Sony FD Trinitron WEGA KV-32FS210 32 inch TV

I bought this set used from a person moving overseas and hence got an awesome deal on it. Took myself and a friend 3 hrs to move it down 2 flights of stairs, into a hatchback (barely), 45 min ride, and then up a flight of stairs into my apt. Needless to say, the flat screen and the crt tube of this unit makes this set extremely heavy.
However, once the unit was plugged in the tv's picture was a thing to behold. I had owned a panasonic before and this sony's picture brilliance blew the panasonic out of the water. Cable television and DVDs are crisp and vivid. The 16:9 feature, for DVD playback, while producing the best picture ive seen on a non HD signal, in my opinion is rather small and useless even on a 32 inch tv. And contrary to what someone else wrote here about this set being HDTV ready, this set is NOT HD ready. One last thing, this set is quite pleasant to the eye and makes a nice decorative addition along with my Sony Dream System.
