Sony 36 flat screen TV

Sony has been refining their flat-faced FD Trinitron Wega design since 1998. Every year their TVs have gotten a little better, and this year's KV-36FV310 is very impressive. Nothing else quite matches the natural-looking depth and dimensionality, and corner-to-corner clarity of Wega TVs. The '36FV310 has the traditional squarish 4:3 aspect ratio screen, so you'll enjoy screen-filling detail and clarity with your everyday news and network shows — and watching sports, it feels like you're sitting much closer to the field. Sony's best 3D digital comb filter actually improves resolution while reducing video noise. If you're trying to decide between a 32" and a 36", a 36" offers 25% more screen area — a significant difference. If you've never owned a big-tube TV, you'll be bowled over by the big, vibrant picture — especially viewing high-quality sources like DVD. Unlike VHS tapes, which usually re-format movies to fit a standard TV screen, DVDs often present movies in their original widescreen format. When the KV-36FV310 detects that a widescreen "anamorphic" DVD is playing, it can automatically switch to "16:9 Enhanced" mode. Videophiles rave about 16:9 Enhanced. Where most TVs reduce the number of scanning lines — and resolution — of anamorphic DVDs by 25%, 16:9 Enhanced mode slightly compresses the height of each line so you see the full 480 scanning lines. No image quality is lost because all of the scanning lines are concentrated in the 16:9 window and none are wasted on the non-usable portion of the screen (the black bars above and below). So whether the video source is widescreen or standard, you get full resolution — you'll love the picture! The KV-36FV310's big 36" screen makes it an excellent candidate for combining with an A/V receiver and speakers to experience home theater thrills — especially when watching DVDs. But for those times when you don't want to fire up your whole system, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the '36FV310's muscular sound — 30 watts total, including 15 watts for the built-in subwoofer.
