I have a question about TV resolution (CRT). Is the resolution a function of the phosphor screen or is it a function of the electron gun that scans the pictures? That is, are the phosphors laid down in rows and columns which determine the horizontal and vertical resolution, or are the phosphors...

I also am puzzled by this. Shouldn't the display be set on whatever mode you will be watching it, when you are doing the calibration?

I actually have the opposite effect on my 27FS13: I have gray lines on running vertically on either side of the screen that is only noticeable on bright scenes. Also, when I look at my tv screen (tv is off) in a bright room, the screen appears a lighter gray in the centre and darker all around...

The Sony Wegas have different display modes, labeled "Standard", "Movie", "Vivid", and "Sports". If I take the adjustments off the default, do the names of these modes have any meaning anymore? For example, if I set the "Standard" settings to the same values as the "Movie" settings, will there...

Jack, As far as unshielded speakers next to TVs go, how close is too close? I just bought a new TV and I use unshielded speakers which are set up on either side of the TV. They're small bookshelf speakers about 2.5 feet away from the TV. I haven't noticed any interference with the TV image...

Well, whenever lenses are involved, there is something called light falloff. This simply means that due to the nature of lenses (and apertures), the greatest amount of light transmission is at the centre of the image area. As you move out from the centre to the edges, there will be less light...

John, If only I could afford it!

Well guys, I opted for the Sony KV27FS13 because I needed the squeeze feature. To my eyes, it made quite a bit of difference in the details. But how do you keep from getting screen burn in if you watch 95% DVD on squeeze and only 5% 4:3?

Rob, I think most Sony Trinitrons have a degaussing coil built in, which is activated each time the TV is turned on. There should be a "whomp" noise when you turn it on. If you want to know what it sounds like, check your computer monitor. There should be a manual degauss - activate it and...

Hi folks, I just purchased a KV27FS13 and I've been checking it out with the Sound and Vision calibration disk. There are a few things bothering me and I'd like to know if this is normal or signs of a lemon. 1. On the contrast adjustment screen, the two thin white lines that run up and...

I am facing the same situation as the original poster: Wega 27" or non fs 32". I would like to have a better picture than just a large screen for size's sake; do you think that the Wega 27" has better image quality than a similarly priced 32"? The tv is mainly for viewing DVDs so the vertical...

I was thinking of picking up a KV27FS13, but I've been told that this model has been discontinued. Is it worth it to shop around and try to find one or should I wait for the replacement model? Does anyone know what the specs/features/price of the replacement model will be? Thanks.

Images on my TV appear to be slightly shaking from side to side and if I look at the edges of objects, there appears to be a moving "zipper" running up the side. This is most noticeable with a still image such as a DVD menu with text i.e. the text appears to be moving slightly from side to side...
