""With the unveiling of the 13-inch FD Trinitron WEGA TV, we have raised the benchmark for small-screen TV.""By incorporating Sonyís proprietary FD Trinitron picture tube, FD Trinitron WEGA TV creates a vertically and horizontally flat screen. This results in minimal glare and virtually no distortion. The fine pitch aperture grille produces strong detail and high resolution. A larger deflection yoke and longer electron gun than found in the original Trinitron technology have been incorporated for precise corner-to-corner focusing and better data and text reproduction.The 13-inch KV-13FM12 (gray), KV-13FM13 (white) and KV-13FM14 (blue), produce superb picture performance and feature a 3-Line Digital Comb Filter for clearer display of video images and the elimination of dot crawl. With vertical aperture compensation, edge detail is sharp so ghosting and multiple images - a common trait of smaller sets - disappear.Also, in tune with todayís lifestyles, the 13-inch FD Trinitron WEGA model features a built-in clock with timer and sleep settings, so consumers never have to miss their favorite show. Additionally, for private listening there is a convenient earphone jack.The sets also include a three-watt mono speaker, V-chip parental control, auto program, channel fix, channel skip/add, Speed Surfô channel selection, and one front and one rear A/V input for plug-and-play with game consoles like the PlayStationÆ.Since Sonyís introduction of the FD Trinitron WEGA televisions in 1999, consumers have been switching on in record numbers to the stunning picture performance of the industryís first - and best-selling - flat-screen television.""Having produced the first dramatic change in television picture quality since the creation of the Trinitron picture tube 30 years ago, the award-winning FD Trinitron WEGA TV has become the benchmark in flat-screen television,"" Werbitt said.The expanded lineup of FD Trinitron WEGA TV sets now ranges from 13- to 36-inches.
