Summary: a superb tv set
Review: sony's tv has the best quality: the picture, color, and sound is just superb. ...the image and color on sony are clear and vivid. granted sony's product is on the expensive end, but given it makes excellent and long lasting products, it is worth every penny.a little tip for a good picture: turn off the VM setting, unless you are watching sports from afar, the bright edge is kind of annoying. turn down the picture (contrast), up the brightness, up the color. the sound is very clear either lound or low. BUT there is not adjust for treble and bass. you can only select stereo or mono/sap mode. nice features: sleep timer, 3 a/v (1 front, 2 back). Notice, it doesn't have a S-video, but it comes with component video plugs for DVD players (3 seperate color). The image does look much better with it. the slive case is very sleek and nice looking. fits nicely anywhere. the remote is small, but so is the buttons, it is sometime confusing which one you just pushed. ratings: picture quality/clarity: 5+
picture color: 5+
sound: 4.5
features: 4.5
remote: 4

Summary: Not good for watching DVDs
Review: The picture is not bright enough to bring out details in a dark background. Especially when you watch a night scence in a DVD movie, you cannot clearly see the actors' faces. I would recommend your buying a JVC or Panasonic if you want to enjoy movies.

Summary: Awesome, but...
Review: The picture quality on this 20" TV is awesome, but it really needs a tone control. The sound isn't too bad, but it would be nice to be able to tweak it. This model does *not* have an S-Video input, as another reviewer stated, but it does have three aux video inputs -- one on the front for games and cameras -- and includes stereo audio outputs and a headphone jack. So, if you're looking for a TV for a bedroom or another small room, the picture on this flat-screen Sony won't disappoint you. If your TV has to have great sound, or S-Video, step up to the FV series. By the way, like all the other Sony flat-screens this set is fairly heavy, weighing in at 54 lbs.

Summary: Best small screen TV!
Review: The Sony 20" FD Trinitron WEGA TV offers excellent picture quality thanks to its flat screen Trinitron tube. When I looked at this TV next to a conventional TV there was no comparison. The Trinitron screen creates an image that is so clear it looks almost real. Great for small rooms where you are relatively close to the TV screen. The flat screen makes the picture easier to see from an angle.
The stereo speakers placed on either side of the screen offer crystal clear sound. I originally purchased a Toshiba 20" flat screen, but returned it after I found the tube emitted an annoying hum. The Sony is very quiet when volume is low.
There are plenty of inputs in the back to hook up VCRs, DVDs and what have you. The from panel has a couple of inputs to make hooking up your camcorder easy.
The control menus are very easy to use and I was able to program all the stations in about a minute. One limitation is that there is limited memory for labels for each channel (ABC, CBS, etc.).
Two separate timers allow you to set times when the TV should be off. Handy if you have a habit of dozing off in front of the TV.
The remote is unusual in shape, like a cone or wedge that ends in a point at the front. After using it I find it very comfortable to use. All the buttons are easy to reach, and it stands up on its end, making it easy to grab.

Summary: Best 20" Flat-Screen TV out there
Review: This Sony 20" TV is definitely a cut above the rest. It costs a few bucks more, but is worth every cent. We needed a small TV to replace our existing one in the bedroom. After checking out the features, price, reviews, and side by side comparisons at the store, we bought the Toshiba 20" flat screen (20AF42). It emitted a very noticeable and annoying buzz, so it went back for the Sony. Problem solved. This gave us a chance to compare the two sets at home. The Sony's sound is clearer, expecially at the low end. The picture quality of the Sony is warmer and more realistic, like the flesh tones and separation of colors. This is really noticed when changing channels. Two great features the Sony has are: Color Temp. and VM (sharpens picture definition). These features give quick results to individual tastes without the hassle of changing picture controls. For the extra money, this TV is one of the best investments we made.
