Amazon.com Product Description
Streamlined and capable of exceptional resolution, Sony's 23-inch KLV-23HR1 LCD television is configured in a widescreen, 16:9 aspect ratio to match the dimension of most movies and HDTV broadcasts. The image generated is bigger than you might think--to get a widescreen image this size using a standard, 4:3 aspect-ratio TV, you'd need a 25-inch diagonal set that would stand at least 4 inches taller.

The KLV-23HR1 offers 1,280 x 768 native pixel resolution and compatibility with 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i HDTV signals. The SRS WOW audio effect, which brings life to low and mid frequencies through the set's two 4-watt speakers.

LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including 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-23HR1 performs 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.

Sony's Digital Reality Creation Circuitry grants amazing picture resolution while proprietary Direct Digital Circuitry increases a video signal's signal-to-noise ratio before it reaches the DRC circuit, ensuring rich, natural-looking images from any source.

Finally, Channel Fix lets you select a specific TV channel (3, for example) for cable box reception. Then you can control a compatible cable box via the TV remote without inadvertently changing the TV from Channel 3. A handy Clean Wire Management System allows hidden integration into any home video setting by clever organization of connection wires to other home electronics devices.

Connections include a high-definition-compatible component-video input, 2 each composite- and S-video inputs (1 each on the front panel for ready connection to a camcorder or gaming console), and an RF coaxial input for hookup with an older VCR, cable box, or antenna.

What's in the Box
TV, operating instructions, remote control (RM-928Y), 2 batteries (for remote), AC adapter and power cord, registration card, warranty card, a table-top stand, and a 75 ohm coaxial cable.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome Mini Theatre!   July 11, 2004
Andi (Astoria, New York United States)
24 out of 24 found this review helpful

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 was 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 very 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!
