Geometry looks acceptable, I’d tweak pin amp to pull the corners in a bit. Sony’s engineering can be a blessing and a curse; amazing when they’re working but a PITA to service. 32” is huge, then add in an aperture grill and it’ll be one of the heavier CRT’s to transport. It looks very high end for a consumer TV and I get the sentiment when a tube just fails to impress. Keep em coming my friend!

Ohhh my dream crt. i have an xbr45 which has a similar tube, and same chassis excrpt it dosent have component. even on composite signal ive found the colours to be amazing. like yours, it blooms like crazy but the colours r so nostalgic looking. i look forward to seeing how it looks using component video

I have the Sony KV-35XBR48 that I got for free over 2 years ago and enjoyed this set for quite some time. Unfortunately, as I was making adjustments, I accidentally turned up the flyback transformer screen potentiometer too high and the set now powers on without any picture showing up. I am not sure what the problem is and have been trying to fix it for over a year now and plan on selling it since it's a rare set.

I have the KV-27V35 and it also has the buttons on top. No component though. It's a great TV. Like you, though, it's not my favorite TV. I have a Panasonic Gaoo and it's my favorite.

i think sony's having those issues are from heavy use. I got a 1993 trinitron with the 80s looking chassis, and the grid is literally flawless. its actually insane. it may as well be an LCD its so straight. a couple smaller trinis i have look similar. i do also have ones that come with wretched convergence/geometry though.

Ooh the model nujber should be on topp bottom by the label sony on said remote commander unit or fwiw I feel it appears to be in small characters to the right of that just up a little bit below the buttons.

Is "Web" the only option under video label settings that you notice actually affects the picture? All other choices (Game, DVD, etc) are the same?

I have this same set and I like it a lot, the colors really stand out on it compared to my FS120. I wouldn’t say anything bad about the XBR48 if the issues are age related.

do you realize its prob the most sought after crt in existence? why even compare it to an fs120 lol. if it has any issues, im sure they can be fixed. besides dim tube.

@@c0rpse1I mean, yeah, the FS120 doesn’t compare to an XBR48, but tube condition at this point is more important and even more so as time goes on.

@@c0rpse1Doesn’t matter how sought out it is if the tube is very worn lol. Riggel here on KZbin had the XBR48 and got rid of it. He preferred his XBR200.

How’s the comb filter look? Any moire or rainbow banding? That’s usually present if the comb filter is too weak
