In Reply to: How do you like your SONY? posted by GTF on August 22, 2003 at 20:02:33:
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.
