Sony 34" FD Trinitron WEGA XBR HDTV, Model KD34XBR970

Sony’s KD34XBR970 FD Trinitron® WEGA® Flat Screen Technology is the basis of Sony's award-winning line of visually flat televisions. The FD Trinitron 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.

Features:

• FD Trinitron® WEGA® Flat Screen delivers a picture with uncompromising accuracy and outstanding image detail via a technologically advanced tube.
  
• Analog and Digital Receivers built-in tuners allow you to receive both analog and digital (NTSC) programming. Digital programming is available via terrestrial signals (over-the-air).
