Notes

Two higher end version of this TV, the KV-27V45 and V65, were also produced. These models featured an extra A/V input and Picture-in-Picture.

This TV, along with other higher end Trinitron models, includes a Velocity Modulation feature. While this can help improve picture quality and reduce composite artifacts with video content, it fares poorly with pixel art and can have a detrimental effect on game graphics. It can also be disabled by disconnecting connector CN942 on the neck board. This is a 4-pin connector with a short cable that runs to a coil on the neck of the tube.

The jungle chips used in BA-4 and BA-4D chassis Trinitrons are very versatile, and these TVs can be modified for RGB and/or Component video. The RGB mod procedure is very similar to the KV-27S42.
