Amazon.com Product Description
Sony's high-value KV-32FS120 32-inch WEGA television packs a wealth of video technologies that guarantee sharp, vivid pictures from a range of sources. The set's FD (flat display) Trinitron WEGA flat-screen technology delivers high image accuracy, wide viewing angles, and corner-to-corner detail with no geometric image distortion. The visually flat FD Trinitron tube minimizes annoying glare from light sources, enhancing contrast. Squares are square, straight lines appear straight, and circles are truly circular.

One of the KV-32FS120's coolest features is its 16:9 enhanced mode, which delivers maximum picture quality by concentrating all viewable scan lines within a letterboxed image--wasting none of its horizontal resolution on rendering the black bars that border a widescreen image.

Clear Edge VM wideband velocity modulation improves definition at picture edges, creating sharper images by slowing the CRT (cathode-ray tube) beam's horizontal scanning during demanding work--say, when rendering transitions from light to dark parts of an image--and speeding it up when scanning easily rendered sections, like broad dark areas.

The set's digital comb filter removes blurred edges between colors and reduces dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped T-shirt), while magnetic quadra-pole technology reduces "beam spot" distortion and improves corner-to-corner focus and picture sharpness.

Program Palette presets offer combinations of picture settings engineered to make the most of specific entertainment types. Settings include vivid, standard, movie, and sports. Channel fix lets you select a specific TV channel (3, for example) for cable box reception. Then you can control a compatible cable box via the TV remote without inadvertently changing the TV from Channel 3.

Top-of-the-line component-video inputs (Y/PB/PR) minimize digital and line-scan artifacts from compatible video sources, while standard composite- and S-video inputs accommodate all DVD players. A coaxial RF input accepts a feed from an antenna or an older VCR or cable box. Choose from 2 sets of rear AV inputs and a set of front AV inputs for extra convenience when hooking up a camcorder or gaming console. A rear AV output offers fixed-/variable-level analog audio outputs for hookup with a surround receiver.

The set produces stereo audio and BBE sound enhancement with 10 watts per channel through built-in speakers.

Other video technologies include auto white balance (which establishes the picture's tint, or hue, by adjusting sensitivity to red, green, and blue light, resulting in truer whites), Dynamic Picture Processor circuitry, tilt correction, Trinitone color temperature control, and vertical aperture compensation (which sharpens picture definition and edge detail on the vertical plane). You can label the set's video inputs and channels for easy selection.

5 out of 5 stars Great value, picture.   September 24, 2004
R. Pandolfo (Lehigh Valley, PA.)
37 out of 39 found this review helpful

I have a Sony 51 inch high-definition tv also, but a couple of years ago I saw this tv at a friends house, hooked up to cable. The picture was amazing. Yesterday we bought one for our den and hooked up to DISH network (satelite) the picture is also the best I've ever seen for a tube tv. Plus it's easy to use and set up and has a feature called CLEAR EDGE that makes the picture even sharper. The only knock is the weight, about 180 pounds. You need two people to move this tv, it is heavy. But heavy usually means quality and this tv is the best on the market in this price range.


5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT PICTURE WHEN ADJUSTED CORRECTLY   October 5, 2004
J. Travis (Chicago, IL United States)
32 out of 34 found this review helpful

Just bought this set and have to say it's excellent quality- when set up correctly. Have your color temperature on Warm, have the Clear Edge mode on High, and have Simulated and Steady Sound ON. Also, I found the colors to come out best when the picture mode is on Vivid, and not Movie. Movie mode is too dark and although it has a smooth feel to it, the colors don't jump out at you as well as Vivid does. Just pop in the DVD for "The Lion King" to see what I'm talking about. My only complaint would be on all four sides there is about a half an inch of dark tube and it makes it look like you're missing some of your picture. But I have been informed that's how Sony made it. Other then that, hook your DVD player and TV with component cables, add a Home Theater System (Preferabley Sony as well) and you're ready to go. For a 32" this seems like owning a 40". Trust me. The look of it too, is stylish to a tee.


5 out of 5 stars Simply a great TV   July 18, 2005
Daleel (New York)

I needed a new TV to replace my old Philips 25PS40 which I bought in 2001. At first I bought the 27" Samsung TXR2735, but then returned it due to a very bad picture quality, even after trying to adjust the contrast/brightness for a week. The Sony KV-32FS120 is simply a great TV: great sound, astounding picture quality (very life-like and vivid). I couldn't be happier. Unlike J. Travis, I like to keep the picture mode on Pro, increasing the brightness slightly. R. Pandolfo is also correct in saying that you need a friend to help you lift this TV out of the box and onto your stand. It is very heavy.


5 out of 5 stars A CRISP CLEAR PICTURE WITH A GOOD SOUND!   August 17, 2005
EDWARD A. BLESSING (Carmel,N.Y.)
8 out of 9 found this review helpful

Sony's 32 Flat TV is a real addition to any size room. Picture and Sound are excellent! Remote works well with add on components such as: VCR, Sat. TV Receivers. The only draw back The TV is very heavy and difficult to handle (need 2 strong people and stand). Price is good for the size. The TV cabinet and screen are very appealing to the eye. The TV comes with 4 picture mode settings that with a simple press on the remote you may set up the TV to watch enhenced VIVID / Movies to PRO Standard that offers a Beautiful Picture. TV System menu easily prompts you through all settings:Video/Sound/Passwords/Time etc. I also own a 52" projection RCA TV since 1994 which still provides a beautiful screen image, but this new Sony 32" Flat TV looks to be another good investment.

The picture is crisp, the controls are easy to use, and there is every type of connection you could want in the back. All around great TV.
