Product Description:
On February 17, 2009, the Federal Communications Commission will flick a switch converting analog TV to digital TV for all. If you don't have a widescreen HDTV capable TV by then, you'll be missing out. Here's a TV that lets you enjoy HD video and TV right now and will let you be ready for that fateful day when all TV will be digital. Sony's KD-34XBR970 FD Trinitron(R) WEGA Flat Screen Technology is the basis of Sony's award-winning line of visually flat televisions. The FD Trinitron(R) sets deliver incredible image accuracy, wide viewing angles, outstanding contrast, and corner-to-corner detail. The visually flat FD Trintron tube minimizes annoying glare from light sources, which enhances contrast. Detail, corner-to-corner, is rendered more accurately because images aren't distorted by a curved screen. Squares are square, straight lines appear straight, and circles are circular. With its integrated ATSC digital TV tuner you can receive free over-the-air HDTV broadcasts (an optional HDTV antenna is required) and its NTSC analog TV tuner lets you enjoy current TV shows. An HDMI port lets you connect up and coming HD-DVD and BluRay disc players for true high-definition enjoyment. If you're seeking the comfort of a traditional TV but want to upgrade to enjoy the latest and best that TV and video have to offer, this TV is an extremely wise choice and great value.

Rating : - Best TV... Bar None!
I finally took the plunge into HD after resisting a long time. I didn't see how the TV experience could improve THAT much, but what a surprise! I had two regular Sony Wegas prior to the HD so I was pretty familiar with the quality of the set. The Wega 34 HD is nothing short of fantastic! Programming that I watched for years in regular format now became something new! Viewing a simple football game puts you right into the action with stunning clarity and sound. Things you missed before now come alive and though this set is extremely heavy and somewhat bulky, compared to plasma sets, the quality of picture and sound far outweigh this minor downside. At $1,000 it was one of my smartest investments.
