Summary

One of Sony's last series of curved Trinitrons, sold from 1997-1998. It is very similar to the KV27S40 and uses the same tube and chassis design. The V series TVs were sold as premium models, and include features like side mounted speakers, extra A/V inputs, A/V monitor output, and velocity modulation.

Notes

A higher priced version of this TV, the KV-27V65, was also produced. This model featured higher wattage speakers and a Picture-in-Picture feature.

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 a connector 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.
