SOLID TV
I bought this TV solely for HD gaming for my 360. It is a very solid performer. The colors are vivid and bright. The blacks are the best one can find in an HDTV….It does have some minor faults though… Very mild bowing exists and text gets a little fuzzy on the periphery of the screen.

This TV really shines with HD cut scenes in video games….STUNNING!!!

Awsome affordable high quality HDTV
First of all I want to say that Im a filmmaker and know about TV and film quite a lot so I know what Im talking about. Anyone that knows about TV’s knows that CRT/picture-tube TV’s (the fat ones) will produce superior image quality than any comprable LCD monitor. Just because a TV is thin and flat does not mean that it will produce a better image quality. Thin TV’s are all the rage right now but what trully should matter is the picture quality. My Sony 30″ widescreen HDTV’s image quality is awsome. I’ve had it for about a year now and have been very, very, happy with it. Yes, it is super bulky and heavy but it fits in the corner of my bedroom quite well and its picture tube is super flat. Plus, the design of the TV makes it look a lot thinner than it really is. I’ve had to point out to guests that my TV is not a thin TV. The other cool thing about CRT HDTV monitors are that they cost about 40% less than flat LCD or plasma TV’s. And like I said before, LCD will not give the same picture quality as CRT’s. Plasma TV’s do compare to CRT’s but they cost a lot more and unlike CRT’s you don’t have recharge the chemicals like you do in plasmas after about 3000 hours of viewing time. Plus, I got my TV as a brand new clearance item at Fry’s for $600! Trust me, I did a lot of research and this model had it all. About the only thing I wish it had was a third HDMI input and the capacity to broadcast at 1080p.

tried lcd, tried plasma…sony wega is awesome!!!
ok, as another person stated, i’ve also tried expensive lcd and plasma monitors. same issues…blacks aren’t quite black enough…ghosting on fast moving images. i finally took a friend’s advice and looked at the 30″ wega monitor (didn’t need the 34″). wow, words can’t describe the incredible picture…blows away the best lcd and plasma monitors. the drawback as others have pointed out is the weight…and i’m sure the electrical costs.

i didn’t think to ask a tv repair person for their opinion given today’s disposable-by-design market, but i got the advice another person got…the sony wega hd crt screen is probably THE best high definition monitor on the market. sure, lcd/plasma give you the cool factor, but the bottom line is no lcd/plasma monitor can beat the picture quality or cost of a sony wega hd crt monitor.

buy it…marketing hype aside, thes is the intelligent choice.

Picture Perfect
I must say this Television is exactly what I have been looking for. I bought an LCD Flat panel and was very dissapointed with scenes of blotchy greys, glitchy sports with a foggy image at times? Then took it back on my 7 day return policy. I exchanged it for a Plasma! The Colour was perfect but once again discouraged I took it back. $250.00 plus dollars after 4000-6000 hours for a backlight I dont think so, if you can not afford to fix a tv dont buy the Tv(Student). Might I add I only have digital sattelite Reception. I did some more research On this partcular Item and was very pleased. Eventually most channels will be in widescreen. I’m not going to get all technical just strait too the point.

I Wanted this T.V for SPORTS , VIDEO GAMES , AND DVDS. Dont scrape your pocket for a television that is nearly the same in picture. The only problem is the weight, 150 pounds of back breaking labour compared too a slim lcd/plasma 45 pounds. Do not hesitate on choosing the Television purchase it is well worth the money. Once I get quality component cables or S-Cables Im sure it will highten my experience with the tv. I payed 4.95 on consumerreports.org just too get the plain and honest truth. I read up on all of the pros and cons on numerous Flat screen TV’s Weather Plasma , lcd , or Hi-scan Tube HD TV’s not only on consumerreports but many other websites as well. I think I knew more than the salesman!!!!. I tryed too lay this paragraph flat out on the table and I hope it helps you make a positive decision.

Love Love Love my Sony KV 30
I bought my Sony a couple months ago through a seller on Amazon. I can’t tell you how pleased I am with it. The picture is beautiful, especially with DVDs. We asked a very seasoned television repairman about which TV he would recommend hands down these days. He told us (with no prior knowledge we owned one) that the Sony KV 30 is his best recommendation. It lasts the longest and the picture is beautiful. You will not be disappointed with this buy.
