Amazon.com Product Description
Whether you're infusing home theater sensibilities into your office or simply wanting the option to access your desktop or laptop computer from the living room or kitchen, Sony's 23-inch KLV-S23A10 LCD television is the set for you. The high-definition-ready TV offers 1,3660 x 768 native pixel resolution and compatibility with 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i HDTV signals. The set's widescreen, 16:9 aspect ratio to match the dimension of most movies and HDTV broadcasts, and its onboard SRS TruSurround audio processing simulates a surround-sound effect through the set's two speakers (5 watts x 2). LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including a thin form factor (this set is just 3.6 inches thick), general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (no screen flickering or radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT TVs), accurate image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), long screen life with no risk of image burn-in, space savings, and light weight/easy positioning. The KLV-S23A10 also offers Sony's CineMotion reverse 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal, a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movie programs 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. Other enhancements include Sony's Advanced Video Processor (a one-chip video processor with a motion-adaptive 3D I/P converter), a Dynamic Picture processor (which maintains image detail in the very bright and dark areas of each scene), and a 3D Y/C comb filter, which removes blurred edges between colors and reduces dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped T-shirt). To simplify setup and operation, Sony provides its WEGA GATE easy-operation onscreen menu. Connections include a direct-digital HDMI interface for use with DTV set-top boxes, a VGA PC input, a high-definition-compatible component-video input, 3 each composite- and S-video inputs, and an RF coaxial input for hookup with an older VCR, cable box, or antenna. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your television. HDMI supports standard-definition (SD), enhanced definition (ED), or high-definition (HD) video, plus multi-channel digital audio--all using a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports up to 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements. What's in the Box
TV, operating instructions, remote control, 2 batteries (for remote), an RF coaxial cable, a VGA PC cable, an AC adapter and power cord, a registration card, a warranty card, a table-top pedestal.

Review is the result of a lot of research and 1 year of use! February 20, 2007

This is great TV with a good user interface and a spectacular picture. I have had no problems with it and although I know you can now getter better ones for less cost, if you can get this used at a good price or at a lower price than the newer models, you may want to consider it.
There are three different color modes on this TV and I use them all for different purposes. For example, low definition, non-digital signals often look best in VIVID mode. Flesh tones and dark shadowy scenes almost always look most realistic in PRO mode. However, for most purposes the STANDARD setting is great.
I am also very happy with the viewing of the picture at all different angles and with the lack of glare factor. On some of these HDTV sets, viewing at another angle changes the color or glare. This is not a good thing and it's downright annoying if you have multiple people viewing the set in your living room.
There are also many hook up possiblities and they are easy to reach. I did a lot of research before buying this and I'm very pleased with my TV 1 year latter. I'm also confident that I was very thorough in my research and for sets made during this period this is good quality and now you can get it for less.
A small shortcoming is that the built in speaker could be a bit louder. It is adequate for a small room, but if you really want great sound I would run it through your stereo or a home studio setup.

We are using these TVs (we bought 2) as extra monitors along side our 50 inch plasma to watch several things at the same time, and they are great. Haven't hooked up HD yet, but even cable and non-HD satellite look great. Great picture, lots of adjustment options. Also, a great TV for the price. This TV lists at a muvh higher price on most other internet sites and local stores.
Awesome!!! May 30, 2006

I had been saving up for a new tv for over a year and a half. I finally decided on the Sony KLVS23A10 23" TV. When I turned the set on, I was blown away by the clarity of the picture. This is my first HDTV and couldn't believe the detail of the picture. It was like I was looking at a 3D image. This set has four viewing options wide zoom, normal, full, and zoom. I personally prefer the wide zoom for movies because it brings the picture up close with minimal distortion.
The sound has three options dynamic, natural, and clear voice. I prefer dynamic. The first time I heard the sound on this set was when I was watching a movie, and there was a scene where water was dripping. The TruSurround was sooo goood that I had to check and see if it was raining outside.
I love my KLVS23A10 and would highly recommend it if you're in the market for a small sized HDTV with superior picture and sound. I can't wait to see football games on my new HDTV this fall.
 Pretty impressive flat screen HDTV March 26, 2006

This model does not have all the bells and whistles as the more expensive models, but still produces a great picture. Very happy with this television. Excellent for both HDTV and Xbox 360.
Great Value! March 9, 2006

This is the first posting I've had on Amazon. So, this shows my satisfaction with the product. I purchased this LCD for our bedroom as a replacement for a broken CRT television. Shopping around, it was hard to find a better value. For the price point, you either have to jump up quite a bit to get a better quality/larger screen. Or, you go way down in quality and size. So, if you're looking to limit your purchase to under $1000, I think this is the best value! The prices out there are under $1000 for this TV because the market is pushing some of the newer models with better technology.
The quality on this set is better than all the ones I've compared. The only caveat for you is to make sure you have the right cables/splitters, etc when installing it. Try to find that out before you buy any of the newer TVs. Best of luck with your decision!
