    Good Points: Very stylish, picture quality quite good (but nothing to wow over), easy to use. So far very reliable. Sound is very good.


    Bad Points: Expensive, but then it is a Sony. When you view teletext, the format changes automatically to widescreen, and this continues in subtitles as well. Annoying. Fan noise is a definite minus. Inbuilt tuner is not necessary, as there will be no one with this TV and without satellite/freeview/VCR.


    General comments: You get a lot of appreciative glances and sounds from guests for this TV. The Sony KZ42TS1 is a very stylish piece of equipment. Gave no trouble at all to date (18 months). Inability to go directly to a particular AV channel is a definite minus, as you have to go through AV 1,2,3 and 4 before you reach AV5, for example. Sometimes bands persist for a few hours, especially after viewing text, but this is not a major issue. Picture quality with DVD is superb. The fan makes a good amount of noise, and when viewing at nighttimes, is very perceptible, and quite a distraction. I would definitely advise getting this TV to anyone, but I hope they make one without a fan in the coming models.
