In Reply to: SONY news release posted by GTF on August 21, 2003 at 06:32:43:
George, thanks for the Sony news release. These new models explain the price drop in my KV-34XBR800 when I bought it a few months ago. Of course mine doesn't have the new super fine pitch CRT but it does have the DVI input. I'd love to try HDTV someday via DVI on satellite or direct broadcast.
Follow Ups:
I'm still torn between the DLP and a CRT.
I'm holding off until I see the new SONY.
That DSL always looks so good.

Sorry it's taken a while to get back to you. I like the Sony KV-34XBR800 a lot. It may have been the lighting in the store but I found the CRT set to be sharper and brighter than the Samsung DLP. I like it 'bright' for daytime viewing as my room has very large windows and it gets very bright in the house.The Sony has four preset 'picture modes': Vivid, Standard, Movie, and Pro. Vivid is the brightest mode and Pro the darkest. I set it to Movie mode for watching DVD's in a dark room. I also picked up a Home Theater tune-up / set-up DVD and calibrated the Movie mode per the instructions and it looks great. The DVD also allows for adusting the speaker levels.
Since I couldn't buy a Plasma screen due to buzzing at high altitude and the high price, I already had my mind made up that I would buy a CRT. But I swear this is my last CRT! It's a beast! I hate how huge and heavy it is so I don't plan on moving it anytime soon.
Abe thanks for getting back. Thats what counts. I like the Sonys myself but am concerned about the weight issue. I am only renting right now and have to consider moving it about in the future when I'm older then what I already am. The room isn't very bright so washout won't be an issue. I also like the no burn-in issue when watching 4/3's with the DLP. Sony has a smaller 30" XBR but even that weighs in around 175lbs. Only about 100 lbs more then the DLP. Samsung has a 26" 16/9 that might fit the bill for myself, it weighs 90 lbs.
I'm rambeling, no not really I'm justifying to myself spending the extra $1,200.00 for the DLP.
Thanks
George
34XBR910 & a 21" Sony computer monitor.
The Plasma's were stunning on the HD feed but were disappointing with a regular satellite feed.
