The Sony Trinitron KV13FS100 WEGA television is completely flat vertically and horizontally, which provides a sharp three-dimensional picture that's virtually distortion free. This 13-inch set is a great choice for use in the kitchen or your vacation cabin. It features a 4:3 aspect ratio, a three-line digital comb filter (usually found on higher-end models), and a component-video input.
Sony's three-line digital comb filter compares consecutive horizontal scanning lines within a video frame and uses digital circuitry to make adjustments, providing outstanding picture quality with sharp, crisp edges, while virtually eliminating dot crawl. The KV13FS100 also features a dynamic picture processor, which maintains image detail in very bright and dark areas of each scene.
The built-in stereo speakers are positioned on the side and produce 3 watts of power apiece. The KV13FS100 has an component-video input (rear), 1 RF input (rear), 2 A/V inputs (1 front, 1 rear), and a headphone jack.

1 Beautiful Picture, Good Sound, Excellent Deal
This television has a beaufiful picuture. I recently bought and then sold a newer, larger television, because the picture quality was much better on this smaller set. (perceived picture quality always decreases as size increases, but the quality delta of the new set was just too great).
Sound quality is good, not great, but it is a small set.
I watch dvd's a lot and this has component video in - which is a must have in my opinion.
Also, remote control is smaller and easier to use than other models.
2 A Sweet Little TV!
If you are looking for a great little TV with an awesome picture and excellent sound, this is it!
The picture is incredibly sharp with terrific color. The speakers offer high quality stereo sound and hold up even when the volume is cranked.
I also really love the wide variety of menu options available from color, to your favorite channel selections, to tilt correction. I especially like the XDS feature that allows you to see what program is on and the time remaining just by clicking the display button.
The remote is small and simple which I find very convenient.
Lastly, it was very easy to set up and program. It took just a couple of minutes and I was watching my favorite shows.
I compared this to a Toshiba 14" 14AF44 as well as other leading brand 13" and 14" TV's. The Toshiba's picture quality was no where near as sharp as the Sony's nor did it have the color quality. The sound in the Toshiba was also not as crisp. In addition, the Toshiba had a remote that looked like it could operate a space station - talk about overkill! The other leading brands were not even contenders b/c the picture quality and sound could not compare to the Sony.
The only negative thing I can say about the Sony is that it was definitely the most expensive TV of all the ones that I reviewed. For example, it was about $50.00 more than the Toshiba. However, I am extremely happy with my Sony and I feel it was definitely worth the extra money!
3 This Television broke after 13 months minimal use!
Look for another brand/model.
