The Model is KV-36FV15 and it’s flat screen tube. I have always seen that Sony makes top of the line tube televisions. But, when I searched I have found that Wega’s have a lot of problems but that’s off reviews. I kind of feel that the only people that leave reviews are people with terrible reviews. For instance, I have a excellent tv at home so I don’t go online and look for reviews but if I have a problem that’s the first thing I do. The tv is used but in fantastic condition. I have seen the same tv online selling used for $300-$400, so it looks like I am getting a deal. Is Sony Wega excellent or terrible? Thanks for your time.
Well, HD isn’t vital to me since I won’t pay the extra money for the service. I am just looking for a fantastic picture on a standard television
If this one is working excellent, it does sound like a excellent deal.
I am buying a Sony 36" Wega TV for $100. Is it worth it?

I know someone with sony tube and it’s alright with him. If you are satisfied with non HD tv and ok with perhaps needing a converter box for hdtv channels for over the air broadcast only then go ahead. It’s no guarantee any tv will perform .But you don’t need a converter box if you have cable or satellite. It is a excellent deal for that price but if you don’t mind the space it takes up ,the weight and non hdtv then go for it.

If the TV isn’t very ancient, and is in very excellent condition, it can be a excellent deal.
Just realize that this isn’t a HDTV. It’s just a 4:3 TV that can do progressive scan (480p) but nothing higher than that.
A friend of mine has that same model of TV, and has never had any problems with it the years he’s had it, so this could be a excellent deal if you’re looking for a 4:3 TV.
One word of caution – being a CRT, that TV weighs a LOT. You will want at least 3 or 4 people to help you go it. You will also want to make sure you have a very stable and secure place to place this thing since it’s about 300lbs. I’d highly recommend getting one of those earthquake strap kits, even if you don’t live in an earthquake zone.

I have had a number of Wegas without any problems at all. The tube TVs are quick becoming a thing of the past, but at $100, I reckon that is a pretty excellent deal.

I cannot speak for that specific model, but I have a Sony 34" widescreen Flat Tube HDTV, a Wega, and it is an awesome TV, showing standard and HD both perfectly.
It has given me nothing less than 100% perfect reliable service in over 3 years of ownership, and quite possibly the nicest HD picture of it’s size I’ve ever seen.
BTW, I’ve seen these Sony HDTV Tube TVs on craigslist for $200 – $300 if you don’t mind moving them, as they are heavy. Mostly because people are buying huge screens and want to get rid of them. You could probably get one of the HDTV Wegas for $100 if you bargain.
UPDATE: You may not have to pay extra for HD service. My cable company now includes HD versions of many channels for no additional cost.
