Amazon.com Product Description

Ready for high-definition entertainment right out of the box? Sony's panoramic KD-34XS955 FD (flat display) Trinitron WEGA television features a built-in HDTV tuner for high-quality, off-air reception of HD broadcasts. It's cable-ready, too, of course, and the 34-inch set also offers analog and digital high-definition inputs, great audio features, and a suite of picture-enhancing technologies. Whether you're watching VHS tapes, DVDs, or off-air high-definition (480p, 720p, 1080i) broadcasts, your programs will look breathtakingly good. A Memory Stick media slot with JPEG/MPEG-1/MP3 compatibility simplifies playback of video clips, MP3 music files, and still pictures from compatible cameras and music players.

DRC--Digital Reality Creation MultiFunction circuitry--upconverts standard interlaced (480i) video sources to 960i or progressive-scan 480p, while inputs as high-quality as 720p (720 lines, progressively scanned) are upsampled to full 1080i. Because DRC processes video signals in real time, it creates an image with 4 times the density of the original signal.

Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p and 720p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. The set's auto 16:9 enhanced mode detects anamorphically encoded widescreen program sources and offers full picture resolution on the video program, wasting none of its usable lines of resolution on the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

The KD-34XS955's high-voltage regulator maintains consistent image size, despite variations in b rightness during scene changes and channel changes.

ClearEdge VM wideband velocity modulation improves the definition at picture edges, creating sharper images by slowing the CRT (cathode-ray tube) beam's horizontal scanning during demanding work--say, when rendering transitions from light to dark parts of an image--and speeding it up when scanning easily rendered sections, like broad dark areas. The set's 3D digital comb filter compares each horizontal scanning line with the lines above and below it, as well as with the corresponding lines on previous and subsequent video frames. This results in higher horizontal resolution, higher vertical resolution, and reduced video noise.

The KD-34XS955 also employs CineMotion Reverse 3-2 PullDown technology (often called 3:2 pulldown), a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movies in their native 24-frame format. Digital video mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

Finally, Dynamic Focus circuitry automatically adjusts the picture during each scanning line for consistent corner-to-corner sharpness. Authorized CableCARD ability means the set will receive digital cable television systems services directly from a cable operator without requiring a bulky, external cable box.

Two high-definition component-video inputs grant optimum connection with a DTV decoder and progressive-scan DVD player, while standard composite- and S-video inputs accommodate all DVD players. The set's HDMI interface provides a digital connection with your DTV receiver. HDMI supports standard-definition (SD), enhanced definition (ED), or high-definition (HD) video, plus multi-channel digital audio--all using a single cable.

Choose between rear AV inputs and a set of front AV inputs for extra convenience. A rear AV output offers a switchable fixed- and variable-level analog audio output for hookup with a surround receiver or integrated amplifier.

The set features stereo speakers with BBE sound enhancement, 7.55 watts per channel, and a separate, 15-watt subwoofer for full bass sound right from the television. If you don't have Dolby Pro Logic processing or a surround speaker system, the TV's SRS TruSurround will simulate surround sound through any 2 speakers.

Other video technologies include Dynamic Picture Processor circuitry, Trinitone color temperature control, and vertical aperture compensation.

Phenominal - The Last Of A Dying Breed!.......2006-07-04

This is the first HDTV i have ever owned, and for my first HDTV i can't believe this is my very first set! I have been researching HDTV's for months and months and this t.v is what i decided on.

The picture quality is DARN stunning to look at. NO ghosting, NO burn in, and NO artifacts. At any viewing angle the picture remains intact and in perfect condition. I play my xbox360 on this baby, and it displays PERECT. That is one of the main reasons why i bought this set in the first place, just for gaming. No T.V on the face of this earth can match this SUPER FINE PITCH TUBE, even to this day! When i popped in a dvd into my progressive scan DVD player "OH MAN" the DVD's looked like they were in HIGH DEF.

The sounds from the speakers are not bad at all with a built in subwoofer, so I can't really complain. The OVER THE AIR(OVA) tuner is cool, i automatically get local high def channels without a cable set top box. The DRC is cool also, turning some local channels into 480i. Their is also a cable card slot.

I am very, very blessed to have gotten this t.v at ALL. Especially in June of this year 06". This T.V along with the other SUPER PICTURE TUBE models are no longer manufactured. They stopped making these t.v's in 2005. It was either this or the Samsung 32" LCD (LN-S3251D). Only GOD knows how i would have felt if i plunkered all that dough for a mediocre 32" LCD.

I guess this T.V should last me untill S.E.D(Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display) T.V's go way, way, down in price because S.E.D(Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display) T.V's are the only tv's that can match this SUPER FINE PITCH PICTURE TUBE.

I am overwhelmed by this t.v and very extremely happy that i got one. If any of you out their can find one you will never regret it!

What a set!!.......2004-10-19

After spending time trying to decide which and what kind of TV I wanted, I bought this TV on a moments notice in the store when I found out they had it in stock and what the price was. (I got it for quite a bit less than listed on Amazon or at Circuit City). So check around for the best price.

I upgraded my Time Warner DVR cable box to an HDTV DVR box so I could use component video connections and pick up HDTV (Time Warner doesnt charge extra for in in NYC). If you can upgrade to HDTV, DO IT!! HDTV broadcasts fill the entire widescreen with eye popping video. Watching TV shows and more importantly sports is an amazing eye opening experiance. I wish I would never have to watch regular broadcast TV again. Football games and Baseball playoffs on FOX HDTV are amazing.

In between games I tried out the new Star Wars DVD on an older progressive scan DVD player (no 4:3). The movie looked awesome and this TV puts out amazing sound too. The bass rumbles nicely without an external subwoofer.

This TV also has an amazing number of inputs so you can connect anything any way in any way. IT also has the new HDMI port, but I havent found anything else that has it yet. HDMI is nice b/c it is digital vieo and digital multi channel sound in one nice simple cable/connector.

This is an awesome TV that will cause my couch to get an extremely high amount of use from everyone I know comming over to watch sporting events and DVDs. If you get this set, prepare for guests too.
