You don't have to take out a second mortgage to enjoy crisply colorful, high definition-quality video and audio with the 27-inch Sony Trinitron KD27FS170 flat CRT television. The visually flat FD Trintron tube minimizes annoying glare from light sources, enhancing contrast, and corner-to-corner detail is rendered more accurately because images aren't distorted by a curved screen. It features both built-in analog and digital tuners, which enables you to receive digital ATSC programming via terrestrial signals (over-the-air) for watching highly detailed HD broadcasts.

Excellent and highly recommended
After my disastrous experience with the Toshiba 27df46 (see my review of that product), I purchased this set.
Great TV - HORRIBLE LOUD SOUND - VERY Complicated
VERY POOR DESIGN - GREAT PICTURE - VERY POOR VIEWER INTERFACE - I bought one yesterday from Best Buy to replace my Philips 27PS60 / Mitsubishi SR-HD5 OTA Digital Receiver.The combination was working perfectly, but I wanted more convenience for my wife, which I thought I would get in on box from Sony.WRONG!Lots of problems:
Great TV
i replaced my philips 32" with this sony wega and am loving it. the picture quality superb so is the sound quality. the only negative thing in this tv is no audio/video out jack. but thats nothing major issue. overall i am very happy with my selection. ... Read more

I'd put a set in every room of my house!
This model exceeded my expectations. My Sony of almost 20 years developed wavy lines on the screen and i figured after 4 moves, it was telling me that i'd be viewing the World Cup on someone else.

SMALL COLOR TV
Excellent for kitchen or guest room, good quality picture with remote control.

Being nitpicky... my apologies
This is a great all around small tv for the price. My only complaint will not matter to most people, it is a cheap, small tv after all.
Basic acceptable TV, but in my opinion, a possibly dangerous omission.
In my opinion:Well, I have no quarrel with the looks and operation of a 13" TV that costs about $75. It performs all the basics, and the sound and picture quality are adequate for a child's room, playroom, or workshop (where I use it).

Value for money.
I bought this TV as a second TV for our house.First we had to use an aerial for a while because there was a delay on the cable and I have to say that I was impressed with the picture the TV gave and the sound quality.Since the cable was installed I would say that things have only improved.Having to plug your DVD player etc from the front is annoying which is why I took a star away.But I would say this is a great TV for the money with a good picture and sound.As they always say you get what you pay for and this is worth every cent.

Gets the Job Done
Honestly....HONESTLY, it isn't the greatest.When playing video games, graphics are slightly blurry and it's hard to adjust color/contrast/etc. to look nice.But, it gets the job done.Got it for my younger siblings and they don't even care about the graphics as long as they can play the game on a screen bigger than 13".I would recommend if you're on a really tight budget and just want a tv to watch, regardless of quality of screen.But if you're picky...forget this one.
Decent TV
After 13+ years with my old RCA Television, I decided to pick up this television, since it was at a great price I couldn't pass up.

Poor Quality
This is the 3rd TV of this model I've had. I have returned the previous 2 to the point of purchase for an exchange due to what seems to be an all too common right speaker malfunction. It also randomly shuts off. The first was dead right out of the box, the second speaker died less than 30 days after purchase, this third one lasted 10 months. Samsung has refused to repair this tv. There are 2 months of warranty left BUT labor is not covered except for the first 3 months. This is the final straw for me. I will never even consider a product made by Samsung. I will also check other brands to make sure they are not re-branded Sansung units. I would encourage others to be wary of the shabby workmanship and customer service that this company offers. This is completely unacceptable in this day in age. I wish there was something lower than 1 star because the product is not even worth this 1 star rating.

No good for tennis viewing!
After just over a year, my fabulous Panasonic 20-inch TV started having problems. I've been confined to my home for 3 years and can't be without a TV so I purchased this one (Samsung TXR2035) because it seemed to most fit my requirements for physical size, cost, etc., and had to purchase/set it up before the Panasonic completely died. I bought it around mid-February and within 2 days I was spastic, wondering what in the hell I'd purchased. I tried to watch the French Open (played on red clay) and could never find a setting that worked so I could clearly see the ball in the far court. It was maddening as hell. After hours on the phone with Samsung, and anyone else I thought could help me, I went down the path of trying to return it. Of course, I couldn't return it because it wasn't
Problem with Picture
I had serious problems with the picture quality. I bought it at best buy and ended up returning it after customer service couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. other reviews say there is an audio problem too. I personally didn't have trouble with that, but be aware that there are problems with this TV. ... Read more

TOSHIBA 27A45 HAS MANUFACTURING DEFECT
GREAT PICTURE UNTIL about 40 days of using this TV it went completely DEAD. No power - nothing. Warranty was 30 days so I am in negotiation with seller. Looks like I'm screwed.
took it back
Got it home and it had poor focus. The center was ok but the sides were definitely out of focus. the next morning the focus problem was gone. Go figure. The big problem for me was the time it took tochange channels. A full 3 seconds. Went back to the store and found this is a common problem with tube tvs. Well I took it back and went to Walmart and got a Sanyo HT27546 for $270. Good set with quick channel change. It also has an optical digital outputwhich the Toshiba did not. The Sanyo also has a full one year warrenty. Sound on both TVs is fine. A small point. The Toshiba can not be set up to go to closed caption when you hit Mute.

Ideal for small spaces

Spectacular Value
I purchased this television at a bricks-and-mortar store, on sale, for less money than the 32" LCD screen that I was considering. I was planning to place the TV on a stand, not the wall, and I do not need the incredible viewing angle of plasma, so there was no reason to spend the extra money for the truly-flat TV.
Very happy football fan !!!
My new TV finally arrived and I am very pleased with it.I picked this one based primarily on all of the reviews I could find online, the vast majority of which were very positive (cNet has lots of reviews as well).Also, I have two friends who are cable guys and they see all kinds of TVs, all day every day, and both of them bought this exact set for themselves.
Beautiful Product
I got mine locally for $1100 dollars.The going rate was 1399-1599.I saw it at a competitor for $1198.So I went to another competitor and they gave it to me for the same price and took another $100 off the price for HDTV installation.What a picture.I started to get turned off by sony because I had 2 32 inch CRT's with tilted yoke making widescreen movies bend at the corners.But I remained loyal and I'm glad I did.I was iniitally wanting a DLP by Samsung but thise one next to in the store blew it away.I didn't go for the $500 dollar service contract because that's half of the price of the television.I'll take my chances on this one.Hopefully bulbs will come down too.You'll love the picture with or without HDTV.I love all the features and they're pretty intuitive.There probably won't be too many left.I think they're phasing the model out.Not sure about amazon but the sony purchase is worth it.Sorry about the other bad reviews here. ...

Great little television
This tiny television works well, has amazingly clear picture, good sound, and picks up local stations better than my big TV.It does rip through batteries, so you'll wantto get two sets of rechargeable batteries and keep rotating them.My set has one pixel that is frequently white (when it should be in color), so I cannot give it give stars, but I would give it 4.5, if I could.

Headache inducer!
This works just fine but the picture is so small that it gave me a headache after 45 minutes of viewing. Not for those susceptible to migraines. Also, it goes through batteries like a rabid raccoon goes through a dumpster. Mine lasted 2 hours. This may only be good for kids or sports nuts who can't be away from their tvs.

Excellent little tv
I have owned and used the Casio SY30 for a few months now and have had no problems with reception, sound quality or picture quality. I think it's a great little television for the money. The only thing I would like to see changed is the tuner. It scans for best channels every time you turn it on, but that's not a major problem. I've seen some negative reviews and I wanted to add my positive opinion and experience with this excellent little tv.

Daewoo 14" flat screen TV
TV arrived in manufacturers packaging.Set up was uneventful.Set memorized cable channels with only two button clicks.Picture is fine and without glare (naturally).Audio is OK, but limited by single small speaker.The TV is used in a small room so lots of gain not required.
Nice little TV
I was skeptical about buying a brand I was not familiar with. I wanted a flat screen as I feel the picture is nicer. I also wanted to spend around 100 as I had a gift certificate to use. I went with this based on other reviews and price. i was not disappointed. It is a nice picture with good colors.

Great TV, expecially for the price
This TV is the successor to the 26HF84 and the most obvious change is the black bezel. I'm still waiting for a remote that works with my Comcast HD tuner. Without this I ended up juggling remotes: one for changing channels and another for changing video inputs between TV, DVD, and video camera.In the end I got a Kameleon universal remote which simplified things.
Real Quality Can Come Cheap!
I purchased this HDTV after 6 months of debating on which one I should get and I'm extremely pleased thus far.The Toshiba is very attractive, the controls are simple, and the speakers are very good...they provide crisp clean treble & bass.My Xbox 360 never looked so good!I was considering Samsung's TXR3079WH/TXS3082WH because I loved the SlimFit design, but when I saw them on display they both had this purple hue in each of its four corners that fades in and out...IT'S EXTREMELY ANNOYING!I thought that with the newer model TXS3082WH Samsung might have fixed that issue, but they didn't. That really scared me off and I chose Toshiba...HANDS DOWN.I asked the salesman why the Samsung TV's had this problem and he told me that it was something magnetized caused by the trains running underground.I then asked him why it wasn't affecting the Toshiba's?When I saw he didn't have a straight answer...I knew the Toshiba was for me.The picture quality and sharpness is better than the Samsung's too. Take heed to my warnings of the Sammy's or you will be crying later. ... Read more

Do they still make these?
I purchased this TV as a replacement for a RCA 24" TV.The price was right and I have purchased Sylvania TVs in the past.What I did not realize was that this TV should be outdated.First I noticed that the TV is mono sound.It is not stereo sound.Do they even make TVs without stereo sound anymore?Apparently they do.But it got worse.This model only has RCA plugs in the front.It has none in the back.The only plug in the back is the basic cable plug.I guess this is what I get for making assumptions.If you are looking for a television with absolutely no thrills, buy this one.Otherwise, spend an extra $30 to get stereo and plugs in the back.

The 32-inch Toshiba 32DF46 flat-screen CRT television features a standard 4:3 aspect ratio screen and 480i (interlaced) display resolution, which isn't compatible with the pristine imagery of true high-def resolution broadcasts.

Exceptional Sony 36 inch Stereo Color TV
Have you been shopping lately? Standard 4:3 screen aspect ratio CRT Television sets are becoming a thing of the past.One major audio/video retailer in my area no longer carries standard CRT TV sets. In other words they carry no tube TV sets, just flat screen sets. They only carry 16:9 (screen aspect ratio) LCD and Plasma sets! I find this sudden transition incredible, unbelievable and very naive. I prefer a large 4:3 CRT screen. For me they are much brighter and more vivid. The Sony KD36FS170 36" FD Trinitron WEGA Hi-Scan Digital Television is an excellent 4:3 set. It has a Digital 3-line comb filter that increases picture resolution and reduces noticeable dot-crawl, which is visible on less expensive 36-inch brands. It has Rear audio and composite video inputs as well as an S-video input for DVD, Laser Disc players and Super-VHS recorders for higher picture resolution. The picture on this TV set is excellent

Liked my 13 inch Sony I purchased the 36 inch
Didn't want to cough up twice the price for pasma or LCD and really didn't have the 700$ difference for HD.Have no regrets about getting the KD-36FS170.Fits the bill perfectly!DVD,Digital Cable and even greater with the Dish this is last of the CRT's.Sitting away 12 feet the picture quality is short of stunning.Sound is OK,and you will never move this baby by yourself. ...

The best in its class
Like "J.C." said in his review, I did extensive research before buying this television.I was disenchanted by some of the more budget-minded flat screen TVs (I bought an RCA that died after a week) and I was not yet ready to commit to an HDTV.This television proved the perfect solution.It presents a clear, clean picture (although the default settings are a bit on the dark side) and surprisingly-good sound from the speakers.The back of the TV features RCA, coaxial, S-video, and component connections, and while it is a bigger set (as direct-view flats are), it fit easily on the smaller stand I had for my previous television.The TV has quality parts and is comparable to the Sony WEGA, but at a lower cost.
Excellent Television
I did extensive research before buying this television, and I attribute its overall higher quality to the following features which its competitors don't employ: Black-Level Expansion (creates true blacks), Invar Shadow Mask (elminates geometry distortions, such as the expanding outward of the tube on old TVs and color bleeding), and color-enhancing technology (True Color I believe, which enhances color vibrancy).

This TV has a incredible picture, my only complaint is that the sound is not that loud. I put it in my bedroom and while the AC is running it is very hard to hear, and the AC isn't real loud, it's brand new. I got around this problem as I have Satellite TV and I just ran the sound from the box to my stereo, the only fall back to this solution is that you have to keep swithching the connections between the Satellite box, the VCR and the DVD, depending which one is being watched at the time. So if you are planning to put this anywhere there may be additional noise I wouldn't recommend it unless you have another source to boost the sound.
