Product Details

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.

HD Program List

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).
  • CineMotion® Inverse 3:2 Pulldown: using the reverse 3-2 pull down technology, the Cinemotion feature provides smoother picture movement when playing back movies or other video sources on film.
  • DRC-MF® (Digital Reality Creation Multi Function Circuitry) replaces an analog signal's NTSC waveform with the near-HD equivalent. The result is an image with four times the picture density.
  • HDMI™1 (High Definition Multifunction Interface) provides an uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface between the TV and any HDMI-equipped audio/video component, such as a set-top box, DVD player, and A/V receiver. HDMI supports enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio.
  • 3-D Digital Comb Filter separates luminance from chrominance in composite video signals using digital memory to improve the image.
  • Program Palette™ Presets (Vivid/Standard/Movie/Pro)
  • Favorite Channel allows you to preview up to sixteen favorite channels without leaving the current channel.
  • Parental Control (V-Chip) helps parents monitor what their children watch on TV by establishing rating limits.
  • Component Video Input (Y/PB/PR) 2 (Rear)1080i/720p/480p/480i capable, and achieves greater color accuracy than composite and S-Video when connecting to compatible devices (DVD players, VCRs, etc.).

Perfect Timing for This TV
By Movie Maven from Wake Forest, NC on 01/27/2007.
Pros: Attractive Design, Fast Setup, Simple Controls, Great Picture
Best Uses: Movies
No one can steal this TV from your home. It's too heavy. With the newer technology TVs still having problems, this TV is your best buy at this time in history. You get a wonderful wide screen picture for movies and HDTV capability built in. I am so proud of myself for doing the research to find this gem.
A high quality TV at a great price.
By Dinker from Upstate NY on 12/12/2006.
Pros: Attractive Design, Simple Controls, Fast Setup, Great Picture
Best Uses: Movies, Home
Cons: Size and Weight 200lbs
I have had this TV for three weeks and have loved everything about it. The picture is fantastic and the sound is very good. This is my first HD Television and found the HD channels to be stunning. I have not attempted to use the over the air channels so I cannot comment on that function. Plenty of inputs make hooking all of my equipment (DVD, Playstation2, Surround Sound) very easy. Buying from abtelectronics was a very pleasurable experience. Shipping was timely and they delivered the television right into my house. Overall I would recommend buying this Television [...].
Sony 34\" FD Trinitron WEGA XBR HDTV
By JAZ from Coralville IA on 12/5/2006.
Cons: Finding wide format broad, Difficult to Setup
Pros: Great Picture, Simple Controls
I haven't found a way to use the full screen yet. DVDs and VHS tapes weren't designed for widescreen pictures so you don't get use of the full screen. I don't have an antennae yet or digital TV cable broadcasts. I hope that one or the other will make use of the widescreen capabilities. This is a detail I wish I would have looked into before purchasing the TV. When going thru setup, I was unable to get a circle in one test, and could only get an oval to show. I am told that if this is the case, I have a problem with the TV. The program may have been set up for a 4X3 aspect ratio TV instead of 16X9 aspect ratio TV.
WOW!
By Andre from Kansas City, MO on 10/12/2006.
Pros: Simple Controls, Fast Setup, Great Picture, Attractive Design
Cons: Very Heavy
Best Uses: Video, Professional, Movies, Home
I just purchased the Sony KD34XBR970 along with Direct TV HD+DVR, all for under $[...] including delivery and installation. So to get true HDTV in your home this was a great deal both financially and picture quality. I have been researching and shopping for a HDTV solution for over 5 months, I truly believe you cannot get a better picture at any price with this combination. This 34 CRT 16x9 720P/1080i flat tube picture performs better than any expectation I had for HDTV, the blacks and contras ration is phenomenal, crisp detail, and the colors are so real it looks like you are looking out a window. This combination blew my socks off. Thanks you Sony & Direct TV, for providing the best HDTV solution. Note the Direct TV HD+DVR appliance did not come with an HDMI cable so you need to purchase this. The difference is very evident as far as the difference in the component compression method versus the HDMI pure digital format even in non-HDTV programs it make a world of difference.
