Great HDTV for video games |
This is my first tv from Sony, and what a doozy it is! I purchased a HDTV for playing my Xbox and Gamecube in high def. Most games on the market right now support 480p, and some games even support 1080i! Even though only a few games support THAT resolution, my console games look really good in 480p. There is such a big difference in picture quality...it's astounding. The major reason though is that the next gen consoles will support HD as well, with all games running in at least 720p. Can't wait for that.
Cable looks great as well. Channels that are 1080i in widescreen are freaking increadible. Normal channels...so-so. Sometimes they look pretty good, but the picture is a bit on the grainy side.
This is a great HDTV. Even though the price is a bit steep, I think it's well worth it. Remember to buy component cables to watch tv and other devices in high def. Channels that support HD are amazing, and my games are awesome. Get the 34 inch model if you're in a bigger room though. |

Best HDTV for the price! |
I've being looking to buy an HDTV widescreen for more than 2 years. I did all the research there is to find out what was the best for the price, reliability and picture quality. I've checked DLP, LCD, Plasma,....CRT is best imo after the plasma. Not that plasma is bad but having to pay $250 for the light bulb every 4000 to 6000 hours! No thanks. And Plasma TV aren't that afortable yet.
I'm a movie freak and a gamer. You have a progressive scan DVD player plus the component cables and you are set. Same thing goes for the PS2, Gamecube or Xbox.
I'd like to keep on with this review but I have some many movies to watch and games to play again right now! All my DVDs are in widescreen format and I'm finally getting to watch them how they are meant to be watched! |

Fabulous Picture Quality! |
We have needed a new tv for quite some time (our 14 year old Hitachi set was failing), and after doing research on the different types of tvs available, plasma vs LCD vs conventional set, I decided to go with a conventional set, which delivers the best picture for the least amount of money.
I chose Sony's KV-30HS420 widescreen high definition tv after looking at a number of tvs in the store and reading reviews (it recently got a great rating in the March 2005 issue of Consumer Reports).
I could have saved about $60 on the set buying on Amazon rather than locally, but decided not to in case there were any problems with the set and also I would have to wait at least a week to receive it. Be warned that if this is your first HD tv, you will probably need to spend about $150 buying new cables to take advantage of the HD features when you hook up your dvd player and cable box to the tv. I bought two sets of Monster brand cables for my Comcast DVR cable box and my dvd player.
This tv is HEAVY! My husband and I managed to carry this down steps from our driveway into the house and then down a flight of steps into our basement tv room, but that's only because he's very strong. You really need at least 2 strong people to carry this. If you buy locally and can't find help, it would be worth it to pay for delivery and set up.
We did have some problems hooking up our cable box to the tv, as Sony's directions are not clear, but we finally got everything working. We have Comcast digital cable and receive a number of HD broadcasts and the picture quality is unbelievable! Our dvds look equally as great.
If you are considering a new tv, I would highly recommend this model. |
