In Reply to: RE: How big is the screen? ... posted by three_sox on October 31, 2011 at 20:23:43
It's 24 inch crt. Flat screen tube. Model KV24FV12.
UPDATE: well, last night I had more time to sit down and watch the thing. I'm less sanguine than I was before. I think my 22 year old Sony KV20TS21 spoiled me forever. It had such a lush, pristine picture and color...and this from a set made in 1989!
The color on the KV24FV12 isn't the best. Also, I can see the lines of resolution, most clearly on bright scenes, with white or light blue backrounds. Boy, that's one thing you don't have to deal with with HD. Also, Sony seems to have gone to alot of trouble with the speakers. They're side mounted. They've got a lot of thumping, gratutous bass boom. I've had to turn the bass way down on the TV, but it still rumbles through; and, turning down the bass too far makes the rest of the sound awful.
Did they lose something when they moved to flat screen tubes? Maybe old is just old.
I don't know. I just want my old set back. Should've bought two of them back in 1989, and kept one as a spare.

You still didn’t mention the make, model & size of the set you returned.
I suspect you are trying to compare apples with oranges and coming up
with egg on your face :)
Any half-decent flat tube CRT should have an excellent picture but in comparison to the better flat panels of today they are just not in the race.
Also size!!!!!! Are you really trying to compare the viewing enjoyment from a 22 inch screen versus a 50 or 60 inch screen?
My computer monitor is a full HD LED lit LCD and 32 inches in size. It has an excellent picture. However I don’t watch movies on it because I much prefer the 65 inch plasma in my main HT set-up. (Size really dose matter)
I suggest if you want anything better than ordinary sound from a TV you will need to hook up external amps & speakers.
Other than the el-cheapo flat panels most of the current HD flat panel models have an excellent picture.
Give the 22 incher to some kid down the road and buy yourself a minimum of a 50 inch HD flat panel and enjoy it.

Yes, I should've specified everything. OK. Here it is:
JVC JLC32BD3000 32" LCD 60hz
My space and seating arrangement dictates a small screen. 32" is max.
The 24 inch CRT Sony is a KV24FV12, flat panel, made in 2000.
I'm not worried about eggs or predatory mammals as much as winding up with a collection of other people's unwanted, smelly, old TV's. And STILL being unhappy. Going back to B&W, dammit.
... They are cheap and there should be many of them around on display for you to choose the one you like.
Don’t worry about new/better sets coming out. Just buy a good one now and if you see something better in 12 months buy it. At 32 inch we are only talking pocket change.
OR stick with the miniature CRT :)
IMHO once one is hooked on size it is hard to watch anything else.
For movies and music DVDs I only watch our 65” Panasonic plasma. We have a 50” plasma in our bedroom but I only watch the late news on it.
Have fun!

I've stuck doggedly with my 46" rear projection 16:9 Sony CRT dating from 2005.
To me it feels like going to the movies. Its not as sharp as a current flat panel, but it has other redeeming features.
