Sony Tv

Yea, I feel like the wannabe poster child for Sony TV, but I have to say that I LOVE my Sony TV. I had another brand all through college and through the first years of teaching, as a stereotypically poor perso who graciously accepted hand-me-downs—one of which was a 16” television that worked just fine. But besides not having any cool features, whistles, or bells, the poor thing finally gave out…on Elvis weekend. That is, as I prepared to watch re-run Elvis movies in honor of his 50-something or 60-something birthday, the TV just went pop and refused to give me any more pleasure.

My boyfriend at the time had pissed me off for one reason or another, and to compensate, took me TV shopping, insisting I get a good—and fairly pricey—set. He pointed to a WOW/TruSurround Sony TV with a 30” (I think) screen. I was in love, and aghast. It was such a nice set, with PIP (picture-in-picture) and other novelties that a multitasker loves. And, he insisted I get the stand that it matched, too, so it would hold the VCRs and DVD and base booster (or whatever it is technically called), which he also bought for me.

I love my Sony TV! It has sound and picture adjustment options, so you can choose to “hear” and see a movie in soft movie theatre tones or in sports arena crispness (as well as in other possibilities—vivid, standard, etc.). You can add speakers, which, as with TVs other than the Sony TV allow you to have a stereo, mono, or SAP quality. The set has a feature for fixing channels and logging favorite channels; has a sleep timer (so it turns itself off when you fall asleep watching and don’t choose to dream about Charles Bronson or Ryan O’Neal or whatever late-night actor hits the channel during your precious REM). The set even has a parental control function to block those same violent or sexy movies and shows, etc., etc..

And although I don’t have the technical savvy to describe the LCD or plasma or inner workings of the new edition, I can say it does NOT have cathode tubes that blow beyond repair…as our technology has advanced and continues to advance beyond the days of replaceable three-dimensional parts fixed by the little old guy down the street. We have warrantees and “insurance”, though, knock on wood, I hope and think I won’t need to worry about unexpected breakdowns.

So if you will excuse me, I see the Turner Network is replaying Love Story (with, yes, Ryan O’Neal and Ali MacGraw), and it looks so good and real on my Sony TV, which I adore!
