega XBR

by bamtino24 , Mar 21 '00
Pros: After calibration, a stunning picture
Cons: WAY too heavy. It's still interlaced.
This TV has 4 picture modes to select from, and you need them all. You need to adjust just about everything you can adjust for EACH different video source. The picture modes allow you to save all the different set ups. For example, once I had a mode set...

Sony KV 36XBR250

by 3dperceptions , Oct 01 '99
Pros: Excellent Picture, Nice sound, Wireless Headphones, Good depth perception
Cons: Heavy as hell, be careful if you have children, banding while using component video Sony is looking into it.
The 250's are out and they have a few extra features. Like a cordless headphone(transmitter built in to the front of the TV). 3d Comp Filter give excellent contrast between the forground subject and the background.

Very nice TV. I chose it...
