Summary: Great sound, great picture...sort of...
Review: After my old 27" standard Zenith died after a power surge, I decided to pick up one of these units after hearing great things about it and seeing the quality of the picture in the store.The sound is wonderful, though in the surround sound mode, I do tend to have problems hearing the dialogue over the score. And when I'm watching something from DVD, the picture is absolutely crystal clear. I've never noticed any of the geometry problems noted by some of the other reviewers...in fact, this is the first time we've been able to read the crawls on the bottom of the screen! One minor quibble, and I can't tell whether or not this is a weakness in my SAT-TV receiver or the source channels themselves, rather than the TV. With the new TV, we get an awful lot of "fuzziness" in the dark, solid backgrounds. Shadows look like there are thousands of bugs moving around. I notice that it depends greatly on the channel, but even the premium stations like HBO have this problem. I'm relatively sure this is a source signal problem, but it detracts from the overall experience. The difference with DVD is startling, however...none of those effects show up, unless the video is clearly not digitally remastered.

Summary: Great quality at a reasonable price
Review: Before I made the decision to buy this product, I read a variety of consumer reviews, including Consumer Reports. The reviews gave this product high marks. (Consumer Reports rated this among the top TVs in its category). I was looking for a reliable flat screen TV that would provide excellent picture and sound quality at a reasonable price. With the Sony KV27FS13 I was not disappointed. After getting some help to get it in place (it is heavy), the connections and setup instructions were a breeze. I am very pleased with the variety of connection options. The S-Video input allowed me to connect my satellite receiver. I can't believe the clear, sharp images. What a difference! The reviews I read also said that video component input was the way to go to connect a DVD player. I used this connection to hook up my DVD player. The picture quality is superb! I was surprised at the clarity of the sound too. It is the closest thing to watching movies in a theater that you can experience without actually being in a theater. All in all, I am very pleased with my purchase. I would highly recommend this Sony Wega TV to anyone who is looking for great quality at a reasonable price.

Summary: Hopeless TV...or maybe its just my set
Review: Bought this TV after a great many days of pondering and reviewing various brands and styles. Put my bet on Sony's name and all the good praise given to this model.
Exactly one year after I bought it, the problems started outta nowhere. I switched on the TV one fine morning to find the entire screen having a purple haze and pink diagonal lines. Sent it for repair. Though they repaired it, but I think it lost the sharpness/clarity. THen the next problem started where the TV blacks out every minute or so. Sent it again for repair. They fixed it, but now the purple haze is back again. The TV has been out for about 2 months now and Im living on a loaner. Seriously planning to buy another one. Would never buy a Sony Wega again.

Summary: Well Worth The Investment
Review: For some reason, maybe it's just my house, but the sound doesn't come out any better than any other television. The surround sound is way too harsh, and most of the time you can't hear people talking unless you turn it up really loud to wake up the neighbors. Other than this flaw, the picture quality is awesome! I always wanted a flat screen and my boyfriend got me this one for the Christmas of '00. It's a must have for anybody who needs to be in the front when it comes to technology.

Summary: Excellent flat-screen TV
Review: Having read a number of glowing reviews, I was not disappointed by my new Sony Wega - this TV is awesome. I compared a number of 27" flat screen TVs from Toshiba, Panasonic, Philips, Samsung, & Sony. Of the five, I found the Sony to have the clearest and most vibrant picture. Also, only the Sony and the Samsung have the 16:9 picture modes to display widescreen films with the highest resolution. Digital cable (thru composite video input) looks significantly sharper and more brighter than my old TV and DVDs w/ component video input look stellar. I also have PS2 and games look awesome on the Wega.

Summary: great TV, great features
Review: I bought the KV-27FS17 (it has PIP) for [money] and I love it. Picture and sound is amazing especially with DVD, PSX2 hooked up to it. With the PIP model I can play video games and watch sports at the same time changing the PIP screen around as I please and easily swapping what audio I want to hear. I would fork out extra [money]for PIP. Come sept. I can watch two football games at the same time!! Remote is easy to learn!! A few cons - it weighs 100 pounds! I am 22 and I was able to take it from garage to family room by myself but its bulky and heavy. I guess thats to expect with any large TV. make sure you take a large enough vehicle to pick it up. Also the top surface is not flat. So nothing can be set on top of it. (minor inconvience for most) Thats it with the cons. Multiple inputs, S-Video (highly recommend monster-300 cables to hook PSX2 with! Makes everything even better!!

Summary: Great Picture, Great Price
Review: I bought this TV off Ebay and I'm blown away. You get the great clear crisp Sony picture for a great price. Sometimes Sony TV's can be hit or miss as far as reliability but they got it right on this model. The picture from a DVD player using the component inputs looks incredible.
