inch to 26-inch

We absolutely love this TV!! When we decided to buy this, we were not quite ready for this purchase. But we were in the city a couple months ago in the ABC Home Store and in that same building there was an electronics store we happened to bump into. What caught our attention were the cool selection of flat panel LCDs (we previously had expressed a mutual interest in one and were going to invest at some point). While there were quite a bit of cool ones, we spotted the KLV23 and immediately liked it. The 23" viewing area was perfect for us, not too small and not too big. We loved the way the picture looked and we liked the sound. When we got home, we did some research on it. So the next day we ordered it and received it the Friday of that week. It was very easy to set up. We ordered the wall mount for it, and that was easy to install as well. It looks awesome on the wall and the picture is just as good as we saw in the store. And the sound! This tv has an awesome sound especially when you set the WOW system on. We have it hooked up to an amplifier and speakers, and the combination of the sound is outstanding...it's really like having a mini theatre. But the tv holds up really well on it's own sound w/o the amplifier/speaker system. Also, you can set up different screen formats. We usually prefer the Zoom format, unless we're watching a movie with subtitles. Sometimes, depending on the movie, all the subtitles can't be seen. So that's where the Normal format comes in handy. Another of it's many features that we appreciate is that the remote control has a System Off feature which means that pressing that one button will turn off the tv, dvd player and amplifier at the same time. Pretty convenient. It's a vey clean installation overall. What we did is we got a cable tube to conceal whatever cables were visible now that we have it mounted on the wall. All I can say is that we have no regrets and this was money well spent. We love the way it functions and we love the look. Not too many LCDs have a cool black trim. And it being a Sony, how could we resist! I say read up on it thourouhly and if you decide to buy it afterward, you will not be sorry. It is one awesome toy!
